Define love. || Young Leonardo Dicaprio

Chapter 5

What is that noise?

Marissa must be up and vacuuming the hallways. I sat up feeling an arm around me. I looked down to see Leo fast asleep, his chest gracefully rising and falling. Should I wake him up? Nah

I slowly lifted his arm from around me and searched the bed for my phone. Once I found it I turned my screen on and shrieked

"OH. MY. GOD" I scrambled to get up causing Leo to wake up. We had to be at the reading in 15min. He stretched rubbing his eyes. I guess he didn't know what time it was

"Whats-" he tapped my screen and widen his eyes "shit"

"I can't believe we're gonna be late!" I ran into my room to grab my bag and shoes and headed down stairs. Both me and Leo grabbed our keys and headed towards our cars. Great Leo was parked behind me.

"Hey where are you going?" He yelled out causing me to pause half way getting into the car

"Let's just go together it'll save time" I rolled my eyes and ran to his car. Hopping in and then him speeding out off our driveway. The car ride was quiet. Not even the radio was turned on. We both looked at each other both thinking the same thing. We fell asleep together earlier. Shocking. I think we were both taken back with what happened but I guess it was good thing that we were able to do such a thing given the circumstances.

We arrived at the location just as I pulled down the sun shields to look at my appearance. I need a retouch and bad, I frowned. Leo parked up and headed out, him turning around when he realised I wasn't following him. I looked at him while grabbing my brush to brush out my hair. He ran to the car opened my door

"Ummm McKenna we gotta go, we have 1minute to be there"

"I have to look presentable Leo I'll be there in a second"

"It's just a table read it's nothing formal" with that he shrugged then closed the car door and headed inside.

After a couple of minutes I was ready, brushing through my hair with my fingers then heading into the white building myself. Luckily it was the first door as soon as you walk through the entrance. I glanced at the sign saying reading for Romeo and Juliet and I sighed. This is it

I walked in. Face palming myself mentally as they have already started. I looked around the room watching everyone's face lift and then looking to the front of the room where my dad and Leo was seated. Leo raised an eyebrow

"Good of you to join us McKenna" my dad smiled and nodded. Don't be fooled though, if my dad didn't have to pretend he wasn't my dad than he'd probably be on my back for being late.

"Sorry I'm late me and Leo..." I blurted, Leo sat there biting his lip trying not to send out a chuckle. My dad on the other hand raised his eyebrows clearly not amused

"You can just go sit next Paul" Leo directed and winked. I sighed as I looked around the room. Paul already staring in my direction and waving

"Hey I'm Paul, you're knight in shining armour" he joked, I just smiled already flustered as I tried to bring everything out of my bag. My book. Where is my script. No. No. No. I scanned the room everyone seemed to have theirs. I think I could cry at that moment.

"Ok everyone, let's get back to it. If you're not aware this is our leading lady, Juliet. McKenna Rae Roberts" some smiles and some just wasn't that phased. What a great first impression

My dad nodded at me with a small smile then gestures to what seems to be the guy playing Tybalt. Everyone had there scripts in there hands besides me. Can I remember my lines? I'm going to have to at this rate
