Dreaming Hollywood

Chapter 24

Martin

In the end she decides to let me in, says goodbye to Max and Jane and we go up to her room.  She says nothing to her mom -maybe they don't have a good relationship-.

She locks the door and pushes me violently on the bed but it is not a beautiful, mischievous violence, it is physical violence, she is angry with me and I cannot blame her.

"Listen Claudia ..." I try to sketch but I have a dry throat and a trembling voice "I'm s-sorry ..."

"No Martin! Now you listen to me!"  It's like she's trying to tell me something that hurts her.

"Listen I have always dreamed of being catapulted into your world, I have always dreamed of being an actress, doing interviews and trying not to lose patience with all the fans who chase me, I have always dreamed of everything but for shyness there are no  succeeded and I made a shitty figure live on the national team ... "suddenly she gets dark.

"Is that why you didn't come to school this morning or why did you have to go to the park with a junkie to get you reeds?"  Fuck, I didn't have to say it ... It came out badly.  I wanted to get to the point calmly but jealousy took over, in the wrong way and at the wrong time.  "No, I'm sorry ..." I try to reply but it's too late, she starts screaming at me with tears in her eyes.

"Do you think I skipped school because I wanted to? Why did I want to go to the park to take drugs? Maybe not because they all watched me do a fucking figure on TV and I wanted to avoid having finger pointed at me!"  Then she stops for a moment ... "Wait a minute, how do you know I was in the park? Did you follow me? You are starting to scare me Martin ..." and as she says so she steps back.

"No, I wasn't following you I was worried, you didn't answer anyone's calls and to clear my ideas I went to the park and I saw you that you were making reeds with a guy, I got scared a lot and so I came running here  ".

Seconds go by, maybe twenty, but they seem endless.

Then she goes on "Ok, I understand ... I have to explain some very personal things to you, I don't know if you can accept them. I have a horrible past as a drug addict, an alcoholic and even a nymphomaniac. Then I cleaned up and now I am as I am  see but yesterday I needed to be distracted for a moment and I smoked a cane but now I finally decided to stop ... "she cries while she tells it, I certainly wasn't expecting this but I'm glad it opened up so much with me.

And now that I know her past, I can't help hugging her.
