Fake It 'Til You Make It - Hamliza

Chapter 12: The Return Of Chelsea

Eliza opened her bedroom door. It was Wednesday morning, and she was in a good mood before work. When she opened the door, she saw Angelica, with a big smile plastered across her face. "What?"
"You and Alexander obviously did it. Thirty minutes ago you went to use the bathroom, and you were half awake and your clothes were wrinkled and your hair was all messed up. Even though you were half awake you were smiling." Eliza blushed. "Okay so maybe we did..." Alexander walked out of the bedroom, in a good mood.

"Oh um- hello?" He said to Angelica. She smiled and waved happily to him. "I'll leave you two to talk. I'm just here to take Pip for the day." She said and went to pick up the toddler from the couch.
Eliza blushed and looked at Alexander. "She figured it out." She whispered and kissed his cheek. He smirked and squished her butt. "Well then we better get ready for work before everyone else figures it out too." He whispered back.

She nodded, and he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. "Alex-! What was the point of that?!", she giggled. "One: you're precious and I love you, and two: to be more sexy." Eliza blushed. "But you already are sexy." She slapped his butt. "Hey!"
She got dressed into a small yellow sundress, and helped Philip get dressed before they drove him to preschool.

"You look so hot, baby." Alexander smirked, being quiet so Pip wouldn't hear from the back seat. Eliza sighed and shook her head as she looked out the window. Pip started crying while they were 10 minutes away from the preschool. Eliza reached back so he could hold her hand.
"What's wrong, baby boy?" She asked, worried zsince he hasn't done this in a while. "I want to stay with you and Mr. H!" He sobbed.

"I know baby but we have to go to work and you have your friends and Mrs. French! You know Theo, right? She's your best friend, right?" Pip nodded and folded his arms. "Look, I know that other than Theo you don't know any of the other kids, but try to make more friends, okay?" Pip shook his head as they pulled into the preschool plaza.

"No please! I wanna stay with you!" Pip continued to scream and cry. Eliza sighed and got out of the car, picking up the toddler from his car seat. "C'mon, baby boy. You can't come today. Maybe next week, ok? I'll ask my boss." She promised him and kissed his head, rubbing his back until he finally calmed down enough to go into the school.

"Alright. We aren't as late as two days ago", said Alex, as they walked out of the car, luckily the paparazzi were not here. Eliza waved goodbye to him as she walked over to her trailer. "Hi Diana! Who finally got casted as my sister?", she asked. Diana shrugged. "I don't know, actually! They just casted her this morning! So, what would you like today?"
"They are supposed to be driving as Charlotte is crying away from the hospital since, you know, Dylan is in a coma, so something casual." Diana nodded and tied Eliza's hair into a ponytail, and Eliza changed into a T-shirt and jeans.

"What do you think?" Diana asked once Eliza was dressed. Eliza smiled and put her hands on her hips. "I think I look amazing! Very comfortable, by the way. You're amazing!" She said and hugged Diana, being super careful not to ruin her make up.
Alexander knocked on the trailer door and walked in. "How is my favorite movie star doing?" He asked and kissed Eliza's head. "Better now that you're here- no offense, Diana."

"None taken", she chuckled. Alexander smiled and hugged Eliza. "The new girl got out of her trailer! Let's see who she is!" Eliza nodded, and they walked out together, frightened by who they saw.

"Hello, assholes." Chelsea muttered and crossed her arms over her chest. Eliza rolled her eyes. "We're not attempted murderers, Chels." Alexander snapped and pulled Eliza closer to him, earning some attention from the paparazzi, "now leave us alone!"

Chelsea had a smile plastered against her face, which Eliza knew was fake. "C'mon, Liz! Let's go practice our lines, like best friends do!" She grabbed her arm, and Eliza looked at Alexander helplessly. He was about to say something, but then Chelsea pulled her away.
Eliza knew Chelsea and her were not going to practice their lines, especially when Chelsea escorted her past where she left her papers. "Now look. You stole my boyfriend."
"I thought he was your fiancé." Chelsea turned red. "See, this is the problem: you." Eliza raised her eyebrow, confused. "Alexander and I would've continued dating if you didn't exist in the first place. You have nothing to live for. You're a fat and fugly whore." She looked up at one of the prop buildings. "So why don't you go jump off a building like that. It would do everyone a favor."

Eliza teared up and started crying. "If you tell Alexander any of what I said, I'll hurt Pip. And I'll know. I have eyes and ears everywhere." Chelsea said and held Eliza's wrist so it hurt. Eliza nodded quietly and tried to stop crying but it hurt to hear someone call her all the things she worked so hard on as a little girl. It wasn't fair.

"Places!" Eliza and Chelsea ran over to the car set, and they sat next to each other in the back seat. Alexander was also watching. "3...2...1...ACTION!"
Chelsea/Denise rubbed Eliza/Charlotte's shoulder "he will be awake soon", she said in a soft voice. "What if he never wakes up?", Charlotte/Eliza cried. It wasn't hard for her to cry after what Chelsea said to her. "Now now-"
"It's my fault", she interrupted. Chelsea/Denise scooted closer, and stepped on Eliza/Charlottes foot, since it was out of the frame. "No it's not your fault-" she felt extremely uncomfortable, "DON'T TOUCH ME!", she screamed. That was not in the script. Chelsea remained in character, and her eyes widened. "Finally we are home!", Charlotte/Eliza got out of the car set. "Cut! That was amazing!"

"Excuse me-" Eliza mumbled and ran to her trailer to fix her make up. Alexander saw that her distressed look was real so he followed her to try and make her feel better. He walked in and saw her sobbing to Diana. "Oh Lizzy- what's wrong-?" He asked gently and rubbed her back.

"Nothing", she said, not wanting to look at him. "Eliza-"
"I SAID NOTHING! I'M FINE!", she yelled. Diana stood there awkwardly. "I'll leave you two alone to talk..." she shut the trailer door. Eliza let out more tears. "I'm sorry I yelled at you..."
"It's alright.. please tell me what's wrong." She shook her head. "Why?" She shook her head again. "Chelsea said not to tell anyone-"
"Fuck Chelsea. She can suck a crusty cock." That made Eliza giggle a bit, and she sat on his lap. "Do you wanna talk about it at home?" Eliza nodded. "Okay." He kissed her head.
