Thursday was the day I dreaded the most. It was only 2 days away but yet it seemed so much closer. It was the day I’d find out if I finally booked the role for the new movie coming out. Layla my best friend and agent convinced me to audition so I’d get good exposure to the world.
They were also shooting the movie closer to home and Mum was always telling me to come home and visit, telling me I work to hard but that’s what you have to do when you’re a model and actor. You always have a full schedule.
I looked at my watch knowing that I’d have my call with Layla soon to check up on my schedule. I’m lucky she’s my best friend because she’s known everything about me since we were 5 years old and she knows exactly how I like things and what will me the fame and success I need.
That when the phone rang and I picked it up.
“Layla, how have you been, I’ve missed you,” I excitedly said into the phone.
“Haha yeah yeah I know. It’s been what a day since we last talked, come on babe I live less than 15 minutes away.” She said sarcastically into the phone. “Why don’t you just bring your lazy ass over here.”
“To much work,” I said complaining “Can’t you just come live with me?”
“I wish babe, but no Milo needs me. Speaking of Milo I’ve got to go so I’ll call you back later. Okay bye love you.” She said as she hung up filling the room with silence again.
After she hung up I sat up from where I was lying on my bed and looked over at the picture of mum and dad I had on my bedside table. They looked happy. Just like they did right before I said goodbye to them before moving Brisbane. It had always been the three of us after Georgia passed. She was my best friends before Layla.
There were times we didn’t get along but I always loved her. Just thinking of her brought tears to my eyes. She had died in a car accident on the way to see me. I had told her how much I missed her and we were on the phone when I heard swerving and a crash . I then heard her scream and tell me she would never forget me and she was sorry. Till this day I never knew why she was sorry, it was a thought that crossed my mind all the time.
