For the Love of Vee

Chapter 31: Vee
I had spent more than a year in Los Angeles, chasing a dream that, at times, seemed unattainable.
And finally, I had a breakthrough. Scott offered me a small role in his next movie.
Filming a movie was nothing like I had imagined countless times. It was a demanding, complex process, and not always glamorous, though in my mind, everything had a brilliant nuance that made it extraordinary.
I quickly became part of the team, even though my role in the eyes of others was insignificant. The first time I saw the main cast, I was so starstruck that Scott scolded me like a child. Until that moment, Deborah Mall and Ray Finn had existed for me only on screen. Suddenly, they were flesh and blood, and I discovered that Deborah was addicted to peanut butter and that Ray smoked secretly because he was afraid his wife would find out. There was a lot of kinetic energy on the set as they jockeyed to establish a relationship with each other.
They were real. And so was I.
Raven Black was a nineteen-year-old girl whose inexperience represented the fresh rebellion of youth.
I played Kandy, a prostitute whom Deborah’s character met one night by chance and who turned out to be the catalyst for her divorce. Kandy appeared in three scenes and was more focused on observing what was happening around her than acting. She had almost no lines.
However, her presence was crucial to the story’s resolution.
It was a great story. I adjusted the neckline of my lace dress for the umpteenth time and sighed. With makeup and clothes on, I did seem to be a new person, one more distant and conflicted than the one who had arrived in Los Angeles a year before. One who still didn’t know herself very well, but who was beginning to take shape as she wanted to be.
