Dani has a love for the arts.
She's got the look,the drive and the talent.
When she lands a big movie role with a very attractive love interest, her boyfriend (Banks) becomes very paranoid and overbearing.
For the past 2 weeks I had been getting home late. Filming had been kicking my ass! It was completely worth it though, I loved my cast and crew members...some a little more than others.
Anyway today is the last week and then it'll be a wrap on "OFF THE WALL" it has been a hell of a ride and I've learned so much from this experience.
I got up early and took Hen for a walk. "I've missed you." I said to him. I had hardly been home to see him, but whatever time I got in I'd try and take him for a walk. "But don't worry, it's my last week and then I'm all yours" I thought for a moment. "Then it's back to the basics..." I sighed. Back to the basics meant struggling for more roles. But maybe if everyone sees how hard I've worked and what an amazing job I did as the lead, I'll get offers at my doorstep! I hope so.. I really hope so.
I unlocked the door and tossed my keys on the counter. We were gone for at least 2 hours. I took Hen to the park and spent some quality time before heading to set at 3. "We're back" I hollered, hopefully loud enough for Banks to hear. There was no reply. "Banks!" I hollered again. "I'm about to get ready." Still no reply. I let Hen out of my arms and onto the floor. "I knew he ain't that deep in a sleep." I walked upstairs to find an empty bed.
I called him and his phone when straight to voicemail. "Fuck it." I said tossing my phone on the bed and beginning to undress for my shower.
ON SET
"Hey you." I heard Hendrix say, while I was walking to the trailer. I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear and blushed. "Hey Hendrix." He licked his lips and smiled. "Why didn't you call me, to let me know you were here?" He asked, walking ahead to open the trailer door for me. " I don't know I wasn't really thinking." He laughed. "It's cool, I got you something." I raised an eyebrow. He opens the refrigerator and pulled out a cotton candy flavored JugBug soda. "Ahh you found it!" I exclaimed, I smiled and grabbed the bottle from him. "How? How did you find it?", "I took me 2 hours and about 12 different gas stations. They don't even sell them anywhere around here for miles." He sat on the edge of the couch. "You went through all that trouble for me?". "Ahh c'mon, for you there is no trouble." He answered with a smile. I replied with a smile, looking down at the bottle. "Thank you, seriously." He nodded.
There was a minute of awkward silence. I wanted to jump on him and smother him with kisses and all the love I have built up for him. But it was the last week and who knows how much I'll see him after this. Plus I have...Banks. Right? No bitch not right, fuck him!
There was a knock on the door that interrupted the silence. Hendrix reached over and opened the door. Donna walked in. "Let's get in hair and makeup you two." I sat the drink back in the refrigerator and headed out behind Hendrix. "Where's Nancy?" I shrugged. "She said she's running a bit late." Hendrix answered. Oh so you be texting the bitch huh? Not that she's a bitch... she's very.. sweet.. ? "She told you that?" I asked. Donna was walking in between us. "She texted me earlier and said she'd be late." I rolled my eyes. "Oh... cute." "Cute? What's cute about that!? We're suppose to be shooting her scenes today! I don't have time for unprofessionals!" Donna pushed us over to hair and makeup. "Keep tabs on her!" She screamed while walking away.
I sat in my chair next to Hendrix as the ladies began to tweak our appearances so that we'd become Lucas and Aubrey. "So you and Nancy.." I started. "What about us?" He replied dryly. "You guys... text and stuff? Not that it's any of my business." He smirked a bit. "If we did would that fuel that fire, I know you have inside of you?" He looked straight ahead when I turned towards him. "No she must've gotten my number from the group chat." "Why didn't she text me?" He shrugged. " I don't know Dani." "Why couldn't she just text Donna personally." I spat. "D it's not the big of a deal, you have nothing to worry about." I wish he was right.
Nancy ran over and sat in her chair. "Sorry I'm late! Sorry!" I glanced over at her and rolled my eyes. "Is the new guy in yet?" She asked. Who does she think she is ? Coming all late and asking questions. " No, not yet." I answered her. She looked like shit, like she had just risen out of bed. "Do you not own a fan?" I asked she was drenched in sweat. "Huh?" She answered. "Oh yeah... I just had to catch a Lyft here and the drivers AC was broke.." "But don't they have windo-" "His windows were broken too!" She quickly answered. "He wouldn't be getting 5 stars from me." Hendrix joked. Nancy smiled and began cleaning herself up.
THE NEW GUY Filming had just wrapped up for the day, we finished really early today and I was at the refreshments table, Hendrix went straight the the trailer to change. Apparently he had some place to be.
"Danielle Hall?" I heard a deep voice say behind me, I turned around. "Yes?" I studied the guys face he was cute. " I'm Alex," he put his hand out for me to shake. "Cole and I will be your Charles." He smiled as I shook his hand. "Nice to meet you, I look forward to working with you." He looked me up and down and kissed my hand. "You too." I smiled politely and turned back to making my cheese plate. "So Listen I know I'll only be here for a few days but I'm very interested in getting to know you and the rest of the cast.

I grabbed my plate and turned to him. "One down, 6 to go." I half smiled and headed to the trailer. " Ok..." I heard him say behind me.
AT THE CRIB I was asleep on the couch when I heard the door close. I began to wake up and rubbed my eyes until they became clear enough to see. I stretched and turned over to see Banks making his way upstairs. "Where you been? I asked stopping him in his tracks. "What?" He said with a clear attitude in his voice. I ignored it. "I said when you been?" I patted the space on the couch. He walked over and sat on the arm of the couch. It was silent for a few seconds before I broke it. "So whats up?" He scoffed and pulled out his phone and began to scroll. "Hello? I said what's up with you?" I was started to get annoyed already. He ignored me. I snatched his phone. "Banks what the fuck?" He looked at me, clenching his jaw. "Danielle give me my phone." "No." I replied "Fuck you thought this was?" He stood up and walked towards me. "Banks I'm not scared of you." "Danielle give me the damn phone, before you get yo feelings hurt." I rolled my eyes. "Boy I don't give a fuck, I just wanted to talk to you since I've barley seen you." "We can talk after you hand me the phone." "Fuck this phone talk to me." He grabbed my wrist, Hen began to bark. I wiggled out of his reach. "What's so damn important about this phone!?" I looked down at his phone and what I saw was so damn shocking.
"Wow." I said in shock, he still had his hand out. "Danielle give me the phone." I backed up. "So that's what we doing now?" He didn't say anything. "You been meeting up with Tinder bitches?" I felt my heart sink. "You weren't around so-" , "So that means talk to other bitches? And link up with other girls?" I threw his phone on the floor, hearing it shatter. "Have fun sleeping alone tonight." He ran over to check on his phone while I grabbed Hen, my purse and keys, and headed for the door.
I know exactly what you're thinking. "But you and Hendrix"- but nothing, y'all don't even know what y'all are talking about. As far as you know... and I know... Hendrix and I are just ...
— SORRY FOR ALL THE TYPOS I WROTE THIS REALLY FAST.
