paycheck .46

the girl sat in her dressing room. her hands playing with the makeup brushes on the table for 30 minutes straight. nini let out a frustrated sigh and eventually gave up on trying to entertain herself. she had nothing to do while they filmed the other scenes of the movies. her moms had already taken away her phone, trying to avoid another scheme or escape plan. they had already setup an interview with buzzfeed revealing the fact that "nini was never missing!!" nope. she had to lie and say she is just going through her "rebellious stage" like all celebrities "do" when they're teeenagers. bullshit. they all just get tired of being treated like dolls instead of actual human beings.

she was going to get backlash. hate. the girl already knew it. the media was not going to like the idea that pop idol and actress, nini salazar-roberts, had her fans worried sick just because she wanted to "live a little". no one was ever going to know. they were never going to know the way her moms and management treated her. the real story behind social media and closed doors.

the worst thing was, she couldn't even talk to ricky. by herself, actually. these past few weeks, lewis and seb have actually been a huge help in her life. nini never would of thought the two boys, lewis and ricky, would ever get along but here they are. lewis has been going over to ricky's house. ricky willl give lewis a note for nini. lewis will give it to nini. nini will give her note for ricky to lewis. lewis will go back to ricky's. it hasn't been much though. considering the fact that montagues and capulets were banned from having contact with each other. also, lewis was leaving for california soon so that whole system will be nothing soon. the rest of the capulets are too scared to even try.

nini was jealous of ej and maya. they were gone. they cut their contracts with montague and capulet records, packed their bags, and moved to san francisco. the whole world knows about them being a couple and well now ... a family. some people were happy for them ... others not so much. oh well, nini thought to herself. at least they're happy and have each other. considering the fact that the montagues and capulets weren't allowed to talk to ej and maya anymore. such bullshit. they weren't allowed to do anything. nini misses ej and wished she got the chance to know maya a bit more. hopefully, she gets to see them again soon.

all this mess because benjamin and jenn couldn't keep a stable relationship. all because they're marriage was a bust. on social media, it's as if gina is all alright and happy. nini knows the truth though. from what lewis and ricky have told her, she's been a mess. the poor girl barely gets out of bed, eat, take care of herself, ... anything. she hasn't talked to benjamin or jenn since that day they all found out nini went missing. the day jenn revealed to benjamin and gina that she was in fact their child the whole time.

nini was getting sick of it. the constant lies. the forbidden relationships. the control from her moms and management. she thinks of the night when she ran away. she should've brought ricky along and just never look back. she never should of tried to find her stupid "father". then again, nini always makes the dumbest decisions.

she heard her dressing room door open. she turned around to see her moms barging into her room. the girl rolled her eyes and turned back around her chair. she looked through the mirror to see her moms approaching her with a stack of papers and a laptop, "okay nini, let's go through this month's schedule before you start getting ready for your scene."

"i'm really tired, mom... can't we just talk about this tomorrow?"

carol shot daggers in her eyes. she put on a snarky smile and crossed her arms in front of her chest, "i'm sorry?? didn't get enough rest on that two week vacation with your so-called montague boyfriend?"

nini rolled her eyes, "it wasn't a vacation. i wish you guys would stop acting like i ran away to hawaii or some sort of .. spa retreat. i ran away because of how you all treat me here and because i wanted to meet my dad-"
