Alex

I can’t assume straight.

For the following two days, I screw up and I screw up massive time. I’d gained a popularity for doing solo scenes in a single take. Not proper now. I flub my strains, I miss my marks, and the very last thing I wish to do is figure.

I got here to New Zealand to work, not fall in love.

And now I’m failing at each.

Everybody round me is sympathetic. Phrase has unfold concerning the TMZ story, and I’ve the assist of all of the forged and crew.

It’s in all probability simply as effectively that when I’ve received by way of these scenes, they’re my final of the film.

After which the casting announcement hits.

It ought to be the happiest day of my life.

However my coronary heart’s simply not in it realizing I can’t be with the one individual I wish to share this second with.

It doesn’t matter how many individuals congratulate me. It doesn’t matter that that is the most important profession step I’ve taken.

I’m depressing with out Lana and Casey.

All I can do is hope that they’re okay.

On the third morning, I name Reece. Certainly, he will need to have dealt with intrusions into his private life, and there’s one thing about him that makes me assume I can belief him. We don’t know one another effectively, however he’s somebody I’ve appeared as much as these previous few years, and I hope we come out of the film we’re making collectively as buddies.

I lie on the sofa in my front room and take a deep breath.

“Alex?” he asks as he solutions the decision. A loud thud comes from behind him.

“Hey, Reece. I puzzled in the event you had a minute?”

“Positive factor,” he drawls. “Sorry concerning the noise. We’re shifting gear into Pania’s workshop. She’s beginning a trend enterprise and we’ve given her some workplace house. At present is setup day.” He pauses. “I noticed the announcement exit.”

I swallow arduous. “Yeah. Thanks.”

“You don’t sound too enthusiastic. I hope you’re not having second ideas?”

I shift my gaze to the ceiling. “I used to be questioning in the event you may give me some recommendation.”

“Give me a second.” The background noise fades till it’s gone. “That’s higher. How can I assist?”

I attract a deep breath. “I’m not likely certain the place to begin. I don’t know in the event you keep in mind, however once we went to dinner, I instructed you I met somebody.”

“Uh-huh.”

“Issues have gone a bit loopy. Even earlier than the announcement. We ended up on TMZ and a few fan tried to seize my girlfriend’s daughter from day care.”

There’s silence for a second. “Seize her?”

“Yeah. Some fifteen-year-old looking for out if Casey’s my daughter.” I run my fingers by way of my hair. “I didn’t … I didn’t assume we’d appeal to that a lot consideration.”

He blows out a breath. “That’s a tricky one. Pania and I managed to fly beneath the radar for fairly some time. Josh had some points with the media when he received again along with Delaney, his spouse. I’ll speak to him if that helps.”

“I’d recognize it. I simply don’t know what to do.” I shut my eyes. “My girlfriend broke up with me over it.”

“Shit, dude. I’m so sorry.”
