Chapter Four
We have been shooting Monday through Thursday for the past two weeks. Early Friday mornings I fly back to New York City to VJ on MTV's TRL. (Thank god to the person who invented cover-up because without it these dark bags under my eyes from not sleeping would be seen by all) Today on set we are shooting the episode "ARE YOU TRUE?" The last scenes are scheduled for today which means 100 extras; cast and crew will all pile into the gym to shoot the big basketball scene. I'm dressed in my cheerleader outfit and my hair and makeup has been done which means I get a short break before filming. I run to my trailer to get a few minutes of shut eye. Once my head hits the pillow on the couch I fall deep asleep wrapped in my dreams of Chad and I. Since our secret meeting in my trailer two weeks ago the only time we share together is when Lucas and Peyton share a scene, which usually consists of Peyton hating Lucas but secretly wanting him and Lucas wanting nothing more than to see Peyton smile. I find Lucas and Peyton's relationship ironic in a way because all I want is to be open with my relationship and feelings for Chad and I feel like Chad is more like Peyton with the fact of wanting to deny anything being there to other people. I wonder how Chad is really feeling about everything since I haven't gotten the chance to talk to him. As I begin to rethink about Chad kissing my neck and how much I want it to happen again I hear a knock at my door.
"Hilarie, they need you in make-up for a look over" Ian Pagrage, the executive producer, said trough my door
"Okay" I said not wanting anything but to stay on this couch and sleep. But then I suddenly got the feeling that my lunch wanted to make a reappearance. I grab the garbage can and puke immediately inside.
Ian who was still standing outside of my trailer knocked and asked in a concern tone "Hil, you okay in there" but I'm too tired to reply so I lay down on the hard cold floor to help cool my face and body from my rising temperature. I can hear in my head Ian now pounding on my door yelling "Hilarie open the door". I tried to answer, I wanted to get up and answer him but my body was numb and then everything went black.
CHAD'S POV
I'm wearing my basketball uniform that has 'TREE HILL' across the front with 'Scott' on the back followed with the number '3'. Lee Norris is standing outside of the cast trailers' with me, he is talking about something his girlfriend said the night before, me giving him a quarter of my attention while I steal a glance at Hilarie running inside her trailer.
With a smile Lee said "So you and Hilarie huh?" pulling my full attention back to him surprised by his knowledge but pretending I have no knowledge and reply with "I don't know what you're talking about"
"James told me something about him catching her and you after you two were fooling around in her trailer"
"Of course James did" I say with a smile "so you admit it!" "Admit what" I ask pretending to be stupid "You admit James wasn't just seeing things and really did see something real" Lee said lighting up as the mystery was solved. "Oh what the hell you can keep a better secret then baby James. Yes, James knocked on her door while there was more than fooling around going on" "Really?"Lee said intrigued by the new set gossip. "Yeah, she's special; she's everything I ever wanted in a girl. She has me thinking about her all the time! I've never ever felt this way for one girl" I said trying to hide a smile just at the thought of her and me. "Wow, I'm really happy for you man. I feel like a special person for knowing" "Yeah thanks to Baby James" "Chad, don't be mad at him you know I won't tell anyone and no one believes James anyway he is the baby on set, remember?" Lee said trying to make a point "How can I be mad at baby James? I'm not mad at him for telling you I'm actually relieved, now I have someone to talk to about her" "well then talk" Lee said sitting down in a chair next to one of the trailers. "well it all started with that night at the bar with everyone before shooting" "haha oh yeah that was the night with that drag queen pulling mark on stage to sing karaoke with him" Lee said laughing at the memory. "Haha yeah that night! Well anyway that night I ended up staying at Hilarie's house, of course in her guest room, but before we went to sleep she kissed me." "And..." Lee said indicating to speed the story up "and nothing happened I didn't want her to regret anything when she woke up I mean she was really drunk, but then I saw her the day of shooting and she was looking so beautiful like every other day and I guess I realized that day that I did have feelings for her" "And…" Lee said again wanting to speed the story. "And I went to her trailer and we found out that we had mutual feelings and then we, we ended up just having sex right there in her trailer."I said with a small smirk "wow you guys don't waste time" Lee said in a joking tone "Norris, look at me. She couldn't keep her hands off of me" "Oh watch out here comes Mr. Cocky. Somehow I think that situation was reversed" Lee said with a laugh "So what now? What are you guys? Why are you hiding this from everyone" Lee asked turning the topic to a more serious topic concerning me and Hilarie. As I started to think of answers to give Lee I realized that I didn't have any answers. "I don't really know" I said looking over to Hilarie's trailer surprised to find Ian knocking at it.
"excuse me Lee" I say giving him a hand shake and walking over to Hilarie's trailer thinking of excuses to get Ian away from the door, but then I heard the concern in Ian's voice as he asked her to open the door making me jog over and asked "what's wrong" "I've been trying to get Hilarie to answer the door or even answer but she won't even reply to me and the doors locked" Wondering if there was a personal situation between Hilarie and Ian I asked "what did you do to her" "Nothing I told her to go to make-up but then I heard her throwing up and then it went quiet inside "Realizing something is seriously wrong I moved Ian to the side and kicked in the trailer door rushing inside the trailer hoping I would find her inside unharmed.
But once I saw her I knew that I was right, something was seriously wrong.
