A/N: I suggest you guys listen to Cold War Kids- Drive Desperate. I listened to this whilst writing this!

TAISSA'S POV:

I can't believe I haven't slept a wink. Its script rehearsals tomorrow and I am so terrified. I keep picturing Ryan's email in my head..

'Hello Darling! Here are the basics for what you need to know, We will all be filming in New Orleans this year! How exciting is that? This season is about Witches, a Coven to be exact, as expected by the name this is more of a girls season, though we always find a place for our lovely boys don't we? You're playing a girl named Zoe Benson whose boyfriend has just died at the hands of yourself, due to unforeseen circumstances and your mother whisks you away to an academy, an academy for young witches, I believe thats all you need to know for now.. you'll find out more tomorrow! Script rehearsals 1.30pm Studio A, you know where to go. See you then Taissa! Lovely having you back. Yours, Ryan Murphy & Brad Falchuk.'

I knew he was going to be there, he was always going to be there. Nobody said this wasn't going to be difficult.

I jumped up out of bed, I had already gotten a shower due to not sleeping at all, so I was just lounging around waiting for time to pass, god it was going so slowly!

'Hey V, I'm heading out for script reading.' I announced whisking through the kitchen to grab a waffle and then heading right towards the door.

'Alright sweet, ring me if you need me.' Vera sang, she was far too involved in her cop crime drama to turn around and actually look at me. Who the hell shows cop crime dramas at 1pm?

-25 minutes later-

Just breathe.. I told myself as I was standing outside of the studio. They were all in there.. He was in there.

I took a second to pat down my jeans, I looked pretty good today, or so I thought. I never usually go shopping but since I've been back in LA thats all I've seemed to have done, my favourite shop was easily Topshop, casual but sweet. I chuckled nervously as I opened the door.

Here goes.

EVAN'S POV:

-5 minutes before Taissa entered-

'Emma I said I was sorry! Its only a bagel, if it bothers you that much I'll go back to the bakery..' I sighed, I was so tired of this.. why did she always complain?

'No.. No whats done is done, you didn't mean to drop it baby its okay' She smiled sweetly.

After that I knew I had forgiven her, if I didn't that just meant more arguments and I really couldn't be bothered with that.

'Alright guys!' Ryan called, pushing everybody to sit around the table. 'Now, not everybody is here yet and I am EVER so excited to wait for my special one, its a pleasant surprise for everybody here I should imagine..' He went on and on, I just wanted to know who was being added to the cast, though I couldn't deny I enjoyed the new cast this year.

..'To those who are new to American Horror Story this year; welcome!' Brad sang, pointing towards Emma, Angela, Gabourey, Kathy and a couple of others. 'This year is exciting, If you take a look in front of you there a files with each of your names on, take those and have a look, these are your...' Brad was interrupted by the door opening, I couldn't actually believe my eyes.

'Am I late?' her voice trembled with nerves, it was always easy to tell when she was nervous, when she was anything. I couldn't take my eyes off of her, they were glued to her perfect little face.

'Taissa! No! come on you're just on time!' Ryan exclaimed with joy. 'Guys! She's back!' Brad sang, standing up from his seat to guide Taissa to hers.

'Hey' I found myself saying across the table, I could feel Emma's eyes burning into the side of my face, but for once I actually didn't care.

She looked across to me as I said it whilst she sat down.. She didn't say a word back. That hurt like a bitch.

TAISSA'S POV:

-1 hour later-

It was so hard not to look at him during that whole meeting, I knew he was looking at me, but if I looked back... that was it, I'd be hooked all over again.

I knew all about him and Emma, I had no idea she was working this season, it makes things easier I guess.. Knowing his girlfriend was working here, no room for trouble.

'Taissa, I'm so glad you're back!' Jessica told me as she was walking past me to her car. 'Thanks' I mumbled back, too late of course, she was already getting into her car when I finally replied.

He hadn't come out yet, I was glad, I wanted to be gone before he did, but my ride still wasn't here.

'Hey girl!' I heard a familiar voice call out behind me, I spun around.

'Gabby!' I grinned like crazy, I hadn't seen Gabourey for about 2 years, She's so awesome I was thankful I knew a friendly face in that room.. a face I knew before I knew the faces in this show.

She gave me a warm hug. 'Girl I had no idea you were coming back! Why didn't you call me?' She questioned

'Well, to be quite honest I only decided a day or two ago I'd come back.. besides I had no idea you were a part of the cast! I'm really glad you are though!' I sang, doing my best attempt at happy Taissa.

'Me too Tai, me too. So..' she started, her perky loud voice turning into a whisper.

'So?' I repeated, turning my voice into a whisper too.

'So.. How are you coping? knowing your ex man is here? and with his bitchy girlfriend no less.' She said, with absolutely no hesitation.

'Bitchy?' I repeated, gossip mode just turned right on, like a fly to a light.

'Hell yeah girl, she's mad crazy, drama follows her wherever she goes, I mean...' She was interrupted by a honk.

'Come on baby!' Jake called out from his car.

'Baby?' Gabourey giggled. 'Tell me Tai, is this your new man candy?' she sang, slapping her lips together.

I laughed. 'Yeah, I guess he is.'

I hugged her goodbye after exchanging numbers and jumped into the car.. just in time, He walked out.

EVAN'S POV:

'Emma come on we really should leave' I pressed, I was eager to get outside, to see if she was still there.

'In a second baby, I'm just speaking to Lily, can't you see that?' She scoffed in response.

'Yeah.. Yeah.' I replied, clearly pissed off.

Why did I have to wait around for her? I'd prefer to leave right now and leave her here talking to Lily, that just meant I could speak to Taissa alone, but no. I couldn't do that, she wants me to wait here with her.. Whats the point?

10 minutes later and she was finally done talking, finally!

'Whats the rush Evan?' She questioned as we were heading towards the door.

'Theres no..' I stopped in the middle of a sentence as I swung the door open, just in time to see Taissa jump into a car.. a car with Jake.

JAKE?! I screamed inside of my head. JAKE? She told me she was completely done with that asshole! Is he really her boyfriend? He doesn't deserve her!

'..Rush.' I finished, watching the car drive away.
