CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“Those assholes wouldn’t know good acting if it smacked them right in the face.”

I snort, some of the tea I was sipping shooting out of my nose and all down the front of me. It burns like a motherfucker, but I can’t be mad. Judy K just managed to take the last two days of disappointment and heartbreak and vanquish them with one sentence.

“Assholes, huh? Gosh, Judy K. What would the Actors Guild think of their beloved golden girl using such language?”

“Actors Guild, my old, wrinkly ass. You think I give a shit what those old farts say about me? I didn’t care then, and I sure as shit don’t care now.”

I double over, my breath coming in gasps as I laugh. “Judy, I’ve never seen this side of you before. I have to say, I like it.”

She waves me off. “When you’ve seen all the things I’ve seen, you earn the right to say a few curse words every now and again. And, when I hear you’ve been passed over for yet another little rich kid who’s no doubt riding on their daddy or mommy’s coattails, it makes the redhead in me come out to play.”

Well, now that I know this spitfire exists, you can be sure I’m going to try my damnedest to make sure she gets as much action as possible. Judy K is amazing all the time. But Judy K pissed off and on the defensive? Nothing sort of sheer epicness.

I’ve always thought I had at least a little talent, regardless of how down in the dumps I’ve been the past few days. But hearing a legend like Judy K tell me I remind her of a young James Dean? It gives a nice boost to the old ego.

By the time my tea and cookies are finished—living across the hall from an old lady definitely has its perks, especially considering how Judy K can bake—all the doubt and fear I was feeling since getting that rejection call three days ago is gone. I can’t give up now. Not when I’ve worked this hard. And when I’m so close. That was the first audition I felt really good about. Having more confidence in myself is sure to shine through in my next one. It’s only a matter of time before someone sees my potential and gives me a job. And then all these sad and unfulfilling days will be a thing of the past. A distant memory I’ll look back on and smile.

Besides, if I cut and run now, I’ll never get a chance to get to know Barker better. No—Jaden. It’s going to take some getting used to, calling him by his first name. He’s been Barker to me for as long as I’ve known him. But knowing he
