*backstory* you are 16, in an abusive household, and you were able to audition and get on set of abbott elementary. as one of  melissa's neices , who makes a continuous role in future episodes . you and lisa end up bonding, and she tries to help you. TW for mentions of sa and verbal abuse this chapter *
it's 3 am, time to start my official first day of filming abbott.
my parents have been shaming me recently , for my body weight, and being in hollywood it makes me feel even worse now.
so i'm going to workout really quickly , so i can look skinny for set. and so i don't get yelled at.
and , well , touched.
my favorite cast has been abbott for a very long time, and i'm so excited that i was actually hired. that happiness has been able to motivate me to workout this early, something i would rather jump off a cliff then do. i know the casting director has already seen me, and the cast already knows about me, but i wanna make a good impression today. i know im supposed to be , like , professional, but i'm such a big fan, im not sure how that's gonna work out . hopefully , i can compose myself .
lisa is my favorite actor of the cast. she's just so sweet . i mean, they all are. but lisa is an angel. she's been my only comfort in the darkest of times.
maybe i can tell her that . although, i'm not sure how she will react. i hope she will like me.
im working out, to dance cardio music, when my alarm goes off, at 3:20.
i worked out for 20 minutes, because i needed at least some sleep. i fell asleep at 12, reluctantly, because my nerves were so bad, and still are. maybe even worse because im gonna be there so soon now.
i hear my dad groan, and yell "turn that off right now !! you're gonna wake up your mother." i hear him walking violently up the stairs, to my room, and start to panic .
he's touched me , innapropiately, a lot of times. too many times.
i get scared now , whenever i'm alone with him, because of that. i can't wait to escape with the set.
he comes up to me, and i've frozen. he says to me "you've gained weight. don't you want to be my healthy little girl again? especially for your little acting gig. " he fondles my boobs. i'm still frozen. he let's go. "i- i better go." i say. "i gotta .. get to set ."
"wait a minute now, don't you need me to drive you?"
"no, i can just run there. it's only a few minutes away from the hotel. "
"okay.."he says, annoyed.
"at least you'll burn off all that extra fat."
i message quinta , the only cast member who's number i have so far.
"im gonna be there a bit early, if that's okay! idk if the doors will be unlocked, but i'll be there in like 15 minutes."
"ooh that's totally okay!most of us are there before we start filming, don't worry about it. we can show you around set. whatever you want to see. we enjoy showing in new cast members :)"
oh my god. oh my god it's really happening. ahhh i can't believe it. im on stan twt , and i haven't been active or talked abt it because i'm not sure if i should yet. i don't want to spoil the surprise, yk? it's not like i've shown my face on there before, so i might retweet the teaser clip from the official abbot elementary abc page the week before the episode comes out, but not say anything abt it being me, except for on my professional account of course.
all i know is , they're gonna be so happy . they always wanted melissa family content, idk why it's their favorite thing. i hope i don't disappoint them. and i hope that this job really is the escapism that i need.
