Chapter Thirty-One

Timothee woke up with a bad feeling the next day. It was like there was something that was lying heavy on her chest, making it harder for her to breathe. But of course, even when that was the case, there were still things that were needed to be done. She was still an actress trying to prove that she was worthy to be part and to stay in the industry. She just told herself that the start of her 2-day rest days would finally be tomorrow, and she could finally enjoy Siargao without having to think about things just yet. She was adamant to treat life that way. Sure, things were in no way easy, but it was important to enjoy the fact that she was alive from time to time. Life wasn't just all about work. Rory had even told her that she already had plans for the both of them which really made her feel excited. It really seemed like the two of them were long-time friends already because the girl had been treating her in that way. Sometimes

Chapter Thirty-Two

“May I speak with you?” she asked Raphael with a commanding tone in her voice. She could already feel her body shaking from anger, shame, everything. There was just a part of her that was telling herself to act as calm as possible because people were literally watching them, and she couldn’t have them thinking that there was something going on. She wouldn’t be able to know what to do if someone would spread rumors that they kept on bickering for whatever reasons. It was risky, especially when behind-the-scenes cuts literally existed. The guy had a straight look on his face. She couldn’t read what he was thinking, but she was way too pissed to even care about it. What she wanted was for the both of them to talk. Luckily, the guy didn’t have any other scene to be shot except for that break-up scene so she could just ask him to give her a few minut

Chapter Thirty-Three

"If you can't do it today, Timothee, then it's best for you to just take a break. We don't want someone who couldn't give out her best here." When she heard that, it was like her mind went blank. Her jaw dropped as she felt her chest tightening. There was some ringing in her ears alongside the hard beating of her heart. She couldn't even hear other people talking because it seemed like she was sent somewhere faraway, in a place where she could feel the emotions in her chest so much that it hurt already.Everyone, including the actors and actresses on standby, was already looking at her already, and at that very moment, she felt so small. "Do you understand me, Timothee? Don't show up here if you aren't ready. You'll only mess the set up," the director said once again. There was a hint of adamance in his voice that m

Chapter Thirty-Four

“You can just leave me, Theresse. I would be fine with that. Maybe they’d need you there. I think Ill just roam around as far as I can go since I can find my way back easily,” she said as she was walking farther and farther from the location of the set. After all the crying, she really just wanted to be away. She didn’t want to go back to the rest house because the environment would only make her think about what she just did.However, even after she said that, her personal assistant was still following her. “I certainly cannot do that, Miss. I am your personal assistant It is my job to attend to your needs. Besides, I’m not doing this just because I am assigned to be your personal assistant. I am doing this because I recognize that you’re not okay. This is shameful to admit, but I consider you as my friend, Tim. Sure, I may just be your personal assistant, but I am willing to be there whenever you need someone anyway,&rdq

Chapter Thirty-Five

Timothee was already feeling a lot better after having a good night sleep. Although there was still a part of her that was still ashamed to go out of their room, and face people, especially after walking out. She knew that it wasn’t very professional of her to so, but she had been convincing herself that at least that was what she just did. At least she didn’t talk back, and assumed that she was the one who was in the right.As she was still lying on her bed, she remembered what Rory told her last night. She would never ever forget what the girl told her just to comfort her about what happened. “It’s fine for you to feel bad because that comes from being human, but you should also know that even with the director scolded you a while ago doesn’t make you less of an artist. You’re doing good enough, Sweetie, even the best I can argue, but know that there will always be days like that that even I still experience.”She

Chapter Thirty-Six

She still couldn’t stop feeling annoyed thinking about what just happened back at the rest house. She was already inside the car that Rory rented together with the girl and her assistant, Theresse, and Ngel. The guy wasn’t the one who was driving, though, as it was the actress who knew where they were going.In fact, she already had an idea where they were going because she was told to pack herself a bikini. Luckily, she had a number of swimsuits so it wasn’t a problem, especially when they could also be used in their actual shooting. That would be the first time that her figure would be aired on television, she was having mixed feelings about that, but would still be alright about it anyway. She was certain that they would be going in a resort. The resthouse was already inside a private resort, but Rory seemed to not want to stay there which she was glad about. It was just right for them to explore the island because for Timothee, w

Chapter Thirty-Seven

They planned on staying in that resort for those two days since it would be way more hassle if they’d go back and forth from the resthouse to the resort, especially when they were together with Ngel. Luckily, she was able to pack enough clothes to get through those days. It was also with the help of Theresse that made it possible even after feeling such roller coaster of emotions. The girl had been surely a big help to her, not just in terms of work, but also emotionally.She was glad that the management gave her the girl as her personal assistant because she couldn’t even imagine it if things were different. Even when they hadn’t been friends for long, she could already feel the emotional bond between the both of them. It must be because even when they hadn’t really that much time with each other, the girl had already seen that side of her that other people hadn’t seen.In fact, even when her life wasn’t great to begin w

Chapter Thirty-Eight

There was no word that could ever explain how better she felt after that two-day break. It was even like she had forgotten that she literally had other responsibilities, and that she wasn’t there to live an island girl life; that she was an actress with acting duties. It wasn’t that she no longer liked acting, it was just that things had been stressing her out lately, and she knew that it was because she was literally staying for work with her ex-boyfriend. It had been taking a toll on her. Besides, it was fun acting as if she was an island girl, especially when she was with three of the few people whom she trusted. They even drove Ngel back to the airport, and the guy was obviously sad with the fact that he wouldn’t see her again until the next few weeks. He even looked like he wanted to stay there, but of course, they were already adults that had to make a livi

Chapter Thirty-Nine

The information was still processing inside her mind. That was why it was like she was in a state of shock, somewhere in between denial and acceptance. She couldn’t believe what was happening, and was already convinced that the universe was playing games with her. It seemed like yesterday when she was thinking about that, about people shipping her with Raphael. Why the guy? Why not anyone else? Why not Carl? She certainly had more interactions with Carl, her co-actor, than the former. She just couldn’t understand. “What’s up with people?” she asked as she watched Theresse searching through the laptop. After knowing about the fact that people were already shipping the both of them, she was quick to ask Theresse about it, and the girl was already assisting her, wanting to show her to video clips that could possibly be the reason why.

Chapter Forty

They were trending on twitter. The series itself was also trending, but Raphael and her, specifically, were trending on Twitter. Apparently, a schoolmate of them before thought that it would be great to share a picture of them to the public. She couldn’t really remember when the picture was taken specifically, but in there, they were in the same table, eating together. She was certain that they didn’t eat together alone in school, though, since they never did that without other people. The picture was cropped, it was obvious, but of course, it would be easy for people to think that they were really eating together.When she saw that on twitter, she felt a huge desire to create a new account, and to clear things out, that they weren’t on a “date” unlike what other people were saying. Of course, that would be a dangerous thing to do. It would look like as if she was being defensive. She remembered what Rory told her. It was true that she coul
