Love Between Takes {Mathew Baynton Fan Fic}

Parting Of Ways

I rushed trough the corridors of the local hospital trying to find the ward I had been assigned. I find the number and slide the curtain across. There lay Emma in bed. Weak and pale as she could be and yet she smiled when she saw me. Her eyes lit up with a sparkle and she reached out to grab my hand. I walked over and grabbed it. I knelt down beside her bed and stared into her sorrow filled eyes.

"I'm so sorry that I didn't make to the bus stop" Emma said.

I giggled a little and smiled. But it was a sad smile. The one you put on to make yourself feel better.

"I'll never be late again. That's what I remember you saying. Mmm" I say with another giggle.

Emma smiled and squeezed my hand.

"I'm due in for an operation this afternoon. They're removing the cancer that was apparently blocking my intestine. I won't be able to make it to your audition. I'm sorry" Emma said in shame.

"Don't you worry sweetie. You just focus on getting better." I told her.

I stayed with Emma until she was in operation. I said goodbye to Eddie and hugged him tightly. We both got our emotions out and took a deep breath in. I pulled away from Eddie and he wiped the tears that rolled down his cheeks.

"You going to be ok?" I ask him.

"Yeh I should be. Ill call you after your auditions done." Eddie replied.

I nodded and patted his shoulder in empathy. I strolled slowly out the door but stopped at the door frame and turned to look back at the empty bed. I sighed and continued to walk out the door to my audition.

When I got to the audition building I sat quietly in the waiting room. There are a bunch of other women there for the role too, much prettier women. I read over my script again until I see Mat the door smiling at me.

"Isabella?" Mat calls out.

I get up and walk into the room. I feel the buzz from my phone and check the message. It was from Eddie. All it said was "She didn't make it."

I continued to walk in with a straight face, not breaking my chance of getting a role even tough if was screaming on the inside.

I start to read off my script and all is going well.

I couldn't do it anymore, I couldn't hold it in any longer!

I collapsed onto the floor crying that turned into screaming in sadness. Mat got up from his seat and ran over to me and cupped me in his arms to comfort me. The other writers sat there confused and shocked. Mat stood me up and walked me into the bathroom.

"Bella what's happened!?" Mat said grasping me by the shoulders and looking me in the tear soaked eyes.

"She's dead, Emma, she didn't make it" I cry out.

Mat pulled me in for another hug. I buried my head into his chest and tried to calm down.

After the tragic audition, Mat drove me home instead of Eddie. When we got my my hotel I sat in the car for a moment to gather my thoughts.

"Bella. It's going to be ok." Mat said

"I stuffed up everything." I mumbled

"No Bella! It's not your fault!" Mat said seriously.

"mat I fucked up everything! I'm a huge fuck up and my life is now wrecked! I had my whole life planed out! I was going to get into the acting business, find a man, see Emma get married..." I started to whale again just at the thought of Emma. I got out of the car and clenched my jacked in my hands. Mat couldn't do anything. As he watched me go the ought the hotel doors, he sat back in the car seat and ran his fingers though his hair.

When I got in the elevator I skipped my room level and proceeded to the top level.

When I got to the top level I opened the outside window in the hallway and sat on the edge, I dangled my feet off the side and thought for a good long moment. "I could finish everything here and no one could stop me."
