You're welcome to play the song when it says just to feel the moment ya know? 


My day was pretty boring. After I was at the coffee shop I decided to go for a nice walk. So I went home, changed and took Stevie on my walk with me so I wouldn't get lonely. There's something about LA during the day that I find so interesting. Everyone seems to be in such a rush all the time. Sometimes I wonder what their hurry is. If I get creative enough, I'll make little scenarios up in my head of why someone is in such a hurry. None of my scenarios are ever good but sometimes it's fun to imagine.

After my walk I came home and did some laundry. After I finished all my laundry, I thought it was a good idea to plan out my schedule for the week. I got my teaching schedule done pretty quick, now it was on to my personal schedule. That was also pretty easy to make considering I don't ever do anything. All my friends are back home and only want to visit on a full moon. I've thought about going out and making new friends somewhere, but I always get too scared. I always think I'm a bother around people I don't know, and the last thing I ever want to do is annoy someone that doesn't want me around.

To me, the worst feeling in the world is knowing you aren't wanted.

As I write down my schedule I am almost done and then I remember. The audition. It's Wednesday night. I sigh really not wanting to go to this stupid thing, but I do really need the money. Being a high school teacher isn't necessarily a million dollar job, but if it's something I like to do, money doesn't really matter to me. I live in a cute, small studio apartment and I'm happy with it.

I set my stuff down on my bed and walk to the kitchen to make myself some breakfast. I turned on my little radio I had sitting on my counter so I had something to listen to while I cooked.

"Up next we have Liam Payne with some 'Strip That Down'"

Wasn't Liam Payne in that boy band one direction?

I remember One Direction. Well, I only remember Liam and Zayn because they were my favorite. I remember I was in the car with one of my friends and she was playing their music. She was jamming along to it so hard and I tried to keep up but I didn't know any of the world. After that day, we listened to one direction whenever we were in the car together. On the day before I left, we decided to go for one last car ride jam sesh. The last song we listened to was 'Something Great.' *PLAY SONG*

"I want you to remember this song," Greta says through tears.

"Why?" I ask confused with a shaky voice from my previous cry.

"I can tell you've been struggling since River left," she says with a sigh. She definitely didn't want to bring this subject up, "I know you don't think you'll find someone but I want you to know that River was just the beginning. Moving to LA is going to change your life for the better and I promise you that. You are going to find the best man you will ever meet out there, you just have to believe it just as much as I do. You need to put yourself out there and show the real Rosie Clark. You're gonna find you're something great."

Greta was right. I have to believe it. I'm sick of sitting here listening to the radio and cooking with my dog every night. It's time I make a change.

I put food in Stevie's bowl and some more water. I ran up stairs to fix my appearance. I put on some light make up and throw some loose curls in my hair. Once I'm done with that, I stared at my closet for what felt like forever. As I reach for my loose floral dress something stops me

"Show the real Rosie Clark."

I quickly grab my tight black dress and throw it onto my body. I grab my white heels and head to the door. I slip them only my feet and grab my purse on the coat hanger.

"Wish me luck Stevie."

I lock the door behind me and sigh.  well, let's see what the night holds for Rosanna clark.
