◦ ◦ Aurora's POV ◦ ◦

It's been a week since Linda and I have gotten the big new about Cayden moving away. Of course we were sad, and we would miss her so much. All of her friends would, Cayden was loved by a lot of people. Cayden had made a fuss that no one else could know because she figured before the day she leaves, people would be really sad and buy her stuff and treat her differently, all that junk. If it were me, I would have said bring on the gifts and free dinners for the month, but I guess that's what made Cayden so special, such a good person. Sometimes I envy her, I look up to her but sometimes I feel like yelling at her, scolding her for not being selfish for once, for not being greedy every once and a while, but I never did.

Linda and I were the type to break promises and that's what we did. We told as many people as we could have about Cayden leaving but we told them to keep it on the down low. Everyone assisted in the organization part of her going away party. We booked part of a hot club downtown just for her. We paid alot of money too, apparently celebrities go there all the time. I'm not being selfish, or at least trying, but I figured I would get the chance to meet some celebs and it could get my acting career really soaring. So all week, everyone's been busy getting ready, buying her Good Bye gifts, I even heard that some of the guys were pitching in for a puppy. We all know about Cayden's dog dying because of a drunk driver, and we all know she misses her pup. Plus, it would keep her company during her journey, I thought it was a fantastic idea. I hadn't decided what I was getting her but I thought about it, and with the money I was going to be handed in the next months, I could buy pretty much anything. That's right, I got the part and I wanted it. I had called Simon back after talking with Cayden and my family and they all thought it was an amazing oppertunity. The coolest part was, today was the day I headed over to get the script and measurements for my costumes and I got to know the other actors and actresses, it was perfect.

I got up really early this morning and brushed my teeth twice, took a long shower, picked out my clothes, did my hair curly at first then switched it to straight and in a ponytail,added cover-up and blush and mascara and lip gloss and a little eyeliner, then I put on my clothes. I wore a cute blue cotton two button quarter sleeve, plaid gray boot-cut trousers and added leopard pointy tow heels, I looked so hot and professional.

My drive down wasn't as loing as I wanted it to be. I was hoping I would be able to calm my nerves just a little but my plan didn't work. The only reason I was nervous was because I was told Samuel Page was playing the married man in the story. I couldn't believe I was acting with him, he is a big star, known to everyone and I was playing by his side, NERVE RACKING!

It was exilerating getting through the gates to the studio but now that I was in the studio, I was just blown away. The building was huge, apparently the beginning of the movie takes place in New York, some of it in a house and the rest on the streets. Afterwards, the whole crew and cast is going down to Hawaii to film, it's going to be so beautiful and insipring, I can't wait! It was so hard to hold back all the squeals stuck in y throat, I felt like just jumping up and down and crying but I had to look professional and ready to work. I walked past some stairs and some rushed people and finally spotted a big muscled man with SECURITY written on his shirt.

"Hi, my name is Aurora Denver." The big guy had to read over the list a few times and finally he saw my name and told me to sign. I felt like I was signing my first autograph, I even put a little start at the end of my bubbly signature. It was really cute, very me! I'm a very bubbly person, but I can be very mean when I want to, almost as if I had a split personality. He told me to follow the red strip on the floor till I see Simon, supposedly he was waiting for me. So, That's what I did, followed the little red line and reached a pair of lofers, till I looked up and realised it was the little old man I met in the bookstore, auditioned in the coffee store for and talked to on the phone.

"Aurora, how are you? Excited? Ready to start this project I hope?" He said all that without taking a breath, and he said it slowly.

"Very ready. What do I need to do?"

"Well, here's your script." He handed me a big stack of white paper with words printed on it, simple but plenty of pages and it was all stapled together. If I held it for too long, I think I would grow a weight lifter's bicep. "You can read through it, but I think Celia over there," He then pointed to a tall skinny woman with a few wrinkles on her face and a bit of sagging skin under her arms, she had long black hair with some gray hanging along her back and she had on the cutest little white dress that showed off her size 2 waist. "She is going to take care of your wardrobe, makeup and hair. In other words, your best friend in the whole building." His big smile was very reassuraing, reminded me of my grandpa's bright, slightly teethless smile, still very inviting.

"Sure, when will I get to meet the rest of the cast?"

That was probably the stupidest question I could have asked, made me look eager to me Samuel Page, made me look like a newbie, very bad. But, I was a smart cookie and used that to my advantage.

"Coming Celia!"

She didn't even call me, I doubt she was even looking at me till I said her name and practically ran over to her. I saw the smallest of an amused smile on Simon's face, which made me laugh a little but I quickly regained posture when I reached the beautiful old lady.

"Celia? Hi, I'm Aurora."

"You're so beautiful. They said you were pretty, but they are wrong," She swirled around me and started flicking my hair and pulling my shirt away from skin. "You are gorgeous. Your short brown hair, we might have to ad a little highlights, nothing to make you look different but to make your hair sort of pop. Your eyes are so green, so glittery and your body! You have a great body, what are you five foot nine? Five foot ten?"

"Five Ten."

"Incredible, you are very pretty, perfect for the role! Have you read the script yet?"

She was still playing with everything on my, I mean everything; hair, face, clothes, feet.

"No, I was about to. You can read it out loud as I get some mesurements, do your hair, all those little things. How does that sound? A little pratice, non?"

She had a french accent, did I forget to mention that? It was very her, very nice on the ears.

"I guess." I got in the spirit after that. "Yeah, that's a fantastic idea."

"Yes! Alright!" She blasted music, not too loud but as background influence, put me in the mood.

She lead me to a sink in a backroom, I sat in the chair infront and places my head in the sink. It was exactly like at the salons, same thing. I had the script in hand and started reading out loud.

By the end of a few hours, I had read through at least half, probably more, and my hair was done. It was still brown only shorter, bob like, almost touched my shoulders. It was completely straight and parted on the side. No bangs either but it did have highlights like Celia promised, they were very little and caramel colored, it looked really good, made my dark brown hair look lighter and warmer. She also took my measurements, I was skinnier then I thought, even better, because I am a very normal eater and I was skinny, who would ask for more!

"I'm done with you, for today anyway. Go have fun!"

I hugged her, she was more of a mother then a best friend, but Simon was right, only mother I was going to have for a while. But I didn't mind, she was really great and she was a very good singer, she could do those high notes better the Beyonce! Or on my scale anyway.

"Thank you, so much. I can't wait till tomorrow!"

"Make sure your finish that script. You will love the ending."

"Okay! I will."

I waved and found my way back to Simon, it took quite a bit of looking but I have a great sense of coordination and found him very quickly.

"I am almost done the script, how do you like the hair?"

I joked around a lot, and that was my only worry.

"Very pretty but I need you to finish reading that script by tomorrow."

"Of course."

"I'm guessing you want to meet some of the cast?"

"Just people in general really."

"Follow me."

He lead me to different places in the big building and I met a lot of people. I met the director, producers, writers, lots of crewmen. Then I was introduced to many small part actors anactresses. Afterwards, it was time to meet the more famous people here.

You wouldn't believe how big this movie was, Anne Hathaway was starring as a best friend and Emily Procter was starring as the wife. Then I saw Samuel chatting with some friends. I have never met so many celebraties, nevermind in the same room! I was freaked and so happy all at once, I held myself back from jumping up and down but I couldn't hold back that stupid grin on my face. It was so big, it touched one ear and then the other, I looked insane. Simon lead me to Emily first, I was glad because I don't think I was able to calm myself enough to meet the famous actor I'll be having an affair with.

"Emily, I would like you to meet Aurora, the star of the movie." He pushed me ahead and I shook the little blonde's petite hand, so fragile and warm.

"So you are the one who got the oh so popular part. Congradulations." She said all of that with a southern accent like I see on TV sometimes, and a bright white smile. She was very small, very petite, it was hard to believe she played a FireArms Expert Cop on a hit drama show.

"Thank you. But I prefer to thing the part got me. Simon here just happened to get a glance at me and thought I would be a perfect 'Jazmine'."

"Well, you sure do look the part! You're exactly how I pictured her. You look familiar… I just can't place you." She squinted, I felt to on the spot, Simon left and Emily and I to get to know each other.

"I've been on a few comercials, a few adds for clothing and makeups."

"Right! That orange juice commercial! I knew I've seen you before. You said commercials and photoshoots, you've never done any TV Shows or Movies?"

"No, none at all."

"And you landed this part, you must be good. Show me what you've got."

"I don't know, I was sort of hoping to take the rest of the time I had left to get to know people, I want to be able to express myself easily and without nerves and I find the only way for me to be completely comfortable with acting like this is to make friends first. Rehearsal starts tomorrow and I have to finish reading the script, get to know people…"

"In other words your to shy?"

"Yeah, that about sums it all up."

She started laughing, I could believe it, I made Emily Procter laugh insanely. Or maybe that's what it seemed like with all the excitement going through my mind.

"That's cute."

Yup, it's the excitement.

"Well, I am going to get going, meet some more people…"

"Why don't I do Simon's job and introduce you to everyone."

After that moment, Emily suddenly became my big sister for the next few months. So I had a mother, a sister, Simon had been very fatherly, what was I missing?

"Anne, this is Aurora, she's th eone that landed the role of 'Jazmine'."

I shook Anne's hand. She had a much stronger grip and her hands were quick, no sensation what so ever. I don't think I go the 'liking' feeling from her. I don't hate her, I just don't adore her like I do Emily and Celia.

"Congatulations are in order. I'm sure if I tried for that part I would have gotten it but you seem to fit the role much better. You look just as I read her."

"Thank you. I'm sure you would have, you're a very talented actress."

I gave a warm smile, she gave me a smirk then walked away.

"I'm sorry, I have to leave, dinner reservations tonight with my manager! See you, girlies!" She waved to us, swining her hips all the way to the doors.

"She's very busy, I've never worked with her but I don't get the friendliest impressions from her."

"Me either." I had to agree with Emily, one hundred percent. We giggled and then she led me to the guy I'm sleeping with on televison; Samuel Page.

"Samuel, I haven't met you either but I'm Emily Procter and this is your affair in the movie, Aurora."

I don't know if it was the excitement in my head again but the smile he shot me was like god calling upon me. I am not a believer in god but I felt like a died but was now on my way to heaven, and heaven was a hot six foot two maybe even four, guy with brilliant brown eyes and an incredible smile.

I guess I was out in a daze because I felt a nudge from Emily to my arm. I snapped out of my little day dream and shook his warm, soft, muscled hand. My knees were about to buckle, I didn't think I could handle working with him, I thought I would screw everything up just because I was doing a scene with him, a love scene!

"Nice to meet you. I thought they were going to pick some stuck up, just like all the other anorexic model types as always. Then I heard about you, I'm glad you got the part, I even heard some rumors about Megan Fox getting the part."

"You don't like her?"

I can't believe those were the first words I ever said to him, I just had to go and screw our friendly relationship already!

"Not at all, I just don't want the movie to be so fake, so hollywood and that's what I think would have happened if her or someone like her would have been picked. Why, do you think I'm wrong?"

He gave me this look, one that said : I'm curious, but I want to pull your strings, why not point the finger at you now!

"Well, I don't regret them picking me. Does that answer your question?"

"To say the least."

"Good."

"Excuse me." Emily said, she ditched me, she said she had a phone call. I didn't hear any ringing! I made it look like I hated him, I really didn't, I just let the words come out with out thinking about them first. Isn't there an expression for that, 'Think about what your going to say before it's said'. Something of the sort anyway.

"Well, I have to finish the script. I better get on my way…"

"It's nice meeting you."

OMIGOD! He said it's nice meeting you! That was the awsomest ever. I guess since we were going to play lovers in the movie, the best thing to do was build a friendly relationship, make things easier.

Afterwards, I left. As I stated to Samuel, I had to finish this script for tomorrow and I had lots left. I said by to Emily before I left, attempted to say by to other actors if they weren't already busy, and said a big thank you to Simon. He told me to stop thanking him, instead he would thank me from now on, see how I liked it. He always made me laugh, great guy. After all that, I found my car and took out my cell. I called my parents and let them know about the good news, then I called Cayden and Linda and told them to come over to my place tonight, big news to bare.

When I got home, I took a shower, made myself a sandwich and flipped through pages in the phonebook. I was looking up talent agency for actors like myself. I thought it was about time that I hire someone to help me with all this. I found the perfect place and right under was the number. I waited a little while till an automated answering system told me to wait and played some waiting music. It took a few minutes but a lady finally came on the other line.

"How may Talent Seeker's help you?"

It was a preppy voice but that wasn't at all what I was thinking about, I was thinking about her question. 'How may Talent Seekers help you?' What other possible answer then I would like an agent to represent me. Oh well, that's what she said and she can't take it back.

"Hi, I am looking for a good agent, or assistant. I have the job but I need someone long term."

"Please hold."

I was starting to get tired of the waiting music, I was put on hold after answering the same questions a couple times. It was the elevator music, the boring music. I am not the type to roam the internet often but I did while I was waiting. I roamed all the lastest celebrity gossip, I even researched a few little things about actors and actresses who are starting their careers, to see if movies like the one I'm starring in will change everything for me.

Finally a male voice came on the line, I was glad, no more stupid secretaries answering. It should be illegal to go from one secretary to the other.

"Hi, so your looking for someone like me?"

"Depends, who are you?"

Not very nice but direct and to the point, very professional. Showed that I didn't want to play any games.

"Jack Gracy. Agent and Assistant to our future famous stars. You were passed onto the best, also most expensive."

"Your perfect, who have you worked with?"

"I got Jack Nicholson's job on the start, up until his third movie. Then he prefered it on his own, don't blame him, look how well he did. I also got Mo Collin's job on MadTV, perfect beause she stayed there for so many years, got paid plenty. I believe that some people have real potential, exceptional talent and those are the people I represent, no one , and I've been assistant to Jennifer Loveuwitt for the pass couple years."

"You've been with a lot of people. What's the catch?"

"Well, like I said, it depends if you have real talent that I can work with. What are the jobs you've done and are currently doing?"

"I've done a few commercials, most people recognize me from the orange juice commercials."

"That's you?"

"Yup."

"Alright, what else?"

"Well, I've also done some photoshoots and I now have the lead role in a movie starring Anne Hathaway, Samuel Page, Emily Procter. It's in the process, I can't remember the name, I could meet with you and show you the script, bring you by the studio…"

"The new movie, you landed a rold in that?"

"Yeah."

"I'll take you on."

"But don't you want to a resume of all the parts I've done, all the photosh-"

"Kid, if you can land a role like that after doing a few commercials and some magazine adds, you've got major talent. Obviously who ever picked you won't pick some one who is terrible, especially when they're job is on the line for taking a chance like that. You've got something in you. What's your name?"

"Aurora Denver."

"Well, Aurora, I will print up a contract and if you could stop by when ever it's possible, I'll be here waiting."

"Alright, well thank you. I'm glad to be in business with you."

"You as well. I'll see you soon."

"Alright, bye!"

Ok, my life was really lining up after all. Except for the fact that Cayden was leaving, but I would be making so much more money in future, I could have bought a house in Miami and lived there, I could have bought a house where ever. But, at that point, the best I could do was spend all the time possible with her.

When the girls got here, I told them about me getting the part in the movie, I also told them about me getting an assistant and me meeting SAMUEL PAGE AND EMILY PROCTER! They were really happy for me, then they started making up some dirty 'What ifs' that could happen between me and Samuel when were in Hawaii. I loved when it was just us girls, having our girl nights. We played poker and crib, agree on what the perfect would be, his best parts and who we should combine to make him. FrankenGuy. Haha. Yeah, that was all before we had some wine and fruity drinks. After our alcoholic drinks, we breakdown to complete sluts and would do some crazy thing or talk about crazy things. Usualy though, we would end the night with a movie then the night would be over. Just like that night.
