birthday surprise

chapter 16

(Lizzy's pov)
I quickly grab a cereal bar from the kitchen to eat on the way to Logan's set.
"So you and Jack again? Are you sure? I don't want to see my boy and my little sister hurt again." He says.
"I don't know. If tonight goes well I'll probably stay. But we'll see." We finally get there and Logan tells me to go sit in one of the chairs by the stage.
"I'm sorry, we don't allow fans in here." The director tells me.
"Oh, no I'm Lizzy, Logan's sister? I thought he told you I'm coming.."
"Oh! I'm so sorry Lizzy. I'm John, it's great to meet you. We could actually use another extra, so if you'd like to be one you've got the job." He says. He leads me by all the other extras. "Introduce yourself. Get to know one another, were starting in 10 minutes!" John shouts. Everyone else was already talking to someone, so I stood there awkwardly trying to figure out what to do. Then this boy comes up to me. He has short, blonde straight hair, brown eyes, muscular, and very tall.
"Excuse me, are you new here? I don't think I've seen you around before, and I doubt I'd forget that pretty face of yours." He says.
"Is it that obvious?" I say laughing.
"I'm Matt." He says holding out his hand.
"I'm Lizzy." I say shaking it.
"Hey Lizzy, what are you doing on stage?" Logan comes up to me.
"John said he needed another extra so here I am!" Logan notices Matt.
"Oh. You should maybe figure out what you should do then. This is going to be the only scene were doing today and I'm hoping to go home soon." He says glaring at Matt. He hands me the script and walks away. So apparently we have to choose someone to talk to in the backround and use small hand motions to make it look more real.
"Alright everyone, partner up! In 5... 4... 3... 2..." He points to us. Matt and I become partners and sit down on a bench. We talk very quietly so we don't disturb the scene, but loud enough for us to hear each other.
"So do you have a boyfriend?" Matt asks. I knew he was going to ask me that. I even tried preparing an answer, but I still didn't know what to say.
"Kinda, I guess." I decide.
"What do you mean kinda? Is it serious?"
"It's been on and off lately. We both have been going through some stuff."
"Oh. Well he's a lucky guy then. Maybe were just meant to be friends." He smiles at me.

"Hey, Lizzy! We need to go." Logan shouts from across the stage after the scene is done." Matt and I exchange numbers and I start walking to Logan. When we get into his car he says, "Why were you talking to Matt? Don't you know who he is?" He says disgusted.
"He seems nice. Why do you ask?" I say.
"Youre dating Jack now. Youre not cheating on him again. Especially with Matt." I notice were going a different way than we usually would.
"Where are we going?" I ask him. He ignores my question.
"You need to stop talking to Matt, Lizzy. He's not a good person."
"Well maybe I like Matt." I was not about to let Logan boss me around like that. He always treats me like a child. He can't control who I hang out with.
"Well you shouldn't. You're with Jack. I just said you weren't going to cheat on him again. But if you are, you need to break up with him now. You don't deserve him if youre going to continue talking to Matt." He says.
"I told him I have a boyfriend. He said it's cool if we're just friends." I try to defend myself.
"Not really. I heard you say that it's an on and off thing. If you're going to be like that Jack would just be better off without you." Just then we pass a car full of girls and I see Matt in the driver's seat drinking.
