Wild Eyes (E. Olsen)

Sundays

I sigh in contentment as I swallow my first sip of coffee this Sunday Morning. Sundays are easily my favorite day of the week, I try to take Sundays as a day off from work, social media, and just life in general. I make sure I take the whole entire day for myself and make no plans with anyone else, although sometimes it doesn't always work out that way. But I'll take what I can get. 

I currently have my backyard door open leaving the screen closed to let some fresh air in while I listen to the birds chirping and my record player playing Frank Sinatra in the background. 

Being an actress has always been a dream of mine since I was probably two years old. I remember playing pretend all day every day and the excitement I get whenever I decide to play different characters all around my room was like magic. I attended a bunch of musical theatre classes, drama classes, dance classes, and I remember being so tired from long rehearsals after school but deep down I didn't want it any other way. 

As much as I am living my dream at the moment it's always been obvious that there are a lot of sacrifices that were needed and are need to be made with this type of career choice. To be quite frank, some nights or early mornings should I say, I come home at 4 am from a night shoot to an empty house and the feeling of loneliness and heartache seeps in. 

I had to make the sacrifice of leaving my whole friends and family in Australia to pursue my dream here in LA. I have to be very careful about who I get close to and what are their intentions. I have to be okay with the paparazzi following me around and the lack of privacy that is given to me since I made a choice to be in the public eye. 

Above all that, nothing compares to the wrenching heartache I felt when the news broke out two years ago that my ex and I broke up after three years of being together. I've never seen so much paparazzi up my face and throwing questions at me fully in disregard of my feelings and privacy that I yearned. The breakup was a messy one and that's an understatement and to try to move on from that while being reminded and asked by it every second of every day was a tad too much. 

But enough about that misery, today is a Sunday and I would like to relax and not reminisce on the worse but a few of the best years of my life.

I stroll back into my house taking off my shoes and bringing my groceries to the kitchen. I love strolling around the farmer's market on a Sunday morning, it's so peaceful. 

I do all the chores that need to be done since this week will be the start of my crazy schedule for the next few months yet again. So by the time that I finished putting away my folded laundry, I look at the clock to realize that it's dinner time. 

I go in the kitchen and whip up something quick to eat and pour myself half a glass of red wine to unwind. After a while, I sat in front of my TV catching up on some Game of Thorne episodes while I pour myself my second glass of wine. I was then rudely interrupted when my phone started ringing on my coffee table revealing that I was getting a facetime call from one of my best friends. 

~Facetime~

Me: How rude of you to interrupt me on a Sunday evening MK. 

MK: Oh please, your day was going bland until I blessed you with my company. I playfully roll my eyes at her. 

MK: So, are you excited about your interview with Ellen tomorrow? I smile at her excitement regarding my upcoming interview. 

Me: I think I might just piss myself. I tell her laughing. After 30 minutes of catching up, we start to wrap up the conversation so we can head to bed. 

MK: Seriously though, you need to come and visit Ashley and me soon. We miss your annoying ass. 

Me: It'll be pretty hectic and busy soon but I'll try and fit y'all in my schedule. We blow each other a goodbye kiss and I chug down the remainder of my wine and head to bed.

As I lay down in bed I quickly think over all the places that I have to be at this week and everything I have to do and as much as I know how tiresome it'll end up being, I'm completely excited.

A/N: Hey y'all! I've been thinking about writing lately and I finally made the decision to get started. I'll most likely have another E.Olsen book being published soon just because I have two storylines I'd like to explore. 

This chapter is a bit short and boring but I promise that it'll get better and exciting starting in the next chapter. I hope y'all enjoy this, thank you!
