Never have I ever [H.S]

7

Sitting in your trailer you stare down at your phone longingly, rereading Harry's last text.

"Miss you, hope everything is alright. Facetime when you're free?"

You hate how your chest is aching at such a small and sweet thing. If you had the chance, you'd run into Harry's arms without a second thought, but you are stuck in Atlanta while he is currently back in LA, feeling farther away than ever, in every sense.

It's been three weeks since you left the city and parted ways with Harry. You hated it. You absolutely hated how he was looking at you and how you was about to cry in his fucking Range Rover as he was dropping you off at the airport. You tried to make it quick so you don't get too caught up in the moment, but the moment he kissed you, it was over for you. For a split second you were ready to cancel on the whole movie and just stick with the plans you made before you got the role, but that wasn't really an option.

Since that day, Harry has been very respectful of your will to keep some distance, he always checks in before trying to call to make sure you have time, he doesn't text you about the most random things like he used to, maybe because you both are so busy, you basically live on set while he has left for his tour exactly a week ago, and you can tell he is trying his best to never even mention Levi.

The news that you'd have to work with your ex came as a punch in your stomach. Taiki contacted you himself to talk to you about his choice to include Levi in the movie. He has informed you that they all agreed on him at the end of the casting process, but he wanted to make sure it's okay by you as well. What would have you said? You wouldn't just start off a project with getting someone out of the movie before filming even started. You had no choice but to suck it up and say that it's all fine.

Now you are stuck to see him almost every day and spend your free time with him as well since he is always the first one to show up when a little group of the cast is out and about. He has always been such a social butterfly, though now you wish he would just lock himself up in his hotel room and not show up until he is needed on set.

Levi has been trying. He's been pushing on your nerves, always coming up to chit-chat, like there's nothing weird or absurd about the situation, but there's plenty. Seeing that the last time you two saw each other you threw a book at him and he threatened you to sue you if you dare to even say his name ever again. Your breakup was the definition of nasty while the rest of the world just noticed a quiet and uneventful parting, photos disappearing from Instagram and awkward smiles whenever either of you were asked about the other.

While you are all about being civil and professional, what he has been doing feels like he is trying to get under your skin, testing your patience with him, which is starting to run short.

For an outsider he is acting perfectly fine, even human towards you, but you know him all too well, you know all his little tricks and moves because you used to be an expert on the topic of Levi Hudson.

Huffing to yourself you get back to the text and type a quick reply.

"Still on set, I have two more scenes to film. Will text you when I'm back at the hotel xx"

You wish you could call him right away, you wish he was here with you and you wish you didn't have to go back to set and face Levi once again. You really thought you'd get entirely consumed by work once filming starts and run short on time and energy to even think about Harry, but it hasn't been the case. He is all you can think about, you always catch yourself wondering what he is doing, how his day has been or if he is thinking about you too. You cling onto your phone the moment they yell Cut! and frantically check if he has texted you. It's taking a toll on you and you can only hope you'll last until the movie is wrapped and you can finally join him on tour, just like you planned.
