Someone Like You

Overwhelmed

"Hmm..." Samantha looked down with her arms folded. "You not gonna tell your mom?" She shrugged "Tell her what?" she asked. "That you were drinking—"she cut him off "Of course not. I mean I only had a couple of sips and if she found that out, she would immediately assume that I'd relapse and completely overreact" she told him. "You did relapse Liv.." he trailed off. "No... You don't understand, I'm not an alcoholic" she told him. "You were drinking, and now you're lying about it, that is—" she cut him off " I had a one time slip up, I-I had a rough day. And I was...nervous about telling you that I love you" he sighed silently before looking down. " look I made a mistake but it will be a lot easier to work through with my sponsor without my family treating it like a national emergency" he looked up at her. "So you are gonna tell your sponsor?" She lied "Yeah..um i'm gonna call her right now" she was about to walk past him but stopped. She sighed "Obviously... This is not how I hoped tonight would it go. But everything that I said..." she held her hands "and how I feel about you.. I just want to be clear" she kissed him passionately. The kiss was definitely real for them. She slowly pulled away before saying "None of that changed" she placed her hand on his chest. "And cut!" The director yelled out. "Daniel can we.." she trailed off with him walking away making her realize how much she hurt him.

It was overwhelming enough to have to sit 2 hours for hair and makeup and with Daniel ignoring her, it made things worse. "Sam you good?" Michael noticed something was off with her with this being the third time they had to redo the scene. He stood in the entrance way of where Sam would have Olivia walk in to surprise Daniel aka Spencer. "Yeah.. just tired I guess" she mumbled. "Let's get it right this time Sam, ready set action!" They jumped into character. She opened the door and slowly walked in with Daniel looking over his shoulder. He slowly walked up to her meeting her halfway. "Hey.." he said with her saying it back. They stared at each other for a long time before Asjha aka Kia realized she was interrupting. "You know what.. I'm just gonna go do-um whatever .. in the back, so..." she walked to the back smiling. "Uh sorry I didn't respond to your text earlier.. I didn't mean uh.. leave you in some three our rant all day" she told him. "It's all good—" she cut him off " it's not... But... I'm going to fix it" she pulled out her phone while he stared at her. Seconds later his phone vibrated which confused him a little with him taking out his phone to check it. She was smiling a little at him while he slowly looked up stalling. " oh, you're gonna make me wait" she said. "Hell yeah..." he smiled. "Okay.." she smiled as she put her phone in her purse. "Yeah.." he trailed "let's go." The directors squeezed in episodes 8 and 9 together in one day. It was a very long day especially for Daniel and Samantha. They were not on speaking terms because he was upset with her still. He felt like it was unnecessary to continue a relationship where she wasn't happy to the point where he had to damn near fight the guy which could've gotten him into trouble.

"—I understand why you're upset but I didn't do anything" she said. "Didn't do anything, are you serious?" Samantha and Greta were shooting their scene in the cafe. "Spencer told me he loved me I didn't tell him to say that" she defended herself. "Uh right and the um, lying to me for months while Spencer made a fool out of me what was that?" Daniel walked over to watch them shoot the scene standing next to the director. "Spencer genuinely cares for you Layla, that wasn't a lie" she told her. "So cares for me but loves you?" She had her arms crossed "I'm over it, I refuse to be a cliché standing around fighting over a boy" she walked passed Samantha before she made a confused expression, turning around " I mean it's not like you and Spencer were even together at the time—" Greta cut her off "You want to argue technicalities? You don't get it it's not about Spencer or Asher or any of my exes you want to go for, it's about loyalty, okay? And the fact is you suck as a friend" she said. "Layla you wouldn't know loyalty if it had a price tag because you don't value anyone or anything once it gets in the way of what you want—" Greta cut her off "that's not true..." she trailed. "Really? Because when Spencer first got to Beverly you intentionally got him drunk and almost ruined his football dreams. And then you tried to get me to hook up with him until you realized you wanted him for yourself and then suddenly my feelings didn't matter anymore, and despite all of that, at your lowest point, when you were battling your depression, unlike you, who, if I remember correctly, told me that you didn't even realize that my addiction was "that bad" after from when I got back from rehab last year... I mean, what kind of friend is that?" Daniel was amazed. Though he was upset with her, she killed that scene in his opinion. Something seemed off with her since they haven't spoken since his scuffle. "Sam you good?" He whispered for only her to hear when they were seated in the car ready to shoot her love confession. "Yeah.. I'm good" he looked over at her knowing she was lying. "Ready set action!" They jumped into character. Sam was pretending to be driving with him looking out the window and her anxiously thinking. " so I was thinking, you know how we're always telling people that we're not together and... How there's nothing there between us?" He was looking over at her " yeah..." she looked over at him before looking forward taking a deep breath. "Well... what if there was something?" He looked forward smiling before looking down. " Liv, I already told you how I felt in Vegas, and you ran away" she looked over at him before looking forward quickly as she was nervous to tell him how she felt. " I don't know if it was because you didn't feel the same or you were scared—" she cut him off " it's definitely not the former..." he looked at her "Hey, just say what you're trying to say" she looked at him before looking forward. She sighed " it was just... Like, a lot... A lot going on at the time..." she shook her head as she was struggling to express her feelings. " but that was then... and right here, right now.. I have never been more certain about my feelings for you..." she shook her head before looking over at him as her voice cracked. He looked at her stunned. She looked forward as she continued " feelings that I've had since you first came to Beverly. And gotten deeper since" she looked over at him who was staring at her. She looked forward "and yeah.. us being together may not be... The most popular choice.. but I mean we can't worry about all of that" she looked over at him before looking forward. " all we can worry about is us, this..." she struggled for a long second before saying "I love you too, Spencer" she slowly looked over at him who looked away with a smile and tears in his eyes. He then looked at her hand that was on the steering wheel, taking it off so that they can intertwine their fingers. She took a silently deep breath as she looked at their hands with tears welling up in her eyes. "Why the hell are you still driving?" She laughed. "Pull this car over girl, I ain't waiting another second for this" she continued to smile with him looking over at her with a grin. She then looked over at him with a smile.  "And cut!! We're going to take a 15 minute break."

Samantha was in her trailer fidgeting with the prescription. She poured two pills in her palm. She tried to ignore the knocking on her door. The knocking stopped after two times before Michael came walking in. He knew something was off with her as he walked up to her. "Sam? ... is that Anti Depression pills?" He watched Sam shut her eyes. "I have to shoot the toughest scene of my career and I'm not sure if I'm ready for it" she told him. "So much is on my mind and I just don't like feeling like this...but I know it's me also having to get into character" she opened her eyes with tears welled up. Michael took the pills from her. "Filming scene's like this is hard. They are challenging but I know you are going to do amazing. Give it your all and don't hold back Sam." The directors thought filming the scene between her and Daniel would be perfect then filming her breaking down in the car. "Just say what you need..." she shut her eyes "I wanna go home" she whispered. " just don't know how I'm going to face them after everything I put them through. not alone... Can you come with me?" She took a step forward towards him "Please, I need you to come with me. Please?" He slowly shook his head "I can't. You got a take this next step alone" he told her. "Spencer, I came here because I can't do it alone. You said you loved me, and now... What, you're just done with me?" She shook her head as this was an emotional scene for the both of them. "I'm not done with you, I'm trying to help you—" she cut him off " funny because it doesn't feel like that." Daniel started to raise his voice a little "Where was your love for me when you drove us drunk? When you asked me to put my life on the line with the cops? Where was your love for me then?" She slowly started to choke up with him taking a step forward "Your addiction has got such a hold on you, you're not thinking about nobody else, not even yourself. Be strong enough to fight this, Liv. You're strong enough to go home and face your family. I believe that. But it don't mean nothing if you don't believe it for yourself" she was crying. " God..." she sniffled. " i'm so sorry. I can't believe I did that to you..." she sniffed again. " you deserve so much better." She slowly turned around with him trying not to cry "are you gonna be okay?" She stopped at the door and turned around. "I have people waiting for me to come back... and I know it's my fault that you're not still one of them" he was staring at her trying his hardest not to cry. "I'm sorry" she turned and opened the door, walking out. The moment the door closed the director was about to yell cut but Daniel couldn't keep it together. Unscripted, he broke down. He looked down before looking up with a single tear falling. He nodded before turning and wiping his face. The scenes that they were filming felt so real to them. They were personal and it was perfect timing for her to film her breakdown scene. Most of the cast were sticking around to watch. "And action!" Daniel inhaled deeply not wanting to see her cry again. They played the recording of Taye Diggs's voice. She was in character as she slowly transitioned. She thought about everything that has broke her in the past and present. It hit her all at once. She tucked her lips in trying not to cry as her body started trembling before she broke down in tears. She gave them more than what they asked. She was letting it all out. She broke down to the point where she had a crucifying headache. They were finally done filming for the day and she left before anybody could say anything to her. "Sam bodies that episode" Michael said. "Where she go?" Geffri asked. "Probably to lay down, you see the way she was crying? She's probably overwhelmed with a massive headache. Whatever she was going through she let it all out" Michael said with Daniel thinking about her.

Samantha was laying down with a massive headache before she stood up when she heard a knock. She opened the door and opened it. "Hey" he said to her. "Hi.." she turned around and walked back to the couch and laid down. He closed the door and walked closer. "I got you Ibuprofen and water.. not romantic but I just knew you would have a terrible headache from giving your all in that last scene you shot. You've been crying all day and it's time to cheer you up" he walked over to her with her sitting up a little. He sat down and popped the cap pouring two pills out before handing it to her "thanks..." she mumbled. "You're welcome" she tossed them in her mouth before leaning her head back, swallowing them. She untwisted the cap of her water bottle before drinking some. "Hopefully this will make you feel better" he told her. She placed her bottle down on the floor before sitting back. "So Alec—" she cut him off "we broke up" she told him. "Y'all did?" He was very impressed because he didn't know that since he's been avoiding her. "You'd know that if you weren't avoiding me..." it was the best news he heard all day. "My bad.. just was mad" he was honest with her. "I forgive you but.. Daniel I need to tell you something........"
