43: Freak Out

I was in the middle of a shoot with a client when my studio door burst open, I jumped and was on guard not expecting anyone today. "Out now. Everyone out!" Scarlett demanded holding the door open. I was confused and my client was freaking out that Scarlett Johansson was here. "OUT!" She shouted she was acting like a crazy person.

"The fuck?" I asked her, angry at her for ruining my session. "You can't just barge in here and kick my clients out mid-session, Scarlett." She locked the door as I went over to the computer and looked at the reels I managed to get. "I needed to talk to you." "And you couldn't have sent me a text or called me or waited until my client was finished!" "No. Because I'm freaking out, Nell." I looked at her when her voice quivered.

"Has something happened?" I asked putting my camera down and going over to her. Her hands were shaking and her eyes were glazed over. "Aren't you meant to be on a flight?" I asked realising Lizzie had been gone two weeks and Scar was meant to be flying out to film her parts today. "Yeah, but I freaked out and missed my flight and then I continued to freak out and I came here and you shouted at me and now I'm going to cry." I pulled her into my arms. "Shh, it's okay, I'm sorry for shouting," I say soothing her guiding her to the chair and sitting her down.

"What happened?" "Colin." She sobbed. "Have you broken up?" She shook her head. "Is he hurt?" "No." "You're going to have to tell me." "I'm pregnant." I looked at her trying to work out if she was joking or not. "Don't look at me like that, I'm already freaking out, you can't freak out." She scolded me. "I'm sorry, I was working out if you were joking or not." "I'm not joking. I missed my birth control. And now I've missed my period." "Wait so have you taken a test?" She shakes her head. "I was too freaked out." "Okay, so here's what we're going to do." I hold her hands and she looks at me. "I'm going to go to the store to get some tests." She nodded. "You're going to head to my apartment, get the key from the lobby. Call work and drink as much liquid as you possibly can." She nodded following. "And then you can do the test and we can chill at my place." "But what am I going to do if it's positive." "We'll talk that over later, right now, it's phone call and liquid," I tell her again and she nodded slowly standing up.

"You know the address?" "Yeah." "Breathe, Scar, it's okay." "I'm really sorry about this." "Freinds right?" "Yeah." She smiled and I shot one back. I packed up quickly when Scar left and called Lizzie on my way to the store.

"Hey?" "Hi, won't take long," I say. "Okay good because I'm about to go to set." "There's a camera following me and I'm about to buy some pregnancy tests, not for me for a friend. If there are photos I didn't want you to freak or worry." "You're sweet." "How's work?" 'Busy, I've been here since 4 this morning and I'm ready to get in bed." "Awe my poor baby." I push the pharmacy door open. "I know, feel sorry for me." I chuckled at her and went to scan the isles to find what I needed. "Make sure you have a bubble bath tonight, relax have a glass of wine." "Scar's in tonight so we'll be filming tomorrow, no wine whilst filming." "Well have the bath and relax." "I wish you were here to have a bath with." "I'm going to try and come to see you before you go to Atlanta, Visit with mum and Cassie." "Really!" "Yeah, I have a few sessions scheduled in for LA that fall the same week." "You're the sweetest." "It's all business baby." "Just these ma'am?" "Yes please." I smile at the cashier and he gives me a dirty look. "Young people." "My third pregnancy scare of the month. It's crazy right." I say clearly being sarky with him. I swipe my card and take the bag and go home.

"I have to go... Don't have another pregnancy scare." Lizzie teased. "I'm going for one a week this next month." We both chuckled as I left the store the cameras still there. "How do you put up with the cameras?" "Ignore them or ruin the photos." "I flipped them off." She laughed at me before scolding me. "You can't do that." "Just did. Deal." "Deal? I've left you for two weeks and you're talking like my sister." "Well, my girlfriend abandoned me so I have no other friends and forced to hang out with your sisters, so deal." "Quit telling me to deal. You dork." "I'm the dork? You sent me a picture of your toast this morning. That's dorky, who does that?" "I was sharing my day with you." "Well for future day updates I don't need to know how many times you peed." "I thought you enjoyed my bathroom updates." "I don't." I deadpan. "I would love a pee update. Are you drinking enough?" "I've peed three times today and drank two litres of coffee." "Coffee isn't hydrating." "Go to set you loser." "Rude!" "Love you." I sang and we were both chuckling. "Drink water." "As we speak," I say holding my phone between my ear and shoulder as I get my water from my bag. "Thank you, bug. Love you." "Love you, go to set before you're fired." "They can't fire me." She sassed. "Yeah, yeah." "Call you later?" "I'll answer if I'm awake I have an early morning." "Okay, Angel." We both hang up and I continue to walk home. I take the stairs to my floor and then let myself in.
