"Go talk to her" Sally implores. "No" I sigh, looking down into my drink. "Why?" "I already did at the bar earlier; I think she's pissed I never messaged her. Plus, she's clearly with that guy". I nod my head towards the handsome guy with his arm draped around her. "Oh, that's Sam don't worry about him" She chuckles, as if she knows something I don't. "Who's Sam, and why not?" I ask slightly too eagerly. "He's the kind of boyfriend I was telling you about, he's just some fuck-boi she's had some kind of weird on-off relationship with for like, ever, apparently. It's nothing serious, plus he's a total dick. He met us for drinks after work on Wednesday. He's like a real-life Patrick Bateman, but in the movie business. Sure, he's hot but he is the worst. Thinks he's the best because he's a Harvard grad or something equally obnoxious." "Well, I'm not going up there, how do I introduce myself? 'Hi, I'm Maddison, I fucked your kind of girlfriend two weeks ago, spent a super fun day with her then ignored her for two weeks, can I steal her for the night?' no thank you." "Fine pouty, I'll go over." "Please don't, you're drunk and you're going to embarrass me." My plead falls on deaf ears as Sally is already up and heading towards Lola's group. I turn around and engage with Inez so it doesn't look like I sent my friend over to talk to the girl I like. It all seems so high school and cringe. Five minutes pass and Sally is yelling to me "StVincent. Over here. We're playing doubles". They're at the pool table again. I guess its Sally and I versus Lola and Sam. Great. I pound my drink back and head over.

It was supposed to be anonymous. Just some harmless, late-night messeges on a forum. No names. No photos. No real-life complications. She was GoldTrap-mysterious, sharp, and way too good with words. I was BlueInk-awkward, sarcastic, and definitely not looking for anything. But then she made me laugh. Then she made me think. Then... she made me feel things I really shouldn't be feeling for someone I've never met. I'm Quinn. Twenty-four. Screenwriter-in-training. Emotionally a little chaotic and basically there no reason an amazing woman like her would be falling for someone like me. I've played a lot of roles in my life. But never this one. ----------------------------------------------- Late at night, I started writing letters to a stranger on a private forum-just to feel something real. She calls herself BlueInk. She's young, clever, infuriatingly honest... and somehow, she sees right through me. She doesn't know I'm Juliette Delaney-Hollywood's favorite ice queen with a face on every magazine and a life that doesn't belong to me anymore. She doesn't know that when I type, my hands shake. That when I read her replies, I smile. That I'm craving her words more than I've ever craved the spotlight. And I don't know what will happen if she finds out who I am. Because if I tell her the truth, I might lose the one person who loves me for who I really am. Not the icon. Not the actress. Just... me. But if I don't? I'll never get to feel her say my name out loud.
