Home Sweet Home: ON HOLD

Chapter 26

I open my eyes; and by looking around I can see I’m on a movie set. Okay I'm dreaming. I start pinching myself trying to wake up.

People around me give me weird looks; but then someone slaps my shoulder giving me a fright, I look over my shoulder and see a younger looking Helen, who from what I can see is extremely angry. 

"You need to get fitted for the next scene, your tutor needs to see you about something and then goes filming for the next scene” she says quickly before I cut her off 

"Um I'm confused."

 "Anna there is no time to be ‘confused’ just get your pretty little ass in your changing room or else we’ll be late" she pushes me angrily towards my changing room

 Once I get into my changing room that's more like a trailer, I am attacked with crazy people with dangerously sharp pins. They keep pushing me into one outfit after another.

 All they say is "turn" or "move this way"

 Once I'm done someone pulls my arm out of its socket and to a quiet side of my trailer.

 "Hey how's you day been?" asks my tutor, Janet.

 "Um busy?" I reply

 "Okay well we’re going to start with math." she pulls out a math textbook

I groan.

But against everything I do as she says and start working out the math problems 

People think the life of a famous movie star is glamorous; well they're wrong, my life is anything but glamorous it mains contains me being pushed around from set to home, home to make-up, make-up to home schooling, home-schooling to set and again.  

15 minutes later a bell rings, signaling that filming is about to start 

I stood up, thanked Janet and ran away from the torture of math and I made my way to set remembering that we are now filming a scene in the woods  

I got into position while a bunch of people dusted my face with black powder for effect with Levi behind me doing a quick braid.

All the makeup artists and hair stylists run off the set as the director sits down 

"Okay action!" yells the director  

Someone emerges from trees. He has fair brown hair and bright eyes. Its James. 

He comes closer and closer to me. I start backing up towards a tree. 

"no" I whisper "no, no, no its a dream"

"yes sweetheart" he says licking his lips " Its real" 

"You bastard! Stay away from me!" I scream

 "You broke my heart, leaving me to run back to a family who don't even want me!" 

"That my dear, is not my problem" he says placing his right hand on the tree, inches away from my face, and starts leaning in for a kiss. "You're the one who wanted me in the first place"

"No." I shut my eyes tight and scream.

I feel my whole body shaking and hear someone calling my name.

I open my eyes and see Darcy shaking me with a worried expression on his face. 

He lets go but my shoulders continue to shake ever so slightly and I feel a drop of sweat run down my face.

"Anna are you okay?" Says Darcy softly looking into my eyes 

I nod slowly feeling a tear forming at the corner of my eye  

"Well come on lets go into the store" 

I nod again unbuckling my seat belt but before I get out I look at myself in the mirror. My hair is sticking out in every direction and my mascara is a bit messy but otherwise I look okay. I run my fingers through my hair making it a little more presentable and wipe off the mascara, only leaving a light trail on my cheek.

As we walk into the store Darcy takes off his jacket and places it on my shoulders 

 I mumble a quiet "thank you" and continue walking next to him 

He grabs a cart and shoves it towards me. I take it and start following Darcy down the aisles as he looks for things he wants

Once we get to the checkout line, I have a funny feeling in my stomach. Its not the I'm sick' funny feeling, its more like I'm being watched feeling'. I turn around. There nestled on the stack of canned soup, is a tiny Nikon 650d, clicking away.

It takes me a second to figure out what is happening. I whip back around and grab Darcy's arm. he looks at me a little surprised, I think because of how hard I'm gripping his arm or that he was in the middle of getting the checkout girls number. I try to give him eye signals saying 'we have to go, NOW' , but it doesn't work. I let out a exasperated sigh and stand on tiptoe and scream whisper into his ear 

"Darcy we need to go now!"

He gives me a weird look and I jerk my head towards the camera. After a moment he gets what I'm trying to signal and grabs the bags and we quickly walk towards the door, but not before he sends a flirtatious wink towards a blushing, giggling, girl.

Once we get out of the store we basically sprint to the car.

"Okay what the hell was that" says Darcy angrily once he starts driving

"I was just making my final move to seal the deal."

 "well excuse me Mr. player" I say sarcastically and roll my eyes

 "Okay so what was that a bout?" he says trying to still sound angry

I clutch my hands in my lap and stare straight forward

 "Anna, what was that!?" Darcy says glancing over towards me as he's driving

 My brain is trying to work. How could they find me? I haven't instagramed, posted, or tweeted anything since I got here. I knew this day would come but no this soon. Maybe someone said something. My mind runs through all the possible people. That blonde bimbo from the diner, one of my brothers friends, or even Chase? I should have sworn everyone to secrecy when I got here or something.

 "Anna?" Darcy says waving a free hand in my face.

 Who could it be? Than it hits me....
