#5 Dylan O'Brien - It Felt Too Real

Y/b/f/n = your best friend's name
Italics = thoughts in your head

You were about to do one of the hardest scenes of your LIFE: the death of your best friend. The scene is supposed to go like this..

Your character, Sage, gets held hostage by Theo. He figured getting to you would make Stiles snap and bring out his "inner Void." Turns out, his devious plan was to make you lose someone close to you as a way to hurt you, and he knows Stiles hates seeing you upset. Theo believes, getting Stiles to see you upset, will surely get Stiles pissed off and he would have no choice but to get his hands dirty.

The only thing was that Jeff wanted it to be full of emotion, so he asked you to call up the person you are closest with that wasn't a member of the cast. Of course, you chose y/b/f/n, your best friend in the whole wide world.

Currently, you are sitting in your chair, waiting for the next scene.. your scene. The scene you have been dreading ever since you found out what it was and who it was with.

"And cut!" Jeff announces. "Y/n! Cody! Y/b/f/n! You're up!"

Here we go.

After some preparations and Jeff giving you guys some pointers, you were ready.

"Action!"

*the scene*

You wake up in this dark room with rope around your hands, feet, and stomach that held you in place to a chair.

"What the hell," you mutter under your breath, trying to figure out where you were. However, as your eyes adjust to the darkness, you don't recognize anything that could pinpoint to where you were. You only noticed another figure that was directly across from you.

And then you make out who it is.

"Y-y/b/f/n?" you weakly call out. (Jeff figured to just leave their name as is as they were only going to be an extra.)

What are they doing here? Who could possibly do this?

"Well, well, well."
Theo.
"Look who's awake."

"What do you want, Theo?"
"I want what I always wanted. A pack. And what better way to get that than to kill for it."
"You wouldn't dare," you say through clenched teeth.
"Oh, but I would."
"They'll come for me, you know."
"I'm counting on that."

At that moment, y/b/f/n starts to wake up. They started to panic to the unfamiliar area around them. "Where am I?" They lock eyes with you. "Sage?... Wh-what's going on?"

Theo starts to make his way over to where y/b/f/n is.

"What are you doing?" you question.
"Oh, nothing," Theo extends out his claws, "Nothing. At. All."

You start to pull and tug at the ropes tied around you, panic rising in you as you try to break free and attack Theo from doing anything.

"Stay away from them!"

Theo grips onto y/b/f/n's hair and places his claws right against their neck.

"Don't do this," you say, on the verge of tears. "Please. Take me instead. Take me. Just let them go. They don't deserve this. I do."

*back on set*

As you are continuing the scene, the others start to get worried as you just went off script. Completely off script.

With that, Cody "cut" y/b/f/n's neck with his "claws." Blood started to ooze out of their neck. Well, fake skin, red makeup, and this goo-like substance to make it ooze out. Enough to make it realistic. Too realistic for your liking because you started to lose it. At this point, you weren't sure this was acting anymore, you felt as if it was real life and these were real events that were happening.

You scream a frightening, "NOOO!!!!!"

It was an ear piercing scream, almost as if you were playing Lydia right now. Not only that, but your breaths started to quicken and you started to uncontrollably cry.

*back to the scene*

After that, Theo disappears into the darkness from upon hearing footsteps come closer to where they were at. As if on cue, you saw the pack barge through the door to the sight before them.

You look up and lock eyes with Stiles, your boyfriend, as you continue to cry. Wide eyed, he runs over to you and unties the rope as the others dealt with y/b/f/n.

*back on set*

Dylan manages to get the ropes undone and, instantly, he pulls you down onto his lap.

Now he's going off script.

He pulls you onto his lap and holds you tightly, rocking you back and forth to get you to calm down.

"It's okay," he whispers in your ear, "It's okay. They're not actually dead. They're still alive."

The others gathered around you, looking at the directors all worried as you still continued to cry.

"Calm down, baby. Calm down," he continues, "Just breathe, alright? Breathe."

Jeff decided to call it. "And cut! Everyone take 15! Y/n, we'll continue your scenes tomorrow!"

Finally, you started to calm down and gather enough strength to look up at Dylan, who happens to be your actual boyfriend, too.

"It felt too real," you manage to get out.

He stares at you with sad eyes and just pulls you in a hug. Of course, you hug back.

"How about we go back to my trailer so you can lay down for a bit?"

You nod your head. "Yeah. I would like that."

So, you both got up and started to head towards his trailer. As you guys got in, you made your way to his bed and lied down, him crawling in next to you right after. You snuggled up to his side as he kisses your forehead and mutters an "I love you," before you drifted off to sleep.

"I love you, too," you whisper back before sleep took over your body from the exhaustion of all the screaming and crying you were doing just shortly before.

But, at least the scene was over.
