Elizabeth POV

I was standing beside Jeremy as we watched back what we just filmed, filming was wrapping up nicely now, when I got back I got a lot of 'I'm glad you're better' and when I looked at them confused, they asked if I had some sort of foggy brain then I just laughed awkwardly and thanked them remembering the excuse I had so I could be with Y/N. I hated how much I missed her already but I knew that I couldn't keep going back and forth between seeing her and trying to film or it would never get done, so I would have to make due for now.

But what if she thought I was clingy? We spent a week together then she left and then not even twenty-four hours later I was on a flight to see her again. And we just spent another week together and I doubt she would tell me if she wanted space.

I mean what if she wanted me to go but she didn't wanna be mean, but she really just wanted me gone? No, no, no. She wanted you there. I told myself not wanting to put pressure on myself by convincing myself she didn't want me with her.

I just need to get through filming, just a few more weeks, maybe I should just give her some space.

Focus on filming, There wasn't that much left for me to film, we had to film the hospital scene then reshoots, then I would be done, then they could start the editing process and the rest of the production process.

Right now I was in makeup, to get ready for the hospital scene, then I would be done for the day, then I could spend the of the day wallowing in self-pity.

I took a deep breath and yawned, apologizing to the makeup artists, then angling my head as they had it, I didn't want to get engrossed in my thoughts again, "Can you play some music?" I asked them and they said okay, asking what I wanted to listen to, "Anything is fine I just wanna listen."

It took a second but then I recognized Whitney Houston's voice playing and I thought of Y/N, she was listening to that when I called her a few days ago, and I frowned.

Fixing my face when the makeup artist asked me to relax my face, and I did, taking a deep breath before releasing and un-tensing my body, so they could finish adding the fake bruises to my skin.

The music continued in the background as they, continued doing the makeup until they were done and then I had to go into the 'hospital', I laid in the hospital bed and let them hook the stuff up to me, and Jeremy came in.

"Wow," he started looking me over as they were still plugging everything in, "you look like shit." I chuckled and rolled my eyes. I wanted to say 'I felt like shit' but I kept it in, he sat at the end of the bed, "So, how's Y/N?" My eyes widened and I choked on air, my face growing hot and he smirked.

"Wh-what do you mean?" I asked trying to regain my breath and he just raised his eyebrow suggestively. "How's you know?"

"I saw the hickeys on your neck when you got in yesterday." I shook my head at myself thinking I had covered them enough with my hair, guess not. "So, how is she?" He asked again and I rolled my eyes at the teasing undertone in his voice, and they were done setting everything so we would start filming soon.

"She's doing good," I answered shortly and he pursued his lips but nodded, it's not that I didn't want to talk about her because I did, she's amazing and I could go on and on about all the things I love about her but I seriously got in my head.

He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by the director saying we could start filming, we both got into our places- Jermey did I was already lying on the bed- I took a deep breath trying to clear my mind as the director yelled, "action!"

Immediately we got into character to film the scene, the previous conversation leaving my mind as I focused on remembering my lines, and actions I needed to do for the scene.

We finished the scene after two takes, but we filmed again at different angles, so they could choose from them when editing, when the director was happy with the scenes we were able to go, the crew came over to get me unplugged from everything and immediately I went to my trailer to change my clothes.

I changed into some jeans and one of Y/N's shirts I 'borrowed' from her, it smelled like her and it made me smile, I didn't mind that it was a little big on me, I was just glad to be reminded of her when I missed her.

Though I could just call her, so I could see her pretty face again, the thought put a smile on my face, but it slowly faded and I took a deep breath, grabbing my bag, I pulled my phone out to call an Uber, I left the trailer and Jeremy was standing there.

"Hey, I was just about to ask you to lunch?" He trailed off, waiting for my answer, and I bit my lip.

"I'm not hungry." I denied and at the same time my stomach let out a growl I growled in annoyance and he rose his eyebrow at me.

"Seems like you're pretty hungry, c'mon." He didn't leave room for argument and I sighed defeatedly, canceling my Uber and walking behind him to his car. I sat in the passenger seat, and he turned on the car, he turned to look at me, "You alright?"

I just nodded because I had no reason to be upset, I made up the problem in my head and I don't even know if it's true or not and I'm letting it bring down my mood.

I took a deep breath and nodded again, but opened my mouth to verbally answer, "Yeah, I might be starting my period or something." I lied and he made a face and I giggled, and he chuckled before pulling out, of the parking lot, and driving, "Where are we going?" I asked after he was driving for a few minutes and he looked at me confused.

"What? You were supposed to be paying attention, c'mon Elizabeth." I side-eyed him and he chuckled, "I'm just kidding, there's this place I heard about that's where we're going."

I nodded somewhat satisfied with his answer and turned to look out the window again, my thoughts wandering to the woman who held my heart.

-

I was finally back in my trailer, I had a good time with Jeremy though it was very clear he was trying to get me out of the rut I was in. And I appreciated it, it felt nice to know he cared enough to try and help me.

I got some clothes and went to take a shower, letting the water run over my body, I sighed, running my hands through my hair and exhaling through my nose, I stayed under the water until the water started getting cold and I washed up, getting out putting on some nightwear.

I was in the main area of my trailer, using a towel to dry my wet hair, when I knew it wouldn't drip I put the towel in the bathroom, grabbed my phone, and went into my 'bedroom' and laid out in the bed.

I answered some texts and missed calls, as I was about to answer a text from my sister, a call came through and immediately all my movements froze.

As I looked at Y/Ns name displayed across my phone screen, my thumb hovered over the answer button but I moved my thumb and let it ring, I slowly put my phone down, putting it on silent and flipping it over as I turned to face the opposite direction.

Taking a pillow to hold in my arms as I stared blankly at the trailer wall in front of me, squeezing my eyes shut.
