Black and White Hearts 2

Chapter 34: This Isn't Right

Sadie sits in the hair and makeup room, her makeup being all done with her curly shoulder length hair up in a bun with some curly strands hanging free, her wearing some light blue jeans and a long sleeved crop top and sneakers, her thankful that she doesn't have to wear heels.

She goes over to the door of the room and goes to lock it, her just wanting to be alone right now. That restless feeling is starting to get to her now, her almost on the verge of tears because of the pit she feels in her stomach. She hates the feeling, her being so restless to where she barely really sleeps but at the same time exhausted to where she feels like she is moving in slow motion, but her still performing at her job well because she has to, it is what she signed up for, and she loves doing it, it is just some days are bad days.

Like today.

She goes to sit down in one of the director chairs, her hopping up a little on it due to how high it is. She just puts her AirPods in before going to play some music, them being noise cancelling to where she cannot hear anything but the music.

And it does help her a little bit, help her to get into her vulnerable stage of her character in the next scene. When she is not feeling the best or when she does need to show vulnerability in her scenes she always picks out Billie Ellish, her being one of her favorite artists.

She just goes through her gallery when she doesn't want to look through social media, her smiling as she scrolls through the many of pictures she took with Caleb. She looks at one specific picture, it being of her smiling widely while he kisses her cheek while holding her up bridal style, them being at their beach at the house.

Her eyes well up a little with tears, her going over to his contact, her thumb hovering over the call icon.

"Caleb you want some more nachos?" Jenna questions.

"No I'm good." Caleb responds.

Jenna nods, her going to walk off.

Caleb pulls out his phone when it rings, him going to get up and make his way outside where it is quiet to answer the phone. "Sades?"

"Hi Caleb." Sadie greets.

Caleb breaths a little while his eyes go to close. "Hey precious." He says while rubbing his face a little. "God it's so good to hear your voice."

"It's good to hear yours too." She replies.

"How are you?"

Sadie just shakes her head lightly with her eyes closed. "I really don't want to talk about it. Can we talk about something else?"

"Yeah." Caleb responds, him leaning his back on the wall while his other hand is in his pocket. "What do you want to talk about?"

Sadie shrugs a little bit. "I don't know anything, I just really want to hear your voice right now."

Caleb smiles softly. "Okay umm...." He tries to think. "You remember that day where we just had a lazy day? Well we wanted to have a lazy day but Lola ended up getting into the pantry somehow and we had to take her to the vet?"

Sadie laughs while nodding. "Yeah. She is a curious cat."

"That she is." Caleb smiles. "But after we got back and put her to sleep we spent the day outside in the sand. Making sandcastles, running out in the water, having a picnic, is just singing along to our favorite songs while dancing together."

Sadie smiles more, her remembering the memory like it was yesterday. "Yeah."

"Then that song you like so much came on, Until I found you by Stephen Sanchez." Caleb smiles. "You ran to the beach, your hair flowing in the wind, you spinning around and looking so carefree and happy. God I love it when you are so carefree. I know during some interviews and out in some public places you get reserved, to where you are not really yourself, but when you are just carefree, enjoying the moment it is the most beautiful thing in the world."
