In the glow from her laptop Addison let out a stifled giggle as the YouTube video she had been watching came to an end. Her eyes darted from the digital clock in the bottom right hand corner and the digital note she had plastered on her desktop.

“First Cast readthrough 
March 18th 
Be there at 7am to set up!”

Eyes back to the clock [i]“2:30am…” [/i]Addison sighed as she stood up from her desk, she stretched and flopped down on her bed. Getting comfortable took some time but before long she was fast asleep. After what felt like 5 minutes the alarm clock’s shrill screech made Addison shoot up with her heart in her throat. [b]Am I late?! Did I oversleep? Am I alive?![/b]

A few frantic seconds later when she had calmed down she sprinted in to her shower, if you could even call it a shower. It has two settings molten lava and frostbites which more often than not results in a lousy shower. Today Addison actually got to take a lukewarm one which was rare. But she couldn’t complain since the place was dirt cheap and she was fresh out of college, so expecting more than this dump as a first apartment was just moronic. 

With a piece of toast in her hand Addison stepped out of the building in to the rain and hailed a cab. As the trip to the studio that was booked for the reading began Addison took out her calendar to check what had to be fixed. [i]“Food, Coffee, Chairs…. Scripts!”[/i] Addison exclaimed quietly to herself and screwed her face up as she reached in her bag and felt around for the bundle of scripts she had copied up the night before. When she finally found them she let out one of the weirdest sounds she had ever made, which made the cab driver stare at her in the rearview mirror.

Finally at the studio Addison hoisted her big bag out of the cab and walked in flashing her crew card to the cards as she passed them, feeling weirdly proud as she did so. The empty room that the reading was going to take pace in was spacious and light even in the dull gray light the rainy weather was casting through the windows. Addison set to work right away with arranging the tables and chairs in to a satisfactory way so that all the actors and writers could see each other while reading through the scrip. Not long after the catering company came in with the food which she helped arrange on a table in the back of the room. She checked her watch 8:45am she checked her list and made some finishing touches when her phone started to buzz in her pocket. She stepped outside in to the hallway.

The name on the phone surprised her Nathan Matthews, her brother. [i]“Nathan?”[/i] She answered quizzically.

[i]“Hey sis!”[/i] her brothers voice boomed on the other end.

[i]“What do you want?”[/i] Addison asked with a raised eyebrow.

[i]“Woah, nice to hear from you too Addie…”[/i]

[i]“Well Nathan can you blame me? Last time I spoke to you I had to wire you money… so”[/i] She said and squirmed a bit on the spot she stood. [i]“I’m just surprised that’s all.”[/i]

Her brother was silent for a moment then [i]“I know I’m a screw up Addie… But I just need some help.”[/i] 

[i]“How much?”[/i] Addison sighed disgruntled.

[i]“No, no I don’t need money! I just need a place to stay… you see I’m in town.”[/i] He chuckled.

[i]“You’re in LA?!”[/i] she almost shouted and looked around to see if anyone had heard her [i]“God Nathan how about some heads up?!”[/i] She scolded him.

[i]“C’mon Addie, just for a week or two…”[/i]

She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths [i]“Fine! I’ll text you the address, there is an extra key under the doormat… You get the couch!”[/i] Addison said and hung up, she furiously texted her address and stomped back in to the room and slammed the door closed. When she turned around to keep working she yelped and jumped a few inches.

[i]“Mr. Zolner!”[/i] Addison exclaimed as she grasped her chest when she saw he boss sitting on one of the couches [i]“You scared me there, what are you doing here so early? The reading isn’t scheduled until 11 right?”[/i]
