yn.

fame, the limelight, prestige, the distinction.

is it really worth it? is it worth the loss of your life? is it worth the loss of your inner peace?

if you had asked me a year ago, if you had asked me, the sad poor girl working in a coffee shop just trying to make her way out of little ole Tallahassee, Florida? i would have immediately told you yes.

i would have traded it all , for fame.

but now that i've made it? i wish i would've told that scout no. i wish i would've stayed a barista at starbucks. i would've been happy. i would have been alive. i wouldn't have to write this letter for keith to find cause i've shot myself in the head.

yours truly,
                       yn.

one year ago..

i finished the woman's drink as i sprayed some whip cream on top and put a top on it. i grabbed her a cookie and straw as i placed the drink across the counter.

"have a good day!" i smiled softly as she smiled and thanked me.

"next?" i called, a bald guy came up as he looked up from his phone and gasped.

"sir ? are you okay?" i asked.

"you are so beautiful." he said in awe. "can i see your side profile?"

i turned my head to the side as he gasped again.

"oh my god, have you ever thought about modeling or being in tv somewhere?"

"uh sure , a few times." i answered awkwardly as the line behind him started to extend.

"here's my card! i'm a scout for florida flowers modeling agency. you have just the look were looking for! call me tomorrow and i can set up an appointment for you."

"oh.. okay. would you like to order some coffee?"

"oh yeah! lemme get a straight black coffee, with 2 sugars."

"okay your total is 5.46." i told him as he slid me 10.

later that day..

"bye yn! see you tomorrow!"

"yeah you too lena!" i said as i walked out the door of the starbucks. i walked to my car as i got in and pulled the card out of my pocket.

"raymond stern." i mumbled i scanned over his card once more. i placed it in the back of my phone case as i started my car and drove back to my little apartment.

15 minutes later..

i opened the door as my cat came right over to me , meowing and purring.

"hey milo, you hungry honey?" i said as i set my food bag down.

i poured some kibble in his bowl as he ran over to it , eating it. i took off my jacket and hung it on the hook. there was a knock on my door as i stopped taking my hair down and opened it to see it was the land lord.

"yes?" i asked softly. he handed me an envelope.

"it's an eviction notice. you have three days to get your stuff and get."

"i put a down payment on my rent!"

"yeah and a future renter payed double that. business is business." he shrugged walking away. i slumped my shoulders as tears came to my eyes.

then i pondered on what the guy had said. i pulled out his card as i grabbed my phone and quickly dialed the number.

i got up as milo watched my every move. i sniffled and wiped my tears as the line rung.

i got his voice mail as i sighed and left a message.

"hey Mr. stern, um it's the girl from starbucks , my name is Yn Yln and i just wanted to know how soon can i get into a casting? um thank you, please call me back soon." i spoke as i hung up. i threw my phone onto the couch and sat down on it with my head in my hands.

i soon heard milos tag jingling as he jumped on my lap and started rubbing his face on mine.

"yes milo, i love you too." i giggled a bit. i laid on the couch as i pulled out my high puff. i sighed in relief as i slumped over on the couch and fell asleep.

the next morning..

i woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. i jumped up as did milo as he scurried off somewhere.

"hello?" i asked sleepily and rubbed my eyes.

"yn! so glad i caught you! first, good morning."

"morning, may i ask , who this again..?" i mumbled as i yawned and stretched.

"it's stern! you can call me ryan though! but i'm calling cause i got your message and want you to know that i have a casting booked for you today!"

"wait huh?" i asked mid yawn and stopped rubbing my eye.

"yes , today! at 12! if you could be a doll and send your address my assistant will come and get you." he explained as the blood rushed through my body due to excitement.

"o-okay.. um 3345 gateway avenue."

"alllllrighty! i'll see you at 12!" he finally and hung up.

i checked the time and seen it was about 10:30. i peeled off my work clothes and jumped in the shower. i said a prayer in my head as the shower started to get warm.

i just hope everything goes right.
