I Dare You (The Line Up, #1)

by Misti Murphy

“You should go out and get it, girl,” Ebony says. It makes me laugh. “She already has,” Ness croons. “Look at that smile. She’s in love.” “I still don’t get it,” Cam says. “How could you live like that for years?” “I didn’t know any different when we started. It was in my contract. Honestly, I had no clue who I was until recently.” I fake smile. “It doesn’t matter how I feel about acting, I’m finally happy. I can’t go back to that version of Hayley.” “You shouldn’t have to,” Ebony says. “But you shouldn’t have to give up something you love either.” “Girl, look at you. You are strong.” Ness takes my hands in hers. “You went through some stuff, and you came out the other side. You’ve grown into yourself. You’ve got your crown on. I’m guessing you’ve got a man who supports you too. And nobody can take that away from you, but you. If you want to be an actress again, do it. But do it for you.” “And maybe all those little girls that need to know they can be anything and anybody they want to be,” Cam adds. “And that us women can overcome anything.”
