You and I

Chapter 13

Peyton POV

From the moment of when I walked on set this morning, I could see the hurt in Rowans eyes.

I hated myself because I knew that the hurt I was seeing came from me.

I wish she would talk to me. I wish she'd forgive me. I wish that I wasn't so stupid and that I would've trust Rowan.

I just finished a scene in class and now was a scene that Rowan had with Brian.

-On stage-

Riley/Rowan walks through the school hallways, but Ryan/Brian stops her. Then he grabs her face and kisses her, then moves his hands to her waist.

The jealousy was boiling up in me and I didn't know what to do. I clenched my fists so hard it hurt. That should be me kissing her, not Brian, on or off stage.

Riley pushed Ryan off and then the director yelled, "CUT!!!"

-Off stage-

Rowan went to talk to Sabrina and I walked over to Brian.

"Hey dude." He said.

"Hey." I huffed, still angry about his and Rowans kiss. I knew that he was acting, but still.

"So, are you and Rowan dating?" He asked, interested. He wasn't thinking about dating her, was he?

"Yes we are." I said.

"Well because when I asked her this morning she sounded uncertain." He said with a smirk he was trying to hide, but I could see.

"Every couple goes through some rough spots." I stated. This guy was getting on my nerves.

"Well you should be careful with a girl like her. She's special." He said, looking at Rowan.

"Yeah, and she's also mine." I said.

"Ok, ok dude calm down. I'm not saying I'm in love with her. But I mean anyone can see that she's beautiful. All I'm saying is, I'd be careful if I were you. It's not everyday that you get a chance with someone like her."

He was right. And I blew it. I had to fix this.

I walked over to Rowan and said, "Can we talk?"

Sabrina automatically walked away. She wanted us to be together and knew that this conversation depended on it.

"Um, ok." Rowan said uncomfortably.

I sat down next to her. "Look Rowan, I do trust you. It's just, when I saw you and Brian, I was jealous. I want to be the only guy in your life. But your an actor, and there's gonna be A LOT of guys. But I trust you. I trust you more than anyone in the world. I was just being stupid and jealous. And I didn't mean to make you feel shallow. I know you wouldn't cheat on me. I was just being plain stupid. I'm sorry."

Her beautiful brown eyes looked up at me and said, "I forgive you. It's ok." She wrapped her arms around my neck and I kissed her. I kissed her deeply, passionately, happy to have her back. I didn't care who was watching us.

Once we broke apart, our director walked past us and said, "Good, keep the love in the air because we have another "Rucas" scene."

Rowan and I laughed and then sat up.

"I love my job." I said to her.

"Me too."
