- Today was the day my career changed forever, I woke up at 3 AM to get ready and still have enough time to get to the airport and board.
I took a shower, did my morning skincare to get ready for makeup as soon as I get to the shoot. It's been a month and I still had no idea who the shoot was for but a part of me was excited to see for myself.
I grabbed my luggage and rushed out of my apartment, I lived in Miami and although it was a broad area I couldn't imagine being in a place as big as LA. This would be my first time visiting but hopefully not my last.
Within 30 minutes I arrived at the airport and prepared myself for a life changing trip.
I took a quick picture for my Instagram and soon drifted to sleep.
5 hours to go.

* Lucia arrives in LA
I slept through most of my flight. The last hour I had a hard time adapting to the fact someone's toddler was screaming bloody murder. It's at times like this I'm glad I'm a lesbian.
I made my way to baggage claim and soon after my phone regained connection , I received a text message from Jade.

Jade Hey Lucia, I saw your story and I hope you have a good trip. Please be safe.
My heart sunk, it's times like this I truly miss her. I miss who she was before the trauma and addiction. The last few months of our relationship was hell on earth. I genuinely was at my lowest and to think she put me there feels like betrayal.
I decided not to answer her at the moment and continue to make my way to the shoot.
Please let this be a good thing.
The company paid for me to have a concierge and I think that was the start of my " I made it " moment but at the same time I've only been modeling for 4 months.
Jade hated it, she was insecure and couldn't deal with me being in the public eye. I'll never understand why. I was her biggest fan when it came to music. I brang out a confidence in her while she pushed me into a box. I think that's another reason I had to leave.
We soon arrived to a small warehouse looking building, a gentleman who looked of importance opened the door for me and welcomed me to the shoot.
