"SELENA!", Lenny called from his directors seat, breaking her from her
trance.

"HUH?", Selena jerked back to reality, removing her hand from Nick's
chest.

"You missed your line, hun.", He informed her with a worried visage. For
any other actor, missing a line wouldn't be a big deal it was just—-She'd
never missed a line. Never.

"Oh Sorry.", She apologized. "I guess I'm just a little out of you
give me a minute?"

"Yeah. Sure. Take however long you need.", Lenny insisted.

Nick watched as she quickly brushed passed him and out the stage doors.
She seemed so distraught and confused, all he wanted to do was run out
and make sure she was alright. And then, before he could realize, his feet
were moving in her direction, but something stopped him—-or rather,
someone—Taylor, who was already following close behind her.

. . . . .

She sat outside, steadying her breathe. She hadn't just missed her line;
She'd forgotten in it completely. In that moment, she had no words to say.
It was as if all her thoughts had been disinigrated and her physical state
was left living in the warmth of his gaze.

"Stop.", she reminded herself. "This feeling won't last.", She mumbled.
She couldn't allow herself to feel anything for him. It's just acting. One big,
continuous act.

She felt someones presence looming behind her and took a deep breath to
prepare herself for whoever was to come.

"You okay?", She heard the voice that would normally make her whole
body weak—the voice of the man that would bring her a rush a
excitement. But not in that instant . In that instant, she didn't even turn
around to see his face, she just remained her spot outside.

Selena nodded, assuring him that she was fine, but her face wasn't so
convincing."Yeah. I'll be there in a sec, okay? I just needed to breathe for
a bit", she flashed him a fake smile, causing his doubts to vanish.

"So did you think about that date? ", Taylor inquired, shooting her a
flirtacious grin.

Did he just ask her out? Another moment that she had waited for, was
now here, and again, the way she expected to feel was different then what
she actually did. She'd expected to feel ecstatic yet all she was feeling was
apathy. Maybe it was just because of the way she was feeling now or
maybe it was because she had no idea what to feel but she knew if she
didn't take this date, she might regret it. "Of course.I'd love to."

"Great. How about we go for dinner after shooting?"

"Sounds perfect." She kept the smile on her face like a mask, displayed
like a character she it slightly killed her inside because she
knew that she was faking hers while Taylor's wasn't.

. . . .

Nick couldn't help but notice that Taylor barged onto the set with a huge
smile plastered to his pretty-boy face. And he wasn't the only one, in a
second he heard Demi ask the question that'd been on his mind.

"What's got you so hunky-dory?", Demi scanned his demeanor carefully,
determined to find the source of his sudden happiness.

"Guess who's got a date with the lovely Selena Gomez?" Taylor said,
unable to hide his growing grin.

As if on que, Selena walked through the set door with a different
attitude,she looked happy as well.

The instantanous glee made Nick sick to his stomach. He stared at her for
a while, then back to pulse was rising quickly and he couldn't
control his anger from stirring up.

She caught his gaze for a second,and immediately turning away. This gaze
was cold and unwelcoming, the depth she'd once seen was gone—
replaced with frustration—a gaze much different from the one he'd given
her before, but then again, he'd been acting before.

"Lenny, Can we get the cameras rolling again? No need to waste good
money standing around talking about nonsense", Nick stated, returning to
the place where the scene began.

Here was the Nick that she god he was back because she
was beginning to loose her insight, thinking that there was a part of him
that she hadn't already discovered.
