Rehabilitation

Matthew Nozska as Ethan

"Thet tried to make me go to rehab but I said no,  no,  no-- I've died a hundred times-Amy Winehouse

"And action". I hear the director say before I turn around and look at my coactreess. Shes stands there looking beautiful but I feel no attraction to her besides sexual.

" Lisa how long has this been going on" I say getting into charcter trying to put anger and betrayal in my voice as to play the husband of an unfaithful wife.

"Not that long ,  I've just been lonely and you're never around you barely pay attention to me you're always thinking about work,you've barely touched me ever since you got back from your business trip six months ago." The girl in front of me ,  who's real name is Fiona says.

"How long." I repeat.

"A year." She says  before the director says cut and we get out of character.

I turn around walking towards the door to go see if my brother is done filming his own scene. When I get to his dressing room I see he's in there packing up his things .

"So how was the scene did you enjoy it." I say while wiggling my eyebrows in a provocative way.

"Yeah I did enjoy listening to a girl screaming my name as I pound into her while everybody else can only see my naked ass". He says with sarcasam in his voice.

"You can't get mad ,  you chose to be a pornstar but anyway  let's  go get some food" I say with a chuckle.

We walk out the door and to the exit of the building. Walking down the street we decide to get Chinese food and turn to go into Lucky's Ese,  the very popular and hip restraunt that serves my favorite dish, General Jo's chicken. As soon as we walk in we're greeted by the shop's owner, Lucky.

'What can I get for you." He says with a polite tone and smile on his face.

"We would like--I don't see why you always ask us when you know we get the same damn thing every fucking time we come here." I go to say our order when I'm rudely interrupted by my asshole of a brother.

"Ah ,  I see so you would like the regular." Lucky says still with a smile on his face after being cursed out for doing nothing.

I nod slowly, not saying a word while I stare at him as he pivots on his feet and go to give the chef our order. After he's completely out of view I turn back around to look at my brother I give him a once over starting from the top of his head thats partially covered in jet black hair,  down to his sweater covered arms and even with the sleeves hiding his arms you can see all the swirls and curls of the design on his body. I moved down to dark-washed  jean covered legs and finally down to his  sandal covered feet.

"What happened?" I ask already knowing something happened because he snapped at someone,  it may look like he would from his apperance but he's actually a giant teddybear.

He looks me in the eyes before taking a deep breath and saying words that shocked the hell out of me.

"Ethan ,  I think I may have gotten someone pregnant." He says while not looking at me not wanting to see my face because if we made at least a second of eye contact I would blow up .

"What." I question with anger in my voice wanting him to repeat it in case I heard him wrong.

"I said I think I may have gotten a girl pregnant but I don't know for sure if its my baby,  I just found out yesterday." He said trying to break it down and explain it to me.

"Harley how could you be so dumb as to not wear a condom when you're having sex that should be the first thing you think about when you feel like having sex" I say slightly raising my voice.

"It happened a long time ago I didn't think anything would come of it plus they fired her" He says while pulling his hair making strands fall on the table.

"Wait what do you mean they fired her,  who is her." I say after catching on to the last part about someone being fired.

"Do you remember five month ago when we got a new actor to particpate in a scene with me named Bunny." Harley says while looking at me.

"You mean the little short one with red hair that had the biggest crush on you." I say furrowing my eyebrows wondering why he would bring her up.

"Yeah well  I found out after doing a scene  that she would poke holes in the condom and when we did scenes where we weren't suppose to use condoms she wasn't taking her birth control that she was required to take as a precaution."

"So you're saying sweet little innocent Bunny tried to get pregnant by you. "I say after he finish telling his story.

" Yeah and get this she just recently got out the looney bin thats something she did not put on her application form because if she did I probably would not have accepted her ,  I mean why did she have to go all batshit crazy on me why not Romeo,  he's the one who actually had a crush on her."He says taking a deep breath.

"Oh ok I've always wondered where she went but she actually succeded in getting pregnant." I say as an after thought.

"Yeah she did get pregnant but I still dont know if the baby is mine yesterday she just came to my dressing  room and threw some papers at me claiming I was the baby's father but im going to find out if I really am" he says while looking around the restraunt.

I look around too before turning back to him.

"Come on lets ask Lucky to make that a to-go order its all most time for us to be back at the studio." I say after checking my watch and seeing we have five minutes left to get back.

When Lucky arrive at the table with our food we ask for a to-go box before packing our food up and walking out the door. When we arrive back at the building we're rushed back to our dressing room to get ready for our scenes. I walk out the door and see Harley walking out of his  room too.

"Good luck , hope you actually enjoy it this time at least try to have fun I mean not a lot of people get to have sex everyday and get paid for it". I say before turning to walk down the hallway into the soundproof room we use to record our movies.

I walk in the room and get greeted by the crew. We begin to start on my fifth scene of the day when my assistant rush into the room holding a phone in her hand.

" What's wrong Neena".I say after seeing how distressed she is.

She looks me in the eyes while hers reflect sadness and open her mouth to say some of the most heartbreaking words I've heard in a very long time.

"Ethan, your mom is in the hospital the doctor says she has breast cancer and there's a possibility that it can't be treated and she can possibly die."
