Author's Note: So I'm back with this story. I know I said I'm going to put it back with some changes but I think I will stick to my original plan of story. I'm kind of busy with my summer job, so if I make some changes it'll be messy. I hope you understand. :) Well, the first ten chapters are the same with my 'I Need You', so if you read that already just wait for a few days and I'll post up the real update. Well, go on and read (again). :)
Disclaimer: I do not own anyone in this story.

-chapter 1-
* Addison Adrianne Forbes Montgomery *
Being an actress is not always fun. You need to learn how to socialize; you need to learn how to be patient when paparazzi follow you. There's a good thing in being an actress though, you are known to the whole world, being paid a lot of money even in just appearing in a commercial. But even though you are rich and famous, the whole world knows every detail in your life and having a lot of rumors that most of them are not true, and that is what Addison is tired of.
"I hate this! What is the big deal of having a simple lunch with your co-worker?!" shouted Addison who was looking at the newspaper with a picture of her and Kevin, her co-star on her drama show, with a headline that says: PLAIN CO-WORKERS OR LONG TIME LOVERS? Savvy, Addison's long time friend, just sat in the couch while drinking her hot chocolate and finding her friend's rants amusing and kind of funny.
"Are you just going to stare at me and drink your damn coffee?! Don't you have something to say about this Blondie?!" said Addison to Savvy.
"Blondie? Geez, Addison what happened to your perfect vocabulary? And by the way, this is not coffee, this is hot chocolate. There is a big difference between those two. Coffee is kind of bitter which you're acting right now and hot chocolate is sweet, which is me" teased the smirking Savvy. When Savvy said that, Addison stopped pacing and glared at Savvy then threw the newspaper to Savvy.
"Okay, fine. You want me to say something? Well here it is; I'm not saying anything about that article because that already happened before and a lot of times already. Most of the hot guys who are not married that you've worked with, they always end up being in the paper with you saying you're dating him, the two of you are together and there was even a time that it said that you and some guy will get married. And you have never complained about it, so why now? What the hell is wrong with you Addie? You've been snappy and cranky for the past few weeks and let me tell you this, I'm not the only one who noticed." explained Savvy.
Addison was almost crying when Savvy was explaining. And when Savvy did finish, she broke down into sobs. Savvy, who's still breathing heavily because of her long rant, stared at her friend. But as a true friend she is, Savvy went beside Addison to comfort her and asking her what is really wrong.
"You know what's wrong, Savvy? This! The paparazzi, the crazy work hours, the rumors, everything that's going on in my life when I leave this house." said Addison, flailing her arms to prove her point.
"I thought you want this life Addison? I mean, you've been saying to me since we were little that you want to be famous and rich like your mom", asked Savvy.
"I did want this, Savvy. But now, I don't know anymore. Everything is just so complicated. I want to have a life Savvy. A life that means I get to go to other countries and really see the beauty of the country, to just have a walk with my dog in the park without being swarmed by people, to just go out and get my mail without putting on make-up so people will still see me as a star and to have someone special who will be there for me whenever I feel sad, happy, depressed or sick and to have a family with that special someone. That is the life I want now, Savvy", said Addison.
"Oh, Addie, why are you telling me this now? I mean, it looks like you've been having this thought of this life long before this article showed up. When did you realize you want that kind of life? And are you even sure that you want that life not just because everything in the industry has been crazy right now?" asked Savvy, feeling sorry for her friend.
"Yes Savvy! I want that kind of life. And I've realized that when I saw this family in a restaurant where we had this shooting, they're just so happy and so care-free and I just want to have that kind of life again, happy and care-free. And remember when I was little, I was so jealous of every actress I see and I want to be like them. But when I did become like them, I'm now jealous of being an ordinary woman", cried Addison.
Not knowing what to answer or say anymore, Savvy just comforted her crying friend. After a while, Addison stood up and went to the bathroom, saying she needs to get ready for her photo shoot. When Savvy got up, something caught her eye in the magazine. 'That's probably not a good get-away for Addison but she really needs it', thought Savvy.
"Hi, I saw your promo in a magazine and I just want to ask if it's still okay to make a reservation? Oh, no, no, it's for my friend actually. Oh, okay. Her name is… Angel, Angel Lewis. Yes, thank you very much." Said Savvy who immediately hung up when she saw Addison emerging from the bathroom.
"So, I'm ready. Let's go Sav. Oh and by the way, thank you for listening to me and just being a great friend. It feels like you're the only one who I can trust", said Addison.
"Don't worry about it, Addie. We're friends, that's what friends do, listen to each other", said Savvy who is smiling.
When they got on the limousine that will take them to the studio where the photo shoot will be held, Addison's words kept repeating on Savvy's head and every time she hear the word 'trust', she can't help but to feel guilty about what she did a few moments earlier. 'I really hope this works, because I don't want to lose Addie. She is a great friend but she really deserves a break', thought Savvy.
