Lights. Camera. Action.

Chapter Eight

It's been about a week since we've been in Brooklyn, and so far i've enjoyed none of it.

We wake up at six to start work, and we dont come home until about 11:30! PM! ...I'm so tired, i think i could sleep an entire year. Even still, I havent seen Danielle. Both of these "minor speed bumps" (as Cheyanne calls it) have been driving me crazy. I really think i'll be bald when i wake up.

Me and Cheyanne share a room at the Hilton Garden Hotel. We just reached it when i saw Dean walking towards us.

"Cheyanne." he said.

"Sup, Dean?" she replied, fist-bumping him as if i didnt really hate him. Grr, why is he friends with my friends? Just to get on my nerves? ...I cant show him he's right....

I acted as if nothing happened, and started walking towards the door. It was Dean's words that scared me shitless and made me freeze.

"We have a meeting tomorrow morning at 4:30AM, then another photoshoot, and then we begin shooting."

I slowly turned around to see Cheyanne had reacted the same why i did. She slowly glanced at me, then stared back at Dean. "A-All of us?" she asked, her voice shaking wildly as if she might faint. Her blue eyes were as wide as they could be, and her mouth had dropped.

"Yes."

"Is it mandadory?"

"Yes."

I looked at my watch. It was already twelve a.m., what are they doing to us? "Chey, we cant go. It's already midnight, waking up at three in the morning would not be healthy." i said. "We could...Well, we're not taking care of our brains. They need to sleep in order to be accurate."

Cheyanne looked at me, then looked at Dean. "Cant we tell her that we cant make it?"

"Anyone who cannot make it, is fired." he said. I could see his bloodshot eyes all the way over here, and i'm sure i'm no better. "Fired as in done with. For good. Never to be on TV again. They'll ruin us."

After a while of silence, Cheyanne dismissed herself. "I think we'd better go. C-come on, Hav...We need the rest..." she grabbed my arm and we took shifts dragging eachother.

"You know, all these bloodshot eyes wont be good for the camera."

Cheyanne nodded. "Hopefully they'll figure that out..."

When our alarm went off at three a.m., neither of us got up.

"We should start....start getting.." i started, but kept driftng in and out of sleep.

"Getting re...ready, yah... she, uh... we should..."

But neither of us did.

Soon, we fell back asleep in the dark.

Roxanne and Cheyanne's manager Elizabeth came rushing into our rooms.

"Cheyanne!" Elizabeth called.

Roxanne went straight to yelling at me. "Haven Maria Jade! What has gotton into you this past week? You missed the meeting and now your fired..."

I looked at the clock. It was seven a.m.

"Wait.." i said, rubbing my eyes, "Fired?"

Shit.

"Yes fired!" Roxanne threw her arms up in the air. "Your lucky me and Elizabeth are good nigotiaters, or you wouldnt have a chance at getting your job back!" Roxanne's shor black hair was pulled into  high bun at the back of her head with her usual braid that was by her left ear was bobby-penned to the bun as well.

"Thank you, Roxanne..." i said, and fell back onto the bed. I looked over at the clock. Maybe i'm going crazy, but that clock really said SEVEN. "Can i sleep....please?"

Roxanne let out an annoyed sigh, then stormed out of the room. "You had better be up before nine, Haven, if you arent, i swear..." she walked out of the room still talking. Elizabeth almost screamed before following her friend outside.

Me and Cheyanne turned to look at eachother.

When i saw the amusment in her eyes, i burst into laughter, her joyful giggles following shortly behind.

"Oh, managers," i sighed.

"Oh, i know, right?"

We laughed again.

Then Danielle snuck her way into my head. I had almost gone an entire day without thinking of her, but somehow, someway, she's come back, throwing burning memories at my heart and forcing me to forfit to this aweful war between us.

What is her problem?

Oh my gosh...Look at myself. I'm actually thinking that she was really throwing flames at me. What is MY problem?

....i need therepy.

No, no i dont. I'm not phsyco.

I need my best friend back.
