<div style="text-align: justify;">Amy felt really terrible knowing that she had hurt Sidney. He seemed like a really nice person, and definitely didn’t deserve to be slapped. She would have to practice fake slaps at home, and get it just right so she didn’t hurt anyone else. <br/><br/>When Sidney mentioned that she had not puked on him, Amy couldn’t help but giggle soflty. “No, I didn’t indeed. But I’m still really sorry”. <span style="font-style: italic">‘And I don’t really have anything to puke’</span>, Amy completed silently to herself. She was hungry, but that was something she would never admit. <br/><br/>When Rich told her that she had potential, Amy let out a relieved sigh. It was starting! She was finally getting a break! Sure, it was a small break, but a small break was better than no break at all, right? That was just the beginning. She would rise to the top, she was sure, as long as she had a chance. <br/><br/>Shaking Rich’s hand firmly, Amy showed a big smile. “I will be here at nine o’clock sharp”, she promised, feeling light enough to float. <br/><br/>After thanking Rich profusely a few times, and apologizing to Sidney a few more times, Amy finally left the office. She thanked Rich’s secretary politely as well, and finally stepped out on the street. Everything seemed much better than when she had left the cheap motel room where she was. The sun felt warmer, the air fresher, and even the people looked better. Life was changing. She was gonna make it!<br/><br/>Amy felt really happy and excited, and couldn’t help but smiling at each person she met on her path. It was due to this attention that she happened to notice, almost at the motel where she was staying, another young woman. She resembled Amy of herself when she had come to Hollywood. Feeling a sense of empathy and a will to help anyone she could, Amy couldn’t resist and approached the other girl carefully. One never knew the reaction people could have to being caught by surprise, after all. Stepping close to the girl, Amy waited to have her attention before speaking. “Hello. Do you need any help?”. Before the other one could reply, she completed as an explanation. “I have been there too, you know. Just getting here and not knowing anyone”. After these words, Amy finally stopped talking and waited for the other girl to either tell her to get lost or accept her offer of help.</div>
