Behind The Scenes

Five

Chapter Five

I went to bed thinking about everything. I was annoyed, sad, and happy at the same time...talk about mixed emotions. I had recently figured out why Joe and I were getting along better. I didn't want to admit it at all to myself. It was really disturbing and I kept denying it. Maybe I wasn't thinking straight...yeah, maybe that's it. I'm worried about almost everything, the kiss, the new script, and the fact the Joe really has nothing to keep him happy since Taylor's gone.

I sighed and shook my head sitting up my bed. I wasn't going to let ths ruin my day. Then I realized that tomorrow will be the kissing scene and it's literally scaring the living hell out of me. I got ready and walked to the set for the two scenes that I'm going to shoot with Joe today. I tried to keep everything out of my mind and focus on my lines. I stuttered a little bit making Mr. D cut it out almost ten times. I sighed knowing that I'm going nowhere, so I decided to confront Joe about it.

Mr. D gave us a five minute break so I could get my lines straight. I was about to talk to Joe when he called me over. "Demi, are you okay? I know you hate Joe and all that, but you're a way better actress than you're showing me right now."

I hesitated, but I wanted to tell someone so bad. "Well, it's because-" He interrupted me with some surprising news.

He sighed. "Demi, If this is about that kiss, don't worry about it. Since the writers are perfectly knowledgable about you and Joe's relationship, we're moving the kiss as your last scene." I smiled at him.

"Thank you so much!" I hugged him as he chuckled.

"Great, now get yourself together and face that camera." I nodded, atleast now I've got less weight on my shoulders.

"I'm still an idiot." I heard Nick say as Joe passed by.

"I stil agree." Joe laughed, Nick does as the script said and was close to punching Joe. I giggled slightly, but of course they won't see that. "Dude, you can't keep hitting me!" Joe defended.

Me giggling helped me at my scene as Mr. D cued me. I ran and jumped on Joe's back landing on the safety cushion. "Thanks Mitchie." I heard Nick say as I continued laughing.

"Cut!" Mr. D said as I stood up and the workers took the bolster. "Action!"

"I had absolutely the best day ever!" I said, enthused. Joe smiled at me as I continued on with my line "Everything's finally starting to work out."

"Great...it's all because of you." He said making me flash a tangible broad smile.

"No, it's because of us."

"Now that everybody's got your time, I'm gonna demand some of my own." He said looking me in the eyes and I knew that he truly meant that. Awesome...now the butterflies are kicking in.

"It hasn't been that bad." I said standing up as he did the same.

"The whole reason I'm here...the reason that my brothers are here...is so I can get to know you better." Joe flashed me grin, an iresistable one. He looked at me in the eyes while saying that line, again I state, he's meaning everything he's saying. Does he really want to spend time with me? Does he really want to know be better? Or is he really that good of an actor? "It's only been like two seconds." Truthfully, that's how I feel. I feel like it's only been two seconds since we've talked to each other in a real and calm conversation.

"And that is the sweetest thing that anybody has ever said to me." I said tugging on his flannel saying my lines thoughtfully. I took in a deep breath making it obvious for the viewers that I was about to say something else.

"But..." He said making me continue.

"But-" I smiled my huge signature grin as a voice from the surrounding megaphones came on.

"And now from your friendly negihborhood announcer, will the counselors scheduled for the bonfire please report to the mess hall."

"But you gotta go." Joe said completing my sentence.

"But we gotta go." I said still smiling. I turned and walked, but stopped when I noticed he didn't move. "Are you coming?"

"No, it's cool. I'll catch up."

"Shane..." I started putting on a worried expression.

"Go they need you." He urged me to continue walking as my smile returned.

"Okay." I said in a breath. I waved goodbye, and walked away.

"Cut!" Mr. D said. I nodded and smiled walking back to my cabin. I shook my head and ran knowing that Joe will catch up to me. I'm really not in the mood to talk to him right now.
