* Savvy, The Thoughtful Friend *

After the photo shoot, Addison went straight to her interview for E News to talk about her upcoming movie and all that's been happening in her life. She thought that she will not have to deal with the issue between her and Kevin, but Ryan suddenly asked her about it.

"So, Addison there's been a lot of talking around saying that you and Kevin are dating. Is it true? I mean, we saw pictures of you and Kevin having lunch in an Italian Restaurant, we even saw in a photo of you and him holding hands", said Ryan.

'Here it goes again' thought Addison before stating her answer, "No, Ryan. We're not dating, we are just friends. And about the lunch part, we had a shooting near that place and it's a scene that involves just the two of us. After the shooting, we were so hungry, so we decided to eat in that restaurant. That's it, there's nothing going on between the two of us," said Addison.

"Really? Wow, well your fans will probably be disappointed after hearing that. The two of you really look good together. But anyway, thank you for having time for this interview. And also, good luck to your movie which also stars Kevin. So, promote your upcoming movie," said Ryan to Addison.

"It's a pleasure to be here Ryan. And yes, Kevin is also in this movie. I am inviting everyone to please watch our upcoming movie, Only Stolen Moments, which will be in theatres on June 19. There will be a movie premiere on June 17. I hope to see all of you," said Addison.

After that, Addison was chatting with Ryan for a while when her manager, Donna, excused her from Ryan. She told Addison that the company called her, saying that she needs to be in a meeting that night about something.

"What? This night, I can't Donna. I have to do something. Can I just have this meeting tomorrow?" pleaded Addison.

"I'm sorry, Addison. I know you're tired but they really said that it's important. Maybe it's just for a while. The limo will pick you up at your house at around 6pm. See you later", said Donna. She was about to exit the door when she suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Addie! Savvy left early, saying she was tired and just wants to go home. But she said that after you finish your interview, you should call her," said Donna before totally exiting the door.

"Call her? Hmm, oh well. There's nothing to lose anyway," Addison muttered to herself.

'This is Savvy, and obviously I'm not around so just leave a message after the beep' *beeeeeep*

"Hey Sav, it's me Addie. Uhm, Donna said that you want me to call you after my interview. So, here I am calling you, or rather your voicemail. Anyway, call me back because I am pretty sure you're just around there somewhere," said Addie.

After that, Addison decided to go get some coffee in Starbucks considering that it's just quarter to three and she doesn't need to be ready for at least a few hours before the meeting. So she asked the driver to drop her off at Starbucks. Of course, the driver knows exactly what will happen if he did that especially now that she doesn't have any bodyguards with her.

"Uhm, but Miss Addison you cannot go there with just me as your bodyguard. And it's already afternoon, a lot of students are probably right there now you will be swarmed by people," explained Jerry, her driver.

"Oh, come on Jerry! All I'm asking is just a coffee from Starbucks, if you want you can be the one who will buy it," said the pissed off Addison.

She didn't even notice that while she's muttering and talking, Jerry called someone and asked her if he can drop off Addison at Starbucks. The person from the other line, hung up at him. While Addison was still ranting about it, her phone rang. Without looking who it is, she answered it, expecting it was Savvy.

"Hey, Sav," said Addison.

"You know, this phone is not just for your conversation with your friends. I do call here also, Addison," said Bizzy, Addison's mom.

"Sorry Mom, I'm not really used to you calling me especially at this moment when I didn't do anything wrong. So, why are you calling me?" asked Addison to her mom.

"If you want to have coffee from Starbucks, I'll call the company and tell them to have 3 bodyguards sent there. Or if you don't want bodyguards, you can just make coffee at your house. I gave you two options Addison, it's your decision," said Bizzy, then she hung up after that.

Addison glared at the rearview mirror, while putting her phone back at her bag. Jerry has been her driver since she was a kid, and he gets a good salary. That's why if something bad happens to Addison, he will be fired that's why he called Bizzy.

After that call with her mom, she decided to just head home and sleep her anger off. When they arrived at her house, she went straight to her room locking the door in process. She went inside the bathroom and changed into something more comfortable clothes, and when Addie returned to the bedroom her phone rang, and this time before answering it she looked who's calling her, it flashed a picture of her and Savvy and then followed by her friend's name: Savvy.

"Hey Savvy. So what is it you want to talk to me about?" asked Addison.

"Yeah, about that… Oh, wait I saw the interview Addie. Are you okay? I mean, are you not being a crazy woman there in your house?" joked Savvy.

"Whatever. But you know what is annoying, that damn coffee! I just want some coffee and Jerry decided to call my mom, and of course when my mom heard she gave me two options that doesn't make sense. Aaargh! I hate them," shouted Addison on the phone.

"Yeah, I can feel your anger passing through the phone Add. Haha. Anyway, uhm, about the thing that I need to talk to you about just wait for a few minutes I'll come over there. I need to do it or rather explain in personal. Okay, bye! See you in a few minutes!" said Savvy, then the line went dead.

"Wow, it looks like it's important. What could it be?" Addie muttered to herself.

And true to her word, Savvy arrived at Addison's house about 20 minutes after she hung up on Addie. She parked her car on the garage, greeted some of the maids in Addie's house, went straight to Addison's room and when she was right in front of the door, she took a deep breath and was about to knock when suddenly the door opened which surprised Savvy.

"Okay, that was creepy," stated Savvy.

"In case you didn't notice, it's very quiet here so I heard your car, your footsteps and well you do know that there is a hidden camera in the living room right, so I saw you coming up," explained Addie.

They went to the bed and they sat. It was so silent that they can hear the wind outside. After a few moments of silence, Addison cannot take it anymore so she demanded Savvy to tell her what it is that Addison needs to call her right away after the interview.

"Remember that day when you had your breakdown? Well, I saw this promo in a magazine that was placed in your coffee table and it was kind of open and I got curious so I looked at it. And there I saw promo, a 1-week get away vacation. I think that you just really need a vacation Addie, so I took it. I booked you into a hotel, and uhm, your plane tickets are arranged. Your flight will be tonight at 8:30pm. So here are your tickets, for going there and back here. The number of the hotel is also there, everything is arranged, you see. Here, oh and by the way it's in Seattle. I know you don't like the rain much, but it's a good get-away for you Add," said Savvy while handing the tickets to Addison.

Addison who has been dead silent since Savvy opened her mouth about the vacation, just stared at her friend with her mouth gaping open. When Savvy finished talking and handed her the tickets, she suddenly realized what Savvy did.

"Whaaaaat?! Are you crazy Sav?! I mean, how much is all of these anyway. I know you're also rich but you've never spend too much like this on yourself and you're doing something like this for me, and what? Seattle, Sav I hate the rain, and what's there to see?!" shrieked Addison.

Savvy who has been expecting this outburst from Addison said, "I know, I know you hate the rain but give it a chance Addie. And there are ferry boats there, the Space Needle to. Maybe you'll see something nice there. Take a break Add, just accept my gift. A 'thank you' gift for everything you've done for me," said the smiling Savvy.

Addison thought about it for a moment, staring at the tickets. Then she picked it up, smiled and hugged her best friend while saying, "Thank you Savvy, this means a lot for me."

Then Addison suddenly jumped out of the bed, and started to take out her clothes, shoes and everything else she will need for the trip. She started ranting about, she's not prepared and all that made Savvy laugh, but still she helped Addison packing. When Addison was in the middle of the packing she suddenly remembered that she needs to attend a meeting around 6pm, and the flight is 8:30pm. And usually, the passengers are needed 2 hours earlier for check-in purposes. So she stopped packing and looked at Savvy with a sad smile which Savvy noticed right away.

"What's the problem? Not enough clothes yet?" joked Savvy. But when she got no response from Addison, she went near her.

"I have a meeting tonight, 6pm and I am sure it will not start right away. I will not make it on time for the flight Sav. Thanks a lot for the offer but maybe this means that you are the one who needs a vacation, and maybe I just really need to work. Maybe I'll have my time for vacation," said Addison.

"Come on Addie! Then don't attend the meeting, your manager will probably call you about what happened at the meeting. Don't miss this chance Addie, maybe something great will happen to you," Savvy said.

"You know what, you're right! I think, it's time for the world to see who the real Addison Forbes Montgomery is. If they see me as a perfect woman, well too bad I'm not that much perfect,"

Then they continued packing, when suddenly Addison panicked and went to Savvy's side.

"We have a major problem, Sav,"

"What is it?" asked Savvy

"The first moment I step out on this house, paparazzi will follow me. They will know where I'm going and Jerry will never drive me to the airport. And if I did get out here in New York, what will happen to me in Seattle? People will recognize me there,"

"I figured it out that you will say that, so don't worry I have a solution. Just wear black contact lens and dye your hair blonde. Oh, and go get a tan so at least you skin color changes a little. The dropping you off part, don't worry I'll be the one to do that,"

"Okay… Wait, what?! Blonde?! Are you crazy, Savvy? I won't dye my hair blonde," shrieked Addison.

"Fine, here," Savvy said while throwing her a blonde wig and also the container of the contact lens.

Addison smiled at Savvy's plan then continued on packing. And when she did finish, she went to bathroom to put the wig and the contacts. When she came out of the bathroom, Savvy looked at her and smile. She threw some old clothes to Addison and told her to change to those clothes so she'll look like an ordinary citizen. After all the preparation, Savvy called Weiss, her boyfriend, to come over to Addison's house. When he arrived, Savvy told the plan to him and of course, being a loyal and loveable boyfriend he agreed to everything they've planned.

'Well, this is it. I hope this works, I want to be like me again' thought Addison.
