[attr="class","pp"]
wow, are you my ...i completely lost track of time! well please sit sit, let me just move this stuff out of the way. okay, let's get started. tell me a little bit about yourself. "what the fuck do you mean you have to go?" dani bit nervously at her lip as she sat in her idling car. she'd just pulled into the parking lot of this building where her latest interview was supposed to be conducted. if she didn't start walking now, she was going to be late. "yeah... i have an interview i have to go to... i'm sorry, kurt. i'll call you after?" the longer the silence stretched on from his end of line, the faster her heart started to beat in her chest. dani thought he might lash out on her, but instead the line simply went dead. honestly, that scared her more than his yelling would have, but she tried to push those worries to the back of her mind for now. after forcing herself to take a deep breath, the blonde forced a smile onto her lips before exiting her car and walking off towards the building. once she was inside, the receptionist directed her towards an office in the back which she entered with an excited little bounce in her step. "that's perfectly fine! i think i'm running a little bit late too." smiling still, she waited a beat before taking a seat in front of the desk. the room was cluttered, but still open enough that it was still possible for her to breathe. "well, i'm daniella rosewood, but most people call me dani. there's a few who call me ella though, so you can pick whichever you like better!" she nodded, then fidgeted in her seat. they were only two seconds in and her restlessness was already starting to show. "i'm a twenty-two year old dancer. i do a lot of competitions and i preform at a lot of shows and in theaters. my parents also own a dance studio, so i teach a few classes there when i can. ballet is my strongest suit, but i also do contemporary and some hip hop." for someone so young, she definitely had a lot on her plate. but it's been like that ever since she was old enough to walk. there was always too much piled up on her plate. "and... oh! my birthday is may thirteenth."that's a lot of information. so tell me, where are you from? the blonde shrugged in mild agreement. sure it was a lot of information, but that was the easy stuff. if she were to google daniella rosewood, all of those basic details probably would have popped up on her wikipedia page. "i'm originally from santa cruz, california. it's a beautiful beach town and my parents own a gorgeous house there. it's been a couple months since i went to visit them last, but new york has become my home. leaving it feels kind of weird sometimes." that wasn't necessarily the truth. dani loved to explore. she loved that her job allowed her to travel to different places around the world. california was just a... sensitive area for her. she and her parents didn't have the best of relationships which was why their conversations had a tendency to be over the phone. ahh fascinating ! well i'm from here, born and raised, never left. so many people that i know and love here, just couldn't leave them ! what about you? anyone you care dearly for here? a small smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. perhaps kurt should have been the first name and face that popped into her head... but he wasn't. he never was when someone asked her who the most important person in her life was. now, of course, his was the first name to leave her mouth, but that didn't necessarily mean anything. "of course! i've lived here for... four or five years now? i made a lot of friends while i was at school and through my job. i met my boyfriend, kurt, after this show i did on broadway. he travels a lot for work though, so it's a lot of touch and go. it's definitely hard to be away from him." another lie, but it fell so easily from her mouth that no one would suspect that it was anything but the truth. life was a lot easier for her whenever he wasn't around... and she got to spend a lot of time with the people who actually mattered to her. like dom and evie and liam. especially liam.quite a list. must mean you have a juicy past,let's hear a little bit about it. "yeah, i guess it is... and i guess it does." dani managed to smile, but her involuntary shift in her seat gave away her minor discomfort. it wasn't as if she hadn't talked about her past before. at this point, she was so good at giving the sweetly watered down version of it that this should be no problem at all. today, however, she was feeling a little more on edge than usual. that probably had something to do with the argument, or lack there of, that she had with kurt over the phone. there were cracks in her foundation. "like i said, i grew up in santa cruz, california. my parents are two very successful people, but my entire family is known throughout various industries. um... i do have an older brother, owen. we were always really close growing up, even though he's a few years older than me. i have always looked up to him because he's such a good person. really, he is. he's always looked out for me when we were growing up and i'll never be able to thank him enough for that." her brother was always the one who was there for her when things in her life started to go awry. he would sit in her room with her until she stopped crying and would be the first to show up at her dance or cheer competitions when he had the time. the two of them were a lot closer than your usual brother and sister duo. he knew everything there was to know about her and she knew the same about him. "i started dancing from the moment i learned to balance on my own two feet. so that's always been a huge part of my life. my parents are perfectionists, which i don't say with any negative connotations, so on top of dance, i also had to stay on the honor roll in school while also joining the cheer team at high school. i was definitely a very busy kid growing up, but i mean, i've got so much energy all the time that i manage to balance it all." well, that and her parents sort of forced her to. while her brother was the perfect child, seemingly incapable of doing anything wrong, dani was a mistake. she was troublesome, always messing up this thing or that because she wasn't trying hard enough or she continued to get distracted. her parents were always yelling or scolding her, but eventually that wasn't enough. eventually they start to hit her. the first time she didn't really know what to make of it. she just sort of stared up at her father with wide eyes that soon started to glaze over. dani couldn't even remember why he had hit her that time, but she became very familiar with the red impression of his hand on her face shortly after that first time. "after i graduated high school, i sort of had vague intentions of going to college in california. i didn't really know what i wanted to do yet or where i wanted to go... but then my brother sort of decided for me. during the summer after graduation, we moved to new york." there was more to it than that. dani had every intention of staying in california because that was all she was familiar with. of course she wanted to leave, but she was too afraid to. she was afraid of what her parents might think or how she would even function without them planning out every step of her life. that summer, she had all kinds of dance competitions and things laid out for her. her stress levels were through the roof, especially after she found out that her boyfriend of two years had been cheating on her with one of the other girls from the cheer team, and she slipped up. instead of coming in first place at the ballet competition, she came in at third. the disappointment in her parents faces was easy to see through the crowd, but it wasn't until they got home that they lashed out on her. at this point in time she was used to it. hardly even flinched when her mother reached out to strike her. at that very same time, however, her brother walked through the door with a bundle of flowers in his hands. after that it was all sort of a blur. she could just remember him telling her to go to her room, hearing a lot of shouting from downstairs, and then owen telling her to pack up her things. during the plane ride to new york, dani told him all about the abuse she'd been silently suffering through for years. "i attended julliard, graduated, and then started working right away. my schedule is all kinds of crazy still, but i don't mind. i love what i do. i love performing for people and making them happy. it's really just a beautiful thing and i mean... i've really come to love everything about new york. it's such a wonderful city and my life has changed in magnificent ways because of it." a lot of that was true. daniella slowly started to build herself back up and began to recover from the traumas of her childhood. she made friends and started to work out the details of who she truly was and who other people wanted her to be. things were really starting to look up for her... until suddenly they weren't. she found herself falling back into the same routine and all the progress she'd made fell apart around her. you just get more and more interesting. is that a word that someone would describe you as? no? then what is something that people would say you are. dani folded her hands in her lap so that she could twiddle her fingers. she imagined that a lot of people had a lot of different things to say about her. it would all depend on the person you asked because she had a tendency to change herself in order to fit certain people. "uh... i guess interesting would be a good adjective? though i think energetic and friendly and annoying might suit me a little better." she laughed and smiled, having no problem with admitting to the fact that she was so energetic and friendly to the point where it could come off as pretty annoying. there was no doubt in her mind that a good handful of people didn't like her because of the sweet nature of her personality. there was just something about her child-like innocence and distinct lack of a backbone that got under people's skin. but she couldn't help it. dani was raised to be submissive and it was just a part of her wiring to want to please other people. "my best friend would probably tell you that i work too much and sleep too little. and he'd probably say that i'm obnoxious and clingy. that i talk to much but am godawful at being mean or rude or anything like that. then there are some other people that would tell you i'm fake. that there's no way i could be so happy all the time. it really just depends on the person you ask." she shrugged, not too sure what else to say. dani knew that her radiant exterior could be a little much for some people to deal with, but that's just who she was. all smiles and ready to befriend anyone who give her the time of day. do you agree with what people say about you? these questions about her personality and who she was was really starting to confuse her. mostly because she quite honestly had no idea who she was. never had and probably never truly would. for the first eighteen years of her life, dani had to be (or try to be) the perfect daughter that her parents wanted her to be. smart, talented, polite. she supposed that technically she was those things... but did they define her? probably not. there was a lot more to her than people probably suspected. yes, it was true that she was submissive and also true that she was hyper and obnoxious and overly friendly. none of that was a lie, but there was a lot underneath the surface that she was hiding. there was a lot of pain underneath the smiles and so many secrets that she was hiding from everyone. some of the time she would be ashamed of herself and embarrassed of just how weak she truly was. there was always this pressure to be the right kind of perfect hanging in the back of her mind, driving her completely crazy because she could never get it right. she hardly ever slept just so she could get things done, and then she hung out with friends to distract herself from the things that upset her. there was a lot going on in her head and there were so many sides to her that no one person was wrong when they described her... they just didn't have all the pieces to the puzzle. "yeah, i guess i could agree with the things people say about me. i mean, i am pretty bouncy and hyper and annoying most of the time. i wouldn't really say that i'm fake... because i'd like to think that i'm a genuine person but that might just be bias opinion? i don't know. i just don't think that a lot of people see all sides of me. they just see this chatty blonde who probably doesn't have much depth to her, which isn't really true at all. guess it just depends on how close i get to a person or something." dani bit her lip and shrugged her shoulders. it was becoming increasingly difficult for her to sit still in her chair. she was uncomfortable and uncertain of the things she was saying anymore. the walls of the room were closing in on her and she just wanted out. but she still managed to keep her place and smile, trying very hard to be polite and respectful. it shouldn't be long now before she could leave. well i still think you have a certain something, not really sure what that is but i bet your boyfriend knows or are you still on the market? "um... i'm not really sure what my boyfriend would tell you about me." there would probably be a whole lot of negative. he would say that she was immature and unreliable. that she had no sense of direction in her life and that he was constantly working to get her to set her goals straight. maybe he would call her beautiful or list a few things about her that he liked, but dani was convinced that kurt didn't like her much. he did, after all, abuse her. he probably didn't know much about her at all, but that was her own fault. she pretended to be someone she wasn't whenever he was around. trying her hardest to fit whatever mold she thought would make him the happiest. if this woman wanted someone to talk to someone who knew the most about her... she would be better off talking to her brother or... liam. he was technically her 'best friend' but they were constantly hanging dangerously close to the edge of being something more than that. of course she knew that he loved her, but her fear of kurt and what he might do kept her from changing anything. shit, time flies. my next appointment will be here in a few minutes. it was a pleasure to meet you! attempting to show some restraint, dani rose slowly from her seat "oh, definitely! i had a great time speaking with you!" before she left, dani smiled cheerfully and waved goodbye. as soon as she exited the room, she felt the urge to heck her phone for any missed called or messages, but she resisted. she didn't want to know how mad kurt was with her or how much of an airhead he thought she was. so instead of looking, she pulled out her keys and climbed into her car with every intention of driving to liam's apartment where she would curl up on his bed and sleep until he came home from work. |
