A smile spread across her face when her phone rang and saw that it was her manager, no doubt calling to tell her if she got the part in the new Meryl Streep movie. "Hey Scotty, what's up?" She asked, trying to act as casual as possible.
"Hey Anna," he started without any emotion either way to give her any hints whatsoever. "I have some bad news…" there it was. "They're going with Jennifer Lawrence for that part in the Meryl Streep film."
When there was no response so he continued. "I'm sorry. I know how badly you wanted that part. We'll get 'em next time."
"Thanks for letting me know. I'll talk to you tomorrow," Anna whispered before hanging up the phone. Without even thinking, the blonde sent a text to her boyfriend, asking him to come over.
Half an hour later, Anna's boyfriend was knocking on her door. "Hey, are you ok?" Skylar asked immediately after she opened the door.
The blonde forced a smile and nodded before moving to let him in.
"So what's up?" Skylar asked as he sat on the couch, pulling Anna into his side when she sat down next to him.
Before she could stop them, tears were bursting from Anna's eyes. "I didn't get the part in that Meryl Streep movie. I know it's stupid, but I really wanted it."
"Hey, it's not stupid. If you're crying over not getting a part, it means you really cared about the project as a whole and doing the character justice." Skylar reassured as he pulled his girlfriend in for a hug and soothingly rubbed her back.
"Thank you for understanding. I love you." Anna said through sniffles.
Skylar kissed her ears as he continued comforting his girlfriend. "You're welcome. I love you, too."
