Drowning || Johnny Depp

Chapter I

(Before you start reading I just want to ask you to imagine that Laura Michelle Kelly wasn't actually casted for the role of Lucy Barker - Sweeney Todd's wife, but it was the main character of this story)

I made another step and got even more mud on my boots, but I didn't care. Nothing and nobody could get the smile off my face. I finally got a job. Finally got accepted for a role. It was literally unbelievable because I've been going from an audition to an audition for the past five years and I got a part for a movie, that I barely prepared for? 

"What if Mason will be happy for me? Maybe I'll see him smile for another thing apart from having sex with me." I asked myself 

I excitedly walked up to the front door of the building we lived in and took the keys out of my pocket. As I opened the door, I stopped for a second. My heart started pounding and I doubted the fact that Mason was going to be proud of me. I remembered all moments of pain with him. Every slap, every punch, every bit of pain, that I've felt on every centimeter of my body. I got chills going down my spine and my smile disappeared. Apparently, there was somebody who could take my smile off. I swallowed nervously and started getting up the stairs.

I was standing in front of the door of our apartment, as I felt even more nervous. My breath started shaking, but I decided not to show my weakness to him. I closed my eyes, took a big breath, and relaxed. I put on a fake smile and opened the door.

Ew, I felt the smell of his cheep cigarettes. Why couldn't he at least buy some expensive ones, that won't smell like absolute shit? 

"Hey, babe." I heard him say with no emotion in his voice

"Hey!" I answered while unzipping my leather jacket and taking it off

I walked down the hall and looked into the room, where he was lying on a couch, watching TV. I rolled my eyes and went into my room. I lit an aroma candle, so I can get rid of this awful smell. After that, I took some perfume and sprayed a bit into the air. 

I stretched my arms behind my back to unhook my bra, but then a memory came up in my mind, after which I preferred to stand the bra until Mason goes to sleep. At least I changed my shirt with an oversized t-shirt. My phone buzzed and I opened it. 

"You didn't forget about tomorrow right?" the text said

A real smile spread across my face. I absolutely forgot that I was going to sleep over at my friend's house. I was gonna stay at her house for an entire week, so I better packed. I took a suitcase from behind my wardrobe and fill it with clothes and other belongings. As I was sitting on the floor packing my stuff and listening to music, I felt somebody tapping my shoulder. I jumped into the air because Mason scared the crap out of me.

"Ugh, you scared me to death." I sighed

"Where do you think you're going?" I thought that he was joking, because I mentioned that sleepover at least 10 times in the past two days and he even made fun of me for that

"Oh and I forgot to tell you. I got my first role."

"Do you start filming tomorrow?" Mason asked 

"No? Why?"

"Then where are you going?"

"I told you I was going to Danielle's."

"I'm pretty sure you didn't mention that." Mason said very seriously and his facial expression changed

"I told you and you even -" he put his massive finger on my lips

"Shhh. Are you sure you aren't cheating on me?" He said and raised his left eyebrow questionably
