You Again

Ugh! Today's going to be a long day. Apparently my manager set me up for an acting job in a music video for Black Veil Brides. I've never heard of them, but the name sounds so familiar I can almost taste it.

Sakura said I was probably going to have a great time and maybe meet a new guy. She really hates my boyfriend Drew, she says I'm too good for him, though I feel like he's way out of my league. I like him a lot, but do I love him? I don't know yet. Truth be told I'm still not over my ex. It's been about four years since I last saw him. He told me he fell for this singer named Juliet, and that he'd been seeing her for a couple of months. I was crushed. I'd known him since grade one and we started dating the summer before freshman year. He told me he loved me over and over, and I fell for it.

Perhaps looking back on the past can be negative, it's best I just focus on getting past today. I put on my white tanktop, black jean shorts, and a pair of flip flops. I keep my hair down and don't bother doing makeup, the makeup artists are going to cake that stuff on me when I get there so there's no use. I grab my purse and walk out to my car. I jump in and start driving down to the warehouse they're shooting the music video at. I turn on the radio and let Uptown Funk blast through my Ford.

When I finally get there, I'm greeted by the manager of the band. I think he said his name was John.

"Okay we'll get you into wardrobe and get your makeup done, then we'll discuss your part in the video." He says. I giving a small nod before the costume designers pull me away.

After an hour a preparation of me, I'm sent to go looking for John. They're having me wear dark ripped clothing. I have black paint randomly on my body, I have what looks like stitched wounds, and I have a weird mask thing. I'm guessing this band is not pop. I walk around a little longer before I find John with two other people. I clear my throat loud enough for the manager to hear me.

"Good, you're all ready. Oh this is CC our drummer, and Jake our lead guitarist." John says. I shake both their hands.

"It's nice to meet you." The tanner one says. I don't know which one is which.

"Thanks, so what kind of music do you guys play?" I ask. I'm curious as to why I have to look so strange.

"We're a rock band, I'm guessing you've never heard of us." The other one says.

"No sorry." I say.

"Well let's get you through the first scene." John says. I let out a silent sigh and do as I'm instructed.

About halfway into the production, they call the band in. I just hope the rest of them are as nice as the two members I've already met. I watch as they all walk in. Jake and CC walk in first followed by two others.

"Hurry up dude!" I think Jake yells that to their dressing room.

"I am!" I deep unforgettable voice yells back. Is that who I think it is? Oh please no! He walks out and my eyes are glued onto his piercing blue ones. My throat becomes dry and I start to feel numb. That's Andrew, my ex. I take a deep breath and try to calm my nerves.

"Alright, Andy we need you over by the girl. She going to faint, you'll have to catch her and carry her to the coffin." The director says. Oh brother! The director keeps talking by I just zone him out. Andy walks up to me with another member I'm guessing just from what they're wearing.

"Hi I'm Andy and this is Ashley, it's nice to meet you." He says shaking my hand. He can't see my face with this mask thingy on, good riddance.

"My name's Isabelle, and the pleasure is all mine." I say. My momma raised me well; she said that even though someone has done something bad to you in the best, you still have to be kind to show them you're the bigger person. I see Ashley looking at me like I'm a piece of meat and I kinda back up.

"Places people!" The director shouts, back to work.

After a couple of hours, the music video is finished and I've gotten all the makeup off my body. I'm back into my own clothes and are about to leave... "Isabelle!" Their manager shouts. I turn around, keep my head down, and walk towards him. The whole band is talking with him right now, I don't want Andy to see me.

"Sup?" I ask softly.

"I just wanted to thank you for your hard work today and give you your payment." He says handing me my check.

"Thank you, call me back if you need someone for another music video." I say, but wishing that he won't. He nods and I walk out of the warehouse.

Worst day ever! I hate having to do these gigs, I want to model for Vogue like my boyfriend. Shit! I forgot my purse. I turn around and walk into him.

"Oh sor-, Isabelle?" He asks amazed.

I rush past him and back to wear I got my makeup done. I look under the table. There's my purse! I grab it and when I turn around he stands right in front of me.

"Belle, it's been so long." He says smiling, as if he's glad to see me.

Tears begin to well up in my eyes and I walk past him and run out of the building. I hear him yell my name but I just keep running to my car. When I get outside, I see it's probably around 7:30pm. I jump into my car and start driving over to Sakura's apartment.

I need to see my best friend, she's the only one who can help me get through this.
