Intoxication, Paranoia & A lot of Fame

Chapter 13

Kellin's POV

"Ow fuck," I muttered as I began to pick myself up from the sidewalk. I looked over at the person who ran into me to see that it's none other than Vic, who caught my glance before hastily standing back up. I copied his actions and winced as I put pressure on my ankle. I guess the clouds didn't hear my prayers after all.

"Shit, are you okay?" he asked from above me, extending a hand out to help me up.

I rolled my eyes, remembering all too well what happened last time we were in this situation before reluctantly grabbing his hand. As he helped me to my feet, I noticed the two people standing behind him, Mike and that Jaime guy.

"So where are you guys headed?" I asked the group, as I brushed myself off. I looked at Jaime expectantly, knowing full well that Vic and Mike weren't going tell me, not that it's any of my business, but the curiosity is killing me.

Jaime hesitated before Vic cleared his throat and spoke for him.

"We're going out," he said matter of factly as he brushed me aside. "Now if you'll excuse us."

I swear I'm going to get whiplash from his emotions. I just rolled my eyes and watched as the three hurried past me and disappeared down the sidewalk.

I hesitated before deciding that I've had enough of this secrecy.

I'm going to find out where they're going.

I had to hurry down the sidewalk in an attempt to follow them without being too obvious. It was a much harder task than I originally thought, considering it was a busy night outside with the crowds of people, loud cars in the streets and distracting lights everywhere. I kept my eyes focused on Mike, who stood taller than everyone else, but with the dimming sky it was starting to get harder and harder to see him. Before long, Mike was out of sight and I lost them.

Vic's POV:

"Okay guys we have to hurry or we're going to be late." I mentioned to the guys as we sped walked down the sidewalk. We were headed to our usual late night shoot at the studio and it was really Mike who needed to be there the most, he's one of the camera men after all.

We finally reached the building and turned down the dark alley on its side.

"Jaime, hand me the key," I demanded. We were now officially 3 minutes late. Thank you Kellin.

He hands me the keys and I hastily opened the door, holding it open to let Mike get wherever he needed to be inside before following him in. With Mike gone, Jaime and I hurried to the schedule posted on the board to see what room we were scheduled in for this evening. I shined my phone's flashlight to get a good look at the paper through the complete darkness. They keep the entire building dark so we can shoot our videos without disruption from outside the different sets.

"Fuck," I muttered as I saw who I was scheduled with today. "I'm with fucking Jenna. Again."

"Dude you're so lucky!" Jaime said from beside me. "What are you guys acting out this time?" he asked, scanning the schedule for my plot. "No way," he gasped.

"Shit, what is it?" I asked as I frantically searched for what Jaime was getting all worked up about. My eyes finally landed on my plot and I choked on air, coughing in disgust. "A student/teacher scene? Really?" I spat. How original.

"Don't even complain man, I would trade with you in a heart beat! I've got a nature scene with the new guy, Tony."

"Hey, I've heard good things about Tony," I assured him. "But about Jenna, I don't know what it is about her man, I just can't get into it," I replied, mentally gagging as we headed to our separate sets.
