Present Day

Cold, sad, depressed, abandoned.

That is how I feel at the moment. My name is Rachel Berry and I am currently in a homeless shelter in downtown New York. How did I get like this? I was famous but I let it all drip away. My love life is over, I lost my friends and even my career. I was somebody

Now I am nobody.

2 Years Ago

I wave my diploma in my hand, my dads behind me and Finn and Kurt at my side. Me and Kurt just graduated from the famed music and drama academy: NYADA! I had my whole world ahead of me, or so I thought.

"Congradulations, Rachel. I couldn't be more proud of you!" said Finn.

"Thanks, Finn! I just can't believe this is actually happening to me! This diploma is just the first step towards my career! Next stop: BROADWAY!"

I felt like a bird; free and joyful. My dreams were finally going to come true. I was going to be somebody.

Audition

The next day (I just couldn't wait) I auditioned to play Elphada in the fame musical Wicked on Broadway. The actress decided to leave the show and they were in need of a new actress, and fast! After my audition (which I found to be amazing!) they narrowed it down to two girls: yours truly and some trampy looking girl named Regina. I heard that the producer was going to go with Regina. This bit of news really troubled me. So I did a deed that I am ever regretful for. I took her out for a Starbucks.

"Thanks you so much for the coffee Rachel!" said Regina. "You are so talented; I just know that they will pick you for the role!"

Ya right! Bitch please, you know you will get it, I can see it in your face. I needed that role, and I would do ANYTHING for it!

"Hey Regina, how about you come over to my house, we can have a Girl's Night. We can watch Funny Girl and do each others nails and talk about the play!"

"Oh my God, Rachel! That sounds like so much fun! Let me just get changed and I'll meet you there!"

Excellent! My plan was in action. Tonight I will eliminate the competition… literally.
