In Love With A Celebrity

Ch. 3

"Honey! There you are! Are you OK?" My Mother rushes towards me and starts frantically waving her hands around me.

I laugh at her concern. Of course, if she saw me before Elijah, she should be worrying, but it's absolutely fine now.

"Oh, Mother, you fret too much. I was just talking to some people." I smile at her pleasantly, before turning my head to the Director, "Ah, Mr Mark Phillips, it's an honour." I say, putting my hand forward.

Mark chuckles and accepts my hand shake to my relief, 

"Why thank you, Miss Heart. You are quite the charmer, aren't you?"

I give a smug smile,

"I try." I reply shrugging.

"Enough of the pity small talk, lets get on with it. Now..." He searches the paper he has in his hands, "You are wishing for the part of Edith Charles, correct?"

I smile and nod.

"That's quite a role, but I believe you'll fit it exceptionally. You both share a lot of similarities." Mark comments.

I slightly cringe at his words. I can relate to a depressed teenager with boy issues... I never thought I'd hear that.

"Oh, why thank you." I say, in a baffled tone.

Mr Phillips laughs,

"I mean that in the nicest possible way, Miss Heart. Now, lets get on with it, shall we?" He asks, quite eagerly.

I chose to do a direct line from the book, since I know it word-for-word,

I take a calming breath, and nod, motioning I was ready.

My face turns from it's calming expression to one of anger,

"You, Mr Miles, are the cruellest human being on Earth!" I point at where I assumed the co-star Toby Garrison would be standing, "I put my everything into us! Into our relationship! I thought we had something..." My expression falls and tears appear at the corner of my eyes, just as I do, I hear my Mother and Mark take an intake of breath. I suddenly feel nervous.

"But then I saw you snogging with Rose bloody Childs!" I growl as the tears slowly roll over my eyes.

"Was it all... for nothing? Did you never love me? Is this what you wanted!!!"

My anger  bubbled over, even though I was acting, in so many ways it felt real!

"You said you loved me! You said nothing would come between us!" I shriek, causing my Mum to place a hand to her heart.

"How... Dare... You..." I kneel to the floor, 

"How DARE you trick me into loving you! You foul, gorgeous, amazing, MONSTER!!"

I take unsteady breaths, as I glare at the floor.

I take a big gulp of air, wipe my eyes and spring up to my feet- a smile spreading on my face.

"Oh, sweetie!" My Mother cries.

I turn my head to her and see that she's in tears,

"Remind me to never let you date anyone!"

I chuckle and hear people outside the door laugh as well.

I freeze in shock. I take a glance around the room in search for something...

There was a camera in the top corner of the room, facing towards me,

"Were they watching me!!" I gasp, pointing at the camera and the door.
