《Nothing Lasts Forever》12. Trials and Tribulations
Advertisement
"Ugh! I seriously do not understand how anyone could actually like her!" I groan out
"I hate her! I truly, honestly hate McKenna King!" I confess
I flinch away from the on set medic as they continue to disinfect the cuts on my arms and shoulders.
Thanks to the nightgown I did not suffer any scratches to my back.
My arms and shoulders however have tons of small, deep scratches on them.
Wesley was kind enough to follow me to follow me to my trailer and wait with me for the medic, keeping me company.
"I've worked with her before," Wesley reveals
This shocks me more than it should have.
I go to ask him what project did they worked on together only to cry out with pain as the medic digs the alcohol soaked cloth into a rather large patch that my skin came off of.
"I think it was a year or two ago, I have no clue with how fast paced casting season is," he rolls his eyes
I make a motion with one of my hands, silently telling him to get to the point.
He nods his head with understanding.
"She and I did a short film where we had to pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend, we even had to share a kiss"
I stare expressionlessly at him.
"Are you trying to make me jealous?...or...?" I ask
I honestly have no clue where he is going with this story.
He chuckles but shakes his head.
"What I'm trying to say is that even under all of those circumstances she wasn't nearly as cruel to me as she was to you today" he finally finishes
I hum at this.
That is interesting to know.
"So I am the only person on her hit list. Amazing!" I sarcastically throw my arms up only to groan with pain

Wesley does not respond as he seems to be thinking about something.
I remain silent and allow him to do this.
I practically thank all of the gods above when the medic takes the alcohol cloth away from my skin, grabbing her first aid kit.
I watch her with curiosity as she retrieves a large flesh colored bandage and wraps it around each of my forearms due to me having the most cuts in those areas.
The silence in the trailer is interrupted by a loud knock on the door.
"Come in" I call out
I adjust the robe on my lap to completely cover my legs and lap.
The door opens a few seconds later, Gigi walking in.
I smile at her, not wanting to worry her.
I do not miss the look of pity in her eyes as they glance down at my now bandaged arm, the medic moving to my other arm.
"I am okay, it is just a few scratches" I try to lighten the situation
Wesley scoffs at this as he leans back in one of the booth seats.
"Sorry for the delay, I was handling things with the drama queen," she rolls her eyes
I assume that she is referring to Hunter.
Gigi makes her way further into my trailer until she is standing beside the door.
"Oh! I also came in here to give you some feedback," she says
She glances down at her clipboard in her hand upon this realization.
"I personally think that your acting is really natural, especially next to a professional such as McKenna who has been doing this for over a decade," she seems to be reading off of the paper
"I think that the two of you had amazing chemistry in that scene albeit there being bits and pieces where the two of you are obviously uncomfortable with each other,"

I nod my head at her although she cannot see me.
"My only critique is that you should do some more research on your character and lean into it because at some moments I felt like the two of you were truly forbidden lovers, but at other moments I thought that the two of you were practically strangers forced into the same room together" she informs me
I nod my head, verbalizing my agreement this time around.
"Great! Just come back onto set once you're done getting all wrapped up, we want to refilm that scene a few times to just to be safe" Gigi tells me before exiting
There is a deafening silence in my trailer again.
Well...that is until the medic exits said trailer.
"Gigi's right, you know" Wesley comments
I turn to face the blonde haired boy as he makes his way towards me.
"What?" I ask with genuine confusion
As the blonde approaches me he takes a seat beside me on the couch.
"You and McKenna's chemistry, there's something there but it's hidden behind your distaste for each other" he explains
I silently stare at the blonde for a few moments before bursting into stomach aching laughter.
"McKenna and I's chemistry?!" I continue to laugh
"McKenna and I do not have chemistry,"
Wesley's facial expression reflects that of confusion as I continue to laugh like I have just been told the funniest joke in my life, which I kind of have been.
"We hate each other, we were acting." I assure him
Wesley shrugs before he stands up from the couch.
"You know I'm right Delaney"
I stop laughing at this sentence.
"Do you seriously believe that you are right?" I ask him
The blonde nods his head.
I slowly stand up from my spot on the couch, setting the robe down in the spot where I was previously sitting.
"Okay," I cross my arms
Due to our height difference I have to slightly look up at him to look him in the eyes.
"If you honestly believe this delusion that Hunt- McKenna and I have chemistry then maybe you would not mind betting on it?" I suggest
The blonde haired boy smirks with amusement at my suggestion.
"Now you're talking my language" he nods his head
I raise an eyebrow at him.
"Do you have anything in mind?" I question
Wesley takes a moment to think about this, eventually coming up with something.
"By the time filming for this movie is over with I predict that the two of you either will be dating or would have already dated" he voices
I nod my head at this.
"That is fair," I reply
"I predict that her and I will continue to hate each other and avoid each other for the rest of our lives" I shrug
Wesley rolls his eyes at me.
I assume that he thinks that I am crazy.
"If that happens then you get to go through my phone and post whatever you want to my social media"
I immediately become excited at this offer.
Yes!
"And if your version happens then I promise to take you on a no limit shopping spree"
I hold my hand out for him to shake.
"You have a deal Princess Elaine!" he instantly shakes my hand
I laugh at his eagerness.
