The Past Is In The Past(Jolivia)

Chapter 8

-February 2019-

Olivia's POV:

As soon as my phone turned on I got like 30 notifications from Ethan. At first I thought it was an emergency, but it wasn't, he was simply bored. But he isn't one to call me multiple times, specially when I'm on set.

bae <3 <3

You:

Sorry bub!
my phone was dead
and it wouldn't turn on

He immediately read it.

Ethan:

oh okay
im sorry for the spam

You:
😂

I decided to call him since I was in my lunch break.

"Hi baby." He said. I immediately saw something familiar, a trailer's wall. What was he doing in a trailer?

"Hey bub." I smiled. "Whachu doing?"

"Nothing, honestly. I had a free day and I'm so bored." He responded. Free day? in a trailer?

"Oh." I said looking at the background, it looked like something I've seen before. "I wish you were here." I say with a sad smile.

"Yeah." He answered. Something is definitely up, but I can't tell what. "But, ummm... Your birthday is in 3 days!" He said changing the subject.

"That's another reason why I want you here." I said with a frown.

"Don't worry about that. It's your 16th birthday! You've always dreamed about it." He smiles. "I have a surprise for you. Buuuuuut, it's gonna have to wait a little. Not that much though."

"What?" I ask with a smile appearing on my face.

"Liv, I don't think you know what a surprise is."

"I do, but can you give me a clue?"

"Nope. I will not say anything at all. And nothing, not even your puppy eyes will change my mind." He said shaking his head. I may have an idea of what it is. Maybe he's coming here, but it wouldn't mach up because he said he was working on a project and he can't leave.

"Do I have to wait too long?" I asked.

"I mean, kinda.... It might be long, it might not. It really depends."

"Ughhhh, now it's all I'm going to think about!" I exclaimed. Then Sofia sat next to me. "Look Sof, it's Ethan."

"Oh, Hey Ethan! Look time no see!" She said. I nodded.

Ethan's POV:

"It's been like, 5 months!" I hear Olivia say. Yeah, totally if you mean 5 months as in 20 minutes ago, then yeah.

"Yeah!" I say trying to sound surprised.

We talk the rest of the lunch break, while I tried my best not to say anything that will ruin the surprise.

It's 2:50 PM. I cannot process my thoughts. I hear someone open the door.

"Ethan, come on." I hear Dara say. I've waited 4 hours for this. I follow her inside the school. It's full of cameras. "Okay so, this is what I was thinking. I'll record a video with Liv and I will distract her, then you show up. How about that?" She asks

"Yeah, I like that." I whisper. We run behind a few cameras.

"What are we doing?" Sofia said joining us.

"SHHHHHH!" Me and Dara say at the same time.

"Oh, sorry. Liv is near that hallway. She's finishing her scene." Sofia points. We head there and I see her.

"I feel good about this. It's a fresh start, everyone's on the same page." I hear Olivia say.

"Aaaaand CUT!" Says Tim. Then Dara walks in.

"Liv!" She said "nothing much, I just wanted to tell you hi, and that you're so awesome, and you need to look behind you." Then I stand behind her and tap her shoulder.

Olivia's POV:

I'd finished filming a scene when Dara came in recording. I thought it was a little weird, but I went with it.

"I just wanted to tell you hi, and that you're so awesome, and that you need to look behind you." She said. Wait, what? why?- oh, Ethan. ETHAN! as soon as I realized, I hugged him.

"I knew it!" I said slapping playfully on the chest. "I knew it!"

"Yeah, I could feel she had something in mind." He said.

"How did you get here?"I asked with the biggest smile on my face.

"Dara picked me up. Then I got here and waited four hours in her trailer." He explained. Oh! That's where I knew his background from!

"What!? Dara you knew?! And you didn't tell me?!" I asked her. 

"Girl! You do not know how hard it was for me to not say anything. Like, the struggle was real." She laughed eating mini pretzels.

"It's so funny because you and Sofia came in the trailer with you and I had to hide behind the couch." He laughs.

"Oh! YOU WERE THERE!" I say. "I can't believe I didn't see you."

"And Sofia saw me, and she literally froze. But yeah."He says laughing with me.

We talked for a little more, I still couldn't believe he was here.

Josh's POV:

"Rolling, Get in position." I hear Tim say. "Aaaand Action."

"Fine. Did I hang out with a couple of girls this summer? Possibly. Did I talk about Nini the entire time? Absolutely." I quote.

"Aaaand CUT. We got the take. Josh you can go now." Says the director. And just like that, the first week of filming ended. It's been a little hard, I'm not used to waking up so early in the morning yet. I'm trying to find a smooth pace.

"Josh, we're going to In-N- Out, you coming?" Matt says approaching me.

"Yeah, of course. Let me change first." I said walking away.

"Okay, and tell Liv please." He responds. I turn around and give him a thumbs up. 

I was about to text Livvy, when I spotted her walking in the parking lot.

"Livvy." I say behind her, she turns around with a smile. "The cast is going to In-N-Out, are you coming with us?"

"Uhm, I already have plans with-" She was interrupted.

"Babe! Come on! We're going to be late!" I hear someone shout. 'Babe'? "Bassett. What's up man?" He says, after he jogged towards us.

It's Ethan. Ethan. ETHAN.

"Nothing really. Uh, well I... I'll tell the rest you won't be, uh there. Livvy." I respond, ignoring Ethan for the most part.

"Yeah, thanks! Bye!" She answers. I nod and leave to my car. I feel angry for some reason.
