Only With You

Chapter 3 : We Come Running

The next few days are hectic. I have so many meetings about this project that my head is constantly spinning. Once you add in the moving and packing on top of that, and it has been a long few days. Luckily most of my friends took the party as saying our goodbyes, but there are a few people I have gotten close to that didn't make it over. I fit as many goodbyes in between meetings as I can. All of these goodbyes have made these last few days so much more emotional and draining. I hate goodbyes. They feel so final and it always makes leaving so much more difficult. It is much easier knowing that I am only going to Canada, instead of back home.

Once I agreed to do this show and my world was tossed into chaos. There was so much to do to get ready to head to Vancouver.  I had to meet with my agents to sign contracts, have meetings with the writers, meetings with the studio, so many meetings. I had meetings that I have no idea why I was even in the room. Hopefully I will start to feel more comfortable with all of this stuff, once I get to Vancouver. I was given an updated script and a schedule of training before we even start shooting. It looks like I will be busy once I get to Vancouver. The schedule is pretty intense, and I am happy I will be busy.

I am so exhausted after this week that I just want to sleep for 24 hours. Now that I finally have a break after what seems like 36 hours straight of meetings, I want to do absolutely nothing until I have to leave for the airport in 12 hours.

I am staying with Gus tonight since we had to give up our rental and he is taking us to the airport in the morning. I came back here and locked myself in my room to get some peace. I should have known that with Raven staying here too I would not get any peace and quiet. So, I am not surprised that my plans of doing nothing are interrupted by Raven flopping next to me on Gus' spare bed. I have been getting constant text messages from her with questions about everything under the sun related to this trip. I had to turn my phone off several times, so I was able to focus during these boring meetings. Tonight, she is vibrating with excitement over this trip and I know I should be too, but after all of these meetings I am just exhausted.

She is talking a mile a minute and way more excited that I can muster right now. She is going on about something and it would take more brain power than I currently have to understand her.

"Whoa Rae, take a breath. What's up?" I interrupt her.

She takes a deep breath and then continues a little slower this time, "I am so excited I get to live with you in Canada. How did you get them to agree to fly me up too?"

"I may have called you my personal assistant, one I couldn't live without," I say brightly knowing she is going to be pissed.

"Oh my God Clarke that is perfect. You are a genius. Are they going to pay me too?" she exclaims.

"I don't think I discussed that, but you do get to live with me for free for a few weeks. My roommate isn't moving in until after filming starts. And of course, you get to come with me to set and hang around Bellamy Blake." I respond laughing at her face at the mention of his name.

"Rae I am exhausted. It's been a long few days and all I want to do is sleep," I whine.

"Fine party pooper. Be ready to leave first thing in the morning. Gus is taking us to the airport at some god awful early time." She says as she leaves my room. As I get the rest of my stuff together and make sure everything is ready to go in the morning, I get a text from an unknown number.

UNKNOWN: Hi Clarke. This is Lexa Woods. They told me we are future roommates. I wanted to hi. I would have done it sooner, but this filming schedule has been kicking my ass. Enjoy the house. The photos I have seen of it are amazing. I will see you in a few weeks.
