《We Weren't Acting》Chapter 5 - Zoned Out
Advertisement
"You and Chris are amazing, I wish one day I'm the lead in a movie, just like you!" Ruby exclaimed.
We just finished the first take in the movie five minutes ago. It only took us five hours to wrap these scenes up.
Me and Chris did great today, Liam said that you could feel our growing friendship in the air while shooting.
Chris is an amazing person to work with.
Don't get me wrong I knew he was amazing before we started filming, but I didn't think he could get better.
All-day during shooting he would help me with my lines if I forgot them, he would make my coffee for me in the break room when I was in the washroom, on our break.
However, he's a down-to-earth guy. Do you know those guys that think they're the king of the world? That everything has to revolve around them?
He's the complete opposite, he's so caring. I've only known him for a week and a half, and I can tell he puts others before himself all the time.
I'm so blessed to work with such an amazing person.
My daydream thoughts are interrupted when Ruby toches my arm to get my attention.
"Hey did you hear anything I said?"
"Sorry Ruby I zoned out, I tend to do that a lot."
"Oh okay." She said with a small frown, "I was just saying that you inspire me to be who you are today."
"My life isn't all sunshine and rainbows you know?" I said with a small smile waking to my dressing room.
"But you act like it is.
"Because I'm a great actor," I said with a small smile, I grabbed my dressing rooms doorknob and twisted it open. "No one in the world is perfect Ru, please remember that because if you don't your going to get hurt, and you're never going to be happy"

With that, I walked into the room and closed the door. I glanced at myself in the mirror and let out a sigh. My life is far from being perfect, I feel lost on the inside.
My mom always told me when I was younger to count my blessings when I was upset and felt sorry about myself.
I always got pissed off at her when she would say that to me, but in a way she's right. I'm so blessed to have everything in my life. However, at the end of the day, some people don't realize that money and fame don't always bring happiness.
And let me tell you I have a good amount of money, and I get chased by paparazzi when I'm out, but I still feel empty on the inside.
One stupid mistake and I'm still feeling the burning, twisting pain in my heart. I feel like everything I do reminds me of that night, and I hate it. I just want the pain to stop, I want to wake up happy.
I need this to stop.
"Hey, you left your phone in the break room," Chris says storming into the room, he quickly glances at my tear-stained face and walks towards me. "Hey, hey what's wrong?"
"Nothing just stabbed my eyes with my mascara wand," I said waving him off when he tries to touch my cheeks.
"How stupid do you think I am?"
"As stupid as a Donkey?" I said with a small smile.
"Haha, your so funny." He said with an annoyed look on his face, "Stop changing the subject, and tell me why you were looking in the mirror and crying to yourself."
"Just thinking about something from the past," I said as I grabbed my phone from his hand. "And I don't like talking about it, so please don't ask."

He quickly nods and sits at the edge of my vanity that I'm standing in front of, "I know we just met each other but I wanna give you advice" He says with a gentle smile on his face, "Keeping your feelings in only makes it worse, talking about it feels like weight will be lifted off your shoulders." He said with a small smile. "I just met you and I already feel a connection towards you, I don't fancy seeing you crying while looking in the mirror."
"Talking about it hurts."
"Then let me help you," He pleads while placing his hands on my cheeks.
"Chris I don't need your help." I mumble, "I just need some space right now."
"Space will make it worse."
"That's nothing new to me, don't worry about me," I said with a sad smile on my lips.
I stepped back so his hands will fall away from my cheeks.
"Why do you care so much anyway?" I questioned, "You said we just met each other."
"Because I get attached to people easily. When I met you I saw how beautiful you are, And I thought to myself how the heck am I not going to catch feelings? I don't know what it is about you, but I feel this energy whenever I'm with you" He looks down at his feet, "I can't get you out of my head."
Wait for real?
Chris is catching feelings for me already?
I mean I knew this could happen eventually, actors a lot of the times fall for their coworkers, but this is way too fast.
Don't get me wrong Chris is easy to fall for, he's a gentleman, he's sweet and hardworking. However, we have to keep our relationship professional, or else I'm afraid we'll both get hurt.
How was it?
