Los Angeles was the ugliest cities I had seen in a long time. With dirty streets and massive traffic jams, which only made you want to get high until you woke up in another city like New York or Miami.

I was there as a tourist, wearing a nice backpack which contained water and my purse, and of course a Nikon photographic camera. I had managed to escape my family from Las Vegas and managed to take a direct bus to LA. I was not surprised by any of it, I was kind of regretting my decision and I was wanting to go back to my parents with an apology in hand.

The day was cloudy and the surroundings were humid, it smelled like weed and the streets were empty, making me wonder where everybody was. The beach had some people at least, none of them sunbathing, of course, there was a skateboard course with some blonde teenagers, and a beautiful African woman singing with her guitar. 388Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PE3j3BLsv
I approached the woman and gave her a coin, she smiled at me and continued singing for a while. I stood there, hungry and with no plans. I pulled out my phone and I was willing to search for usual touristic places to go when I suddenly hear a commotion.

A commotion in LA could mean two things: one, a crazy person was wanting to talk about the end of the world, or second: they were famous. I started looking at my surroundings and saw him, Liam Hemsworth.
I had seen the guy in films before but could not remember in which. All I knew about him was that he had divorced with his wife and now was single. Liam as in pictures was very handsome. I actually expected him to be more fat but his body was rather well built and slim. I barely looked at him and decided to leave the beach. Soon I stopped near an Starbucks, I entered and ate some lunch. Soon I left the shop without realising I left my backpack on the side of the table.
Outside I took pictures distractedly of my surroundings, I ordered a uber with my phone to see the Hollywood sign and I also took pictures of that. I entered a shop and when I was about to pay for my typical touristic shirt, I realised I didn't have my backpack.
Completely ashamed I decided to go to the Starbucks to retrieve my backpack, if it still was there. I thought immediately what I was going to tell my parents, yes, I am 25 years old and I lost my backpack as an idiot. I went to LA without your consent and now I don't have any cash. I at least had my phone and my card connected to Uber, which meant I could go back to Las Vegas, but at what cost.
I prayed for my backpack to be back there, my purse had all my business cards and more specially, a gold ring my dead grandmother had given me, which I had to fix to fit in my finger but had forgotten because I was a lazy ass.
My phone rang when I was close enough.
"Is this Amelia?" asked the voice.
"Yeah, this is her." I replied, the Uber stopped in front of the shop, and I got out of the car.
From outside, I saw Liam holding my backpack, and of course, he was the caller.
"I think you left your backpack in Starbucks, I just found it..." said him as I approached the door.
"Yeah, I can see you with it, thank you so much" I said.
Liam looked at me and gave me a big smile, he hung up.
"Here it is." said Liam, his voice didn't sound traditionally American, but it also didn't sound foreign. I reckon he had been so long in the US that his accent was blurred with the rest.
"Thank you Liam." I said, I felt it was stupid not to call him by his name when I knew it and I actually felt a little bit star-struck. I wanted to ask how was Miley, but again, they were divorced, and the 14 year old in me wasn't into Hannah Montana anyways. "Let me get you a drink please, you kinda deserve it...I was losing my mind." He ultimately said yes, I ordered two iced coffees.
"It appears to me we both know our names," I said jokingly, he smiled a little and have a little laugh.
"You are Amelia Jones, the lawyer and of course I am Liam the Actor that people know." He said.
"Well, if you never need a lawyer, then you know who to call." I say, winking.
"I will keep that in mind, thank you." he said, then looked outside. "what do you think of LA, it's a weird place right?"
"Yeah, I never imagined I would meet an actor just like that...it is ugly though, sorry not sorry. At least there are some good people in it, that's the impression I got." I say. Liam drank a bit of his coffee and left it again in the table.
"I originally come from Australia, never figured I would be living in this city for so long, I like it though, looks pretty good at night, and I still get to do surfing and life is good." He says.
"Is that why you were around this area? Aren't you scared of fans?" I asked, I was looking for paparazzi but none were around.
Liam smiled broadly, and then looked at me. "Somebody probably took a picture of us together, and soon it will appear in the LA gossip magazines... I am not scared, I guess if I were more famous, I would have to stay away but, I am a regular person like you...I suppose so I am okay. Soon it is going to be the release of other of the films I do do most likely I will stay away, or who knows, maybe I can suit them and use you as my lawyer." with that Liam stole a laugh of me.
So what happened next? Liam actually hired me as his Lawyer and we are friends to thus day.
