She Accepted Divorce, He Panicked

Scarlett's POV

Dare not to get into the past of my parents, I pushed everything to the back of my head when I got out of Adrian's car and joined the shooting scene. It's not wise to hang your mind on a decade-old divorce case when you are shooting a young adult romance. The main body of my story is the memory of the main characters, so we are shooting at a school for the first two months. Adrian's alma mater was kind enough to allow the shooting of the campus, along with some classrooms and everything.

I chose it because Sebastian -- the origin of my male lead in the story -- also went here, along with Ava and me. This is where our story happened. Adrian taunted me about this choice, thinking I was making my dream of a happy ending with Sebastian come true in my movie. A girl saved by a boy, ended up getting into a sweet relationship with him before entering a happy marriage.

He was wrong.

I'm not the origin of the female lead in the movie. Ava is.

Sebastian might have saved me, but he never knew that. He thought it was Ava, and he made her the main character in his life.

I have always been the mean sister who was jealous of Ava and bullied her for getting the attention of the prince charming.

So I wanted my side of the story heard. I want the girl Sebastian saved to be with him. I want a story where she finds salvation when salvation stays and wants her. In the meantime, I want the girl who was ignored and misunderstood to say that any vicious doing she might have done was because she wanted love, too. I want the mean sister to be seen as also just another human being, who maybe, after her voice is heard, gets her own happy ending.

That was my original idea.

But after the abduction, I altered the storyline. I got greedy and I don't want to just get her voice out. I want a happy ending for her. I added an Adrian's in there. Well, not Aurora's Adrian. I added a guy who loved the mean sister for who she is, not because he thought she was a racer when she wasn't, but because she paints, and he found her anonymous piece and found her in the end.

This movie should be named: What if Sebastian Never Saved Me?

Ava wouldn't turned into a jealous devoured snake; I wouldn't have suffered ignorance for years; and Sebastian wouldn't be trapped in a marriage he didn't want.

It's an irony how the best deed in the worst story turns out to be the origin of all sins.

The school is still the same as in my memory -- until I arrive at the building lent to the shooting team.

The shooting scene, amazingly, is already a mess.

I have never been behind the curtain of the magic of a shooting team. I have always thought the shooting team was a wonder group of people because they basically built a whole new world out of reality, but it wasn't like that. The shooting team- easy to spot since every one of them carries a huge camera on their shoulders, necks, and even waists- are everywhere, some resting when some have already started shooting things I'm not sure what. Huge canvas separates the hallway out for the cameras.

Today is the most important scene in the opening: the girl recognizes her savior.

"Scarlett Knight? Over here!"

James Deep. The talented director getting more fame than any at his age. He has been dealing with my script himself this whole time, along with the casting and others. But I have only talked to him through emails.

"Yes!" I hurry over, and he nods at a seat by his side: "Take your seat. We have shot a few small scenes already. Warm-ups. You weren't with us through the casting, so today is important. If the main characters are not giving you the right feelings, you need to let me know."

"Okay!" I get a little nervous at his serious tone, also at my absence that he pointed, "Sorry about being absent for the casting, I was--"

In the abondoned building and then a hospital.

"I don't care where you were," James Deep cuts me off, "You want to be a part of giving life to your baby, then be here."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

I grip my purse, getting only more nervous around him.

"Don't worry about him," A sweet voice raised by my side. A girl bends down to comfort me with a bright smile, "Director Deep is always like that. He cares only about the work, nothing else. But know that he has nothing against you. I'm Amilia Watson, nice to meet you." But staring at the face in front of me, I can't even force out a smile -- it's Ava's face.
