Stuck With You

Virgin

I gave a fake smile for the cameras while practically pushing Holly inside the resturant. I pulled her into the restroom trying not to get distracted by the décor. The resturant was extremely classy, almost intimidating. I could not afford to eat in a  place like this.

Steph: What do you mean 'next client'? I'm a no one remember?  I'm staying a D lister.

Holly: Well, yeah, for now we don't want you famous.

Steph: What do you mean, for now? Not for now, forever!

Holly: HA, you want to be Chris Brown's girlfriend and stay out of the public eye? Good luck, you're going to be a A lister in no time. We just need to make you famous on your own terms, doing your own thing. No one wants to be famous for just being a guy's girl friend.

Steph: I don't want to be famous!

Holly: Yeah it doesn't really matter what you say you want. Everyone wants to be famous!

Steph: Holly, I'm serious. Can we just stick to the plan? Please, I just want to be with Chris.

Holly: We are sticking to the plan, my plan anyway. Look, do you want to look desperate for attention? No. That's why you're not wearing red. Plus if you want to be famous I'll make you famous, but you're going to get famous by yourself,  but I refuse to let you sponge off Chris' success. You're not getting famous by being his fling. That's embarrassing.

Steph: Holly, you don't get it. I'm not.. confident and loud and social like you and Chris. I can't do it. I want to stay low.

Holly: Okay, that's fine. You'll get the socially awkward fans that can relate, it's cute. Anyone can get famous with a publicity agent like me.

Steph: Maybe I had other things I want to do in life besides being famous?

Holly: I don't think you're getting it. You can do whatever the hell you want. But with being famous you have fans, people who love you and support you. Eventually you could get money for just showing up to stuff. It's not like some major difference to your life. What were you planning on doing?

Steph: How is having papz following you not going to make a major difference to my everyday life? And I wanted to be a writer.

Holly: that's perfect! After you get famous your book is going to be a best seller, instantly. Or even better, you can be a famous author. The next Picasso.

Steph: Picasso wasn't a... never mind. Why do you want me to be famous so badly?

Holly: I don't really get along with our family members. But you're not like them. I actually like you, you're nice and it'll be nice having you be with me. And if you're famous then they can't-

Chris walks into the bathroom.

Chris: What's going on in here? I've been looking for you two. Holly, don't you have other clients to harass?

Steph: Chris, don't speak to my little sister like that.

Chris' eyes went wide before rolling his eyes and walking out, mumbling I was just trying to help. Holly began laughing.

Holly: Oh, you're definitely my favorite sister. Dad's going to like- actually the whole family is going to love having you for Christmas dinner.

Steph drops her mouth a little, she stands in shook. Holly walks out of the bathroom, right behind Chris, leaving Stephanie alone with her thoughts.

 Stephanie: I'm going to be famous.. have multiple sisters.. and a dad.. and a boyfriend.. and we're having a Christmas dinner. What the hell happened to my life this month?
