A couple of years ago, I decided to become a volunteer at Sundance Film Festival. I had aways been very interested in Film and I thought it was the perfect way to meet filmy people and become a star. I had an incredbile time, went to a million parties and met lots of wannabe film makers but none who were quite eligible to give me my big break!
I had gone to Sundance with a friend, lets call her Alice. Now, Alice and I had been friends for years, we had been locked behind the wrought iron gates of boarding school together. Alice was not being her usual self, she was fresh out of rehab but I had seen her sober before and something was different. She didn't want to come out with me, so I ended up going out with people I had met in the day time at the cinema I was working at.
One night, I came back to the hotel room that Alice and I were sharing. She was on the phone, teliing someone she loved them. This was big news, Alice wasn't the 'I love you' type. She had millions of crushes, but they were silly and rather strange. There had never been an 'I love you'. When she got off the phone, I asked who it had been and she went bright red. She didn't tell me.
Alice and I were meant to be flying from Utah (where Sundance Film Festival is) to LA for two weeks and then back to England. Alice was half American and had friends in LA, who we were going to stay with. The day before our flight, I found out who the 'I love you' had been for. Alice was in love with a woman, from Georgia, who she had met in rehab. Rather than fly with me to LA she was flying out to Georgia, to be with her lover. I was going to be stranded in LA by myself, with no friends and nowhere to stay....I didn't know what to do.......
