"I have a question" Billie asks over face time as I read my script. "Hey Liz" I hear and my ears perk up. "Hold that thought" I tell Billie and turn to Melissa. "You're needed on set" she says and I put my script down. "Alright I'll be right there" I say and she walks out.

"I gotta go" I say and hang up. Mine and Billie's relationship has gotten a little rocky. As her tour started she hardly had time for me and with my filming I was never able to pick up the phone. Are talks became just simple hellos before we were forced to hang up.

I head to the set and have them set my vest up under my shirt. It was a fight scene day and to avoid to much injury the were gonna put a vest on under my clothes to restrict most of the damage. "Keep the jacket pulled over like here so its not obvious" Janet the fight scene director says and I nod.

"Alright everyone in place" a director shouts and I get into my position. "And action" I hear and we let the scene play out. With a few kicks I knew were gonna leave bruises to a few punches that left my knuckles sore and aching. The director calls cut to add the remaing blood needed on my face and we go back at it.

The fight scene was shot a total of seven times and my body hurt. "Alright I want you all back at 8 and if your late I'm reducing your pay" the director shouts and let's us go. "Hey are you still hanging with us tonight" Lauren my other costar asks as Ethan stand next to her.

"Yea let me just clean up" I say and head to my dressing room. I change and clean my face before meeting up with them so we can go. We head to Ethan's car with me in the back and he drives to his house.

"So Liz I heard there's trouble in paradise" Lauren says and I raise an eyebrow. "Come again" I ask and she turns to face me.

"You and your girlfriend. You haven't had time for each other and you guys seem to be fighting" she says and shrugs. "We haven't fought it was just a small disagreement" I say and she nods. "Okayyyyyy" she says dragging it out.

We're not fighting right? No no we just had a small disagreement that's all. We arrive at Ethan's house and get out to head inside. His dog daisy jumps all over me and I pet her. "Alright pizza and a movie" he says and orders a pizza as Lauren and I fight over what's the best horror movie.

"Ok Halloween is better than fucking nightmare in elm street. I mean only the first one was even good" I say and she scoffs. "No Halloween is stupid" she shoots back and Ethan comes in. "Lauren you only want to watch that because of Johnny Depp" he says and she scoffs. "That's insane I can't believe you would...oh you're right" she says and we all laugh.

"Fine we can watch Halloween" she says and I clap. "Let's wait for the food first alright" Ethan says and sits on the couch. I sit down as well on the long end of the couch and cuddle up next to daisy who licks my cheek. I had this weird feeling in my gut like I was forgetting something but I wasn't sure what it was.

The doorbell rings and Lauren gets up to grab the food. She gives a tip and I help her bring the drinks in. We set them on the table along with the pizza and that's when I feel my phone vibrate only that wasn't the first time. Six missed calls line my screen and I realize what I forgot. "Shit shit shit" I say and unlock my phone.

"What's wrong" Ethan asks and I tug on my hair. "I was suppose to call Billie after filming but I completely forgot" I say and click call. I head outside on the balcony and pace as it rings.

"Hey I'm so fucking sorry" I say and Billie cuts me off. "Really Liz I mean you promised and you just blow me off" she says and I sigh. "I didnt mean to I was just so caught up in work and then I got carried away with Lauren and Ethan" I say and she scoffs.

"Ok so you completely forgot what we were suppose to do didnt you" she asks and my mind goes blank. "You're actually unbelievable we were suppose to face time all night becuase it was the only night we were both free and instead you blew me off for your friends" she says and I pull on my hair. "Billie I forgot ok, and yes I know I shouldn't have but I've been so busy" I say and she scoffs again.

"How many times are you gonna use that excuse" she says and I stop. "Excuse me" I ask and she chuckles bitterly. "No its just anytime you miss out on something its the same excuse that you were busy and you forgot. Just say it Liz you'd rather hang out with your friends than your girlfriend" Billie says and I bite my bottom lip.

"I never question you when your busy" I say while raising my voice. "If you have shit to do I let you and dont care about what we had to do because I want you to do the best at your job so why can't you do the same" I say and start pacing again.

"I still have time for you" she mumbles and I shake my head. "If you hate the idea of the movie so fucking much then why did you tell me to take the job" I ask and she sighs. "I wasn't thinking alright and I thought you'd still have time for me" she says and I find myself getting angry.

"I try to make time for you but its not good enough. I can't just drop my fucking job Billie thats not how it works" I shout and she goes silent. "I can't keep fighting with you Billie. We've got to make this work or just give up. Alright I'm sorry my schedule is so hectic and there is nothing I can fucking do about it but I'm trying my best for the sake of are relationship" I say and she sighs. "I've gotta go" she says and just like that my heart broke.

I shove my phone in my back pocket and run a hand through my hair. "Everything alright" I hear and I let out a shaky breath. "Yea let's um let's watch that movie" I say and sit back down.
