New life means a new beginning. A new beginning means a fresh start. You can't erase what have happened in the past. All you need to do is to forget. Wipe those tears, fake a smile, rise up and dominate the world.

Anonymous P.O.V.

I opened my dressing room window and inhaled some fresh morning air. Waking up really early just to see the sunrise. I could do this everyday if I was allowed to. The air is surprisingly cooler today. I must admit, whenever I inhale the beautiful morning breeze here, it's like I'm all alone in my own world.

This is a new day. Something amazing will happen today.

*Knock. Knock.*

"May I come in, Miss Hastings?" a familiar voice startled me. I closed one of the windows and let the other one open so that I can have a little bit of ventilation in the room.

"Please do!" I yelled at the door and my director was there with a clipboard on his hands. At this early in the morning? But, yeah. It's work.

"Good morning, Monique. Slept well I see?" he asked me with a huge grin on his face. He was wearing a plaid button down tucked in his light denim pants. He was fifty-three, but looking like in his forties.

"Yes, Kenny. Therapy's working well for me. If only I do it everyday..." I replied to the director. It really was helping me. Therapy is like a drug now to me...in the best way possible of course.

"That's good to hear! Now, if you'll just sign these..." he showed me a few papers that were all different contracts and application forms.

I looked through page after page, and they were all lacking my signature. "Uh, Mr. Martin, what are these?" I asked him. These are a lot of contracts and forms! Page after page after page!

He handed me a pen as he chuckled. "These contracts...are your debut seasons." he smirked at me.

My eyes widen. He's joking isn't he? Tell me he is. "Oh my gosh! Are these for real?!" I grabbed the pen.

He chuckles and shakes his head. "Of course! You deserve them Now will you sign them?"

"Of course!" I signed on each one. There were three contracts. Three seasons! How great is that?! "And these application forms are?"

"These are for your next auditions. Some companies are already asking for you to audition for them. I know you declined way before, but maybe after seeing you being the understudy Sandy made them think about it. I mean, when Sarah was in London, you replaced her for the rest of the season..."

"...you're right. Maybe they did watch my performance." I fell silent and just got the application forms. "Thanks, Kenny. I'll just fill 'em up in time for the recording. Anne will see you out!" I yelled the last part for Anne to hear.

Anne is my manager slash P.A. number one. She came in and said hi to Kenny. She seems too giddy this morning.

"Thanks, Kenny...for everything." I sat down on my black director's chair and looked at him through the reflection of the mirror.
