The Moment I Knew (A James Franco & Aaron Tveit FanFic)

(CH4) - Haunted

Scarlett opened the doors to exits LAX. That’s when she walked into a group of paparazzi. Cameras flashing at her and people yelling at her.
“Scarlett did you and James Franco break up?”
“Why did James Franco stand you up at your own CD release party?”
“Scarlett can you tell us about you and James Franco?”
It was like the world crashed down on Scarlett. She could see them, hear them. But she couldn’t respond to them or move. Then someone pulled her back inside the airport.
“Follow me.”
Scarlett looked to see who it was. To her surprise it was……
“Aaron! Thank God!”
“Yeah you looked like you needed some help. Don’t worry they didn’t see me pull you back inside.”
“What if they follow us?” Scarlett looked behind her to see if anyone was following them.
“That’s why we are going this way.”
Scarlett followed Aaron to the other side of the airport. An exit she didn’t know existed.
“How did you know this part was here?”
“A friend of mine used to work as a flight attended. She told me about it.”
Scarlett was now outside standing next to Aaron. “Thank you.”
“No problem, I’ll text you later?”
“Yeah that be great.” Scarlett smiled.
Aaron smiled as well and got into a car and left.
Wasn’t long until Scarlett ride got there. Being back in L.A seemed different Scarlett couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

Back in New York:

"Yo Bitch get your ass up! We need to go shopping!" Was the voice of Rosie yelling. As she came into Scarlett and James apartment.
“She’s not here!” James said as he was laying on the bed.
“You look awful.”
“Well thank you Rosie, tell me something I don’t know.”
“Where is Scarlett?”
“Gone.”
“Where did she go?”
“Away from me.”
“Why?”
“Cause I’m the worlds worst boyfriend.”
“Finally you said something right.”
“She’s not coming back, I just know it.”
“She loved you James.”
“Yeah…. and I didn’t care.”
“You see what you lost?”
James looked over at Rosie and got up from the bed. “She’ll be back cause she loves me. Then I’ll somehow make everything right again.”
“You didn’t answer my question. Where is Scarlett?”
“I don’t know she just left. Went on a plane and left me.”
Rosie got out her phone and called Scarlett. As she left James to his misery.
“Come on Scarlett answer your phone.”
“Hello.”
“Scarlett!”
“Rosie hey!”
“Where the hell are you S?”
“In L.A”
“What why?”
“I needed to get away.”
“From James or everyone?”
“I’ll be back once I figure a few things out.” Scarlett hanged up the phone. Leaving Rosie confused and worried about her best friend.
“Well well if isn’t Rosie Beams.”
“Dave I would love to chat but I have to go.”
“Always on the go.”
“Just like someone else I once knew.” Rosie walked away from Dave owing the place and making him sorry for the past.

In L.A:

Scarlett was watching the sunset go down. As she was sitting on the beach. Her bare feet in the sand and the wind blowing her hair lightly. Scarlett loved that feeling.
“A new day is coming.” Scarlett whispered to herself.
As she looked at her phone. James name came up in her contacts. Scarlett stared at the number. To text? To call? Not to? Then the sun went down and Scarlett put her phone away and started walking to her car. Her bright lime green Mustang. As she looked around at the beach. She thought to herself. 

*I could get use to being back in L.A.* Just as Scarlett thought that she got a text.
“Aaron” Scarlett said aloud as she smiled.
The text read *Hey, hows L.A going for you?*
Of course Scarlett wrote back. *Not too bad. It was great being back at the beach today. How’s filming going?*
The rest of the night Scarlett and Aaron texted each other. Could this be the beginning of something new? Like a new romance or just friendship?

Back In New York:

James went to a club and of course got drunk.
“James! What the hell are you doing?” Seth yelled as he walked over to James.
“Looking through my phone. I got five girls phone numbers. Just like that.”
“Yeah well isn’t that kind of low for you?”
“A man still needs to be picky Seth.”
“Picky? You’ll never have another good women like you had with Scarlett. Women, people they just don’t exist like that anymore these days.”
“You think she’s the only good girl in New York? Hell the world! Please Seth I can do better.”
“Where all of sudden is all this hate coming from? Cause she left you? James she needed a break. You stood her up. On one of the most impotent days of her life.”
“Things were going way wrong before that Seth.”
“So what your not going to fight for her? You’re just going to let some other guy take her from you?”
James started laughing “Another guy? Who would that be?”
“She’s a very pretty women. I’m sure someone will come along. The question is are you going to let that happen?”
“You see that girl over there?”
Seth looked over and saw a girl with long brown hair. Standing near by talking to a group of people.
“I’m going home with her tonight.”
“Oh no you're not.” Seth stopped James from walking over to the girl.
“Your drunk ass will thank me later for this.”
“Where are we going? The door is that away?”
“Unless you want to be all over TMZ in the morning. I suggest you walk this way.”
James followed Seth, so drunk James didn’t know what was going on. The door opened and James had a back flash of him and Scarlett.

The backlash when everything went wrong:

Scarlett was waiting at the restaurant. Where she was waiting on James to show.
“Ready to order Ms?”
“Not yet I’m waiting on my boyfriend.”
“Okay just let me know when your ready to order.”
“Okay thank you, oh on second thought I would like more champagne.”
The waiter smiled and got champagne for Scarlett. Who looked absolutely beautiful. Wearing a sparking short very light pink dress. With light pink high heels, glittery sliver eye shadow, With her hair curly with a flower in it.
“Sorry I’m late. They almost made us work 16 hours today. All because some people shouldn't be working on this movie.”
“Instead it was 10 hours.”
“Yeah, see why I prefer to work on my own stuff.”
Scarlett smiled. “It could of been a 12 hours.”
“Yeah well that’s a normal day, anyways I’m here.”
“I’m glad you’re here.”
“Honestly I’m so tired, I’m surprise I made it.”
Scarlett sat back in her chair and thought to herself. Is James the one? Or am I wasting my time? Although Scarlett never saw a reaationship as a waste of time.
“You see I started wearing flowers in my hair.”
“Oh yeah I see that.” James barley looked at Scarlett.
“Is everything okay with you?”
“Of course I’m fine! Why must you ask that every time I seem in a bad mood.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Yeah well maybe if your weren’t so boring.”
“Excuse me?”
“I didn’t mean that Scarlett.”
“Sorry I prefer to read a script, write, sing and play my guitar. Then to go out partying.”
“No Scarlett that’s not what I meant. Come back please.” James followed Scarlett out of the restaurant into the parking lot.
“Scarlett!!”
“Another thing I’m sorry I care about people.”
“No no I really didn’t mean that!”
Scarlett got into her car and drove off. Leaving James in the parking lot.
It was their first big fight. That made everything else go down hill.

New York City!

James passed out on the bed from drinking too much. But was there anyway he could get Scarlett back?

In L.A:

Scarlett walked into a coffee shop.
“Hey Aaron”
“Scarlett hey! I’m so glad you came.”
“I’m glad you ask me to.
Scarlett sat down at the table.
“I like the flower in your hair.” Aaron couldn’t stop looking at Scarlett. He thought she was beautiful.
“Really?”
“Yeah, it looks pretty cool in your hair.”
“Thank you.” Scarlett thought back to when James hated the flowers in her hair or just didn’t pay any attention to her when she wear them. Then she realized something. Aaron noticed and he was noticing everything James didn’t notice. It made her feel amazing about herself.
