serendipity - johnny depp

27. rehearsals

(a/n- if you haven't watched Cry-baby and don't know which scene I'm talking about, you can watch the video here. xx)

*a day later*

BELLA

"Isabella Jones get your ass right here, right now." I winced as Sarah's loud voice came through the phone speaker. 

I giggled quietly and put the phone back to my ear. "I'm sorry Sarah, I'm filming right now I can't just leave."

"That is no excuse." 

I knew I had to tell her what was going on with Johnny, and now that it was printed on every paper and magazine anyone could get their hands on, it's obvious that I was late on telling my friends the news.

"It's not an excuse I swear. I really have to go right now, but how about we do something later tonight?" 

I heard her sigh through the phone and finally said, "Fine. I'm calling Courteney and Naomi too. They're both in town."

"Great! Your place or mine?"

"Mine. Johnny would distract you if we go to your place." 

I chuckled silently when she said this and said, "Perfect, after I finish filming I'll go straight to yours."

"Bye, sweetie," Sarah said as she hung up. 

I quickly left my trailer to the dance rehearsal room. I was in some sweat pants and a crop top because John said to bring comfortable clothes for this morning.

Apparently, we would be rehearsing one of the numbers in the film called 'Please, Mr. Jailor.' From what the script said, this was the scene where we would go to jail and try to get Cry-baby and his friends out. But we had to practice for the dance routine, which we would learn right now.

I walked up to the room and saw John talking to Johnny. As soon as he saw me he smiled and walked over to me, leaving John talking to himself. I laughed and shook my head, knowing how pissed John would be. He grabbed me by the waist and kissed me softly on the forehead.

"Hi, honey." I was trying my best to not care about him calling me that anymore, which was so often that I just couldn't keep getting mad. I smiled and took his hand and led him over to where John was.

"Alright guys you finished?" John asked sarcastically. 

I blushed and Johnny squeezed my hand a bit tighter.

"What do we have to do today?" I asked John. 

"Right now we'll go over how this scene is supposed to go, dance movements and everything. You guys already learned the lyrics right?"

We both nodded and listened to him. "Most of the dance moves will be spontaneous and freestyle, there's not really a strict dance routine, only in some parts." 

I sighed gratefully, I knew that I wouldn't be able to remember a whole dance routine. Johnny on the other hand looked nervous. I knew he hated dancing, so this was gonna be fun to watch.

John walked over to the center of the room and gathered up all the other actors. "Okay guys, the song starts off with Alison on top of a car, right outside of the building. You guys will all be dancing surrounding the car, looking up to the jail window, where Cry-Baby is."

We all nodded and waited for him to continue. "Then the scenery changes and we'll be filming inside of the jail, where all the prisoners are. You guys have a tiny little routine there, but it's just about doing the steps on time, it's not hard at all." He paused and looked at Johnny. "Then Johnny, you'll go over to the window and watch Allison and your friends."
