~Cut~

Woods' POV

My heart sunk. I know I said I'd wait for Tanner, no matter what, and I will. However, I just overheard Tanner asking Paul on a date. I was on my way to orange base to see what everyone was doing for lunch. I saw them sitting together, holding hands. Not wanting to disturb them I just kept walking. But I heard it. I wish I hadn't.

The rest of the world continued like normal though. There were Rekt shoots and GG shoots today. As much as I loved seeing Tanner, I couldn't stand it today. I had a weird feeling in the pit of my stomach. While I didn't like it, it still felt familiar somehow. It lingered throughout the Rekt shoot.

While cleaning up some glass that had shattered in between takes, I messed up. The glass was in decent sized chunks, so I was just picking it up with my hand and throwing it in the bin. As I picked up the last piece, it sliced through my hand.

A warm sensation went through my body. It satisfied that weird feeling in my stomach for some reason. Suddenly I wasn't worried about Tanner anymore. I wasn't worried about anything, not even my hand. I just stood there staring at the blood dripping down. Then people noticed.

"Woods! Are you okay?" Tanner rushed over and grabbed my wrist to inspect the cut on my palm. There was a slight smile on my lips.

"Yeah man, I'm fine. No biggie." I reply casually, while trying to retract my hand.

"Clearly you're in shock and are not okay," as Tanner talked Gunner came back into the room. I didn't even know he left. He had gauze, tape, and rubbing alcohol in his hand. I gave up and just let them bandage me up.

"Well now that that's over, ready to get back to the filming?" Everybody on set looks at me like I'm insane. That answers that.

"No no no, I'm taking you to Matt," Tanner grabbed my good hand and pulled me off set. We walked over to blue base in silence. I was still really zoned out, and kind of felt numb. It wasn't necessarily a bad numb though.

Blue base was busy with people getting ready for a BU shoot tomorrow. We didn't talk to anyone, Tanner just pulled me along up the stairs. Matt was sitting in his office with the door open. He looked up at us with a question in his eyes.

"Hey guys, aren't you supposed to be-" then he noticed my bandaged hand, "Woods, what happened to your hand?" Matt rushed over to inspect it, not like there was much to see anymore. He's such a good boss. I'm glad I work here.

"Woods cut his hand on the Rekt set and insists that he's fine but there's a gash across his entire palm." Tanner stated bluntly. Matt looked over to me and I just shrugged. I felt fine still.

"Oookay. Woods you're gonna go home. I'll take you. Tanner get back to Rekt, I've got him from here." I opened my mouth to protest but Matt held up a finger telling me to not argue. Guess I'm going home.

A/N - this is going places. Dunno if you guys are going to like where it's going butttt oh well? Just got tired of it being a shallow story with no real....substance.
