Chapter 7:

“Hey, JJ, how’ve you been?  When was it, ninth grade?  Such a long time.”  Hollywood’s golden boy Alex Ahlbrand told me, mocking me in a terrible, terrible way.  I instantly felt as though my body was being attacked by a jackhammer.  He had been my   one true love until he had broken my heart.  He had moved away to go star in a new Broadway musical, because he was just so incredibly talented.  Alex told me how stupid and worthless I truly was, and then left me the next day.

I was a person who never payed attention to what other’s thought of me.  But not after he left me.  Soon, I felt everyone’s eyes on me, judging me whenever I dared to go in public.  Eventually that feeling wore off, but I still couldn’t help but feel overwhelmingly ugly the moment he approached me, with his new, signature smile blasted on full as he taunted me.  I realized something that moment.  I realized that I have, and always will, continued to love him, no matter how mean he was and how much he broke my heart, over and over again.

And now Alex’s face was plastered all over every television screen, every billboard, and every movie screen worldwide, which only rubbed salt in my open wound.    I couldn’t help but see him over and over and over and over and over again.  Ever since he left me, I had felt self-conscious about myself, and he was most of the reason why I felt that I was no longer worth being a model at all.  

“Hello, Alex.  Nice to see you again.  Haven’t seen you since you heartlessly crushed me and left me broken and crushed.  Well, how could I avoid seeing you.  I guess I should say that YOU haven’t seen ME since you left.  No card on my birthday or anything.”  I stormed bitterly, knowing as I spoke to him that it was probably one of the worst comebacks existing in the whole world.  Bitterness tends to have a great opportunity to grow when you are left by the one that you though that you were in love with, and may still possibly maybe be in love with.  Okay, so what?  

Don’t judge me until you know more about him.  He is probably the most attractive person alive.  He had now taken all of America, and several other countries, by storm.  

“Oh, I see you have met one of our company’s most famous model.  If you end up continuing your modeling career, you may end up doing a group shoot with this fella.  Oh, let me introduce myself.  My name is Francis Holliem, and I am going to be your photographer today.  So go on, shoo!  You need to be out of makeup by 5:00 at least, so hurry up!”  

I tipped my imaginary hat to Alex, trying with every ounce of my fiber not to haul out and wack him across the face.  He winked at me, and I was shocked.  How did he manage to still be so cocky after what he did to me?  I brushed past him in the doorframe.

I could already tell that this man was going to be an interesting part of my life if I did continue modeling.   His words had also disconcerted me, however, by reminding me that there was always a possibility that I would fail, which would ruin my life both socially and mentally.  

I was rushed into the hair and makeup section of the big room set apart for this shoot.  I found that modeling took a lot more people than the model, as there were ten or fifteen other people besides the ones that I knew would be there.  Two women stripped me of my clothes and then forcibly changed me into a long dress which I was going to be modeling in.  The dress was long and flowing, and it clung tightly in all of the right places.  It almost reminded me of autumn, with all of the various warm colors and soft, plush-like material.  I fingered it for a while until I was rudely shoved along to the next station.
