Secrets of the Moon

18

My heart pounds quickly in my chest as I sit up in bed and gasp for air. I look around me to notice I am at home in my bedroom. My hand reaches up to wipe the sweat off of my forehead as I take another deep breath.

Everything is okay. It was just a nightmare. Nothing to be scared off. Everything is okay now that I am awake.

I shake off my nerves and collect myself as I get up out of bed. Slowly, I tredge over to the bathroom to wash up before going to the walk-in closet and picking out my comfortable outfit for today. Once I'm all dressed and ready, I grab my keys and phone to head over to the university. It is nine o'clock when I pull into the parking lot. I get out of my car and walk over to the large tent they set up for meetings and script readings.

"There you are Davina. Right on time like always."

"Morning Marcell."

"Go ahead and take a seat and we will get started going over the scenes we will be filming today."

I glance over to see an empty seat beside Kyle. Rolling my eyes, I walk over to sit down.

I guess there is nothing I can do about it. I'm just going to have to sit here whether I want to or not.

My eyes leave Kyle to look up and notice Ethan sitting across from me. Abruptly, my face feels hot as his eyes look up from his script into mine. I try to calm my breathing down as I look away and focus on Marcell.

"Great, now let's start off with filming scenes of the two male characters. These scenes are going to mainly be fill-in scenes we will be showing in between the main ones. After that I want to film a couple scenes of Davina with each male co-star. We can start with Kyle and Davina. Once those are finished then we can film Davina and Ethan together. Does anyone have any questions?"

I shake my head along with everyone else.

"Okay great. I marked the scenes we will be shooting today in the manuscripts in front of you. Go ahead and take a look at them. Davina since it will be some time before we need you, feel free to hangout in your trailer. I will have someone come get you when it is time."

"Alright sounds good."

I grab the manuscript from the table as I get up and head over to my trailer to wait. I shut the door behind me before walking over and plunging down right on the sofa. My hands reach up to hold my head as my thoughts race.

So it was all a horrible nightmare. I am alive and apparently so is Ethan. Why did I have such a horrible dream? What could it possibly mean? Am I afraid of being attacked by Alec or losing Ethan? Or am I afraid of facing my future and making the final decision in my life? What am I going to do?

A knock occurs on my trailer door, interrupting my thoughts.

"Come in."

I hear the door creak open and shut once again. Lifting my head out of my hands, I look up to see Nick.

"Ah it's you," I say as I let my head fall into my hands again.

"Yes it's me. Are you okay? Do you have a headache?"

"I'm fine. It's nothing to worry about. What brings you here?"

"I was a little worried about you to be honest. You seemed a little out of it at the brief meeting we had. I just wanted to make sure you are okay."

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just have a lot on my mind."

"Anything I can help you with?"

I shake my head, "no unfortunately you can't. It's family problems so I think it is better if I try to solve it myself."
