Our Only Hope

Chapter One

Stella's POV-

"Good show Ms. Bell!!" said the stage manager with a smile.

I have been working in the Broadway business for quite a while now, but I still haven't got used to the fact that people behind stage still appreciate my acting.

I smiled and said "Thank You" I went to my dressing room and tried to take off my costume, but of course, the zipper got stuck. I really hate this zipper.

"May I come in?" said someone behind the door.

"Suzanne is that you? If it is please come in, I need help with something." I said in a hopeful voice.

Suzanne opened the door and I saw her trying not to laugh at me. Suzanne has been my best friend and roommate ever since I can remember. When I got accepted here for acting I brought Suzanne with me and, they said it was okay for her to work here with me. I and Suzanne are the same height and age. She has Short black hair and black eyes. She likes to keep her hair in a bun and wears black glasses. She always looks great and today she was actually wearing a spring dress with red flowers.

"So you going to help me or not?" I said while still trying to fight with the zipper.

"Yeah, Yeah!! So....how are you? I haven't seen all day." She said with a cheerful smile.

"I'm okay and I am so sorry, it's just that I was kind of late and you know have to get ready for my character. How about we...." I was cut off by a woman who just barged into my dressing room and I was not surprised by who it was.

"Stella my STAR!!! Another great show darling! Oh, and hello Suzani!! Suzani dear, would you please bring me a cup of coffee just how I like it!! Thanks love!!" Isabella said with her British accent.

Isabella Blake the manager of this production. She has bright blonde hair and sky blue eyes. She is very strict but, once you get to know her well, she is actually pretty nice. She has treated me and Suzanne very well. Suzanne didn't like to get called "Suzani" at first but, she got used to it. Suzanne nodded and went to get Isabella her coffee.

I noticed that that Ms. Blake was biting her nails and she only does this when she is nervous.

"Is something wrong Ms. Blake? I see you are a little uncomfortable." I stated

"Actually, there is..." It looks like she was debating whether or not to mention what was going on, finally she did. "You see darling I... Like this guy and we have been seeing each other since we met and I want to know if he thinks of me more than a friend... So would you give me some advice?" She looked at me with a hopeful look. I mean, what can she expect from me? I haven't dated a guy ever!

Suzanne came in with the coffee and looked at me then to Ms. Blake.

"I don't know much about guys but I could tell you this, you need to tell him how you feel and he will give you a response. If he says no, then there are more men who would want a great lady like you!" I said

She smiled. "I knew I could count on you, thank you, darling!" And with that, she took her coffee told me to have a good night and left.

"So should we start heading home?" Suzanne said

"Yeah we should, it's been a long day and I am tired." I got my stuff and locked my dressing room. We said our goodbyes to the people on the way and after that, we both went home. Can't wait to get some rest...
