Chapter 9

Autumn had arrived, and so had my two-week vacation to Los Angeles. Three months had passed since Christoff and I officially said goodbye to each other at Lake Michigan. I was taking this time to decompress and really start over. I decided to catch up with Amber and some of my other friends in the industry. Tonight I was out with Amber’s circle. Amber’s life is even busier than mine, so it was nothing short of a miracle that we were able to sync up our schedules and get some face time together. It was October, and I was glad to be able to take a break, escape to somewhere warm, and catch up with those close to me. I was excited to make some new connections as well.

I had such a busy summer, including my big interview with Christoff. Despite everything that happened between us, I was still quite pleased that my article got chosen by my editor as a cover story. I also had several other career-related home runs throughout the summer. Score! I was moving up in the world. But I knew better than anyone that in this industry, regardless of your work ethic and talent, one misstep can rob you of your status almost overnight. I’ll be forever humbled by the memory of how I almost destroyed my career, back when I was seeing that B-list actor. I hate to relive that incident, but every time I come back to L.A. I get chills, thinking about the way he threw me under the bus to avoid the wrath of his hotshot producer father-in-law-to-be. Sometimes I feel like I still have a scarlet letter engraved on my chest from that indiscretion long ago. I’ve done a pretty decent job rebuilding my reputation and getting closer to my goal of having my own entertainment news show, or at least landing a music industry correspondent gig, but deep inside I’m still haunted by my family’s incessant accusations that I’m just a starstruck groupie, and not a real journalist. Although I try to stay professional, I’ve somehow seemed to prove them right on multiple occasions in the past. But all I can do is move forward. It’s very true what they say, it’s not always what you know, but who you know. Well that’s partially true. I know some big names and I also have talent, but it takes a special stroke of luck to really make it in entertainment journalism. And sometimes luck is just simply not on my side.

I promised myself I wouldn’t worry about work while on vacation. My big goal while I was here was simply to enjoy being in one of my favorite places, Los Angeles, California, with my favorite people — Amber, and her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Peyton, who was a successful producer. And as a welcomed bonus, a few of their reality show friends, Clarissa, Brandon and Andre, were there too. I’d hung out with all three of them a few times before, but it had been a long time since I’d seen them.
