Chapter 8
The next day I woke up and did my morning ritual.
I wore a black tank top, and blue jeans, and a white and brown striped cardigan. I put my hair into a loose dutch braid and slipped on some boots.
I quickly drove to the set and when I got there, I noticed Travis slumping in his seat, two cups off coffee in he table beside him.
"What's wrong with you?"
"That dumb trick you pulled yesterday"
I laughed and started crying I was laughing so hard.
"Shut up!" He growled, "just drink your coffee" he took his own cup and drank it. I stopped laughing and drank my coffee. I immediately spit it out.
"What the heck?!"
"Oh, I added a shot of vodka in there" he smirked. I dumped the drink on him and marched away.
"Places people! We need to start filming now! Maria and Jason get to makeup!"
We sighed as the director barked orders. I immediately dreaded what scene we were doing.
I sat in the chair and let them attack me with various beauty supplies. They did my make up to make me a half demon. They attached big black wings and I went into place.
I curled up into a small ball, crying into my hands.
"Maria..." Travis got into place, reciting the lines given to him. "Tell me what that was"
"Jason....I...." My voice was broken, and I tried to sound like I was on the verge of tears. "I don't know if I should tell you" I lowered my head. Travis took my chin and gently made me look into his eyes.
"Tell me"
I moved out of his grasp, turning around to look away..
"Don't you get it?! I'm a freak, a demon. I'm a monster"
"And do you think I give a da-"
"I don't care what you think or what you think I think! I can't risk another person getting hurt because of me, Jason!"
"Maria I love you, I love you damn it! And I'm not going to give up on you because of one minor flaw"
Just like my audition, his words felt far more passionate than acting. A kind of passion that is almost impossible to master
"It's not just one minor flaw I turn into a monster! I could kill you!"
"And I don't care, I'm here for you" he whispered, taking my cheek in his hand. He looked into my eyes, the sincerity unmistakable.
He's just really good at acting.
"Jason-"
"Don't talk, Maria, just let this moment be..."
"Jason, I....I think I'm....CUT!" I yelled as our faces neared.
"What is it Miss. Blackwood?" The director sighed.
"I..uh...I-"
"She doesn't wanna kiss me, in fear she'll fall in love"
I elbowed Travis as hard as I could and walked over to the director, whispering in his ear.
"Lady problems"
He blushed out of embarrassment and shooed me away. I locked myself in the bathroom, leaning against the door and trying to gather my sanity. At least I bought myself some time. I pulled out my phone and clicked Aphmau's contact.
K: HALP
A: Hello to u too, wassup?
K: DONT BE SO CASUAL, WE'RE DOING THE KILLING SCENE
A: ???
K: KISSING**
A: Oooooooh
K: HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALP
A: Can't it wait, I'm hanging with Garroth

K: No, cause I'll be here tmrw
A: Someone got in a car accident and needed you to drive them to the hospital
K: STOP BEING MORBID
a: Technically, I wasn't being very morbid for the last one
K: I don't care!!!!
A: Do you have feelings for Trav? ;)
K: EW, NO
A: Then what's the big deal? I'll tell you, there is none. Just kiss and get it over with!
K: Ugh! Fine, I hate you.
A: Luv u too, bouy
I rolled my eyes and walked out of the bathroom.
"Finally, places people!"
We started where we left off.
"Jason, I....I think-"
"Shhh, let this happen. I love you, Katelyn"
"CUT" the director yelled, but I barely heard him over the insanely loud heartbeat that pounded against my chest. "That's lunch, we'll pick this up in an hour"
Travis' gaze turned from loving to cold, and he stepped away from me, dropping the hand that was resting previously on my cheek.
Sheesh, I get that I played dirty but does he have to be so upset about it?
I tried to regain my senses, but all I could think about was the scene that had just played.
"Shhh, let this happen. I love you, Katelyn"
I felt my cheeks burn as my body remained frozen in spot.
I grew angry, and balled my fists. By now, Travis was out back eating by himself. I clenched my jaw, marching out back.
"What is wrong with you!?" I yelled, stomping up to him.
"What do you mean?" His voice was emotionless.
"So I played one joke on you, and now you're all pouty?! Get over it!"
Travis stood up abruptly, walking over to me. He grabbed my shoulders and pulled my lips on his. For a second, I stood there shell-shocked, but soon I melted into his touch and kissed back.
"You wanna know why I'm so angry and distant?! It's you! Everyday I just grow more and more passionate towards you! I want nothing but your smile! Your laugh! Your secret nothings, and your obvious everythings! I rush to work to see you, I buy coffee to buy any time I can with you, I can't eat or sleep normally, you're the midnight thoughts and the drunken pain, you're the reason I'm suffering, and I wouldn't change it for the world!" He breathed. I couldn't find words, I couldn't even move. "And I'm angry, because all those things are for Jeffery. He gets to see you smile everyday, he gets to hold you without getting hit. I'm jealous of him, that he gets to be the one to make you smile. He's your everything. He's everything I want to be. And he doesn't even realise how good he has it, and he doesn't understand what it is that makes you perfect. He doesn't deserve those things, and neither do I. He can't see the real beauty about you. And it pains me that you're with someone who can't see the true amazement you keep hidden behind those eyes."
"Places!" The directors voice was heard.
Surely it hasn't been an hour, how long had I been frozen?
We separated, not saying another word.
"Shhh, let this happen. I love you, Maria"
"I love you too"
He lifted my head ever so slightly, slowly our lips connected. This kiss was far more different than the one just a few minutes ago. The one from before was fiery and spontaneous, this one was slow and loving. His words from earlier poured out in this kiss.
I love you too
A/N Like I said, this book isn't going to be a long one. I'm thinking maybe fifteen chapters, maybe twenty. But yeah! So Travis confessed and Katelyn was stunned. I love this chapter, I love you all devils. Byeeee.
