(Phone alarm rings)
Today is a new day and yet for some reason the shrilling sound of my alarm ringing wasn't able to annoy the beating heart of my inhabitor's ghost into hiding. In fact I feel a lot heavier and suffocated in my chest as today will be the farewell party for all the people that were involved in the making of our small short series.
"Drowning in his moonlight".
Will I ever be free from the shackles of a life I once borrowed?
Ignoring the ache in my chest I turn off my alarm and head for my bathroom to freshen up. After today Jackson and I will never meet again. Yes, perhaps in the future we will meet to promote the series or one of the brands that was sponsored in our short story but that doesn't mean we will have any private time together since these events are quick and short and nowadays an online live event is favoured by most companies as it is cheaper . Also there is literally only two of the sponsored brands which are both tech companies and thus we don't really need to host events but just a live with the fans can also suffice.This however is good for me, I need to stay away from him as much as I can. I don't think I love him like that. Eden is the one that loves Zack..Eden loves Zack.. not me.
"Good morning grumpy" just then Nelly greets me as she walks into the kitchen area . She looks like frankienstine.I don't know about other people but she has a tendency of sleeping with her hair unwashed thus leaving her pillow to explore its artistry by putting her hair in all directions and leaving her looking like she was just run over by a truck .I have currently just finished making tea for myself as I am not a big fan of coffee, no matter how it kinds of smells good.I still don't like it, it gives me a headache and unfortunately because of my dislike for coffee I am labelled as a weird adult by my sisters but I don't care, I have always been labelled as weird. When I was in high school some kids used to even say that if I was in the olden days I would have been a princess simply because I take care of myself and I am also known as a beautiful man.
Being known as a beautiful man is honestly not an insult to me, I do admit I have the power to make Gods bow... okay fine, only those in my head but I accept that the creators thanks to my parents genes had a lot of inspiration and I will forever be gratefull that they took their time to take only what was earthly and royal from my parents DNA to create the specimen that is me.
"Earth to someone!" just then I shake my head a little causing my dark silky shoulder length hair to fall covering my face on both sides and I let it rest there before finally dragging my attention back to my sister.It will be the first time I keep my hair in this state ever since I started shooting as it was always in a neat do of some sort or perfect hair style that was done according to Eden's lifestyle.
"When are you leaving.." I say to Nelly as soon as my mind reaches the ground where we are.
"Wow..thank you is soo hard to come out of that mouth of yours isn't it? If Ethan was not your friend, I wonder who would have casted your rude ass and to think I was worried about you falling into a deep depression ." she hisses through gritted teeth.
"Okay fine calm down Magnolia I was kind of joking. I appreciate the company but only for today though tonight I am back to my old life again." I respond while patting her shoulder awkwardly to try calm her down.
" Are you going back to the company?" She suddenly asks excitedly.
" Yes, but not immediately. My last series was by luck, no one will want an old guy in this new world where there are soo many young beautiful and handsome people who will definately play better than me so instead of wasting my last hours on earth casting for shows I will never get accepted for it is best I work and start saving for my funeral" I answer back sombrely.
"You have enough money in your bank to not work until you are dead. You literally won a government case that got you millions . You went acting because it Is your passion, but your profession is law. You are a young prodigie who is by the way a brilliant lawyer and it would be cool to have you back, but if you do find another project then that is also cool." she says while she hurridly takes a gulp of tap water before walking towards the bathroom.
Yes my country has the cleanest water in the whole world ...she won't die.
Nelly dissappearing once again pulls me back into my brain limbo...I understand the laws of the entertainment industry, well not as much as international law but I know if you need to keep on going then you have to double the risk or do things that are out of your comfort zone, 'professionally' but I don't want to get into a drama or series where I have to end up swallowing another persons face. Then what?.. how do they look at each other afterwards..I only got a kiss on the cheek and yet here I am left with crumbs of feelings I don't know how to get rid of. So in short .
I'll pass .
I put my dirty tea cup in the dishwasher and just as I am about to leave the kitchen Lizzy comes storming in . "Am I late for the morning gossip?.'She says as she looks around the fridge and eventually decides on pineapple juice. She takes out the carton, pours herself a bit in a glass tastes it and drinks the rest from the carton.I stare at her defeated - but this is Lizzy, her character is as unpredictable as her boyfriends.
"I am going to shower. That is all you missed." I say with a straight face.
"Okaykay, I will not torture you with interrogations this morning, are you going out tonight..I was thinking-"
"Yes, Ethan texted us the address to the restaurant where we will go to host our farewell party. I do not suppose I will see you again until sometime next week before I leave." I answer her plainly before she could try to suggest trying to hang around me again. Don't get me wrong, I love my sisters but maximum sleepovers in my house is two days. I don't feel like I want another night with people, I honestly just want to be left alone for a while.
"You are leaving? where are you going ?will you be in the next town, city, country?..how long will you be gone ..or you mean like gone gone..Oh my god!..are going to?..are you that hurt over loosing him!?.."
"Lizzy!..No..what?.. I am just going on vacation. I don't know which country but I will see how long I will be gone depending on our schedule. but maximum one month I think.Think of it as me taking a break ."
"Vacation my ass, I know you are running away from all this familiar surroundings..but it is cool. Got to forget , one way or another." She says with a light smile tainted on her little cute face.
I want to pinch the smug out of it, cuteness agression is not a crime unless someone dies.
"Yes. Yes. Move on. I will move on."
I give her a gentle pat on the head and head out of the kitchen, I need to meet with Ethan and Jackson before we go the farewell dinner, it is a casual meeting but we still have to be told how to act in order to avoid certain controversies during the farewell dinner.
It is going to be a long day ..
