Chapter 6

If I could turn back the clock

Duncan's P.O.V

"Morning, sleepyhead." I smiled smugly at Courtney. She had spent all night at my bedside, sleeping in the uncomfortable infirmary chair. I spent most of the night watching her, not being able to sleep in case I actually woke up. I was still having a hard time believing that she was finally back in my life. Hopefully she would stay there this time. I had spent ten years waiting for her; it was worth it.

"Huh?" She rubbed her onyx eyes and stretched out in the chair before finaly realizing that I was the one beside her. Obviously she wasn;t used to waking up to me. "Duncan, are you okay?" She immediatly asked, moving from the chair to the bed. She moved a hand to my head where I'd fallen. It hurt, but in a good way.

"I'm fine." I laughed at her caring action's, taking her hand in mine and moving it away from my head. When silence overtook us, she blushed. I only smiled at her more. She was still Courtney Garcia. The girl I remembered from my teen years. She hadn't changed an awful lot, I still recognized her and she clearly had, had no problem recognizing me.

"We should talk." I said, swinging myself out of bed and pulling on a shirt. But, before I did, I saw her eyeing up my abs. "Like what you see?" I teased. It was like when we were younger all over again. I had loved those days of waking up beside Courtney in her hotel bed and, call it an inkling, I knew she missed them too.

"...Whatever!" Courtney stumbled out. I chuckled to myself. She was still the same girl I had met ten years ago. "We do need to talk, though."

Bex's P.O.V

Mom had spent the night out. I had no idea where she was, but I wasn't too concerned for her. Okay, she refused to tell me where, but not concerned, all the same. I had to stay with Bridgette at her house. I'd only just met the girl, but mom had known her for years. I liked her. She was really friendly and caring and loving. And her boyfriend, who she lived with, was really funny. He's an actor, too. Geoff Harrison. I naturally knew him from some big time movies, but I had never met him before. All in all, I had a good night.

Bridgette took me back to the studio in the morning, only to find out that I still had no costumes for the show. It was annoying having to watch everybody else acting and not being able to myself. It was like being taken to McDonalds and not able to tip coke over the brat behind you! Most of the time, I sat in DJ's chair reading my script while everyone was setting up the backdrops and props and everything that goes with that. For the main character who the movie was named after, I had harldy any lines. It was mostly 'my parents' getting it on. Eww. Seriously, eww!

"Yo, lil' girl?" I looked up from my script to see some old man standing in front of me. He was wearing an open blue shirt with a white vest underneath and tanned kaki's. His black hair was greying, so you could tell he was getting on in is age. But he was fighting it like there was no tomorrow. Which there may not have been for him...No, seriously. He was THAT old!

"What?" I replied harshly. I hated being interupted by people who think they know best. i.e. Adults and other grown up type people.

"You need to get out of here!" He yelled, obviously not someone who should work with kids.

"Make me!" I screamed back. When the old man didn't reply, I decided to see how far I could test his patience. "Who are you anyway?" To be honest, I didn't know exactly who he was, anyway.

"W-WHO AM I?" He shouted, face starting to go red. I wanted to start laughing, but that would have broken the purpose of it. So I kept my face deadly straight. "I THINK THE QUESTIN IS, WHO ARE YOU?"

"I'm Rebecca Evers, the best child actress on the planet." I smiled smugly at him, hoping to knock some sort of sense through to his very little brain.

"I'm Chris McLean! A better actor than you will ever be." He shot me a similar look back, but I knew how to handle people like him. I had been in the business long enough to know how to cope in that situation.

"Well, DUH! Girls are actresses, not actors."I replied sarcatsically. "Plus, you may have botox every other day, but you could NEVER pass as a child actor, whcih was what I said I am!" I think that did it. The cup of coffee he had been holding in his hand had burst. His fingers had dug right through the foam cup thing it had been in. I didn't hesistate to do a runner on that part. I could see he wasn't against hurting innocent children.

I had no idea where I was going, but I just kept running. When I finally stopped, I found myself in a new part of the massive studio. I was slumped on the floor and when I looked up I saw a sign that read 'infirmary' in bright red letters. At least I didn't have to go far if I had an ashma attack from all the exercise I had just done. I wasn't one for things like that. Give me a TV and a video game anyday.

I was about to continue moving down the corridor, crawling because my knee caps had caved in, when I heard a voice come from inside the nurses station. It wasn't just any voice, either. It was Duncan.

"Why would you think I wouldn't want her?" He asked. I shuffled across the passage way and pressed my ear against the open door.

"You were a player, a stud. I didn't want to ruin your reputation with a kid." It was mom. And, by the sound of her voice, she was crying. I hated it when mom cried. She usually did it in secret, but I always comforted her. I wanted to comfort her then, but I didn't want to give away my position. And I wanted to see where the conversation was going.

"Court, that is ridiculous. I loved you. I still do! I would do anything for you, including help raise our daughter." Duncan paused and sighed before continuing with his mini-speech. "Ever since Bex told me she didn't have a father, I kept thinking about what a scum bag, jack-assed, bastard that guy was. Bex is the most adventuarous, outgoing, funny, charismatic girl I have ever met. And now, I find out that guy is me."

"If I could turn back the clock, Duncan, I would." Mom swallowed hard and I didn't have to look to know she was scared, worried. Her voice was clear enough to me.

"And do what? Stop us from doing what we did that night? Why would you want to do that, Court?" Was Duncan actually concerne or was I still delerious from all the excercise I had endured? "Bex is the best thing that ever happened to you. I can see it in your eye's, Court. You love Bex with all your heart, you wouldn't want to change that."

Silence. I didn't like the silence. It gave me time to think and I didn't want time to think. So when mom and Duncan started talking again, I pushed all thoughts that buried my mind away.

"So, now what?" Mom asked, obviously as stumped about the situation as the rest of us. Which was strange. Mom always knew what to do. And when she didn't know what to do, the whole world stopped and went into an eternal panic.

"I don't know. I really don't know." Duncan answered. "We have to tell Bex the truth."

"No!" Mom quickly replied, "It would crush her!" I took that as my opputunity to get noticed.

"Too late!" I shouted, running into the darkness of the corridor.

"BEX!" I heard my mother calling me, but I kept running. I didn't want to face her, I didn't want to face Duncan. I wanted to be as far away from the two of them as possible.

When I stopped running this time, I was in an abandoned part of the studio. I wasn't quite sure how I had got there, but everything was dust covered. That way I knew no one would find me ever again. I took a seat on the floor in the corner and started crying. I never cry. But, at that moment, my whole world had seemed to have changed in one converstaion. THAT I WASN'T EVEN APART OF! I found out my idol was really my dad, my mom had lied to me my whole life and that neither of them were gonna tell me the truth.

Courtney's P.O.V.

I sat on the floor by the side of the sofa that Bex was lying on. After she heard everything that went down between Duncan and I, she had run off crying. Luckily, Duncan went after her. He found her asleep, soaked by her own tears, in one of the old film lots. I was grateful to him for that. However, that didn't change the fact I didn't want him in Bex's life. I know I sound like I'm being a horrible, uptight, selfish mother, but I'm not. I only want what's best for my daughter and I knew that Duncan wasn't it. If anyone knew Duncan the way I did, they'd understand why I was doing it.

Bex stretched out in her place, yawning herself awake. It took her a few moments to realize where she was, "Mom?" She sat up and looked around, before throwing herself back down. "Why am I here?" Arms folded across her chest, no eye contact with me; I could tell she was mad that she'd been brought back to her dressing room.

"Du-We found you in an old film lot and brought you back here." I corrected myself from saying his name. "Bex, you weren't meant to here what was said last night."

"I know I wasn't, but I'm glad I did." She got up from the sofa and made her way to the door. But when she saw the suitcases she froze. "Mom, why are our suitcases paked?"

"I'm pulling you out of the movie. There's been too much drama here already." I explained, knowing she was only going to hate me even more. But this had to be done. I was only thinking about Bex. "We're going to go home and see if there are any other movie offers for you."

"NO!" Bex yelled at me. "I want to stay on this movie!" She ran out the door, pushing the suitcases out the way.

"BEX!" I called after her, but she had gone. And chances were she wasn't coming back anytime soon.

Bex's P.O.V.

It was time to put on my best acting skills. There was no way I was letting mom take me out of this movie. I loved this movie. Even if I hadn't filmed any of it yet...I'd already learnt all my lines and made so many new friends. I didn't want her take it all away from me before I'd even got any of it. So Duncan was here. I didn't see what the big deal was and I was determined to make sure he didn't ruin it for me.

I saw DJ sitting in her director chair, going over some paperwork. I knew exactly what to do. I started thinking about when my mom's aunt Clara died two years previous. It was the sadest memory I had as I had, had a pretty decent childhood. Soon I found tears were rolling off my cheeks and I made a dash for DJ.

"DJ!" I cried, jumping into his arms. "Mommy want's to take me off the move. Don't let her do it! Please, please, don't let her take me away!" DJ cradled me in his arms. I loved DJ like he was my grandfather or something. He was always in a good mood. Friendly, funny. And he knew exactly how to make me feel better. Grandfather material.

"It's okay, Bex." He cooed. "There'll be other movies." Not helping.

"Other movies!" I shouted, pulling away from the embrace. "But, I want to be in this movie!" I started crying even harder. This time it was real tears, though. I really didn't want to be taken away from this movie.

"DJ, please go talk to her. Please!" I begged. DJ took one look at my pleading eyes and sighed. He was like putty in my hands.

"Alright." He sighed, "I'll see if I can talk some sense into her."I hugged him tightly.

"Thank you." I whispered in DJ's ear, jumping down from his lap for him to go talk to mom. I knew going to DJ had been the best idea I had ever had. There was no way I was going to be taken off the movie. I just knew it!

Courtney's P.O.V.

"Come in!" I called. DJ walked into Bex's dressing room. Bex must have gone to DJ for help. I was still sitting on the floor by the sofa. I didn't have the strength to move, after everything that happened, I wasn't able to. I wanted to pretend that none of it was real. That all of it was just a nightmare and I'd wake up my old sixteen-year-old self again. But I knew that wasn't going to happen. My life was real. The nightmare was real.

"Court, you can't pull Bex out of the movie." DJ sat beside me on the floor and pulled me into a hug. Tears started to fall from my eye's and stain his shirt, but let me stay there, holding onto me tightly. "Bex really wants to stay in this 't let Duncan ruin it all for you." He was right. Duncan was already messing with me and Bex. He always got what he wanted, always won the wars. There was no way I'd let him win this one.

"And..." He whispered gently, "I still have an open part for you." DJ tempted me. I smiled devioulsy into his shirt. Now, I couldn't refuse that offer. It was an offer to annoy the hell out of Duncan. And what was more fun than that?
