Life was always crazy, ups and downs.
I had given up on my silly dreams, when I was
called to an audition.
It was a lead role, for a general.
They wanted a girl who could fight, not a
body double.
I was the girl for the job.
On the day we started shooting, I saw Chase
was in it too.
He had agreed to be the second, just to be
with me.
He didn’t want me to think I was there
because of him, so he had waited until I was
hired, to say he wanted to be the male lead.
In the show, he was a spoiled guy, who got
pushed around by the girl.
The crew was worried we would be too lovey,
and the show wouldn’t work.
Г
Chase had said, “I’m beaten at home
everyday, pick me, I’m perfect.”
And, he got the job.
When we were shooting, Chase was so good
at making me want to beat him up. And the
love scenes went so well because of it.
When it was out, people said, “This is the only
job that Chase didn’t have to act. He was just
being himself.”
I won the award for best actress because of
the show.
When I was talking, I saw him, watching me
and being so proud.
I smiled.
“Thank you, Mr. Sterling. In my darkest times,
you shined like a star.”
He said that Alex was a coward, but he would
love her.
And I wanted to say, that Alex had never
stopped, and was always coming for him.
I knew that on that day, when I had seen Mrs.
Thompson, that she was his mom.
So, even though being a girlfriend for hire
was crazy, I still had to go and meet him.
The mountains might be hard to climb, but
the stars always led the way.
