Chapter 9

Don't let Duncan ruin it all for you

Courtney's P.O.V.

I sat by the side of the sofa that Bex was lying on. After she head everything that went down between Duncan 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 greatful 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 Duncan isn't it. If anyone knew Duncan the way I did, they'd understand why I was doing this.

Bex stretched out in 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?" She asked. 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 to the door, but when she saw the suitcases she froze. "Mom, why are our suitcases packed?"

"I'm pulling you out of the film. There's been too much drama here, already." I explained. "We're gonna go home and see if there are any other movie offers for you."

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

"BEX!" I called after her, but she had gone.

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.

I saw DJ sitting in his 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 ago. It was the saddest memory I had. Soon I found tears were rolling off my cheeks. I made a ash 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.

"It's okay, Bex." He cooed. "There'll be other films."

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

"DJ, please go talk to her. Please!" I begged. DJ took one look at my pleading eye's and sighed.

"Alright 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.

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 wa 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.

"Court, you cant 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. "Bex really wants to stay in this film, don't let Duncan ruin it all for you." He was right. Duncan was already messing with me and Bex. There was no way I'd let him win this one.

"And, I still have an open part for you." DJ temped me. I smiled devioulsy into his shirt. Now, I could refuse that offer. It was an offer to annoy Duncan.

A/N: Again, pretty crap. Still ill, plus my keyboard isn't working properly, I have to push each button about ten times before each letter will appear on screen!
