Backstage

Chapter 15

Esme POV

I heard a crash from Millie's room. According to my laptop it was 3am. I hadn't gone to sleep yet. I blame twitter, youtube and tumblr. I now have the most abnormal sleeping pattern.

God what the hell is Millie doing I thought as i heard another crash. It sounded like she had just destoryed the wardrobe! I decide to check on her to make sure she hasn't killed herself.

"oh its fine I woundered what the hell you were doing, I thought you had fallen in the wardrobe or something" I said as I poked my head round the door.

"I am not that clumsy" Millie said, as I slipped on a soft toy collapsing in a heap.

"really" I laughed. Good she's going to get herself killed one day. Going back to my room i turn my laptop off and go to sleep.

I'm woken by my alarm. We're filming some key scenes today so i want to get there early. Filming has been going well and the set looks amazing thanks to Sophie and Isacc has been amazing with all the affects and lighting.

I had the apartment to myself cause Belle was still away and now Millie has gone too. I think Belle's coming home either today or tomorrow though. 

I only have a small breakfast and then get dressed. I wear some dark blue jeans, a white lacey top and a grey hoodie. Then I put my hair up so its not in the way and put on some makeup.

I get to the set at 8. The set is pretty much just a cheap apartment. It only has three rooms. A bathroom, a bedroom and then an open living area. It's pretty bare and the colours mostly consist of brown and cream. But Isaac and I have loads of ideas to make everything look better when we edit. But we still want to keep it quite colourless to give the film a creepy feel.

Isaac and Dan are the only ones there when i arrive. Isaac is setting up some lighting and Dan is doing something on the computer while giving stats to Isaac.

"Hi" they greet me as i walk in.

"hey you alright?" I ask them both.

"Yeah just setting up some lighting stuff for the newspaper scene" Isaac answers. I nod and put my stuff down. Nothing had really happened between me and Dan since the kiss. We talked most the night. I told him about what happened and that my family and me weren't very close and haven't been for a long time. I didn't say why though when he asked. I just said that we didn't have much in common. I could tell he knew I was hiding something but he didn't push it. Maybe I'll tell him everything one day. But I'm scared that he'll leave me like everyone else did. Even Milie and Belle don't know everything. He'd stayed over that night as we'd both fallen asleep on the sofa but he hadn't made anymore moves.

Sophie and the cast arrived at 8 30. We started filming almost straight away. We were so busy we almost forgot about lunch. It wasn't till Isaac complained about being hungary at 3 that we realised. We had a half hour lunch break.

"Hey" Dan walked over. "How do you think things are going" He meant with the film.

"Everything looks good but I don't want to jinx it" I replied.

"Sorry i didn't text" Dan finally said hanging this head slightly.

"Its fine" I shrugged. But to be honest I had wondered why he didn't.

"No its not. I just didn't know what to say. I don't want to wreck anything"

"What do you mean?" I ask though I know.

"You know what I mean" He looks into my eyes.

"I know"  I say. "I don't want to wreck it either" I almost whisper the last part.

"Dan what are we doing for the next scene?" Tom shouts from acros the room. Dan rolls his eyes and goes over to Tom.

"Hey Graceless"

"Hi Isaac" I roll my eyes at him. Isaac had started calling me Graceless because my middle name is Grace and I'm completely and utterly graceless. He finds it highly amusing.

"So whats going on between you too" He gestures to Dan.

"Nothing" I say bluntly.

"Yeah right. I was wondering if you wanted to go for coffee tomorrow or something. I wanted to run through a couple of things for the effects"

"Yeah sure. I'll text you"

"Ok. Later Graceless" He says walking back to his computer.

"You know if you keep calling me that I'm going to have to get you a nickname too"

"Good luck with that Graceless" He winks. Idiot.

The rest of the afternoon flys by. Before long its 7pm.

"Bye everyone" I shout behind me as I start walking down the stairs.

"Esme! Wait up." Dan shouts behind me. I stop and wait for Dan. " Do you want to come to mine for dinner? Finn's ordering Indian"

"Sounds good" I smile. Dan grins. He takes my hand and we start walking.

"Dan there was the fittest girl in town today" Finn says as we walk though the door.

"Thats nice Finn" Dan says.

"Oh hi Esme"

"Hey"

"But I think she was with someone" Finn continues.

"What a shame" Dan says sarcasticly.

"We can't all have an Esme now can we" Finn grins. Dan blushes.

After Indian we play a load of video games. Dan gets really competive. Everytime he dies he goes on a swearing rant and blames something or other. Me and Finn just laugh at him.

"God its past midnight" I exclaim. I had completely lost track of time.

"You can stay here if you like. You can have my bed" Dan says.

"Are you sure I can just go on the sofa" I feel guilty kicking Dan out of his bed.

"No its fine. Thats ok with you Finn?"

"Yeah of course its your bed"

"I meant with Esme staying" Dan sighs.

"Oh right. Yeah thats fine with me"

"Oh god you can be so thick" Dan jokes shaking his head lowly at Finn. Finn throws a pillow it Dan.

"Guys no fighting" I joke. Dan throws a pillow at me. "Oh thats how it is huh? Bring it" I say in a gangster voice. Dan and Finn laugh. We then break into a full out pillow fight.
