Being stabbed in the heart. That's how Arielle felt when she saw him walking up to set. She had forgotten that she worked with him. Which was a stupid move on her behalf. She looked at him far longer than an ex should've but she couldn't stop. It was as if her eyes couldn't move anymore.
A body almost immediately nudged in her side as she gasped and jumped, "What the fuck, Tracy?" she shouted; her hand on her heart. "You shouldn't be looking at him. It's better if we don't tell the directors." she hissed at her. "I know. I know." Arielle mumbled in her hands; sniffing a little. On the sound of one of her closest friends on the verge of crying again, Tracy's eyes immediately softened as she quietly said; "It'll be okay." To which Arielle picked her pounding head up and whispered, "What if it doesn't?" With one hand on Arielle's cheek; she replied, "Then we'll figure it out together." As she wiped the one tear drop that was falling from her face and got up to freshen up before the director started looking for her.
Her hands curl up as she stood in front of the mirror; her body unexpectedly starting to feel weak. She looked at the mirror; almost in disgust with herself. What was she doing? Crying, not sleeping and not having an appetite because of a breakup? This wasn't her. Her family especially Chris would've yelled at her; telling her to just move on but she couldn't. She couldn't try.
"Elle?" A voice which she recognized as Tracy's yelled from outside the door. "Yeah. I'm coming." Arielle replied in low voice. Just as she was wiping her eyes; the door of the restroom opened up. She let out a gasp as Jesse came rushing in slightly panicked; muttering in a slow tone, "Tracy looked worried so I thought something happened to you." She looked at him, who immediately on seeing her red eyes started looking concerned. "Are you okay?" he managed to say. Arielle nodded at him; knowing well that her voice would break if she spoke. The distance between them was large but still they were too close that they both almost couldn't breathe.
None of them spoke as she turned her head back to the mirror. "I hope you know that I'm sorry." she whispered loud enough for him to hear as she looked at him. From the mirror, she could see the sudden way his jaw clenched and his body went tense. "I know." he replied; his adam's apple bobbing as he spoke. "I want you to know th-" Arielle had opened up her mouth when Tracy went rushing in. She knelt down on what Arielle would call a 'dirty floor' and started cursing. "Shit." she yelled as she stood up again and started pacing around the restroom, "Brian just asked where the fuck Arielle and Jesse are and I-I might have panicked." she full on rambled as Arielle looked at Jesse; both of them concerned as they simultaneously asked, "What did you tell him?" "I-I" she whispered as she nervously bit on her nails and stopped walking as she stared at them and said, "I told him that you guys were having makeup sex!" All the color drained from both their faces as Arielle, who was just crying; screeched,
"What the fuck happened to NOT telling them??"
