loml - Walker Scobell

2. last set day

it was officially the last day of filming! we had a few scenes left and that was it. i am so sad that i have to leave this wonderful crew on set. meeting walker and aryan definitely helped me find the spark in myself that i never knew i had. they are the bestest best friends i could ever have. actually anyone could ever have for that matter.

the scenes today were going to be hard, so i had to put my all into them. walker and i had two difficult scenes, then i had one with walker and aryan, then finally there was one i had with my on screen-mom. i was excited and nervous for my scenes with walker.

basically annabeth was leaving for a while and she doesn't know if she is even coming back, then her and percy both are like crying and stuff and it is really intense. i think my most intense scene that is worse than this one was when i was in the woods and screaming my lungs off and sobbing for walker's character, percy. it was so different and hard but i got it done.

it was our lunch break and the three of us were sitting in my trailer and eating.

"are you guys excited for it to end? or do you not want it to end?" i asked them, taking a bite out of my sandwich.

"me personally im kind of excited for it to end so i can rest. i loved filming so so much but it will be nice to actually get some sleep when it's over," aryan laughed.

i raised my eyebrows and nodded, looking over to walker while i was chewing.

"i don't want it to end. im really going to miss you guys," he frowned before taking a bite out of his sandwich.

"me personally it's both. like aryan said it will be nice to finally rest but i also am not ready to part with you guys yet," i spoke up.

just then, my makeup artist walked into my trailer and interrupted our conversation.

"ready for the touch up?" she asked me.

i checked the time on my phone, "jeez that went fast, ill see you guys in a few minutes," i told walker and aryan as they left my trailer and went to theirs.

"i don't want it to end melanie," i admitted to her as she redid part of my makeup.

"honestly me neither sweetie, it has been so fun being on set with you," she smiled as she patted the makeup sponge on my face.

i pulled my knee to my chest and smiled back lightly and sighing. hopefully this day goes slow.

and it was over. all of our memories from set have stopped being made. walker, aryan, and i were on the way home as we just got in the car. i started to cry silently while looking out the window.

"im sad it's over," aryan finally mumbled after a few minutes of silence.

"me too," walker said, as i heard him sniffle.

i looked over to him and he turned his head towards me, our eyes both glossy and read from the tears. we locked eyes and i cried harder, turning away. aryan came from behind my seat and wrapped his arms around the top of my body. i grabbed his arm and smiled, leaning my head into his shoulder. i sniffled and thanked him as he pulled away.

"promise we will try to hangout every week?" i asked them both.

"of course!" aryan said from the back.

walker sucked his lips in as i turned to him. he avoided eye contact. i tilted my head and stared at him in question, wiping my eyes with my sleeve.

"walker.. what?" i asked him nervously.

"i need to tell you guys something," he sighed and sniffled again.

aryan and i both waited for his response with wide eyes.

"i booked another acting job," he whispered.

"im so happy for you walk!" i cheered, placing my hand on his that was resting on the console.

"yeah that's awesome man!" aryan patted his shoulder from behind.

walker stared at me. i stared back at him, my smile dropping. i knew what he meant now.

"no, no no no, i can't let you go," i cried even harder.

"im sorry liv," his lip quivered and a tear fell from his eye.

"what's going on? what's happening?" aryan is asked us weirdly.

"aryan im going overseas for the movie im filming, and it might take over a year."

walker told me about this audition months ago. he told me all about where it was being filmed and how he doubted he would get the leading role, but i guess he did.

"shut the front door," aryan's jaw dropped.

walker nodded slowly, pulling up to aryan's house. aryan hopped out and so did walker. i pulled my knees to my chest and put my hood up. i couldn't do this. walker was one of my best friends how was i supposed to not see him for a year. aryan means everything to me but walker is just a different level.

i looked out the window as they both shut their car doors and bro hugged. i saw aryan saying something to walker before grabbing his stuff and walking inside. i turned my head back towards the window as walker got back in the car. i couldn't look at him. i felt his eyes on me as he pulled away from aryan's house and started down the road towards mine. a few minutes later he spoke up.

"im sorry," he muttered, his hand gripping the steering wheel and the other resting on the console.

"i can't not see you for over a year. that would be torture," i said lightly as i sniffled.

"i know, i know, we can facetime and text at any time we can. the three of us can work this out! it will be fine it's not like we will all drift apart," walker reassured me.

i tried to smile and i looked over to him, nodding. i knew that wouldn't happen. we wouldn't call often since we would be in completely different time zones. it just wouldn't work out. i needed to see my 2 best friends in person all the time.

"when are you leaving?" i asked quietly.

"a couple months, after the percy jackson press tour ends im gone," he bit his lip.

a tear slipped down my face.

we didn't say anything for the rest of the car ride. walker pulled into my driveway and i grabbed my bag, slowly opening the door and stepping out. i didn't know if i needed to say anything else. i didn't know if i wanted to talk about this any longer.

"thanks," i snapped before slamming the door shut and running inside.

i didn't understand why i was mad. i should be happy for him, like jumping up and down with joy, but im really not. of course im sort of proud of him but i just don't want him to leave. this is making me sound like im obsessed with him or something but i got so attached to him and aryan it's not even funny.

i laid in bed for a while, shedding a few tears and just scrolling through instagram. it started to peacefully rain outside and i smiled as i watched it hit my window. i loved rain, it calmed me down. i put one airpod in and listened to frank ocean for about half an hour before starting to doze off.

suddenly, i was jerked awake once i heard a knock on my window.
