A/N - Hey guys and welcome to Chapter Twenty-Three. Picture of Chelsea ^^^^^

----- Thomas' P.O.V -----

Today is the second day of filming this new movie. Yesterday was just getting to know our scripts, running through the lines every so often with different people to make sure that we can work together and look good together and pretty much getting used to the set up. Back at Chris' house as all of us have lead parts we have been practicing different scenes together so that we all have some sort of idea on how to act during the scene because sometimes you will just have no idea on what to do if you haven't gone through any of your lines beforehand. Then again, most actors and actresses will go through their scripts before starting filming as they want to get a handle on the character that they are playing and figure out how their character needs to be.

Saying that I am proud of Hannah would be an understatement; Hannah has done amazingly so far and honestly I couldn't ever expect more from her. She always loved to act, whenever we did productions back in school she would drag me into it because she didn't want to do it alone but if I said no then she would've done it alone as there was no way that she would miss out. I admire her for that. Hannah has such determination, such perseverance in this job. She always said that she didn't want to be in the spotlight, that the life of a celebrity wasn't for her and she wouldn't suit it but she has adapted quite well, it's always important not to let all the attention go to your head because if you do then you become one of those celebrities that the public don't like because of the way they carry themselves, the way they dress and basically the way they act.

Right now I am watching Hannah and Chris do a scene, in this movie Hannah and Chris are siblings. Chris is basically the over-protective brother and Hannah hates it - well her character does. This is an action movie about a girl discovering something about her father being in a dangerous gang, the girl's brother already knew about this and tried to keep his sister away from it but fails. The girl finds the head of the gang - who is the character I am cast as - and asks for answers about her father, each day the girl goes back to find out different things but as time goes on her and the leader get extremely close. The girl is already a fighter, she is an agent and her partner also knew about the gang and is actually in it but never told her. As the film progresses the girl tries not to get caught up in the business of the gang as that's what her brother wants but she doesn't succeed. She gets taken by a rival gang that know who she is and her father was the one that killed their previous leader. The leader of her gang realises what he feels for the girl - extremely cliché I know. In the end the girl is found but she is in a very bad state and the only thing she says is the leader's name. The movie will end with the girl saying the leader's name and her eyes shoot open in her hospital bed as she has been in a coma since her brother found her along with the leader and the leader's best friend.

The whole idea of the movie is very textbook, many people could've thought of this before but they haven't. I believe that this will be a hit though, because there aren't that many movies like this. They are all based on books or comics, never just something that a person has thought up and decided to write a movie about. When I first found out that this was written from scratch I was impressed, it's not everyday that people will write something from scratch and it will actually be good. I am already enjoying working on this set purely because of the people that I get to work with, as an actor I like to work with people that I get along with and most of the time that happens.

I decide to go into my dressing room for a while, it's not that I don't enjoy watching Hannah act, it's just I want to read for a while. I start to read but a knock on my door makes me stop "Come in" I say standing up and placing my book down. Chelsea walks in looking worse than she did the last time I saw her and the last time I saw her she looked like a prostitute. She smiles at me and I cross my arms "What are you doing here Chelsea?" I ask and she tries to look seductive "I am here for you" she says and I roll my eyes "You shouldn't be. I am with someone Chelsea, someone that I love too much to let go" I say and she scoffs "Oh please. You actually think that she loves you. She is using you Thomas, she is using you so that she can get acting jobs" she says and I shake my head "We both know that isn't true" I say.

----- Hannah's P.O.V -----

I have just finished the scene with Chris where my character - Summer - confronts her brother - Sean - about the gang that their father was involved with. It ends up getting pretty heated as they both argue about it; Sean doesn't want his sister getting involved with the gang like their dad. They don't have their mum as she died giving birth to Summer and their father died when Summer was only 15 and she is now 18. Sean is the only one that can protect her now and he refuses to let Summer end the same way as her father, he knows what happened to his father but he won't tell his little sister.

Currently I am walking to Thomas' dressing room, he was watching us film but I think he was getting a little tired. He hasn't been sleeping very well lately and I am not entirely sure as to why but knowing Thomas he will be fine within the next week or so. I push the door to Thomas' dressing room open and see him pushed against the wall with Chelsea on top of him, snogging his face off. I gasp as tears start to fall down my face, why would Thomas do this to me? He always said he loved me, I guess not. Thomas pushes Chelsea off him and looks to me "Darling" he says making a move to me but I hold out my hand "Don't bother" I say but he doesn't listen to me "Hannah, you need to believe me" he says and I shake my head "How? How am I supposed to believe you when I just saw you kissing her" I say pointing to Chelsea "It wasn't like that Hannah. She pushed me against that bloody wall and started kissing me" he says.

I don't want to hear anymore so I just walk out of the dressing room. I walk completely off set and to the car that Chris has lent Thomas and I for the duration of our stay as he knows we don't always want to get taxis. I just can't believe Thomas; I never thought that he was the type of guy to cheat. Especially after being with a girl for over a year. Thomas isn't the guy to cheat though; he has never looked at another woman whilst we have been together. None of this makes sense, my head is telling me that I need to leave Thomas because he cheated on me and then - as cheesy as this is - my heart is telling me to talk it out with him and hear his side.

I don't get a chance to think anymore as a fuel lorry crashes into my side of the car. Making the car flip over and slide right into the barrier on the side of the motor way. The last thing I hear is sirens. Then everything goes black.
