For a disclaimer they appear in the previous chapter.
I hopped into the car with Alex to ride to set. Both of us looked exhausted beyond belief, like we didn't sleep in days. My dress swayed back and forth from the hook while Alex's tuxedo did the same. I started laughing at the ridicule of it all.
"What is so funny, Arianna," Alex asked me.
"Don't you think this is ridiculous? Both of us look like we haven't slept in weeks hardly anyone else in the cast will talk to us. Everyone is taking this way too seriously. I mean ever since my character has discovered what she was, a rather extremely rare vampire, no one has been talking to me. Is it some inside joke I missed," I sighed looking out the window. "No one even rides to work with us."
"You do have a point. They are taking this stay in character thing a little too seriously. It could also be we were the only two to dine with the queen."
"This is so juvenile, but I'm glad I have you to share it with."
"It will all be over soon. I hope," Alex said opening the car door and walking over to get mine. "We have a few more weeks to go."
"A long torturous few weeks, that will never end. The only people talking to me right now are you, my boyfriend, and my best guy friends. Seriously all I have right now are guys," I groaned grabbing my dress and following Alex into the studio.
"What's so wrong about guys?" Alex asked taking my dress from me.
"Nothing is wrong with guys. I just wish the girls would talk to me. It's like I'm a leper. I honestly can't wait for this act as your character thing to be over. If only people didn't have problems getting into character," I said walking into my dressing room. "Thank you for carrying my gown."
"You're quite welcome. I think become your character ends tomorrow. It will only get better from here. I won't guarantee you on that. But you always have us men to keep you company. I'll be seeing you in an hour. I bet you look beautiful in that gown."
"Nowhere near as handsome as you probably look. Anyway thank you for listening to me vent this morning."
I watched as Alex left my dressing room hanging the gown on his way out. His dressing room door closed and I could hear his music begin to play through the thin walls. I sighed and took the gown out of its garment bag and lay it on the couch. I walked out of the room and down the hall to hair and makeup. It's been the same routine everyday for as long as I can remember. Probably since I was three, to be honest acting is the only thing I know. That and well singing and having my heartbroken and breaking hearts. I really should have gone to college. I sat in the chair directly across from Alex so that I didn't have to look at anyone else.
"You look upset. More upset than you looked when I last saw you," Alex said raising my head.
"I was just thinking about how quickly my dad moved on after my mom died. It was like he was waiting for it to happen so he could be free from her. When she was diagnosed with cancer my dad moved out to LA just to get away from her and took me with him. I didn't have a choice if I wanted to stay with my mother or not. I'm sorry I'm treating if you like a psychiatrist."
"It's alright you were my psychiatrist on day one of filming so I forgive you. Let me take you for dinner tonight to get your mind off of it all that is if you don't have other plans."
"You know I may have to take you up on that offer and I don't think Kendall will mind. Plus it's not every day I get asked out to dinner. Can we possibly go see a Broadway show instead? My friend Nick is performing in a show here. I'm sure you heard of Nick Jonas well I kind of dated his older brother Joe for a few months."
"We could do that if that is what you'd prefer. It may just be more fun," Alex said helping me up from the chair so we could change for filming.
I walked into my dressing room and turned on the iHome I had sitting on my vanity. Eminem's "Won't Back Down" filled the little room. Sometimes the country girl has just got to break away from it all. I just like the song for Pink's chorus. Have to support the fellow Pennsylvanian.
"You can sound the alarm
you can call out your guards
you can fence in your yard
you can pull all the cards
But I won't back down
Oh no I won't back down" I sang as I zipped up the gown and then changed the song as the rapping began. A new song sounded through the speakers and I waltzed through the room on my own to David Archuleta's "Desperate". I enjoyed the time alone before filming.
"I'm going to see a show with Alex. If any of you care," I said to Amy and Aly who were sitting on the couch with Carlos and James watching some old movie.
"I care," Kendall said walking from the kitchen area with popcorn and sodas. "Have fun beautiful. I love you."
"Love you too sexy pants," I said kissing Kendall on the cheek. "I promise we'll do something tomorrow."
I walked out into the hallway to meet Alex who was dressed in black suit pants, a white button up shirt and suit jacket. He definitely made me feel over dressed in my simple black dress with my hair still done from filming. We probably looked like we were going on a date and I'm sure the paparazzi will have loads of fun with the pictures they'll get of us.
"Shall we tell them we're dating?" I asked Alex as we stepped off the elevator. "I like causing controversy."
"I'd like to have some fun tonight. Let's do it," Alex responded looping his arm and mine before we walked out the door into the flashing cameras. "By the way you look stunning tonight."
"Oh thank you. You look amazing yourself. We look like a couple going out for their anniversary. Which we are." I said the last part louder for the photographers to here.
"I didn't think you were so bad?''
"I'm not bad. I'm just having fun. Bad and fun are two different things Alex. Two very different things. But I forgive you. I just want to see Nick. I haven't seen him since before Kevin got married."
"You know too many people."
I didn't understand how knowing too many people could be a bad thing. I thought it could help you along in life. But I can be wrong. Everyone is entitled to be wrong. Well not really everyone like doctors can't be wrong, because then someone will die. So maybe I was wrong again. Damn global terms. I watched as Alex maneuvered the car through the busy streets. My phone beeped with an incoming message and Alex pulled in front of the theater.
"Logan finally proposed." I shrieked hugging Alex in pure excitement. "I've been waiting forever for him to propose to Staci."
"Congratulations to them for getting engaged," Alex said awkwardly.
We arrived at the hotel late after grabbing something quick to eat. We said our goodbyes as I opened my door. Before I even opened the door I could hear the celebration of the engagement. I looked at Alex with a disgusted look on my face. Another night without sleep brings the total to thirteen. I walked into the room to see Stacie, Amy, Aly and the guys drinking champagne.
"You're not even at the legal drinking age," I sighed walking into my bedroom.
"For your information the legal age here is 18 so we are old enough," Logan shouted.
"I didn't even ask you," I screamed slamming the door. "I'd also like to get some sleep tonight so do me a huge favor and be quiet or leave if you can't be."
"You can sleep in my room if you want? I'm the only one in there." Kendall asked peering through my door. "I know they won't leave or be quiet."
"I'd like that." I said getting up of the bed to give him a kiss. "I'm thinking of having the production people change my room tomorrow. The drama is getting overbearing. And on top of that I'm not getting much sleep if at all any."
"You do look exhausted. Just stay in my room until you get everything all straightened out. I really don't want to say this but I haven't seen you look this way since your mom died. You almost look sick Arianna."
"You have no idea how much I love you right now Kendall. I just want to tell you, Alex and I told the paparazzi we're dating. I just thought a little rumor could help the movie."
Please review with idea's I'm slowly running out of them.
