I Saw Her

20th March, 2020 - Part 2

Finally at intermission a security guard came up to me and apologized for the miscommunication and let me in. I asked them who it was and they said two ladies were here and they cleared the miscommunication. On going in a little further, I could see Liz and Alex waiting there for me. I waved at Alex and he waved back. "Where were you? I had to talk to the security guard to ask if you left after feeling hurt looking at how beautiful Sofia is looking today." I gave Alex a fist bump, "No, I got kicked out of the theatre. No one here knows me." Suddenly I saw two girls walk up to me. "Hey, can we take a picture with you?" I had a surprised look, "I'm sorry, the film's hero is there and you must be confusing me with someone else." They nodded their head, "Nah ah, we're learning to professionally write too, and after seeing the film till the intermission, I'm a fan of your work. I'm not interested in the actor or actress. The work you have done is Phenomenal and you deserve credit even though no one gives you any." The other girl spoke, "Yeah, that's why we want a photo with you so that we'll remember this day and hope to become great writers like you." They handed Liz a Polaroid camera and told her to take a photo of us. She took a photo of us and I signed the instant photograph for them. "Say what, you two work really hard, and well I'll always be here, so you can come to my house and learn from me if you want at any time or if you want something reviewed, just let me know. Thanks." They giggled at each other and left. "See, people do know you. By the way, Sofia wanted to talk to you, there's something she needs to tell you." "I got nothing to know about. Tell her I'll come to the wedding. I just don't want to talk to her cause I'll fall in love with her once again. And you know what happened the last time I got depressed, the thing between us can't keep happening again and again."

I left and sat in the corner of the theatre. Liz and Alex came and sat beside me. The movie started. I missed half of the movie and well I couldn't enjoy it, so I'll skip to the end of the movie. Everyone liked it. They stood up at the end of the movie to clap. Swill got up from his spot holding a microphone, "Thank you, thank you guys, well I couldn't have done it with my crew and my main man Alexander Karlsen who couldn't be here tonight. That guy has stayed in the shadow for too long but he's the real reason this film was made. All he had was an idea and it just made me cry. Enough to accept the film before hearing the whole plot. Even after all the hatred he got backstage and from the outside world, he still stayed strong and helped me build this beautiful movie and I hope to make more films like this. Thanks everyone." I whispered to Liz, "I'm suddenly getting this urge to start drinking in the bathroom once again." She whispered back, "I'm not joining you in the bathroom this time with my son here, I'll think about it at home maybe." I showed her a disgusted face, "No geez, just no, I'm not talking about that at all geez. You're disgusting." She shrugged and started talking to Alex.

I looked down near the bottom seats to see Sofia standing alone rubbing her belly a little. No one was talking to her at all. Hobart was nowhere to be seen. I was about to go to her when I saw Hobart go near her. He had a glass of wine with him. He kept offering her wine and she kept politely declining. I got this urge to say something but I kept my mouth shut. I didn't want to start a fight especially after all the respect Swill built for me and the fact that Sofia was nearby and I didn't want to endanger her baby. Swill kept a party that night, because why not. He just loves food and wanted an excuse for eating.

Well I went to the party with Liz and Alex where Swill was at the entrance greeting everyone. "Hey man! Where were you this afternoon for the premier? I missed you so bad. I gave a great speech about you!" I cringed, "I was right there in the theatre. I got kicked out by the security guards, for reasons known, by hatred from Hobart. The guy clearly hates me." He pat my shoulder, "Don't be silly, that's totally not true." I cringed again and let out a little smile. Well just like the gentleman I am, I'm gonna skip the whole restaurant part as only me, Liz and Alex sat together there. Sitting with them made me feel like family. She felt like my wife who could've been Sofia in the near future had everything fine nicely. And Alex felt like the son I might never ever have. Where did it all go wrong? Well the dinner party went on till late night so it struck 12. So I can't technically write that as an entry for this day. So well I'll continue the next part sober.
