"Nothing I had was viewed as mine. They didn’t think I had worked for it. I hadn’t earned it."

The Lucky One by @plegdoctor

“I was just some girl born in Lancashire, lucky to be talented, lucky to be plucked off the streets of my hometown, lucky to be taken under the silver wing of Divina, lucky to have landed some of the biggest roles on the West End.”

“What was the first show that Veronica Green was in?”

“I like how you say Veronica Green. Like her and Ronnie are two different people.”

The air is sharp, but not in the way of knives and swords, in the way of a berry that’s not quite ready to eat. A small wince, maybe a breathless laugh, and you’ll be accustomed in no time.

“So you just wanted to be loved. Isn’t this why we do this job? To be loved? Because maybe you’ll finally love yourself if someone else tells you that you did a good job. So you stayed with Ella until she was caught and I stayed with Miss Uni until she told me out of guilt and forced my hand in breaking up with her. And you threw yourself into music. I did too.”

Tia had a crush on Veronica Green. Now, she fears she’s falling in love with Ronnie Grey.

“I watched you thinking it was for nothing. Thinking I was just interested in how someone can possibly do it in such a textbook way, straight from professional training. How everyone knows that you have earned all of your opportunities. But then I was watching because I couldn’t look away.”

"With you, Tia, I submit to my label."
