Description: Harrison Wells is a famous movie director going through a messy divorce. His life is about to get even more complicated as he finds himself falling for the lead actress in his newest project.

The moment Caitlin Snow walked into the room for her audition, his whole world was thrown off balance. Harrison Wells was a famous director, about to make the very first movie based entirely on the script of his own creation. As that wasn't enough pressure, he was just getting through an expensive divorce while having a teenage daughter in her rebellious phase. Adding to the mix this absolutely beautiful and even more talented actress who was so much younger than he himself was probably wasn't a good idea, but the thing was that once she started acting out the scene, he couldn't see anyone else landing this role but her. She was simply perfect, nailing her lines, making her character come to life, portraying her just as she'd appeared in Harrison's mind while he'd been writing the script.

He was watching her play right in front of him in awe, his eyes never leaving her face and he could tell that at some point she started to feel self-conscious, just once meeting his gaze before her eyes flit away, her voice, yet, never wavered. He truly admired that since she managed to keep her cool under his all-too-observant scrutiny and she didn't mess anything up. She possessed some real talent and the moment she thanked them all for their consideration and left the room, Wells immediately reached for her papers, too eager to find out who she was and in what movies she'd recently played.

He was surprised to see the list being so short. Miss Snow started as a TV show actress, but unfortunately the series was quickly cancelled, not even given a proper ending. Next, she starred in two low budget horror movies and some indie. The last one Harrison was interested in, quickly scanning the rest of the list and eventually sighing heavily when bringing a hand to his forehead and rubbing there.

"Yeah, she's not really popular, that one," his assistant offered his input. "If you were willing to bet on her, that would be a grand risk. This is a lead role and it needs to be carried out perfectly if we want the movie to…"

"Oh, will you just shut up already?" Harrison asked the guy. "Ramon, what do I even pay you for?!" he snapped.

"Assisting? Which I'm doing?" Cisco asked in a strangely low voice.

"Not this kind. I'm the expert here and I say…"

"Mr. Wells, we don't have time," he heard coming from his other side. "The next girl is all ready and if we want to keep with up the schedule..."

"No need," he suddenly announced when getting up from his chair and reaching for his jacket.

"But…"

"There's no need, because I've already seen everything. We got our lead actress. We won't be sitting here and wasting our time," he informed and headed to the door.

"What? But…" the woman was speechless.

"Do you actually dare question me? The company gave me a free hand to decide whom I want to hire and I'm telling you, the girl who just walked in here is Sara from my script. Hire her. Now we just have to find the lead guy." After that, he walked through the door, leaving the two remaining people just staring after him with their mouths hanging open.

As Harrison stepped into the hall, all the girls in there immediately started speaking at once, but he ignored them, making his way through the crowd and changing his glasses for dark ones as he pushed the door open and walked outside. He still had to meet his lawyer to find out how much his divorce would actually cost. Truly, those days he had no idea what had possessed him to get married at such a young age. Ok, Tess had gotten pregnant and he wanted to be the noble hero, maybe even one that could come straight from all the movies he'd been watching when growing up. Sadly, as he slowly climbed his career ladder, becoming a popular director, he also started to see life for what it truly was. And it was no movie. Most of the times anyways.

He was pretty much ruined. It seemed to be official.

He refused to stay in an unhappy marriage for even one more second and he really didn't have the strength to run to the court every single damn time his soon-to-be ex wife disagreed about something. She was already getting the LA house with everything in it and their daughter with pretty substantial alimony. Now, if he didn't make this upcoming move a success, he would be more than just broke. He would actually be finished. Still, he needed to take the risk because he'd been suffocating for years and couldn't stand this feeling any longer. The scrip he'd written during that time and eventually perfected was his first and he truly hoped he could turn it into his best movie yet. It was about a common guy living in a mundane world and suddenly gaining powers. Despite the way it sounded, it wasn't just another superhero movie. In fact, the science fiction slash supernatural parts were the smallest as it was more about the main character and his growth and struggle. And the woman he was in love with and probably could never have. It was scheduled to be released next summer so Harrison really needed to hurry up to find a lead actor. Otherwise he might be late and in his present circumstances, he just couldn't afford such a setback.

Just then he received a call and without checking the ID caller, he picked up, thinking it was his lawyer, "I already said it's a deal! I just want an out!" he screamed.

"What are you talking about, Harry?" the voice on the other side clearly did not belong to whom he expected. In fact, it sounded more like one of his boss's, the head of the studio that was funding his project. "I hope you don't mean that about the movie."

"Oh, of course not, Mr. Stein!" Harry quickly denied, scratching his head nervously as he got into his car. He really felt like cursing, but that wouldn't make his whole situation better, so he refrained himself from it. "I thought it was someone else… Everything's going great with the movie. I just found the lead actress! You're going to love her! She's amazing!"

"That's good news," Stein said and then added, "you can stop looking for the lead actor, though. I found him."

"Come again?" Harry froze with the car key already in the ignition. "I thought I was given a free hand at choosing…" Could this day get any worse? He thought then, already feeling the ground disappearing from under his feet.

He should have known it was all too good to be true. That the initial deal was too good. Now Stein found out about his divorce and his personal problems and he couldn't afford for this movie to fail. Otherwise Wells would end up being in debt to the company instead of bringing it profit.

"So, let me get this straight," Harrison finally said during his meeting with Stein. He tried hard to keep both his voice and attitude at bay, but once people started interfering with the scrip that he wrote himself, he was bound to be pissed. "You suddenly changed your mind and now you want me to give you a summer blockbuster? With a lead actor who's currently the hottest star out there? Does Allen even have talent?"

"You tell me. You must've seen him in something…"

Harrison hesitated, truly not knowing how to let Stein know that he wasn't exactly following those kind of movies.

"Listen, Harrison, we're in a tight spot right now, so you either take the deal or leave it. But let me tell you that it's a good one! It's the answer to all of your problems! I let you hire that unknown actress and you let me put Barry Allen in the lead. You will make some room in this heartbreaking movie for cool fights, let your protagonist's powers manifest some more and we have a deal. In fact, it's gonna be like killing two birds with one stone. You get your big break as a writer and I got my summer hit. Deal?"

Wells sighed, seeing that he had no choice in the matter when considering his divorce and calling the whole thing off wasn't even an option. He was sick of the woman he'd pledged to spend his entire life with. The truth was that he didn't love her. Maybe he didn't even know what love was, which was ironic, truly, as his movie was romantic.

"Deal," he reluctantly agreed, shaking Stein's hand, because truly, what other choice did he have?"

Barely did Caitlin get home that day, having the worst of feelings in her guts that she'd failed majorly and would never be the kind of an actress she dreamt of being; she received a phone call. At first she was even reluctant to pick it up, because who that could be, really? Her agent informing of yet another audition she had to go to so she could fail again? She just felt so stupid! She'd done her research before stepping into that room today. She'd seen Harrison Wells's movies and was at awe with every single one of them. In fact, he quickly became one of her favorite directors and working for him would be both a dream come true and a big break for her. And she screwed up. And it all happened because of his blue eyes. Seriously, she'd never before in her entire life had the pleasure to gaze into such radiant azures, but it was also a mistake that probably caused her the role. It wasn't as though she had a strong chance to even begin with when it came to her previous movies that were so bad she wanted to cry but had no other choice but to star in each and every single one of them if she wanted to pay rent and have food on the table.

Maybe it was time to give up. Maybe it was time to call it quits and find herself some real job as her parents insisted she should.

The phone kept on ringing, so she eventually grabbed it and asked angrily, "What?!"

There was stunned silence on the other side before some guy asked, "Is this Caitlin Snow?"

"Um… yes?" she answered with a question, frowning because this seemed like something different. It wasn't an audition invitation. Could it actually be…?

"This is Cisco Ramon calling on behalf of Harrison Wells. I have the pleasure to tell you that you got the role."

This time it was Cait's turn to be speechless. Eventually, she gasped, "Wh… what?" Oh, great, truly! She would soon make them all rethink why they should hire her if she couldn't even form a coherent sentence!

"You're Sara. Congratulations. Can we expect you in the studio tomorrow so you could read over a contract and sign it?"

"Con… contract? Already? Don't you want like… a follow up audition or…?" Caitlin was truly stunned and thought she was either dreaming or this was a prank call.

"Um… normally, yes, that would be the case, but Mr. Wells was adamant on giving the role to you. In fact, he left right after you auditioned, saying he already found the right person for the job. So, will you be there?"

Harrison Wells liked her based on those few minutes she spent in his company? Based on that one scene she played out? She was shaken. Astonished. How was that even possible? Her head quickly started to spin as she ran over all her lines and things and gestures she'd done on that audition. Was she really that good?

"You're not pulling my leg or something?" she just had to ask that Ramon guy one more time.

"Oh, I wouldn't dare! I know firsthand how hard it is to make it in this business. I wouldn't play with your emotions like this. So, can you be here at nine?"

"Of course I can!" Caitlin exclaimed happily. "Oh, my God! I can't believe it!"

Cisco actually laughed. "Believe it, girl! It's your time to shine! See you tomorrow!"

He hung up and she couldn't help it. She squealed when jumping high up into the air. She got the role! She was going to work for Harrison Wells!
