Chapter 10

The door bell rang and I run down the stairs.

Zac: Lunch is ready hon.

I heard that Zac closed the door and out the pizza box on the table, I hugged him and I told him I loved him very much , We kissed and we sat to eat our lunch .

We were pretty much satisfied, We ate the whole Pizza. As soon as we were done with it we felt so tired, so we went upstairs to take a nap.

We woke up about 6pm, the phone rang but there was no answer so I hung up. I hugged Zac and I closed my eyes. We stood in bed until next day, kissing and loving each other.

Next morning my phone rang several times but there was no answer… suddenly Zac´s cellphone started ringing non stop… I knew It was Kate but Zac didn’t want to respond. 

I: I’m getting tired of that bitch, she’s been bothering you non stop Zac… I know she does it on propose because you are with me… I wish she was dead or something…

I said angry.

Zac:-Hey, don’t say that, it feels awful coming from you…

I looked down ashamed.

I: I’m sorry

I stood up-
We stood quiet for a long time.

I:Baby, I need to go to the drugstore, then to the market… and at last I need to go for the pictures I took in our trip, I send them to develop… Would you go with me?

 Zac:Oh, I’m lazy today…I want to stay in bed some more .-

He said covering again his head with the bed’s covers.

I:-It’s alright, never mind

I went to the bathroom; I dressed up and went to do all of my errands.

I made them all and when I was driving home there was an accident in the highway. The cars couldn’t move because of it I push the window down and I called for the police man who was standing in front of my car.

I: what’s going on?-

Police Man: There was an accident, some car run over a girl but she’s alright, she has some broken bones and she has scratches all over but she’s stable and there is no bigger damage. We’re waiting for the ambulance. Too bad she doesn’t remember the car that hit her. ...

I got nervous; I didn’t like to see any people bleeding.

I: thank you very much for your time, I hope the girl will get help soon.-

I put the window up and I felt sorry for that hurt girl. When I got home I saw that Zac was talking on the phone… I felt the packages on the table and I walk towards him

I: hey babe, there was an accident and someone ran over a girl and that’s why it took me so long..

I was about to hold him but he pushed me away and stopped talking on the phone. He turned around and he yelled at me .

 Zac:-HOW ON EARTH COULD YOU DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT… I FEEL I DON’T KNOW YOU.

I interrupted him

I: babe what’s going on I don’t understand …

Zac: DON’T YOU EVER CALL ME LIKE THAT AGAIN… DON’T YOU DARE CALLING ME “BABE” DID YOU HEAR ME?..

He yelled at me again, he grabbed his jacket and slammed the door. I didn’t understand anything but I felt really sad and I started crying…I sat on the couch and I cried my heart out…. I fell asleep.

About 3 hours alter the doorbell rang and I stood up quickly to see who was, I thought it was Zac, but when I opened the door I saw Diana standing here.

Diana: I Come by to see how are you and if you need anything?

I told her to come in. ..

I: I’m good how are you

We talked for a long time until she told me the news, Zac called her and told her that Kate had an accident and that he was in the hospital with her .I stood there frozen… Now I could see why Zac was saying all those things before he left.

 I : -Diana we should go to the hospital to see how she is. ..

There I told her what happened before but I didn’t speak about Zac… neither his family or mine knew that Zac and me were “together”… they only know that we were friends only… our friends know we were a couple but we weren’t official “yet”… She agreed with me about going to the hospital… I grabbed my keys and we drove there in different cars..

We arrived to the hospital at the same time. She asked in reception where miss Kate Tucker room was, and the receptionist said that she was in the room 666… Diana thanked her and we walked to her room.

When we got there the door was open, Kate was asleep, Zac was sitting by her side over her bed… I felt so sad again but at the same time I felt a HUGE fury inside of me, it was so unfair. Diana walked in first and I was behind her, Zac saw me and stood up and looked at me with a enormous expression of angriness on his face, his mother didn’t see that . Zac walked towards me and grabbed my arm strongly. He closed the door behind us leaving Diana in the same room with  Kate . He made me walk to my car making me leave the hospital.

Zac:You deamn petulant, how dare you to come here and make fun-

He said angrily. ..

I:Zac I don’t know what you’re talking about, I didn’t so anything.. I swear you Zac… I swear.

I told him without understanding anything; my eyes were drowning by tears.

Zac:LOOK, you’re lucky that she isn’t presenting any charges because she doesn’t remember what kind of car hit her 

He said and let my arm liberated. My soul broke to hear those ugly Words coming out of his mouth.

Zac:that way you won’t go to jail.

I:Zac believe me,I didn’t do anything.

My eyes were full of tears and they started falling on my cheeks 

I:I wouldn’t do something like that

Zac:YOU SAID IT THIS MORNING! DON’T BE A LIAR!!!! YOU HAD ENOUGH TIME TO RUNAWAY AND THEN YOU COME TELLING ME ABOUT THE ACCIDENT YOU SAW ON THE HIGHWAY .. IT ISN’T JUST A COHINCIDANCE

He said ironic …

Zac:I can’t relieve I fell in love with you, you are a psycho and I hate you. I can’t stand you anymore… And please don’t come to me because I don’t want to know anything else about you any longer… You can be calm I won’t tell Kate it was you who run her with the car…so I guess your secret is safe with me…

He turned around and kept walking towards the hospital. I run to him and hugged him desperately…I was crying a river

I:-I didn’t do it Zac., I SWEAR- .

I grabbed his arm but he let go off me, he didn’t glance back and ignored me… I stood there weeping and then I walked to my car. I drove home feeling horrible… what on Heart was on Zac’s mind… how couldn’t he see that it was all a mistake? Didn’t he love me enough to believe me?

I arrived home and I went straight to my room… I threw myself into bed and I cried for 2 days without eating anything or answering the phone... I felt miserable…I missed Zac so much and I felt so lonely…I needed him so badly… I loved him with all my Heart but the pain he caused me with his mean words was killing me more and more…One day I woke up and I saw Alex standing by my side

Alex:aww girly I’m sorry

She hugged me and I cried on her shoulder…She dried my tears

Alex:I believe you, I think Zac is blind there is something that doesn’t let him see the realism.

It was so easy for guys to be so mean. At least that is what I thought .Alex know that I wasn’t capable to do something as atrocious as that. She spent some days at home. She used my old bedroom and it still had my old bed so I used it as a Guest room 

A few days passed by and I finally fell to go outside… I needed some fresh air… I needed to get my normal life back… Because of my friends I found out that Zac was with Kate again and that they flew to New York. Zac had some music business to keep an eye on and of course Kate wasn’t going to leave him go alone…. For what I’ve also heard, she was ok. She healed well and she got a modeling job in New York so she could be with Zac all the time.

What about me? I still had no clue about how the last audition went… One day the phone rang and it was my agent.

Agent: omg girl,I’ve been trying to reach you for days where were you… are you alright?... congratulations, you’ve got the role on the movie!!!

I almost fainted, I cried of happiness… he said that in 2 more days I should be shooting in L.A  , the recording last 25 days for me… because my character dies in the middle of the movie but the shooting were very intensive .. I was still thrilled, this was my big chance to make my dreams come true, The news arrived in the right moment I even forgot about Zac for a while…. I needed something else to think about, and this was IT.

I counted the days and luckily I was going to be home for Lucas and Piper’s wedding.
I told Alex the news, she was very excited and happy for me, Piper came by and we jumped of happiness like little girls. I grabbed my bags and I packed, the girls helped me… I fill them with stuffs I Would need …I was glad because I World finally keep my head thinking in important things and not think about mean and cruel Zac. I called the airline, I made my reservations and about 2 days alter that I was flying to Los Angeles.

During the flight I asked myself many times about love…. Is love the only thing that takes to have a healthy relationship? I thought about it many times but each time I reached the conclusion that love is not the only thing that a relationship needs, one of the most important thing is trust and it seemed that Zac never trusted in me so…. That’s the result

I:Ok stop it don’t think about him anymore.

I said to myself, I grabbed my headphones and I listened.

When I got to Los Angeles, I went to my hotel; my agent was waiting for me on the entrance. I left my bags on my room and then we left to some meeting with producers. I finally got the script and the schedule.

2 days after that we were shooting the movie, I was so concentrate about doing my job well and I felt confident with the results.

Everybody said how stunning I was and how focused I was on my job without stressing…. It felt so wonderful to be there doing what I loved and growing as a person.

One day I had a few hours free so I called Diana to see how she was and to tell her how was I. She said she was happy for me

 

The other main character was Drew Fuller… wow!!! I had a crush on him since I first saw him playing on “Charmed.” It was my fave TV serie.  He came to me and introduces himself very charming.

Drew: Hi, I’m Drew... Nice to meet you. I hope we will have a wonderful time acting and working with each other.

I answered him back… we started talking and we became good friends, with the time we became best friends, we spent so many hours together that it was hard not to have a good friendship. We practiced scenes everyday and he was the funniest guy on the set. We laughed all day… it made acting to be simple…and we enjoyed each scene together.

We hang out all the time, went to dinners and had coffee in Starbucks almost everyday.

Everyday after the shootings I called the girls to tell them everything and they told me how the wedding plans were going.

The days went by, the shooting was about to end and some times they were too exhausting but it was nice to be there anyway.. it was great… it felt great to be there living my dream…

One day a producer came by and told us and the rest of the cast that we were shooting the movie music video and some of us had to be on some scenes.
..

Drew: and what band is playing the main song?

The producers said it was HANSON … I felt something in my stomach; my nerves betrayed me… that I had to run to the bathroom and vomit… Deamn Zac I promised myself that I wouldn’t think about him again and now I have to work with him. They told us that we would shoot the video in less than a week and they played the song on the radio for us to hear. I started shaking when I first hear Zac’s voice on the song… I wanted to cry… but I hold my tears as much as I could.

Producers: well guys what do you think of the song… it sounds good doesn’t it??? …

The rest of the cast agreed on that, the song was perfect for the We should used it.

Drew noticed that I was uncomfortable about it, he just looked at me and I looked him back saying with my look that I’ll explain it to him later.

That afternoon I went with Drew to Starbucks, I ordered a Raspberry Frapuccino and he ordered a Caramel Vanilla Latte.. we sat on a table outside Starbucks… I told Drew everything about my past with Zac…

Drew: wow, I’m sorry to hear about that... it is just wow… so hard to understand but I’m glad you feel like you can trust me...And I have to tell you that after all these days I really care about you and I love you so much as I friend… I think we do have a special friendship here and I don’t want it to change after we stop working together.

 None of us felt in other way about each other, it was all friendship.

The day of the video shooting arrived and we went to the set where they were recording it… When I first came in I saw Taylor…He practically run towards me when he saw me for the first time.

 Taylor: Hey little friend, how are you it’s been so long!! Come here and give me a hug.

It was the same thing with Ike, they were very nice with me… I started shaking and I felt really nervous…. I was afraid to see Zac again. I stood there speaking with Taylor and Ike but all I could think about inside my head was zac zac zac zac zac…

That was when Zac walked in the set and started talking nicely with Drew… I gave him a quick look but I didn’t want to be that obvious. I felt nauseas and I took some deep breath… my nerves were betraying me again. Suddenly I heard his steps closer and I closed my eyes…

I opened my eyes and I saw him standing right next to me… he looked at me and just held my hand in a cold way.

I:hello- ..

It was a normal hello… Luckily my nerves didn0t betrayed me this time.

He answered me with a cold “hi”

Director:OK, guys you need to go to dress and makeup-

The video director said… every one of us walked to our trailers and about one tour alter we were ready for shooting and follow the instructions.

In the first scene Drew and me had to be taking on a bed.. we shoot it.

I noticed that Zac didn’t take my eyes off me…I didn’t look at him; I was indifferent with him all the time. The director said we should repeat the scenes a couple of times because he wanted different angles… This time Drew noticed and go it nervous under Zac’s look , I tried to ignore the situation and I think Drew did that too because it was uncomfortable. We kept on rolling and we acted professional.

Director: PERFECT- .

He said on the speaker.

Director:-Now let’s move on…. Next scene!!!..

 We took a 25 minute break because they were getting ready the next set… we went to make up again and to change clothes… When the makeup artist was doing her job on me I looked at the mirror and  I saw Zac staring at me without blinking… He was jealous… I knew that. I didn’t look at him, Indifference was the best thing I could do to forget about him, but it was impossible I’ll have him in my life forever….It was exceptionally not to think about the beautiful things we lived together  and pretend like it didn’t happen was even harder.

On the next scene I should kiss Drew passionately and I did it… at the same time I liked to see Zac jealous…it was awesome to see that angry face, alter all he kissed thousand of times with that slutty Kate in front of me and now it was my turn to make him jealous. I knew that Zac still believed that I was the one that hit Kate with the car I could see it in his eyes beyond the jealousy.
When we were kissing with Drew all I could think of was about Zac…and I imagine that I was kissing him, so the kisses turned out to be hotter and hotter.

We repeated that scene about 5 times, Zac was all red and walked from a side to another..

Everybody on the set mocked us for the way we kissed, we just laughed and said that we were just friends… but the director assistant laughed.

Director Assistant: yeah right, friends don’t kiss like that!

I knew that Drew didn’t feel anything else for me except friendship so we just laughed about all the jokes.

Suddenly I saw Drew getting a little tense and I noticed that it was because of Zac, because Zac gave him mean looks, I got scared.

Drew came closer to me, hugged me and said to my ear

Drew: wow, it seems that Zac is so mad..

I: just act cool, like nothing happened ok?..

He nodded

He acted very cool but I was kind of nervous because of Zac’s reaction…

After a while our scenes ended and the director asked to Ike Tay and Zac their opinions about the scenes and he showed them on the monitor…Ike and Tay said they were perfect but Zac didn’t like them… The director tried to explain the concept over and over but Zac had his own idea about the video…

Zac: is it really necessary to have them kissing like THAT? I mean what example are we giving to the young people of this country… I mean people in the world…

Everybody looked at Zac like he was a freak or something. Ike Tay and the director explained him the concept pf the video once again and he agreed with it finally.

I didn’t talk to Zac during the day… we only looked each other occasionally…

One time I saw him standing there with his arms crossed and looking at me with a serious look. … It was hard for me. I Loved him and I hated him at the same time… his words were still coming to my head and hurt me every time.
How could I still be in love with someone that mean, Someone so unreasonable, I wouldn’t let him treat me the way Kate does to him because I never treated him like that

I:At least with me it was different -…

I said to myself and I promised that I wouldn’t think about Zac anymore.

The rest of the scenes were pretty hard that day… at the end of the day Taylor and Ike invited me to party in L.A but I was so tired that I had to say no. 4 days alter that I was in Tulsa again we got there at noon, Piper told me to invite Drew to the wedding and he agreed on going to Tulsa with Me.5 days it Would be Pipers weddings 

At the airport, I called a Taxi and the driver drove us home.

We got there, I really missed it. I showed Drew the entire house and he said that the house was very nice and I took him to the Guestroom. He threw himself over the bed and rested… I went to my room and I laid on my bed for about an hour
Later we called Pizza Hut for lunch and then I called Piper to tell her that I was already in Tulsa and that I was confirming the appointment with Piper .I still got to tried on the bridesmaid dress and go to the shop. .
Drew stood at home resting and unpacking.
