*Sophia's point of view*
I haven't felt this happy in awhile, it's like none of that ever happened. Sometimes I close my eyes and I remember the little girl who cried outside in the rain, hungry and lonely, and now that little girl seems like a dream, it's like it was all a dream.
" Are you lost in a trance or something, we're about to take pictures for the movie".
I came back to reality, here I am already dressed in a brown flowing gown with a crazy long slit and Ethan in a black long-sleeve shirt, black trousers and sick sneakers and I was busy dozing off, jeez.
" No, no, I'm here and ready for the pictures, let's make it the best movie posters they've ever seen".
(Director- cameras, action)
Cameras started rolling, videos, pictures, camera lights everywhere, and for the very first time I didn't feel exhausted or uncomfortable being here, and a part of me wandered why. Ethan acted so warm, all smiles and giggles, the behind the scenes is going to be mindblowingly ecstatic.
(Director- alright stop, change into the next clothes).
We changed into the next outfit, a black juggers, shirt and trainers for me and the same outfit for Ethan, we went outside to take the pictures for this outfit, like a couple going for a road walk, and finally we finished our photo shoot in laughter and happiness for the first time. The energy from the set was really lovely and Carl just stood at a corner smiling at me being happy for once.
" Production starts tomorrow, GD will be posting these pictures tonight, as will us".
" It's definitely going to move the market, GD's marketing strategy is to die for, by the way, where's Daven. I haven't seen him since morning".
" I know it's unlike him to not be by my side and so you're worried, but I sent him on an errand, he may or may not come back here, I mean the shoot is already over so I'll just see him at home".
My phone rang, interrupting I and Ethan's conversation and it's Justin. I ended the call because I didn't want to be disrespectful to Ethan, we went home early due to our movie shoot tomorrow and then I called Justin back.
" Hey sorry for that, I was kinda busy, how're you".
" I'm good, it's nothing to apologize for, you were busy shooting so of course you'd end the call".
He's so considerate and a gentleman.
" Thank you for understanding".
" So your shoot starts tomorrow right, I'll try to come see you on set, go make magic, rest up now, you have a long day tomorrow".
" Alright, bye".
He ended the call and I just felt happy to be understood and appreciated, be it by Ethan or by Justin.
*Daven'point of view*
" GD has sent the pictures, you guys look hot together, sick facials too. GD has already posted, and the comments are sick " can't wait", " finally my dream is becoming a reality", " just get married already", " everyone died and it's just two people together on screen". Well at least the comments are encouraging, your new movie has a lot of support".
" Are there any comments from casual fans, you know the ones who aren't there for the ship but for me?".
" Let me check, well yes there are some, " finally my favorite decided to pick up a script", " Ethan Wyatt the man that you are", " just looking at him from the pictures already gives me goosebumps", " I can't wait for your next fan meeting Ethan", " make us proud champ". Your solo fans are still active, good for you".
" Here you go, post the pictures with a really nice caption, talk about the movie and__".
" Are you going to teach me how to do my job, a job I've been doing for so many years now?".
" Sorry, I'm going to bed".
I jumped on the bed while leaving my phone with Daven.
" You seem to sleep a lot more peacefully than before, it's been long since you've taken pills to help you sleep better".
" Well I'm distracted from my nightmares".
" And what's distracting you, Sophia, you're beginning to develop some sort of Feelings for her and I can tell she's still keeping you in the friend zone".
" And what makes you think I'm developing feelings for her, just because I'm extra nice to her doesn't mean I'm developing feelings okay, don't be delusional".
" Ethan I have been your friend for fifteen years, if there's anyone who knows you better than you know yourself then it's me. You watched all her movies and series, everything she's been in, even when it's not your troupe and why, just because you wanted to see her face".
" Ummm no, I did that because I wanted to have a better understanding of who I'm acting with, and because I like the way she carries herself on screen, her aura, her___".
" Shut your mouth and go to bed Ethan, good night".
" Isn't it too early to say goodnight".
" Whatever".
*Carl's point of view*
Sophia is gonna laugh when she sees these comments, if she hasn't seen them already that is. Knocking on her room door before entering, she just sat on a chair laughing and giggling while pressing her phone, definitely not a reaction she'd be giving those comments.
" Ethan?".
" No, Justin".
" Justin as in Justin Desmond?".
" Yes him, who knew he'd be this funny, and I had no idea he's somewhat close to Annie too, by the way Annie texted saying she'd love to come over and visit sometime, maybe after the movie production".
" Okay, I'm glad you're making friends, by the way have you seen the comments on GD'S post".
" Yes yes I have".
She responded without even raising her face to look at me and just continued chatting with Justin, she seemed really invested in the conversation so I didn't want to bother her.
" Rest early, it's 5pm already, make sure you're not up late, production starts early tomorrow morning, okay".
" Yes, I've heard you".
Still without moving her eyes from the phone, well, I should get some rest as well. I left her room and went to mine.
Morning came sooner than expected, well it's not like I slept early since I had to beg and force Sophia to have dinner which she did by 10pm all because she was chatting with Justin Desmond, annoying. She didn't even complain about being tired, well I'm tired, but here I am still sitting in the car with her while she's going through her phone smiling and definitely it's because of Justin Desmond, annoying punks these children.
We arrived at the set and Sophia rushed down to meet Ethan who was already waiting with the director, she was about leaving but took one look at me and said
" Oh my, Carl you look exhausted, what happened, didn't you get enough sleep last night, it's just 7am and you're already looking this tired, will you be able to survive the whole day, we might stop shooting by 4pm".
Well at least she still cares about my health and well being.
" I'll manage".
She just gave me a warm loving smile before running off like a child and jumping on Ethan, cameras were already on a roll, every behind the scenes moment is important.
The shoot started successfully, first scene is here at a hospital, where Ethan plays the roll of a caregiver and Sophia the roll of a sophisticated lady who acts like a sociopath, a roll I'm sure she'll carry out properly.
*Ethan's point of view*
(Director- lights, camera, action)
I walked down the marble path, hands in my pocket, in my caregiver uniform, enjoying the cool breeze and the silent whispers of people who went to and fro the same path. I walked into a lady in a black long dress, with glasses on looking the other way with a her hand, doesn't she know the rules.
" Excuse me ma'am, excuse me, you're not allowed to smoke here, please throw it away".
She stood up and came in close contact with me, taking off her glasses and looking me dead straight in the eyes, she looked at me for awhile before uttering the most confusing words I've heard from a stranger.
" Do you believe in Destiny?".
I stood there, shocked at what she just said.
(Director- alright, cut).
Sophia burst into laughter after hearing cut from the director and I just laughed too, do you believe in destiny, that was a thought provoking line. We were given a little break to have breakfast before continuing our shoot, and surprisingly a van pulled up. And guess who.
" Justin!".
Sophia was also shocked to see him but she went to him after saying his name that loudly, he actually hugged her and she looked happy. I looked at Daven who gave me a " don't look at me" look, foolish boy. Justin walked up to me and shook my hand.
" Well I'm surprised to see you, I don't think you have a cameo entrance in today's shoot, well in any of our shoots to be exact".
I said smiling at him while fighting the urge to break his hand.
" No I don't, I'm just here for Sophia, I came to cheer her on and show her my support, I even brought a food van, see. That van is full of delicious food that has been stacked in different pots and cullars. Sophia is my friend so I'll be coming everyday to support her".
" Well it's a shame she has such a jobless friend, but it's a blessing because you brought food, Daven, Carl, let's go eat".
Carl didn't object and just followed I and Daven to the van, she's my friend so I'm here to support her, foolish moron.
*Yvonne's point of view*
I have to hurry and get the groceries, today is Mr. Ethan's first shoot for his new movie and we are planning on making him something delicious and a cake to celebrate. Getting into a cab and heading to the market I spotted Derrick.
" Isn't that Ethan's brother, stop the cab".
The driver stopped the car and I dropped down, this place doesn't look like a hospital, hell there's no hospital anywhere around here, what's he doing here and why is he looking around so suspiciously.
I hid at a corner, I couldn't hear what he and the man who stood at the entrance said but he went in. I can't go in so taking a picture of this place is all I can do, which I did. Oh goodness, what's he up to now.
