serendipity - johnny depp

13. filming and a visitor

* 3-month time skip*

BELLA

I quickly adjusted the skirt I was wearing, smoothening it out. Hard knocking on the door was heard, followed by a loud "Bella! You ready?" 

I looked in the mirror one more time and called out, "Yeah, give me a minute." I put on an extra coat of red lipstick and headed out of my trailer. I saw Johnny in full hair and makeup, leaning against the lamp post just in front of my trailer.

"Took you long enough." he teased and poked the side of my stomach. 

"Yeah well, my process is much longer than yours," I said as I giggled and jogged a bit towards the set. 

He quickly caught up to me with a frown on his face. "That's not true." 

I raised my eyebrows at him said, "Yes Johnny, I'm sure putting on some jeans and a leather jacket takes a long time." 

He chuckled at my response and groaned. "What about my hair? That takes about 1 hour alone." 

I rolled my eyes and playfully shoved him. We had arrived at the set where one of the first scenes would be, a school.

After agreeing with Laura about doing a movie together, we quickly got cast for a kind of like musical romantic-comedy called Cry-Baby. It was kind of like a version of Romeo and Juliet,  only during the '50s. Johnny would play the 'hot biker guy' and I would be kind of like the sweet good girl from the other side.

I was excited about mostly everything. I loved the idea of musicals, even though we wouldn't actually be singing. The director didn't want to take any chances, so we would just lip-sync. I knew we were gonna have tons of fun. Plus, seeing Johnny attempt to dance and sing every day for about 2 or 3 months really did put me in a good mood. 

As we shot some scenes outside the school, I had a tiny break so Johnny could shoot with some of his 'family members'. We had gotten Lisa, our all-time favorite hair and makeup artist to help us out for the film, so I looked around for her and saw that she was tidying up her workplace.

"Hey, Lisa!" She turned around and broke into a smile as she saw me walking over to her. "Bella dear, what's up."

I shrugged and tightened my ponytail a bit. "Nothing, I have a tiny 20-minute break, you wanna go get some coffee or something?" 

"Sure, but you don't want to leave set, do you? You're gonna have to change your outfit." 

I looked down at my grey blouse and long skirt and sighed deeply. "You're right, I won't have time."

She chuckled and grabbed my hand, leading me to the small diner. "Don't worry honey, we'll just go to the cafeteria here." I nodded and sat down on one of the booths. Lisa offered to get both of our coffees, even after I refused, so I just sat there waiting, playing with the hem of my skirt, looking out the window, watching the crew and cameramen carrying stuff.

"Izzy! I just love bumping into you." Mila's voice interrupted me from my thoughts, and I realized she was now sitting in front of me, leaning towards me as if I would leave, which I probably would. 

Her fake smile and voice had just been enough for me. Johnny had fixed things with her, and I was sure she was getting more obnoxious each day.

"Don't call me Izzy." I didn't really want to make a fuss, but she knew I hated it when anyone but Johnny called me Izzy. She smiled devilishly and rested her chin on both of her hands.

"Yeah anyway, have you seen Johnny around here?" 

Be nice Bella. "Yeah, he's shooting right now, he's in Set C." She quickly stood up and smoothed out her v-neck t-shirt and pushed her boobs out. Something I really didn't want to see.

"Thank you sweetie, he must be missing me already! It's been about-" she stopped talking and started counting with her fingers. I looked at her confusedly. "-yes it's been 11 hours since we had sex." She giggled extra excitedly and leaned down to me. "When's the last time you had sex, Izzy? Bet it was probably ages ago right?"

That last comment made my blood boil. I stood up from the booth and she quickly stepped back. "Look Mila, I really have no interest when you have sex, and you shouldn't worry about me either. I can leave this place and fuck any guy I want, but I'm not a desperate bitch, like other people here."

Mila scoffed, but then laughed and started heading for the door, "Yeah but here's the thing sweetie-" she looked back at me, and I crossed my arms, waiting to see what she had to say. "-I'm fucking the guy you actually want, and that makes me the winner here."

My jaw fell wide open, and I heard coffee cups shattering to my left. I looked and saw that Lisa was shocked at what she had just said. I looked back at Mila angrily, and before I could say anything, she left and made her way towards the set.

"That bitch." I wanted to scream. I sat back down on the booth and rubbed my temples furiously. Lisa immediately came over to me and wrapped her arms around my small frame.

"She's crazy." She muttered as she held me close. I nodded and pulled away, frustrated because she had gotten the last laugh. 

"It makes me so fucking angry." I groaned and closed my eyes in frustration. "And she's completely wrong! I don't even want to fuck Johnny!" I heard Lisa sigh, I opened my eyes and continued, "I just get so mad that she's this totally different person around him."

"Even if she still acted like this in front of him, he's too much in love to care," Lisa added. I knew she was right, there really was no way anyone could make him see the side of her that was rude and bitchy to everyone but him. I sighed and slouched down.

Lisa spoke up and said, "I'm sorry about the coffee, I was just shocked about what she had said." I chuckled and started to stand up. "Don't worry about it, now that she's here for the day we're all gonna need something stronger than coffee."
