The Other Side of Me

Chapter 38

         It was never easy to say that you're okay when you're totally hurting inside. When you already know that your whole world is crashing.

        It was never easy for me to understand why I need to hide my feelings for someone that I know will love me as much as I do.

        It was never easy for me to pretend that I'm okay with everything that's happening right now, it was never easy for me to see the love of my life smile with the other girl that they call his girlfriend. That should be me. But it wasn't, it was impossible for us to love each other where we can show affection to one another whenever we feel like doing it.

        If only I met him first, It wouldn't be this hard.

I, Victoria Newman is inlove with Elliot Clough

...and he knows it.

        ---

        Mr. Ben Winston, reviewed my work again, still deciding whether we'll film this or not... I was fiddling my sweaty hands, praying that he'll grant this... My dream... "Dear, it's not cliche..." he comments. "But that's a good thing right? I mean, It's not cliche, most of the people are so tired of this cliche love story! Mine is a twisted yet a good love story. C'mon Mr. Winston" I plea.

        I'm Eleanor Calder, and I work for the Great Books Foundation as their receptionist... My likes are totally different from each other, I read classic novels while my taste in music is so different with the books that I like. I listen to Little Mix and they really are my favorite girl band, but sadly they are not famous enough, but they are talented.

        "You do know that this movie is just a low-budget, and.. well I just got back from the rehab, do you really want me to film this movie for you?" he asks. I just smiled confidently. "Of course, You're a great director, we discussed you back in college. and I saw your films, they don't understood what you're trying to imply. But if you look through it, it's a good movie. I believe in you sir"

        "Okay, I'll talk to Morgan, he'll help us.." he sighed and I just jumped in excitement. "I'm sure he'll approve of this, It's Morgan... so on wednesday, we'll have an audition for the casts" he said to me. I smile like a Cheshire cat. It's been years since I finished this story.

       I wanted this to be published, I want everyone to see how beautiful the story is, but some publishers can't understand the beauty of it... I feel like I'm J.K. Rowling, and I believe that someday I'll be like her.

        Mr.Winston dismissed me, I immediately got up, it's already 4 o'clock? Shoot. I have to pick up Aidan, my little brother. "Thank you Mr. Winston! I owe it all to you!" I waved goodbye before the lift finally closed. I can't wash off the smile that I have, it's the best day so far.

        "Aidan!I'm over here!" I waved my hand so he can see me, he smiled when he saw me. He may be annoying at most times, but he still is my little brother who I love and cherished the most. "Ellie! How's the book publishin' ? Any good news?" he asks while munching on his pack of crisps that I bought for him earlier,

        "Well. I didn't published a book, but I had a meeting with Mr. Ben Winston, and we'll have the auditions for the cast on Wednesday!" I announced the good news to him. "Ben Winston? isn't he the director who just got back from the rehabilitation centre in Scotland? He's a drug addict El" he warned me.

        "Ade, you don't know Mr. Winston, anyways, he is so good at directing movies. and I believe that he'll make my story a good one. Please be happy for me, that's the only thing I want you to do..." I uttered. "Goodluck telling that to mum" he mumbled, Loud enough for me to hear.

        He's right, Mum will disagree with me, like what she always do when I talk about what I want to do with my life, It seems like I haven't done anything right in my life. Of course the only thing that she sees is my older sister... Charlotte, the perfect one... the marketing executive..

        As I pull over the garage, Aidan went down, slamming the car door. sighs "Don't slam the fucking car door Aidan!" I yelled at him. what a jerk.

        As I went inside after collecting my things, papers mostly. I see mum and Charlotte setting up the table, it's too early to have a dinner. "Oh there you are El, come help us" mum sweetly said to me. Charlotte's just looking at me as if I have a dirt on my face.

        "O-okay, it's still early, why do we have to set up the table?" I asked them but no one even bothered to answer a simple question.. Jeez, It's not rocket science... "Anyways mum, I have a good news for you later at dinner" I smiled leaving them at the dining table as I join Aidan at the living room who's watching How I Met Your Mother.

        "Hey Ade" I uttered. he looked at me with a faint smile. "You told mum?" he questioned. I sighed before answering him "I'll tell everyone at dinner, Char's being this leech again" I said and he laughed. We're not really close to Charlotter now, but before, us three were inseperable. Ever since Charlotte married this man who's too old for her, I think it's even older than my father!

        "Bet ya 25 quid Charlotte will tell some good news while you are telling yours" Ade said, I looked at him with my eyebrows furrowed. "She will... No doubt, I just can't wait to start filming this movie... In that way, I will get away from all this shits" I scowl. AIdan was looking at me whilst laughing.

        "Goodluck with that poppet" he said before our mum calls us for dinner. This is it, It's my time to shine.

        "So... I heard Eleanor has some good news" my father, who believed in me, just like Aidan, asks. I cleared my throat before speaking. "Well, I just had a meeting with a director and we'll have auditions for the cast of my story on wednesday" I announced my father, being a supportive one grins like a five year old and Aidan as well. Mum was not pleased with my announcement.

        "and who's the director of your movie?" she asks, there's a glum look on her face. "Mr. Ben Winston, he's a great director... erm, and Mr. Spurlock" I mumbled. She suddenly stopped listening to me because dear Charlotte announced something, her own good news, she's going to Belfast for a week, and with that announcement, my mum jumps in excitement.

        "25 quid" Ade whispered.
