Lost

Table Read

(A couple of weeks later.)

Patrick's Pov

I wake up at seven o'clock in the morning, and drop the kids off at school. Next I drive to Prospect Studios and walk inside Ellen and I's trailer. I see her putting her make up on, but I always tell her that she looks beautiful no matter what. "Good morning Ellen, you look beautiful." I say. "Thanks Paddy, you're not to bad yourself, you are perfect. Hey, Maine was so beautiful and meeting your mom was amazing, she's so nice. Thank you for taking me." She says. "Ellen, Maine isn't nearly as beautiful as you are. I love you." I say. She blushes a deep shade of red. "Thanks Paddy, I love you too." She says. "So anyway, my kids want to see your daughters soon, so what do you say we get together on Friday night and you can come over with your daughters. We can talk while the kids play." I say. Ellen thinks for a moment. "Yeah, that sounds great. The kids would love it. But what about Jill?" She asks. "Trust me, Jill already has another guy, and she most likely won't be jealous. I mean, you and Jill are good friends right?" I ask. "Not anymore. I hate her for hurting you. Now, when I look at her, all I feel is disgust and rage. When you were in the hospital because of your heart attack, I kind of made a giant scene in front of everyone. Jillian dropped off the kids and left. To be honest, I think she was a bit scared. You're my best friend Paddy, I don't want to see you get hurt, I love you too much for that." She says.

2 hours later. . .

I've had many scenes with Ellen, so many that I can't count. But I've been having fun with it all, acting is a cool job, but sometimes you have to act with the people that you don't like. But in the end, they become your friends and that's what makes it fun. Much like Ellen and I, but Ellen was my friend from the start, we just clicked. She gave me something that Jillian could never give me, true friendship. Ellen and I are practically soul mates now, we have a bond stronger than anything else. We are truly a bond which is inseparable. I am still wondering how I got such a perfect woman.
"Patrick?" Ellen calls me. "Yeah?" I ask. "Finally, I called your name five times. Anyway, it's time for table read. What were you thinking about? " She asks me. "You." I say. She blushes, "what about me?"
"I am still wondering how I got such an amazing girlfriend." I say. "Thank you, but if we're late, Shonda's literally going to kill us." She says. "My god Ellen, you're turning into Shonda!" I laugh. I get up and start to make my way out.

I sit down beside Ellen, and stare at the script trying to understand what it says. It's actually my fault because I didn't memorize my lines yesterday, but I was lucky that we did good in the scenes, but my luck is wearing off, I don't understand what it says.

Ellen's Pov

I looked at Patrick, and he looks lost in thought. "Hey, do you need help?" I whisper, not wanting to embarrass him in front of the whole cast. He nods. "It's my fault, I didn't practice my lines last night." Patrick says. "Don't beat yourself up, I'll help you, it's the least I can do." I say. "Thanks El." He says smiling at me.

I go over the lines with Patrick helping him out until table read starts.

He reads his lines perfectly and I was so proud of him.

Soon table read ends and work is over.  I catch up with Patrick. "Hey, you read those lines perfectly, and I just wanted to say that I'm proud of you." I say. He looks at me and smiles. "Thank you El, that means a lot to me. I couldn't have done it without you." He says. "I have to go, but I'll text you about Friday." Patrick says. I nod and watch him get into his stunning black Porsche, and drive off. Once he is gone, I get into my own car and drive home.

Back home. . .

I let myself in and go to bed, I can't get Patrick's beautiful face out of my head. I think about Friday, the kids are going to love it, and I think that Sullivan has a crush on Stella, it's adorable. I don't know about Darby though. Stella likes to follow  Tallulah around too. We're definitely going to have a great time. My eyelids started to feel heavy and I fell into a deep slumber.
