Chapter 6
"There is your latte." The man says handling me the cup as Jennifer and I walk together by the streets in direction to the beach.
"This coffee is actually pretty god." She tells me and I nod because it was true and one more thing to add at the long list of things that are better in Los Angeles then Lima.
"Are you going?" I ask her Jennifer since she still as not told me if she was going to the Golden Globes this Sunday. I really wanted her to come because that would mean a girl around my age that I actually know.
"I decide that I am going. That way we can have or first time at the globes together."
"You're the best." I say hugging her and we sit in front of the beach enjoying the view. "This is what Lima doesn't have that I wish it did."
"A beach?"
"Yep. We don't have lake either. It's nice to catch some sun."
"And it's good to run."
"Almost every place it's good to run." Jennifer and I just know each other for not more than a couple of weeks but we look like best friends who know each other for years. We both came here young, wanting to be actresses. We both wanted to get out of high school and we also leave alone. So we spend a lot of time together and every day we go run in the morning.
"So did you write the speech?" She asks me and we both laugh. We were very different also, I am more organized and everything planed out weeks or months before I do it. Jen on the other hand is more into the moment, more spontaneous, she lives day by day.
"I have the speech written since I was seven. Now truly speaking I don't stand I change against Natalie Portman her performance was incredible."
"I liked the film a lot. Even if am not the greatest dancer." She tells me and I laugh at the face she does once she says dance. She ends up laughing too. She has, what we like to call, a coordination problem.
"I am kind of scared about it." I confess to her and she looks at me with a trusty look. "I am not good at making friends remember, people don't tend to like me."
"Well I am your friend, you caught me."
"Yes but I wasn't trying it just happen and you had it easy."
"Just pretend that you are talking to me or one of your friends from Lima besides I will be there for you we can get star truck together but you are you talking to the globes?"
"You." I tell her half-joking but also half seriously, I mean my list isn't very long and we will kind of be together.
"It will be my honor."
"You're joking?"
"Actually no, let's go. It will be more fun, besides we are almost going together anyway."
We stay for a few more time telling each other stories and memories and once it was almost time to sunset we went back home. Jen took me to my house since it was the closer one and as we said goodbye she told me.
"I will see you Sunday at the red carpet. I will try to be there in the first 30 minutes."
"Yes, we text each other when we are leaving the house and the first one to get their texts the other and waits in the car line for the other."
"Deal. See you Sunday Rach."
"You too Jen.
I look over at myself as the hairdresser finished the last details and I look over at my hair and my dramatic gown as I take pictures and send it to Kurt and as I turn the Skype he is already there.
"You look amazing I approve." He tells me clapping his hands.
"She has an amazing hair." The hairdresser, Tomas tells Kurt.
"I know. Now what are you wearing?" Kurt asks me and I roll my eyes. "You need to remember, it is going to be the question people will ask you the most."
"Oscar de La Renta shoes, Chopard earrings and I forgot."
"Fendi bag and Saint Laurent shoes. Now say it again." Kurt says and I smile at my best friend craziness.
I'm here.
I receive Jen text as I was about to get out of the car. So I take a deep breath. Ok Rachel you seen this awards since you remember, just smile. The car door opens and I am taken by the pictures, the cameras and everyone. I tried to look around to find Jen and after some time and some people pulling me to here I was supposed to go I find her and I try to meet up with her as faster this damn shoes would let me.
"Thank god I see you."
"The same." She says and I can see she is nervous just like me then I noticed we are both wearing black dresses.
"We even have the dress color."
"And wearing." She tells me and we look at everyone moving as we both just stay there.
"Ready?"
"Do you even now where we are supposed to go?" She asks me and I say a no as she puts her hands on her face. "Great."
"Come on someone will tell us." I say pulling her arm around mine.
Unfortunately as soon as we were in the interviews are I had lost Jennifer. I notice someone pulling me to an interview.
"Hello. Rachel Berry, golden globes nominee for leading actress in a drama picture. You look amazing." The woman tells me.
"Wow, thank you."
"So what are you wearing?"
"Oscar the La Renta."
"Who does it feels to be a new comer and be in here, you're pretty young."
"It's fells good. I mean it's a little nervous but it's nice."
"You received the rising start awards at the Palm Springs Festival how does that feels?"
"So not expected, I hope to raise more. I think." I say with a confuse face that apparently made her laugh a little bit. "But yes. Wow I don't feel much more nervous now."
"Where you nervous?"
"Of course." I tell her like she was crazy wasn't she seeing what was around us? "I never expected to be so big; I should have brought smaller hells."
"Yes the carpet is big."
"It looked smaller at home."
"Well congratulation on the nominee."
"Thank you."
The rest of the interviews are all the same and I was more than happy to see her as we both look for our table. As the first break took I notice Jen pushing my dress as I turn. Her table was next to mine so we sit the closest as possible.
"I need to go to the ladies room?" She asks me and I look at her confuse. "Come with me please." She gives me the puppy look and I agree with her.
As we got to the bathroom I waited for Jen as I put my lip gloss and I saw Emma Stone getting in.
"Hi." She tells me as she herself takes the gloss then she turns to me. "I'm Emma."
"Rachel."
"I know I saw your movie you were amazing." She tells me and I blink did I just hear that.
"Thanks. I laugh so much in Easy A. Especially the shower scene it was amazing."
"Thank you." She tells me with a smile. "I should probably go, good luck."
"For you too." I tell her and a couple of seconds after Jen came and I turned to her. "You don't imagine. I just meet Emma Stone."
"God I loved her in Zombieland."
"I actually never saw it." I say and her eyes got big.
"We are so seeing it tomorrow." She tells me as we both walk out of the bathroom sitting in our chairs.
"Rachel, look at the seconds table." Jen whispers to me and I see Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and I almost feel over the chair.
"She looks even more beautiful."
"I know." She tells me and I see that someone is about to come to stage so I turn back to the stage.
The rest of the award show was more relax I talk with my director as he was also present and I try to not geek out as Jen and I keep each other from doing it so we end up not talking to most people, or anyone. Once we got to my apartment Jen catch in it as we both felt asleep.
"That was go good." I tell her as we finish eating the popcorn as the credit of Zombieland appears as we both relax in my bed.
"I told you so."
"Never expected it too."
"I never expected to love Funny Girl when you show it to me last night but I totally did. By the way how can I know you for this long and not know you were a hell of a singer."
"I don't know, I am constantly singing but you are good too."
"I am not like you. Thinking better, there is no one like you."
"By that way what do you want for dinner?"
