    TW: domestic violence I've always loved the sunset. Growing up, it was always the best part of my day. I distinctly remember sitting outside every summer evening as a kid and looking forward to it. I would wait, sometimes for houwww.onedoor.ccrs on end, for the sky to wear its beautiful colors and bless me with its beauty.

    Part one This wasn't what the movies made it out to be. Things are supposed to work out, and end happily ever after. You're not supposed to be living in your car, struggling just to barely get by. At least I have my car, and I'm not completely homeless. L.A is full of homeless people.Jaya put the thoughts out of her head, as she looked at the paper in front of her. This script was five pages, more than she had ever had to cold read. Her anxiety was getting the best of her, as she felt a rush to her head, making it hard for her to breathe. "O...0T8one door
