Happiness ☀︎ Wyatt Oleff

twenty-one ⇒ unexpected

Holly

I tiredly walk into the set. My hair is tied into a messy bun and I'm wearing a sweater that's ridiculously too large for me and some jeans that I found buried in my closet. It looked like I just put on whatever clothes I have in my closet.

My eyes are bloodshot. I look like I barely even slept but I couldn't care less about what I looked like right now. Hell, I don't even care about what other people are going to say about me. I sat down beside the other cast members, trying to stay away from Sebastian as far as possible. They are currently hanging out at some place near the shooting grounds. Some are on their phone, some are reviewing their script and some are just plainly chatting with each other.

"Good morning, Holly." Emily greeted as she walked towards me.

I look at her and put on a fake smile on my face. I awkwardly cleared my throat and said, "Uh, morning, Em." I said quietly, it's barely even audible.

"Here's your cup of coffee." She said as she handed me a cup of coffee.

I faintly smiled at her and gratefully took the cup of coffee from her hands. "Thanks, Em."

She sat down beside me and turned to me with a concerned look on her face. "So, uh, how are you holding up?"

I look at her pretending to be confused. The truth is, I don't want anyone to know about what happened between me and Sebastian. It's only going to cause a lot more trouble. If somehow, the secret spills, there are going to be rumors roaming around.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, pretending to not know what she's saying.

"Look, I don't know what happened but it's pretty obvious that you can't handle yourself properly right now." She said.

I thought about everything that has happened for the past few days. I thought about how I hurt Wyatt, how I kissed Sebastian and all of the things I regret doing. I feel tears forming in my eyes as I looked away and blinked away the tears. I couldn't cry right now, not in front of the cast members.

"I'm sorry. I-I really don't wanna talk about it right now." I stuttered. She nodded at me in response and smiled at me reassuringly.

"Okay. Just remember that I'm always here for you, okay?" She said. I nodded my head as she pulled me into a tight hug. After a couple of seconds, we pulled away as she smiled at me reassuringly.

I watched her walk away as I sat back on my seat, drinking my coffee. I hear foot steps coming my way as I look up and notice James walking towards me with someone I don't know.

"Good morning, Holly." He smiled at me. "As you may know, you're up later for the 1st scene." He said while I nod my head in response. "So, I wanna introduce you to Celeste. She will be your make-up artist for the whole shooting." He said.

I look at the woman standing beside James. She has platinum hair and her make-up looks amazing. "Hi, I'm Holly Sanders. Nice to meet you." I said, putting my hand out for her to shake.

"It's nice to meet you too, Holly. You already know my name but I'm Celeste Lockwood. You can call me Cess for short." She said, winking at me. She shook my hand as I faked laughed.

3 hours later

We just finished shooting the first scene and I am currently taking a break right now because I'm not in the next scenes. I'm all alone in my trailer because I didn't want to talk to anyone especially Sebastian. I thought we were friends but he obviously didn't think of me that way and tried to ruin my relationship with Wyatt. I regret kissing him back and I regret going with him to the cafe.

The guilt was eating me alive. I couldn't take it anymore. I feel the sudden urge to tell someone. Someone who's always been there for me. Someone who can understand me. I thought for a while until a person popped into my head.

"Sophia..." I whispered to myself.

I grabbed my phone from the table and went to the contacts app. I scrolled down until I found Sophia's name. I hesitated on clicking the FaceTime button because I'm too scared to tell her. I have a lot of doubts and questions in my mind. What if she will think badly of me? What if she won't trust me anymore? The worse thing that I could possibly think of is the thought of our friendship being ruined forever. I shivered at the thought of it but I decided to call her anyway. Everyone would find out eventually anyways.

I shakily pressed the FaceTime button as I waited anxiously. I feel my heart pounding in my chest, beating faster than ever. I wait for a few more seconds then I saw Sophia's face pop up on the screen. Her eyes widened in shock at the sudden unexpected call.

I don't know why but when I saw Sophia, I suddenly burst out crying. I felt tears streaming down my face as I cover my mouth with my hands.

"Holly!" She said, clearly shocked.

"Oh my God, I miss you so much." I said. "I thought you guys were mad at me." I said still with teary eyes.

"No, no, we love you. We're not mad at you." She said.

"I love you guys too..." I said, sadly.

Her face softened at my sad expression. "Why are you crying?" She asked softly with a concerned look on her face.

"I don't know how to tell this to you." I said as I played with my fingers nervously.

"What is it?" She asked, softly.

I hesitated for a moment. I'm not quite sure if I should tell her because this is such a big deal to me and Wyatt.

"Sophia, I-I did something." I stuttered. "I did something very wrong and it's the worst thing I've ever done in my life." I said, biting my bottom lip as I tried not to cry.

"What?" She said with a confused look on her face. "What is it?" She asked, curiously.

"Just," I paused. "Just please don't tell this to the others yet especially Wyatt. I promise you that I will tell them soon just not now." I said as she nodded her head in response.

I took a deep breath and prepared for what I was about to say. At this point, I can practically hear my heart beat. I'm so nervous that my hands are shaking. Sophia looked at me with a curious expression on her face, eager for me to tell her what I did wrong.

"Me and Sebastian k-kissed." I blurted out.

Sophia's eyes widened in shock. It's obvious that she didn't expect me to say what I just said. I bit my bottom lip, trying hard not to cry.

Suddenly, the door burst open to reveal an angry Wyatt. My eyes widened, nearly popping out of my face.

"Wyatt!" Sophia exclaimed, her eyes wide. "H-how much did you hear?" She stuttered, nervously.

"Enough for me to break up with her." Wyatt said harshly as he walked out of the room angrily.
