I've been at the Lynch's house for three days now. It's been good so far. Everyday is exciting. We got o the beach, dance crazy to songs, ride our bikes around the area.... It's like I don't have a care in the world right now. I know that's not the truth though. The truth is is that my manager has been bugging me to get back on set and finish up the second movie with Josh. I keep making excuses but I actually just don't think I can handle being in the environment right now. With everything that went downward with Josh and how busy I've been, I don't think I can handle any more drama.

Ross has been sweet though. He's been really good through it all. Even after I rejected him. He has even started dating someone else. I'm pretty sure her name is like Belle or something. Ross never stops talking about her. It's like nobody else matters but her. In a good way of course.

Today I finally agreed that I would come and shoot the final scenes of the movie. I drove in and parked my car in the parking lot. People bustle all around me trying to get into the soundstage for the morning preparation. Paparazzi swarm me as soon as I step out of the car. It's the most annoying thing about my job. No alone time whatsoever. I make my way into the building and find my dressing room. A knock comes from my door. I tell them to come in as I look through my wardrobe for today.

"Ann?" Josh's voice says. I turn around and see him standing there. He's in khaki shorts and a white t-shirt.

"Hey Josh." I sigh.

"I want to talk to you about the other night."

"Okay." He breathes in and begins speaking.

" I know you say that model and I making out when you got home. The truth is is that I was drunk. That night I had too much to drink because I was getting the impression that you were falling for Ross. The kisses with her didn't mean anything. I didn't even realize what had happened that night until one of my friends asked me how my hangover was." His eyes plea me to say something.

"Thank you for telling me. I believe you." I continue. Josh sighs and steps towards me for a kiss." I'm sorry, Josh but I still can't be with you."

"Why not?" Josh asks.

" I need time alone right now. I am not seeing anybody for a while. There has been so much drama with us to last a lifetime. Do you understand what I'm saying?" Josh nods and grabs my hand.

"Just know that I'm still your friend and that I will always be here for you." I say thank you to him before he walks out my dressing room. I'm left there with no breathe and freedom running through my veins. This is time for a fresh start. A new Ann. This time I'm going to become the person I've always wanted to be. This has to start with no more relationships and my own house. Today I shall go apartment shopping. Its been hard living under other people's roofs.

The day of shopping for apartments was very unsuccesful. I didn't find one that I even liked remotely. I decided to do my go to things when I don't know what to do. I call Sydney.

"Hello?" She answers.

"Sydney! Its Ann! I miss you!" I yell into phone.

"Ahh! Ann! I miss you too! Hwo have you been?"

"I've been better but pretty good. I've offically delcared myself single unitl I figure myself out first."

"Good for you. No one needs the drama you went through. Those people only make good characters in movies."

"Well, it sure feels like I'm living in a movie. I don't even have my own place. I'm just staying with Ross and his family."

"Well, I'm always here in Paris if you want to spend some time in Europe."

"You know what Sydney," I say, "I might just move out there with you. I can finally get way from all the drama that is LA."

"Okay. Just email me and we can divide everything out." Sydney says. I answer and hang up. The next thing to do is to change my look. I get in my car and drive to the hair dresser. I ask for something different and she delivers.

Now I have blonde wavy hair with bangs. With my makeup on, I can say that I like my new look. It feels good to have a fresh start. And in two weeks I will be moving to Paris where maybe. just maybe I can forget about the heartbreak and the sadness.
