Lea offered to drive me to work and I accepted quickly. The thought of having to face Naya in a couple minutes was enough to get me nervous, to the point that my hands began to shake. Driving was not a good idea right now.
We pulled up to a full parking lot, we expected this as we knew we were already late, before we had even left the house. We ran quickly to our trailers, getting changed into our costumes before meeting again in the make up trailer. We arrived on set to see Dianna and Mark in the middle of a scene.
Lea turned to me and whispered, "they must have changed the order of filming".
Ryan saw us and walked over "well done for getting here, I'm sorry for your loss."
Lea looked as surprised as me, we both had expected a telling off and a speech about conduct and punctuality. Ryan saw our looks and continued "Dianna told me about your turtle Lea, she said he was very special to you because he was your grandmother's. I've changed the order of shooting so you both have your scenes this afternoon. Heather you still have an interview now though. I though that since it was Lea's turtle you would be fine."
"Yes, I'm fine. I didn't know Hank but Lea was very close to him." I went along with Dianna's lie. I was amazed Ryan had bought it, it wasn't one of Dianna's best.
He walked away, having been called by Brad. Lea turned to me, trying to hold in a giggle. "How did he believe that. I need to talk to Dianna about her lying skills, seriously, my turtle, now called Hank, who belonged to my grandmother, passed away. Who do you have your interview with?"
"I'm not sure, I didn't get a chance to look at the call sheet." I replied but what I really meant is that I didn't have Naya to tell me.
"Here's mine,"she said passing me a white A4 sheet.
I looked at it, trying to find my name but I couldn't see it, all I could see were a bunch of letters and numbers. Lea saw me struggling and took it off me, reading out my call times and scenes.
"You are meant to film two scenes with Chris and me now but they won't be will this afternoon. You have an interview with Seventeen Magazine for the photoshoot that you shot a couple weeks ago."
"Ok, thanks Lea. Guess I can't actually read a call sheet."
"No problem. There's meant to be a car for you outside in twenty minutes, you should probably go and get changed now."
I said goodbye and walked in the direction of my trailer. Turning round the corner I could see the door open and Naya walked out. I could have been brave, walked over, said hello and asked her what see was doing today, but I wasn't. With Naya I had never been brave so I stood and waited behind a bush and let her walk away. She was holding her customary cup of coffee and wearing a baggy tracksuit. Being out of costume I hoped that maybe she had finished filming for the day, maybe she was going to the recording studio. Hopefully this meant I wouldn't have to see her again. When she was finally out of sight I went up the stairs.
Everything inside reminded me of her. Before I had even looked I could smell her there. Then there was her magazines on the sofa and her cheerios uniform hanging up. On the table there was a empty cup of coffee and she had forgetten to turn off the television off before she left so it was still playing a repeat of one of her mind-numbing reality tv shows. It was becoming too much so I quickly changed and ran out towards the direction of the parking lot, seeing a smart black limo. Maybe this interview would take my mind off her.
Naya POV
I had arrived on set a couple hours before after sneaking out the house before Dianna woke up. I wanted to get in as early as I could to avoid any type of confrontation with Heather, I wasn't sure how long I could spend with her before I gave in.
I thought that I could handle it but I was wrong. Now, after only a couple hours I was ready to go home. Faking a cold I had excused myself from set and was about to go home, Ryan said I had an interview but I didn't really care. I waited until Heather turned up late with Lea. I was a bit jelous when they walked in together and I gave Dianna a look which she returned. As soon as Heather was preoccupied with talking to Ryan I ran out towards the trailer. Changing quickly I was out before anyone noticed, or at least I thought that.
"Naya, where are you going?" I turned around seeing a flash of blonde but it was the wrong blonde.
"I'm not feeling to well, Ryan said I could go home." I knew this wasn't a convincing excuse but this was the last place I wanted to be right now.
"That's crap and you know it. What are you going to do tomorrow or the day after when you have a scene with her. You can't avoid her forever. She's your best friend, how long do you think she's going to wait."
"I don't want her to wait. That's the whole point. I want to be her but I love her too much to risk her being hurt."
"Right now she is ten millions times more hurt than what could happen with you in the future because if she was hurt with you she would have you to come back to. Right now she has no-one and she is hurting because the women she loves just rejected her."
"She doesn't love me. Not yet at least. I don't want her to fall in love with me."
"Your too late Naya. She has loved you for over a year and you have loved her for longer. I know that I'm not going to convince you to change your decision now but at least don't go home. You've already lost Heather, you don't want to lose your job too."
She was right about everything. I shouldn't run from Heather but right now I was only ready to follow her advice about the interview.
"I'll go okay, just stop bugging me." I was definetly being too harsh on her but Dianna knew I wasn't upset at her, right now she was probably just happy that she had managed to get through to me in some way.
"I need to go back to set, have fun. You need it," and with that she was gone. I realised I was going to have to run to make the car that was supposed to take me and so sprinted off towards the car park. A smart, black limo was parked near the entrance and I opened the door and climbed in. It took me awhile to realise that I wasn't the only one in side the vehicle.
We both turned to face each other, not knowing what to say.
A/N
Here's a longer chapter as I promised. Forget to say that we reached 50 reviews but we have so WOOOHHH!.
Left you on a cliff-hanger because I'm mean like that. Sorry.
School finishes tomorrow for a week but I have a school trip so not sure how regular the updates will be :( but I'm taking my laptop and crossing my fingers for Wi-Fi.
As you can see from the cliff-hanger, the story is starting to progress a bit more rapidly and I'm done with the sad moping around chapters.
