Our Song ON HOLD

6. Outta Here

Damian POV

A loud banging startles me awake and without thinking I raise my fist to punch whoever it is that startled me. As my vision begins to settle I realise I am still in Libbie's trailer. She is still fast asleep on me all be it her head has moved from against my shoulder to in my lap and my hand is now resting on her hip instead of her arm.

I quickly realise that I must have fallen asleep with her and the banging is whoever is on the other side of the door. Gently I lift her head and move replacing my lap with a cushion and then make my way to the door.

"Where is she? You both should have been on set an hour ago" the director shouts at me

"She's resting, she's not ready to film just yet" I say calmly

"Not ready! Not ready! We don't have all day" he snaps

"Well your little performance this morning not only upset her but it tired her out" I snap back "so you know what, shoots over for today, she's needs to rest and I'm getting her outta her" I say looking over a Delila who nods at me in agreement.

I head back inside and close the door to the sound of him shouting  and carrying on at Delila and head back over to Libbie, I place my hand on her shoulder and rouse her gently. As her eyes open she smiles softly at me and stretches a little.

"Come on nightingale, get dressed I'm getting you out of here" I say softly

"How long was I out? Is the day over?" She asks sitting up

"No but today's shoot is" I say "Delila agreed and now you and I are getting out of here, you need a break"

With no words at all and no arguments she stands up from the couch and walks to the back of her trailer. Within moments she is back in casual clothing with her handbag on her arm.

"You ready" I ask and she nods

Wrapping an arm around her shoulder I open the door and guide her out of the trailer. The director tries to talk to her but I just guide her to keep on walking ignoring him completely.

I take her out to my car and open the passenger seat for her helping her in before closing it. I walk around to the drivers side only to be stopped by a hand on my arm.

"Thank you for looking after her today" Delila says "she won't admit it but she needs someone like you in her life. Take care of her and make sure she has a proper break for the rest of the day"

"I will don't worry" I say "and you don't need to thank me, and I agree and she will find that some one one day"

"I think she already has" she says almost in audibly

"What was that?" I ask and she shakes her head

"Oh nothing" she smiles "thanks again"

Getting in the car I turn on the engine and drive away from the studio, my intention is to get her as far away from the studio as possible so she can breathe and relax. Somewhere where she won't hear him screaming at her and upsetting her.

"So where are you taking me?" She asks

"Away from that place" I say as I turn a corner "you need a break"

I carry on driving until I find a quiet place amongst some mountains. I help her out of the car and walk her around to sit her on the hood only she has other ideas.

I watch as she walks over the cliff edge and closes her eyes as the breeze blows over her making her long hair wrap around her.

"It's beautiful up here" she says "come look at this"

I walk over and stand behind her, she's right it is beautiful and the perfect spot for her to relax and get over today. I'm stood close enough that I feel her shiver a little and without even thinking I brush her hair over her shoulder before wrapping my arms around her from behind.

To my surprise she leans back against me and sighs gently, I rest my chin on her head and she wraps her arms over mine and we take in the view together.

"Do you think I'm crazy for using this video to live out my dreams?" She asks

"Not really, it's natural you want to know what all the things you want feel like when you have them" I say "but there is one small problem though.......how they feel with me will not be the same as they will feel when you get to have them with the one you've been looking for"

"I know, but I've given up hope of ever finding that person" she says "of ever finding anyone that will stay with me. Everyone leaves and there are so many reasons, I'm never home, I'm too busy, my job is more important than them, they've found some one better, I can't..........I can't give them what they want"

"If those are their reasons for leaving then they weren't worthy of you, they didn't deserve you" I say "sometimes you have to kiss alot of frogs to find your Prince, but you will find him I promise"

It was in this moment as the words left my lips that I realised at some point something had happened that made saying these things a little bit harder. It was in this moment that I realised I wanted to be that some one for her, I had allowed myself to develop feelings for her, feelings that were unreciprocated and now I had a big problem.
