Welcome to L.A.

See For Me (Unedited)

--Back to Amy's POV--
I can't. I can't hear that any longer. I hope it ends soon...

"I... wanna know. What are you planning now?"

That question... that question was the hardest I ever answered to my whole life.

"Well... I don't know yet. I'm just newly a writer for TM, but who knows..."

"She's going in England!" Screamt Mau before sitting loudly next to me in a hurry. The audience laughed heavily.

"She's right." Said Dan sitting next to me after a small run to follow her. "Cambridge saw the good she did to me and realized her potential. I... I wasn't able to talk much about Amy on the video because of the accident. Knowing her made me bring stereotypes down and believing in a brighter future. I've been betrayed, left alone as an orphan, I never really had much friends other than Ash and... I stopped believing in love ages ago. She made me feel like I could tell her anything with the trust I saw in her eyes the first day we met. I saw how she'd understand. I realized that, with her, you'll never be alone, I saw my future brightening and... I finally fell in love again. Her insecurity made her the best award receiver. She knew she wasn't supposed to be there two weeks before the event. She preferred to keep being herself than tried to win her hardest. Nobody knows, but a lot of celebrities came to see her and told me how she deserves to stay with us and under the spotlight. Something in her made them believe in Hollywood again. She was her the whole time and won three awards in a week and a half... A record for everyone..."

I remember touched I was by Dan's words... He hugged me sideways and it felt like all eyes were on us. Of course I had to say something...

"I... I don't know what is going to happen this fall, but..." I started to tear. "When I was eighteen, a really good and lovable friend of mine came to me to talk about her issues. Usually, I'm present and answer shortly, but... that day, I was at work. With mid terms coming up, I barely went on Facebook and... a day later, that Sunday past ten thirty PM, I read... I read what she had to share. She stopped believing in life that day... stopped believing in hope and that night shook me hard enough and hurt hard enough to have changed my life. For good. Seriously considering to leave forever, she said that it'll be better than everything else and... I wasn't there when it happened. Her identity will always be remained secret, but I remember every single moment of that night. That night, I told one of my best and closest friends in these exact words: I swear to God, if she's gone, I'll make sure I'm in psychology to achieve something with what people say I'm good at. If she sees hope through me I'll kick my a#$ off twice harder to get to it. F*$! my crapped past with ruined dreams. This has changed my life for the worst and the best..." A big silence took place. "Hopefully she's still with me today. I was afraid, concerned, worried and she came back shocked by how I cared. It wasn't what I thought was happening, hopfully, but I'll never forget how much I wanted to change our dark world and how much I was glad to have made a difference. I don't know for a fact if I really did, but being there for her and supporting her made me realize what I'm here for."

"She saved people's life even more than you can think. She saved mine." Said Mau.

"Mine." Said Dan.

"And she never asked for anything in return if not a little of support."

"No one should feel bad because I need help. No one should feel the need to help and help without wanting to. I don't need pity. I don't want ot either. I just need to know that I'm not alone in this darkness."

Ellen asked me a few questions that they skipped on their video to get to the part where it gets harder to listen to...

--Maddy's POV--
Everyone is deadly silent. What she said has shut everyone. They're staring at us. Not at the screen. When I finished to embrace her, I looked at them all attentive and touched. Hugging her sideways, I see them as attentive and touched, but the accident captured the their attention already.

"I went back from Las Vegas and I was amazed by how people believed in me. Thea first." Tears came back again... "She made me believe in my writing and made sure I tried to feel like I could fit in their world."

"Dan, you told us earlier that you had something for Amy. Wanna show us what it is?" was the question she probably feared the most. Living that moment twice must be more than hard...

"Before we left, Amy forgot her purse with all the letters we wrote her. Instead of cards, don't ask me why..." That particular moment is truly hurtful. "Here're the letters you were too drunk to read." She started to cry on stage and she stood up to leave as if she remembered and forgot about her new issue.

"I'll read them for her." I said stang up by her side and pulling her down. "Thea's letter is first on the pile." I'm hugging her tighter to help her carrying on. "Dear, dear Amy, I suppose that today's the day I'm telling you how found of you I am. I'm not an emotional, but I do know when I care about someone more than usual. I see you as a daughter and friend. A friend who's devoted to people she loves. I never got attached to a client or someone I'm with whom I'm in charge... It's new and weird, but a fold weird. I have so many projects in mind for you and I can't wait to show you the list on my computer. It's a long one I hope you're patient because I believe that you can achieve all this with what you already did. It was supposed to be kept secret, but they really love your article. They want you to be a full part of the team and become more than a magazine writer. I hope you finally realize how much potential you still have in you... I saw it the day we met and I'll always be the first reading you no matter where you are in the world. PS: Chicago is still an option. Dylan and I believe that it could be a great opportunity, but I want you to stay with us for now. With love and admiration, Thea."

She was crying on stage. She still is. Thea was so important to her, she still is.

"I never believe in myself. I just see possible fails before possible goals to achieve..." She stopped in tears. "And the worst part is that I never got to thank her enough..."

"We'll have a memorial for them when you're ready, Aim." Said Dan after leaning his head on her shoulder.

"Each one of them was special to me in its own way. They all deserved to live longer..."

Of course, she had to say that... As the interview kept going forward, it was harder for her to hang on. I never let her go. I was scared she would try to escape.

We finished the video with what we promised Amy. Something she doesn't expect to hear. Everyone's applauding. Everyone. Eyes full of admiration and respect, they all find her story admirable. She was worrying to much... again

To introduce her to what we prepared her, we invited Ellen in DnA's house. We wanted it to be casual like she would have wanted it to be.

"Ash and I decided to have Ellen with us to tell you the big event we've been talking about since laat month." Said Dan in the bonus video they'll post tonight.

"I'm honored to have been asked to be one of the spokesmen and spokeswomen of the See For Me foundation."

--Back to Amy's POV--
Did they really talk about a foundation?! It can't be...

"The See For Me is the foundation we've been workimg on since the accident." Says Dan.

"Since... Amy... is... well, since we've all been through this major event, many people sent us support and we worried about her." Really?!

"On the list Dylan gave us about Thea's ambitions for Amy, there was the best idea ever to make things better with an horrible event."

"Start a movement. Something big that can change the world or make it better..." Says Maddy to complete Dan's explanation.

"And. Today. Is. The day she achieves that dream."

***Autour's note: Hey everyone! I'm so grateful to see that you're all reading me. Every time, it makes me feel happier to see I'm still read. I'm really sorry for the delay because of Mid terms... Have a nice end of the week and I'll post next week I swear! ❤🤞***
