Being Noticed

Chapter 2

The script reading would be tomorrow and the first filming time would be Wednesday, which was only 2 days from now. I was nervous, but nobody else seemed to be. Then again, they were all big actors who had been casted in dozens of movies and starred in quite a few shows.

I looked around the table, again searching for any familiar faces. I didn't find any. I was hoping for at least one person that I had done movies with, but I found no one.

The door slammed open, who would arrive in the last about 30 minutes of a 3 hour long meeting? I turned my head, just like a majority of others. In to the room came one of the biggest stars ever. I knew this moment was going to come. The moment where I would meet my co-star, the guy who is played the male lead in the movie. I had seen him TV, heard him on the radio, but it felt different in real life. He looked so much more handsome than on television. His dark brown hair was parted falling to his eyes. His eyes, they were a beautiful green color that reminded me of olives, which were my favorite pizza topping. With his straight nose and full lips, he could have been a model.

"Sorry about being late, my alarm didn't ring and my manager is on a day off." His voice was deep, but not in a intimidating way. It sounded almost cute. I knew for a fact it didn't sound this way through the screen. He gave off a completely different vibe in real life. Sweet and kind. Most of the movies he was in, he had a tough look.

Looking at him brought back memories, memories that I had buried down and tried never to think about. Memories of his cousin, days that I had spent in my room, alone. Times that I felt insecure, self-pity, and so many other things that I never want to feel again.

"It is perfectly fine, you do too much for me to expect more than for you to show up anyway. Just stay a bit later so I can go over everything." Xavier then turned back to the table, "Everyone, this is Ashton Julian Caelum."

"Hello, how are you all doing?" He had a cute smile on his face. A smile that I had first seen years ago, and fell in love with. I still love how his lips curl upward and his perfectly aligned teeth show. I couldn't let what happened before happen again. I shook my head, then looked forward to see him sitting in the chair across from me. I must have zoned out. Stupid ADHD. I knew some people had it worse, but I hated zoning out. It made others think that I wasn't listening to them.

"So, introductions, Jenna Hennings, Lukas Barlson, Karlie Montery, James Carters, Rylan Geminus, Lucinda Maelein, Gemina Thornhill... and the 2 stars, Lorelie Chrysallis and Ashton Caelum." Xavier then named all of the people who were sitting around the table. This was only part of the cast. The people who had roles with at least 10 or 11 lines.

Ashton looked at me and winked. I don't think he recognized me, I had changed a lot over the past 3 and a half years. My short, bob now being an even lighter color than it was and now going till my mid back. My acne covered face with braces now being clear and teeth straight. He was my brothers best friend, before my brother went away, at least. Ashton had left me in the hardest times.

"Hi, Ashton. I am so looking forward to working together!" A tiny bit of sarcasm was laced in my voice. Just enough for you so spot it. If Ashton did, he did not show it.

He instead smiled and said, "Me too, but I feel like I have seen you before. Do I know you?"

"No, we have never, ever, ever met." I replied, exaggerating the, ever.

"Okay."

"And time is up. Meet adjourned! See you all tomorrow, 1:15 pm tomorrow. Do not be late." Xavier said in a sharp voice.

I got up, and started walking toward the door, when I bumped into someone. They were taller than me, with huge breasts. Looking up, I saw Gemina Thornhill, another big league actress. She was beautiful, with a delicate nose and full lips on her pale skin, she looked amazing without trying to be. Her brown hair is up in a sleek ponytail, Ariana Grande style.

"You are Lorelie, right. You're playing Rheanna."

"Yes" My answer was short, and small. I had felt the anxiety attack coming but I was trying to hold it back until I got to my car. There was no one in the room other than me, her, Ashton and Xavier, who were talking. "Could you move please." Again my voice came out small, panicked and short.

"Okay" She seemed to notice my tone and urgency, but as soon as I exited the room, the attack came. My breaths became shorter and more quickened. My heart rate got a lot faster. I felt dizzy, and nauseous. Scenes flashed before my eyes from the accident. I had a hard time breathing, and I could faintly even hear my heart beating. I barley felt arm around me as I collapsed on to the wall. Tears escaped my eyes. I tried to think of happy memories, like when I went to California with all my friends back in college. I gasped, hard and my vision cleared a bit, and I saw blue eyes. Gemina was hovering in front of me. Her face showed concern.

Seeing Ashton was worse than I thought it would be. I had expected to feel sad and angry at him, not a panic attack. "I am fine", my voice sounded croaky. I wanted to go home.

I saw Xavier and Ashton come out the door, smiles lit up their faces. Those smile turned in to frowns and concerned expressions when they saw me.

"What happened, are you okay?", they both asked at the same time.

Ashton turned to Gemina, "What happened?"

"We bumped into each other, she walked out of the room and had an anxiety attack." Gemina still wore the concerned expression.

"I said that I am fine! Bye.", and I walked out the door.

Chapter 2, I hope you guys liked it. It is a bit longer than Chapter 1, but not by to much.

In the media bar is kinda who I'm imagining as Ashton. You can think of him as whoever you would like though.

Story-time, earlier today, I went skateboarding. While I was skateboarding, this girl who looked like, 4 years old was riding a tricycle. She looked up at me and then smiled and waved. I waved back. The girl literally made my day. Today was a rough day, and the girl made me smile.

I edited this , because I felt like the panic attack was unrealistic, and not well written.

QOTD: How are you, in general? I feel really sad today.
