Fall in Deep

26 - news

The words came expertly out of my mouth but my mind was wandering. It was wandering to LA, to Zendaya, to her family and to mine. I could feel my brothers eyes focused on me as I started crying for the scene. I could do fake tears, but these weren't fake.

Tears spilled from my eyes while words did the same from my mouth. My expression and emotion good. It was the perfect scene for me and I would normally enjoy it, but I couldn't, not today.

I still hadn't heard from Z and it was eating me from the inside. I was seconds away from getting a flight to LA, but my manager would kill me.

I crumpled to a heap on the floor, my body shaking with my sobs. This wasn't in the script but the director did yell cut, so I assumed she thought I was improvising.

All of a sudden my phone started ringing.

Shit I didn't turn it on silent.

"Cut," she yelled as I took my phone out of my pocket.

"Sorry everyone," I said as I started to put my phone away but I glanced at the caller ID.

I dropped my phone in shock and stared at it for a second before grabbing it again and running to my trailer. I could hear footsteps behind me and people calling my name but I didn't stop running until I got to my trailer.

"Hey, are you ok? What's happening? Why didn't you answer my calls? You didn't answer my texts, you didn't even tell me you were alive!"

"I'm sorry," Z's voice came from the other side of the phone. I could hear the heart break in her voice, the depression, the sadness.

"What happened?" I asked quietly

"The hospital collapsed,"

"Oh,"

"He didn't make it," she started crying as I froze in shock. Her dad... her dad was... dead.

"I'm so sorry, I'm coming to LA," I said and her cried muffled.

"But, you can't you're not allowed,"

"I don't care I'm coming," I said adamantly and I hung up.

I ran out my trailer and dashed for the car. My brother ran up to me with a crowd of people following him. I tried to open the door but he held it shut.

"Let me go," I said coldly, not looking at him.

"Why, who was that, what happened?"

I looked up at him with tears in my eyes.

"Her dad is dead, Ethan, now let me go," I stared him deep in the eyes and he stumbled back in surprise.

By now all the actors and camera men had gathered around the car to see what was going on.

I used this opportunity to open the car door but the director grabbed my arm.

"You can't go, you've already left once, if you leave again, we can't let you come back."

Rage fills me and I look straight into her eyes, no emotion inside me except anger.

"Well I'm sorry, I'm sorry that there was an earthquake where I live, I'm sorry that my family could've died, I'm sorry that I went up to check on the people I love," I shouted taking steps towards her menacingly as she slowly stepped backwards, "I'm sorry that there was a second earthquake, I'm sorry that my girlfriend could've died, I'm sorry that she didn't contact me or tell me what was happening, I'm sorry that my girlfriends dad fucking died and I wasn't told until today. So yeah, I'm going back to LA, to see the people I love. To support them and be the shoulder they can cry on. I'm sorry, but if I'm not allowed to be with them and film this movie, then I choose them. Screw this fucking movie." I said. And turned around sharply.

I took a few steps towards the car before falling flat on my face.

Hmm why did you faint and how's Z doing?
