If This Was A Movie - A Joshifer Fanfiction

Chapter 11

November 19th. Today's the day before the big release.
It's been three days since the LA premiere of Mockingjay and today is finally the day before the official release date. Some fans have already seen the movie at premieres or early showings, but tomorrow's the worldwide release.
I'm excited but I'm also extremely anxious. What if they don't like it? This is the very last film; what if they aren't pleased with the ending? My mind races a mile a minute with questions. I hope they do like it.
My thoughts are interrupted by the sound of paparazzi. Of course. Ugh.
They stand posed on the sidewalk, talking photos of me. "JENNIFER! JENNIFER OVER HERE!" They call, taunting me. Their yelling is overwhelming, and all I can do is to keep walking. Cameras flash, capturing me and my makeup-less face. I'm on my way home for the first time in days. Well, one of my homes, at least. My Los Angeles home.
I walk down the street towards the car waiting for me. People are staring, some are screaming. I'm not feeling that great today, but I stop to sign some autographs for them. I smile at them and sign whatever they want me to; that sometimes being someone's phone or their shirt. I laugh at their enthusiasm and reach out to hug one of them, but my security guard pulls me away. He drags me down the sidewalk and to the car. I sigh. Even though I'm going home, I'm still on a schedule.
I get into the car and am immediately met with an attendant explaining my schedule for today. She explains it verbally, but she's talking so fast that I don't understand what she's saying.
I spend the entire time in the car staring blankly out the window, not really thinking about anything. It's strange to watch people living their daily lives pass by so simply; it really shows how truly small out lives are, on the grand scale of things.
My phone buzzes from my pocket. I recognize the text tone; it's Josh. I take my phone out of my pocket and unlock it. I look at my phone, puzzled. Why would he text me? He'd usually call or just come over. Another notification pops up. I tap on it. The message reads: Francis said there'd be a cast dinner tonight, do you want to come?
Wait, did he just invite me to dinner? I blush. Then I realize that he's talking about the entire cast, not just me. I text him back. Of course, Joshy. I'll see you there. He then sends me the location and time of the event. It's later tonight, so I'll have time to relax before I leave. Relax. The word is so foreign to me. I actually prefer to stay busy, it keeps my mind off of the pressure of being an actress, but now I have time to rest and I feel fragile. I feel vulnerable, and I don't really like it.
We are now traveling through a very upscale community, with what looks like a park surrounding it. After passing that, we come to stop at a large and guarded gate that we're soon through. The car finally comes to a stop in front of my house. I get out, thankful that my neighborhood is gated. There's no paparazzi here, thank god.
I walk up the pathway to my house, and that's when my phone begins to ring. I take it out of my purse, checking to see who it is. It's Nick. What the hell? I told him to leave me alone! I immediately hit ignore. I'm beginning to get pissed off again.
My door is opened by a security guard and I walk in, thankful to finally be at home. I sit down on one of the plush armchairs in the living room and look at my phone. Nick has texted me twice. Jennifer, why are you ignoring me?! Oh my god. I'm done with his bullshit.
My phone rings again, and his caller ID pops up. I let it sit there, ringing. It's now on it's 5th ring and I still haven't answered it. On a whim, I decide to hit accept. Probably my worst mistake in a while. Worse than falling at award shows. "Jennifer! Why are you ignoring me?" Nick says, pleading me. "I'll do anything you want if you just talk to me!" He says, begging now. That sets me off. "Nick, this is what I want you to do: leave me alone and NEVER call me again! Never speak to me, never even say hello to me. I do not want you to be in my life anymore. Maybe one day we can be friends again, when things have settled down between us, but today is not that day. And I don't think tomorrow or the next day will be either. I broke up with you. I request now that you'd kindly leave my life for the next few years. I don't want you in it. I told you at the premiere, and security told you too. Leave. Me. Alone." I say, my voice so angry that it's grown quiet. Quiet emotion is powerful, and I think he understands that. The side of his phone line has gone silent. "Goodbye, Nick. I told you that I was done before, and this is our final goodbye." I finish triumphantly. I will not let his begging change or even waver my solid emotion of anger and hurt. This cycle has gone around too many times; I hope he gives up on it soon, because I'm done.
"Jennifer, that's fine. I understand your stance on this.
I'd like to add that you weren't the only girl I was dating. I was also dating Claudia before she died."
