Sneak Peek

I've wanted to be an actress since I was a little girl.

I knew it the moment I first saw 'The Wizard of Oz'.

Somehow, Judy Garland inspired me.

Coming from a small town, I knew I never had an actual chance.

But I did my research.

And within my research, I'd found that it's not all that it's cracked up to be.

I basically figured the three steps would help me; Big House, Rich Boyfriend, and Famous TV Show.

But dreams are easily crushed.

I knew that when I auditioned for a TV Show, I had almost no chance of getting cast.

I knew I was wrong the minute I met him.

He was a fantastic man, who was funny and sweet and caring.

But I was wrong.

He hurt me, and I vowed I would never trust any man ever again.

But then I met someone else.

A new him.

I knew he was nothing at all like the other one.

This man was brilliant, charming, and just a fun person.

I was certain of that when he was with me in my hospital room.

Every. Single. Time.

He never let me down. He was always there for me.

But then I was diagnosed with too many disorders to count.

He saved me, and kept saving me.

He never forgot about me like everyone else.

But I felt unwanted still.

I wasn't sure if it was my disorders, or if he actually hated me.

So I decided I'd had enough.

There he was, yet again at the hospital.

But I was confused.

Didn't he hate me enough?

The truth was, he didn't hate me at all.

He felt something, a small little spark.

A spark I had forgotten about.

A spark I could no longer feel.

The spark he felt was love.

And I felt the spark, too.
