Gloria smiled back at Amy. She was glad she had met someone who understood. Coming to a large city was a big adjustment. She didn't know anyone and the whole culture of the city was different. In small towns, people helped each other out. In large cities, you had to watch your back. Gloria felt very naive all the sudden. Who knew what could have happened to her if Amy had not found her first. She'd have to remember to be more careful.<br/><br/>"Just local plays and stuff like that. I'm sure the agents hear that a lot, though."<br/><br/>Gloria replied to Amy. She was quickly realizing she was just one of hundreds, maybe thousands, of people coming to Hollywood to make it big. Everyone had been a big deal back home. It was easy to be the best talented actor in small town. You were a big fish in a small bowl. Here, though, things were different. Everyone had been a big fish in a small bowl. Now, everyone was a big fish in a giant ocean. An ocean full of sharks.<br/><br/>Gloria nodded her head to Amy, when she said she hadn't gotten her big break yet. She smiled at Amy's offer.<br/><br/>"I'd like that, if you don't mind."<br/><br/>She certainly would not expect Amy to help her out. Although the other girl was very nice.<br/><br/>"Have you been here long?"<br/><br/>She wondered how long Amy had been living in Hollywood. She nodded her head when they arrived at the Motel. It seemed nice for the price. It did sound a little odd about the offer. After all, in big cities, wasn't everyone out for themselves? But when Amy explained herself, Gloria understood.<br/><br/>"Small town girls have to look out for each other."<br/><br/>Gloria replied with a smile. The lady who ran the hotel seemed pretty nice.<br/><br/>"Hello, ma'am."<br/><br/>She told Maggie politely and nodded her head that she'd like to see a room.<br/><br/>"That's good."<br/><br/>She replied to Amy about Maggie. The older lady seemed like a nice lady.
