Baby I Loved You First- Leonetta

Chapter 2:

\Leon\

"And over here is the east hall." One of the co-producers says. Leon was currently on a tour of the school, along with Andres, where they would be filming at. They were going to be on location to make the movie more authentic. The school was fairly big and Leon found himself remembering old times. Times when he was a teenager and so in love that he thought he could conquer the world.

"And if you follow me this way I can show you the mathematics building." He leads him and Andres around the corner, just passing the library. The school seems larger as they walk in the other direction and Leon just hopes he doesn't get lost.

/Violetta/

"And as you can see this is the west hall." The co-producer announces. She's leading Violetta and Francesca around the school that the film is set in. It's in Santa Monica, and it's an outdoor type of school. The courtyard on her right is out in the open, while they walk under the awnings over the halls.

As they walked through the halls, Violetta couldn't help but remember a time when she was a teen; roaming the halls with the one she loves. It's different now. Those times are gone, and the little naive girl from then has changed.

"Over here we have the main office, let's have a look inside." Violetta can spot the library up ahead, but they stop right before it to enter the office. Violetta walks in after the producer, wondering which kind of places they will be filming for the movie.

\Leon\

After they walk through the mathematics building, the guy they are with leads them to the science building. He can see the main office in front of him now as they walk by and he hears the sound of the door opening as they walk past it.

The school is supposed to be closed for the tour, so the person exiting would have to be his costar. He has yet to know who he's working with, but hopefully he'll get to meet her today. The thought lingers in his mind as they approach the next building.

/Violetta/

Violetta walks out of the office, catching a glimpse of a small group walking by. It must be the male lead. She doesn't know who they guy is yet, but maybe she'll get to see him later today.

She follows along behind Francesca and the producer approaching a building that reminds her of her old high school.

"Here we have the art building. All the extra-curricular activities take place here." The producer leads them in, gesturing to the different rooms. "Over here we have the art rooms, and there we have our choir room. Oh and here we have our theatre." At that Violetta freezes in place, staring at the door. Memories flash through her mind, reminding her of the old days when she believed in the power of love.

Francesca notices, but doesn't say anything, letting Violetta have her moment as she follows the lady as she continues with the tour.

Violetta continues to stare at the door, deep in thought about the past. Theatre was her everything in high school. She lived for performing, still does. She has to have a look. Violetta makes sure no one is around and then pulls on the door handle. Luckily it's open and she's able to sneak in and check out the room.

It's bigger than the theatre she used to perform in, but it's similar. There are rows of seats as she walks down the aisle, touching the cool metal. She remembers she sat in chair so much likes this, waiting for her audition. There were times when she would sit here and admire everything about the theatre life, wondering about her future.

Suddenly, there's the sound of a door opening and Violetta stops walking. No one appears at first, but then someone is coming onto the stage. Violetta gasps and the person turns, looking just as shocked as she is.

"You."

\Leon\

"And this is what we refer to as the art zone. All the fine art classes are taught here. We have the choir room and media studies." He points to a particular door to put emphasis on it. "And this would be our theatre." Leon stops in his tracks, not sure how to feel. Theatre was the world to him when he was a teenager. And now, now he still performs, but it's not the same. Not when he doesn't have-

He shakes his head, watching as Andres and the guy continue forward. He can't keep walking though; he wants to see the room. He decides to take a chance and walks into the room, surprised that the door is open. It's dark for a moment, before he can see into the crowd. He's on the stage and it's just like he remembers. The feelings are still there of excitement and happiness. He catches sight of someone in the room and feels the blood drain from his body. It can't be...

"You."

He hasn't seen her in two years. Two years. And now she's standing there, looking as beautiful as ever. He feels like he's imagining it, so he clambers of the stage trying to reach her, but she looks scared. She moves to turn, but Lean can't stand to see her leave.

"Violetta." He whispers, gripping her arm. She stays quiet though, never letting words leave her lips. Instead she shakes his hold, quickly rushing out of the room and making her escape.

/Violetta/

Why? Why of all people did it have to be him? She was fine. She's been fine, but now. Now she doesn't even know what she's feeling. It's been so long since she last saw him and now that she has all those feelings are hitting her again. Happiness, worry, anger, sadness... It's all back. She was hoping to avoid him for the rest of her life, but now he here he is, possibly the lead in the movie she's starring in. She won't be able to do this. She'll have to quit. There's no way she could work with him, not after... high school.
