《Nothing Lasts Forever》10. Making Friends
Advertisement
I cannot believe that I am actually going to be in a movie.
Not only that, but I am going to be playing a Princess.
This amazing sense of euphoria crashes down upon me at this realization.
I awkwardly stroll up to the gate of the filming lot.
Whoa! This place is huge!
"Name?" A man asks from inside of a small white booth
"Delaney Carson" I smile at him
His eyes briefly scan over a piece of paper on a clipboard before he scribbles something down with a pen.
I patiently wait as he does this, staring around at everything like a kid at Disneyland for the first time.
"Your first time on a film set?" He asks
I turn to face him only to notice that he is staring at me now.
I chuckle awkwardly at this.
"Is it that obvious?" I joke
He teeters his head from side to side as he pretends to think of an answer.
"It's pretty obvious," he admits
"Oh! I need something to confirm your identity" he asks
I do as he says and retrieve my drivers license from the pocket of my black sweatpants.
I waste no time as I hand him said license.
He thanks me as he compares my driver's license photo to a photo he has attached to his clipboard.
Curiosity takes over me as I peak over the clipboard only to notice that there is a photo of everyone who is going to be on the lot.
Wow. That is an interesting way of making sure everyone is accounted for.
He returns my driver's license to me with a bright smile.
"Good morning Miss Carson, I hope that you have a wonderful day" he compliments as he presses a button that opens the gates to the lot
I thank him before I stroll through said gates.
'Ahh!' I yell inside of my head so that I am the only one who hears it
It takes everything in me not to jump up and down with excitement.
I do think that I have ever been so excited for a new business venture before.
"Delaney Carson?" I hear someone yell out my name
I turn to face the direction that the voice is coming from only to notice a thirty year old woman making her way towards me.
Technically I have no clue if she is actually thirty years old.
As I wait for her to catch up to me I not so secretly trail my eyes over her body.
Her hair is slicked down into a low ponytail that rests against the back of her black shirt.

In one of her hands she is holding a script, similar to the one that they gave me actually, while in the other hand she is hold a hot cup of coffee that she got to-go.
"Hi! My name's Gigi, I'm the director of this movie." She smiles as she approaches
My eyes wide the slightest bit at her straightforwardness.
"Hi Gigi, I am so happy to be meeting you" I tell her honestly
The two of us respectively shake hands before releasing our grip on each other's hand.
"As am I," she uses her head to motion for me to follow her
As I begin doing this her smiling facial expression falls into one of hesitance.
"Look, I'm aware of your...dislike for McKenna," she starts off
My heart begins to beat rather painfully in my chest at her words.
How did she find out about this?
'You and Hunter have been publicly feuding for years, it was not that hard to pick up on the dislike you both have for each other' a voice inside my head says
Oh...right.
"All I ask is that the two of you try to be civil around each other while on set" she finishes
I nod my head in acknowledgment.
A question that has been bothering me for a while now suddenly pops into my head.
"If you do not mind me asking, Why did you pick Hunt- McKenna and I to play the leads?" I ask with genuine curiosity
Gigi chuckles at my question, suddenly stopping and turning to face me.
"To be quite frank with you, you two remind me of my wife and I before we began dating"
I try my best not to laugh at her.
Hunter and I? Dating in the future?
I felt a fluttering in my lower belly just thinking about it.
I think that I might hurl.
"But Hunt-" I try my best not to groan out at me calling her by her real name instead of her fake name
This is going to be a hard habit to break.
"But McKenna and I have no chemistry with each other" I try to explain to her
The woman pursues her lips as she silently stares at me.
She seems like she is going to deny my claim but changes her mind at the last second.
"Go inside the hair and make up trailer before you go to your trailer. Your costume should be in your trailer by the time you are finished," she smiles before walking off
I continue to stare at her back as she makes her way away from me.

...What?!
"Chop chop Delaney, time is money!" She rushes me
I jump at this.
How did she know that I did not enter the trailer yet.
I quickly climb up the metal stairs and enter the long trailer where I notice a few other actors getting their makeup done.
"Delaney, you're late" a woman rushes me as she pushes me over towards a random chair and plops me down in it
What the heck is happening?!
Before I can protest a girl with a hairdresser apron begins to play with my brunette hair, a lady with cool looking tattoos attempting to find a makeup shade that matches my face.
-
"Great! Who's next?!" The woman who pushed me in the chair yells out as she now pulls me out of the chair
Oh my goodness! This is all so hectic!
As I am exiting the hair and makeup trailer another person barrels into said trailer, knocking me off the small staircase.
A small scream leaves me lips as I prepare myself to hit the hard gravel of the parking lot.
Thankfully this painful moment does not come as I fall into someone's arms.
Judging by how muscular they feel I can safely assume that they or a guy...or that they workout a lot.
I open my eyes so that I can look at the person who caught me.
To my surprise I am met with another one of my costars' faces, more specifically the actor who is playing the character 'Bane'.
He has a very sculpted face with high cheekbones.
His eyes are a hazel, yellow hybrid.
He seems to have already been inside of the hair and makeup trailer judging by how stiff his hair seems to be.
I nervously chuckle when I notice that I have been staring at him a little too long considering that I am still in his arms.
He seems to realize this as well as he gently lowers me so that I can stand on my feet again.
As soon as I am able to balance on my feet he stands back up to his full height.
A small smirk rests on his light pink lips.
"I'm Prince Bane" he holds his hand out for me to shake
I furrow my eyebrows at this.
Why is he introducing himself as his character.
I eventually shrug my shoulders and decide to join him nonetheless.
"Princess Elaine" I introduce as I shake his hand
He truly surprises me by turning my hand over so that the top of my hand is facing up towards the sky.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Princess Elaine," he places a small peck onto the back of back
This action elicits a laugh out of me.
He is so cute.
"My name is actually Delaney Carson" I smile sheepishly as he drops my hand
He chuckles at me.
"I know, I just wanted to joke around with you a bit" he shrug
I nod my head at this.
He is an....interesting individual.
He begins to walk off in the direction of the actor and actress trailers.
I follow him due to me having to find my trailer anyway.
"Are you not going to tell me your name?" I ask him with a raised brow
The actor hums a bit before shaking his head.
"Nope, I don't think I will" he teases
My jaw drops at this.
"That is so not fair," I playfully push him away
Due to my nonexistent strength he barely moves.
"I told you my name, it is only fair that you tell me yours" I state
He shrugs as the two of us continue to walk through the plethora of trailers.
"To be fair I already knew your name before you told me," he states
"When are you going to release another song by the way? All of us fans are starving for new music" he teases me
I roll my eyes at his joke.
"Ha ha ha, so funny" I sarcastically reply
He takes a turn and begins to make his way towards a trailer.
Upon closer inspection I notice that there is a paper taped to the door with my name, as well as my character's name, in black lettering.
"If you guess the letter that my name starts with then I'll tell you my name" he inevitably relents
I chuckle at this but nod my head nonetheless, agreeing to his game.
"Does it start with a 'J'?" I ask
He shakes his head.
"An 'A'?" I ask
He shakes his head a second time.
"'K'?"
"This is going to take awhile" he jokes
I roll my eyes at this.
"You could have easily just told me your name," I shrug my shoulders
He chuckles, opening the door to my trailer.
"You brought this upon yourself" I state
I am so focused on the steps underneath my feet, not wishing to slip again, that I do not realize the he is frozen at the top step.
I only find this out when I run into his back, almost falling on my ass.
"Holy shit" he says
I notice the shock in his tone.
Curious to know what he is looking at I try my best to peek over his shoulder only to immediately regret this decision.
"What the actual fuck!" The words leave my mouth before I can stop them.
