Payson a 22 year old waitress who's trying to make an earning to pay bills, an apartment, to keep her car running and to pay for groceries. She had to drop out of college because she couldn't afford it, but didn't want to move back with her dad know...
Today is is the day where I have a meeting for my book. I still can't believe Damon forwarded my book. The past few days or even a week I've been thinking about what happened. I just don't know, don't get me wrong I miss him, but I don't think I can go back though.
I'm in my bathroom putting on light makeup for my meeting. I got to keep my outfits I wore with Damon which was kind of my stylist, well old stylist. I decided to go with a black jump suit with heels.

Once I put my outfit on, I decided do my hair in curls with Taylor's help.
After a while I finally finished and grabbed my purse. "Good luck tell me how it goes after" Taylor says. I wave bye and walk out the door. I went to my Jeep and got directions to the publishers office. I drove there and my radio was on. "Up next a song everyone loves but, is it really about his ex that he cheated on?" The radio host said. Then it comes on. Damon's song. The one he sang to me at his concert. There saying he's cheated on me?, I haven't looked at my social media at all or the news or celebrity news. I just needed to shut it out. I turned down the radio and just drive, I don't want to listen, I don't want to be sad. But then again, I'm going to a meeting that Damon set up. I take a breath and just quiet my mind and just listen to the GPS.
Eventually I got there and grab my purse and put my phone in my purse then got out of my jeep.
I walked in and walked to the front desk. "I'm here for a meeting with Mr.Ambrose" I told the lady at the front desk. "Yes you can head to the third floor and he will be right there" "Thank you" I walk to the elevator and push the third floor button and wait. Once it opens to the third floor I see and middle aged man with brown hair a bit of grays, he's tall and fit with brown eyes. "Payson, very nice to meet you, I'm Mr.Ambrose" "Good evening, you as well" "Come lets go in my office and talk" I follow him in a big office with a desk and two chairs in front of the desk, and a book shelf, on the desk had a computer and papers. He sits in his chair behind the desk and I sit in the chair in front of the desk. "Damon sent me your book, he said you have never put your writings out there and he thought it was amazing so he gave it to me" I nod, I guess Damon's been with me through some of the biggest things in life. "I read it and I loved it Payson, I don't know why you haven't put your work out before but I'm glad Damon pushes you because I loved it" "Wow thank you this means a lot" "So I want this and I want it published" My mouth drops, I smile so big and say "are you serious?" "Yes Payson, so in one week I want you to fly to New York it's all prepaid hotel, food, airfare, everything, and let's get this published in my second office" "I don't know what to say Mr. Ambrose" "Say yes Payson" "Yes I agree" "Great so I'll email the publishers in New York, lets get this in and we'll keep in touch" "Thank you so much this means a lot" "No problem Payson, have a great rest of your day" I smile and get up and leave.
Once I get out to my Jeep, I call Taylor. After a few rings she answers "So what happened" is the first thing that came out of her mouth. "I'm going to New York next week, they want to publish me" "Ahhhh yes girl" she yells in my ear. "I just can't believe it" "Payson, this wouldn't of been possible without Damon" Here we go again with him. There both right but I just, I sigh and say "Yeah I know" "Are you going to tell him?" "I don't know" "Maybe Mr. Ambrose will tell him so you don't have to" "Maybe" "I'll let you drive home, I'm waiting at your apartment for you" "See you then" I hang up and drive home in silence. Damon did help me get out of my comfort zone, this new beauty never would've happened before he came along. I would've never shared my writings to the world, or wore half the things I have now, I never would've pictured me modeling before, or go to an award show. I sigh and park my car. I walk to my apartment and when I unlock the door I see Victoria. "Victoria what are you doing here?" She hugged me and said "I herd your getting published" "How?" "Your friend" I shake my head and hug her back. "Congrats now lets go celebrate" Victoria says. "Yes let's" Taylor chimes in. "Girls no come on it's ok" "We're going out" they both say. "Ok, ok where?" They both look at each other and smirk. Uh oh this looks like something that I either 1. Won't enjoy or 2. Out of my comfort zone or 3. Both They dragged me to the bathroom and did my makeup well touched it up and added eyeshadow and fake lashes? I never used them in my life, lipstick of red. And they touched up my hair a bit and put glossy shine in my hair which added a nice shine and touch. Then I had to put on a black dress with tie straps and pockets. It's actually very pretty, with black heels.

The two girls get dressed. Victoria wears a red dress and Taylor wears a blue dress. They both don't tell me where we're going, we go out into Victoria's car and drive off. "Why can't you girls just tell me where we're going?" "Because you would refuse to go" "In this? I don't know it's kinda fancy" "Exactly" Victoria says. Victoria turns up the music and 'Welcome to New York' by a Taylor Swift plays. This song is so relatable. We all sing while driving to wherever we're going. We're finally here and Victoria parked the car. We all got out and headed inside. "Are we at a bar?" I ask. The girls both laugh and say "no" I looked at them confused and they both said "just come on" They both grabbed onto each of my hand and we went into the building and I hear "Congrats Payson" I look around and see my two stylist, I see Niki, some other celebs, but no Damon in sight, I do see Carter though. My hand goes over my mouth and I hug Taylor and Victoria and day "thank you" "You deserve it" Victoria said. "Let's party" Taylor says and we all dance, eat and have a great time. I was by the drinks talking with Taylor when I hear. "Payson" I turn and it's Carter. "Hi Carter" "Hi, I just wanted to say congrats and Payson I knew you and Damon were you know" "Taylor I'll catch up later" I pull Carter outside and say "what now" "I knew you and Damon were fake dating" "How?" "I know Damon better than anyone and everything, I just had to play it like I knew it was fake when in reality it wasn't" "So does that mean?.." "Victoria? Oh no she doesn't know until now Damon told her after what happened" I nod and say "well thank you for telling me" "But I do know Payson Damon has feelings for you, all the songs, there about you on his next album, he doesn't admit it but I know they are, I haven't seen him write like this in a long time, Payson he loves you and I know it's a mess now but believe me, Damon would've never helped anyone like you, especially like this, Payson he believed in you and actually took action for the one he loves" I soak in his words and nod and say "well if you could tell him thank you and I got the deal" He nods and I turn to go back in and I go into the rest of the party like nothing happened and finished out the night just pushing my emotions and my thoughts down deep and finish out the party.
I finally get home after midnight with Victoria and Taylor and we all sleep, Victoria and Taylor on the couch and I crash on my bed and fall asleep right away with my dress still on but I took my heels off, I don't get how women can wear these all the time, they hurt like heck being in them for hours on end.
