Chapter 1

Alissa

,,How does it feel to have everything you want'' I hear a reporter asking me a question but I take some time to think about the question. What does that mean nowadays? Having money, a job, friends, family, health or maybe some big ,epic, love? For me, having everything does not mean absolutely nothing, because with one blink of an eye it may disappear, but I do not intend to express my honest opinion in the newspaper. If I did it would end up on the front cover with some headline, such as „Spoiled brat'' ,,Ungrateful little rich girl'', or something even worse, so I just inhale and say, "Feeling is indescribable and I can't be more grateful, my parents, they are my rock and without their support I would be nobody'' after I answer I see a little smudge on her face but it disappeared as quick as it came

,,Thank you miss Pierson for this lovely interview'' ,,You're welcome'' I smile with my best fake smile there is. She took the voice recorder from the table and went to her crew from the newspaper and I thought to myself, so Alissa there go another usual day for you, nothing new. I can not say that I do not like this, on the contrary, I really love my job but some people who find themselves on my path are not always pleasant but it is mine to shut up and do my job.

Do not misunderstand me, sometimes I really laugh and it is not because of acting, but sometimes I feel the best when I am standing in front of a camera, no one is interrogating me or judging me, nothing but take pictures of me, because that camera doesn't care about anything other then my smiling or if I'm being serious or angry and that is why I love this job and who I am, not the heiress of the Pierson empire. I'm a model, that's what I have always been and what I hope to still be in the future.

After exiting the building where the shooting was for this month's GQ Magazine, I slowly made my way down the street to the parking lot where my big LITTLE love stands, my Audi TT, I made lunch plans with my mom and Lenna my little sister. I tried to get to the restaurant as soon as possible, hoping to avoid street traffic. Bloomingtown is beautiful at this time of year, everything blooms and smells beautifully and people come outside of their big houses to enjoy the beautiful city in April. Bloomingtown has a population of about 50,000, 80% of the people living here are rich and they enjoy a peaceful life here.

I'm standing in front of La Lounge, otherwise known as the most beautiful little restaurant in town held by Tommy's parents, one of my best friends, and believe me, I'm not just saying that because that's my friend. They serve heavenly food here, I mean how could it not be when Susan and Matt , Tommy's parents, are hopelessly in love with food and themselves. I walk into the restaurant and from the door I notice my mom's short-cut blonde hair and Lena's sweet light brown curls. My mom is a woman who, with her presence, evokes elegance and Lena is a small, though not so small, 15-year-old who has looked up to her mom. I approach the table and as Lena gets up and hugs me gently, „I'm sorry if you have been waiting for me for a long time, I got into a small traffic'' I apologize. ,,No we just came maybe 10 minutes ago'' Lena answers me. My best friend, who's also Tommy's twin sister, Mia brings us the menus ,,And Liss how was the shooting ?'' she turns to me as she gives the menus to each of us, ,,As usual'' I laugh, ,,you know I enjoy photoshoots, the interview is another story but as you can see I survived it'' ,,Great, is our deal still standing for tomorrow night, Tommy and Carmen are in too'' ,,Yes I'm in, now can I please order something I'm starving'' ,,Alissa do you want to end up in the hospital or do you want something worse to happen'' I hear my mom yelling because she hates it when I don't eat and work full time. Yes people that is my mom a 100% lady but also a 100% drama queen ,, Don't worry mom I ate on the set too, but I'm exhausted so I'm ready for the next round'' I look at her smiling and when I see that my lie has passed I lower my head into the menu just so I don't burst out laughing.

The meal was great as always and the story with my mom is the same, she asks me if everything is OK at work, then she asks me if I have a boyfriend, then why don't I have it her old ,,It's not good to be alone,, which is not a total lie, Lena tells us how she has crush on some boy from her class, which reminds me of my crushes back in those years and how times were totally different then, we always end our dates with my mom's worried look and a hug full of love. They enter the family black Bentley and I return to my baby TT. I can't wait to get back home and relax for at least two hours in the bathtub.
