"She's back!" Ramon yells as I walk onto set
"Y/n!" They cheer
"Welcome back" Nicole smiles
"Thanks" I smile back
"We are so happy you decided to stay with us" a producer says
"Yeah and don't worry about feeling out of place, you're exactly where you belong" another producer says as she looks Lauren's way
"Harper do you have a problem?" Lauren asks annoyed
"Yeah. W a piece of shit" She says
"Excuse me?! Why don't you-" Lauren starts
"-OK how about we get ready to shoot the scene huh?" Ramon interrupts
-
"So I changed a few lines in this scene" Lauren says as she hands out the revised script
"What is this?" Nicole asks. "I thought this is the scene where Y/n's character kidnaps you're entire family, ties them up and, puts them in a truck?"
"Yeah so I changed it to be a little more reasonable" Lauren says
"But there's no kidnap?" Nicole says
"Yeah" Lauren says
"I practiced all night to perfect my kidnap face?!" She says
"Ok well, you don't need it anymore" Lauren says
"You know you can't just erase something you already wrote and think all is forgiven?" An actor says
"Yeah I'm well aware thanks" Lauren sarcastically says
"I think we should just keep it the way it was, really shows the world the lengths you were willing to go to to ruin Y/n's life" Someone says
"Yeah I agree" someone else says
"Guys I appreciate it but I don't think ganging up on her does anyone any good" I say
"She kinda deserves it though" Someone says
"Look I said I was sorry!" Lauren says
"Fuck you" Someone says
"Whoa!" I yell
"Who said that?!" She yells
"Stop" I say
"Fuck this" she says as she walks away
"Hey" I say running after her. "Are you ok?"
"Wtf was that?" She asks
"I don't know" I say
"I know I fucked up but, do I really deserve that?" She asks
"...Just ignore it"
"So I'll take that as a yes" she says letting out a slight laugh
"Let's just go back out there" I say as we both stand up
-
"It had a been a couple hours since everyone attacked Lauren and we had been shooting for most of it.
"Great Nicole! Now I just need a little more emotion in this next take" I say
Lauren had changed a few scenes from the script and it was obvious it was to please me. There was no more kidnapping or hitting people with sticks, it was barely even a thriller anymore.
"Cut!" I yell
"What? Why what's up?" Lauren asks me
"...I can't do this" I say
"Do what?" She asks
"Be your director" I say
"Oh... but I fixed the script and-" she says
"Yeah thanks for that but, this doesn't feel right" I say
"But... they'll sue" she says
"Yeah I know" I say. "I'm just really confused right now"
"Because of me?" She asks
"...Because of all of this" I say. "...I don't know maybe I'll see you tomorrow, maybe I won't" I say as I take off my mic and gather my things
"You can't just go in the middle of filming Y/n" Lauren says
"I'm not, I yelled cut 15 minutes ago, we got the shot" I say as I open the door
"Wait" she says. "You can't just leave"
"...See you when I see you Lauren" I say as I close the door behind me

Lauren POV
"Where's Y/n?" Ramon asks as he walks towards us
"Try the freeway" I say
