The Actor Madness: Rise [COMPLETED]

Chapter IX (This Is Not The End Of Us)

California, May 6th 2017

It's 5 p.m and I'm really irritated.

Nervous, anxious, having all the type of negative moods.

I have to tell the person I love that I have to be apart from him. How can you tell that to someone?!

It's the worst thing to say in the world.

Roderick means a lot to me. He is my person.

And I know that saying that may confuse since I am my own person and one can't own another person.

But he is. He is the one I think everyday, the one I want to tell every great thing that happens to me.

And how I love to listen to him.

To hear him talking with such a passion about sports and travelling is really amusing.

But as everything in life, our relationship is coming to an end.

Someone knocks on the door.

Jordan – I'm coming.

Jordan – Who's there?!

Roderick (from the outside) – It's me Roderick.

It's time to bawl my eyes.

Jordan (in a sad whispery voice) – Come in.

Roderick – So what do you have to tell me?

Jordan – Please, take a seat.

We both seat and I try to not break down.

Jordan - Would you like to drink something?

Roderick – No, thank you. I'll stop beating around the bush.

Jordan (clears throat) – Well, my sister is buying tickets for both of us to go to New Yrork.

Roderick – Oh I thought you gave up about New York.

Jordan – I did but...

Roderick – But it's good for you, you're back at your favorite city.

Jordan – No it isn't.

Jordan – Jackie wants to get a degree in Dramatic Arts and she also wants me to do it with her.

Roderick – Oh okay.

Roderick – But didn't you give up about acting?

Jordan - I guess I did. But I've been thinking.

Jordan – All my life I was lead into acting. Even if I didn't succeed as I wanted, I did get a pretty good success.

Jordan – Acting is my life, I breathe theatre.

Roderick doesn't even say a word and looks into my eyes really disappointed.

Roderick – So what about us?

Roderick – You're thinking only about yourself.

Roderick – You're hurting me, even though I support you in everything.

Jordan – I'm not asking you to be supportive of this because I know if I was in your shoes right now I would be flipping out.

Roderick – I just love you so much and I don't want you to get mad again.

Roderick – I saved you and I don't want to do that again because I don't you to be weak.

Jordan (starting to cry) – I know and that's what it hurts me the most.
