BUBBLE GUM!
┍━━━━━━━━━━━»•» 𝓬𝓸𝔃𝓶𝓲𝓺𝓾𝓮 «•«━━━┑

I SAT STARRING out the window of the moving vehicle when my phone buzzed slightly I looked at the screen seeing my agent, Maeve, calling me. I clicked answer holding the phone to my ear.

"Hello"

"Tori, I have some great news! You know the role for the new hbo show we applied you for. Well you got a call back, they'd like you to do a chemistry read with another actor!"

"Oh my God no way, that is good news, I can't wait!"

Maeve laughed through the phone at my excitement. "I'll message you and your assistant the details," I nodded "Okay I have to run but I just wanted to let you know, bye tori"

"Bye Maeve" I smiled hanging up the phone I looked up smiling at Vince, my family's driver, "I got a call back!" I smiled gushing, he smiled back and congratulated me.

I hadn't gotten the role yet, it was likely that it would depend on the chemistry reading. I wasn't too nervous thinking about it, I just hoped whoever I'm doing the reading with is a nice person.

I scrolled through my phone going to tell my family on the good news. I hope I would be home soon, the heat in the car wasn't doing much to fight of the cool winter air of London.

I'd recently came back to London, it's where I'd grown up before my parents took me and my sisters to the States when we were younger. London was nostalgic for me, I could hardly remember it beside the few holidays I've had here over the years. My parents had been working here at the university for a few years and I missed them while they were away. However me and my sisters lived in LA. I had been in London since I finished my last project, that was 2 months ago, I felt I needed a short break and to see how my parents were doing.

I had recently broken up with my very public partner Matteo and to be honest whilst my sisters we good at cheering me up what I needed right now was my mom. My mother Lorelei Presley-Clover was an astounding woman, she used to be a producer and director back in the 90s but decided to settle down when she met my dad, here in London — that's why London is my middle name, after the place the fell in love. Both my mom and dad were professors at the University of London, so it was difficult for them to get time off to come see us in LA, so I decided I'd go to them instead.

"Thanks Vince" I spoke as I prepared to face the blistering winter of London.

I quickly raced inside to go deliver the news to my parents, and to tell them I'd have to head back to LA in the next couple of days. Which honesty I wasn't prepared for.

It had been a few days since I had told my parents that I'd been going back to LA. I had caught a late night flight and would be arriving shortly. I preferred to catch night-time flights so I could sleep for most of it, and to avoid large crowds. I looked out the window and observed the dark clouds, I couldn't see much but it brought me a sense of peace to be in the clouds.

A voice came over the speaker announcing that we'd be landing soon and to put our seatbelts back on.

I was excited to be back in Los Angeles, bur nervous at the same time.
