Love, Fame and Film (Christian Coma love story)

Chapter 3: Audition (part 2)

"OK then everyone. For the next part, you'll have three people to work with. Two will be Kade and Adam stand-ins just for this part. You'll also be with Christian. Here are your scripts. Good luck." Kelly announced. I took my script. Oh no. This was going to be a hard one. I learn my part and waited for my turn. Looking around, everyone else did their parts with disgust in their eyes. Then it was me. "Off you go." Kelly encouraged.

"Kade? Where are you?" Phoenix called out. No response. "Kade?" Still nothing. Phoenix entered a room to find Kade lying pretty much half-dead on the floor. Phoenix let out a loud scream. "KADE! KADE PLEASE! WAKE UP! DON'T!" he howled. CC and I heard the commotion and we ran in on Phoenix holding the dying Kade in his hands.

"Oh my..." I gasped.

"Help him. Please." Phoenix begged. I dashed over, feeling for a pulse in his wrist. Nothing. Neck. Nothing. He was gone. Kade was gone. I shook my head lightly, the tears flowing freely. "NO! I WILL NOT LET HIM DIE! PLEASE!" Phoenix cried. CC came over and placed a hand on Phoenix's shoulder.

"Oh Phoenix. I'm so-" CC began.

"DON'T EVEN SAY IT! HE'S STRONG! HE'S NOT GOING TO DIE!" Phoenix yelled. He was sobbing violently, shaking like mad.

"Phoenix. Let him go he's- Oh no." I breathed. That's when I saw it. An empty pill bottle on the floor. I picked it up and showed it to Phoenix. "I'm so so sorry. There's nothing I can do." I whispered. Phoenix let out a particularly loud cry. I shuffled to him, rubbing his back lightly. CC sat beside me, placing his hand on my shoulder and squeezing gently. I looked at him. He was crying to. As was I. As was Phoenix. Kade was gone. And there was nothing we could do about it.

"Well done you guys! That was so emotional!" Kelly complimented. I stood up, wiping away the tears but they kept falling. "Come on. Last person." Kelly ushered. CC turned to her.

"One moment please?" he asked. Kelly nodded. CC turned back to me, placing his hands on my shoulders. "Are you OK?" he whispered.

"I'm quite sensitive to any well... Attempted suicides or actual suicides seen as... Well... I've tried... Xavier, my friend, has tried and from what I've heard, my other friend, Hugo has tried. It's a touchy subject for me." I replied. CC nodded in understanding.

"I'm here for you. Please don't do it again." CC asked. I nodded. He smiled before leaving with Kelly and the others. After five more minutes of screaming and tears, they were done.

"So, the last one of today is about trust and falling. It'll take half an hour to set up equipment so you can go do what you want during that time frame." Kelly called out. I decided to watch the casting of Kade and Adam. I walked straight in on a crying Hugo and a dead Xavier. I stayed put, hoping they were doing the scene of what we just did. They then finished the scene and Xavier sat up and Hugo wiped away his tears. Thank god. When they were left alone, I walked over to them.

"Nice scene there!" I laughed. They both bowed. "How's it going in here?" I asked.

"Going well. I GOT TO KISS HIM... Um..." Xavier stammered. I looked at him knowingly. I noticed Hugo scratching the back of his neck

"Aww!" I cried out. They looked at me confused. "You like him and he likes you! That is so cute!" I squealed. They looked at each other.

"You like me?" Hugo asked.

"Well... Yeah... I do..." Xavier mumbled, looking at the floor.

"I like you to." Hugo smiled. I felt my heart swell. Xavier looked up at Hugo and smiled. Hugo leant down, being taller that Xavier, and pressed his lips to Xavier's. I almost jumped up and down with the cuteness. They pulled back smiling and holding hands.
