"...She's what now?" I say
"The women behind the masterpiece" Ramon says
"Lauren this is your movie?" I say
"Yeah" She says
"About your psychopath ex and how she stole your dream.. and tried to kill your best friend?!" I say
"Y/n I-" she starts to say
"You're absolutely unbelievable" I say
"Wait what's happening here.." Ramon says
"So you're the one I've been talking to" I say
"Yeah... Y/n I didn't know about-" she says
"And if you had would you have acted different?" I say
"... That night I got mad at you, did he show up?" She says
"Wait are you two-" Ramon starts
"I'm sorry Ramon but I can't do this" I say
"Y/n please wait!" She says
"Please don't act like you care now" I say
"You never gave me a chance to care Y/n, if I had known I wouldn't have reacted the way I did!" she says
"WHAT IS GOING ON!" Ramon yells
"...I'm the psychopath ex in Laurens true story" I say
"You're what now?" He says
"Isn't That right Lauren? I ruined your life and tried to kill Sam? Right?" I say
"..Ok I might have embellished a little" she says
"You made me into some crazy bitch who doesn't give a fuck about anything or anyone.... How could you do that?" I say
"I was angry Y/n" she says
"Ok ladies I don't have time for this, casting starts now so save the drama for later. Okay?" Ramon says pushing us into the casting room

"That was amazing Kimberly!" Lauren says as the first girl auditions
"Yeah we'll be in touch" I smile
"Next!" Ramon yells
"Hi I'm-" a girl starts
"Oh wow you're a spitting image" Ramon interrupts her
"I'm sorry?" The girl asks
"Dude you're right, she looks just like her" Lauren says
"Just like who?" The girl asks prompting both Lauren and Ramon to look my direction
"Yeah this isn't gonna work out, maybe next time" I smile at the girl as she opens the door
"Y/n!" Ramon says
"What? I didn't like her" He says
"Call her back in!" Ramon says
"Is there something wrong?" The girl says
"No sweetie, please ignore our rude director" Ramon says
"Let's read from the beginning" Lauren says
Then they read, almost perfectly, it was like this girl was my clone.
"That was perfect" Ramon smiles
"It was really good" Lauren smiles at her. "And you're name is Jackie?"
"Yes" The girl smiles
"Great! We will contact you ASAP" Lauren smiles
"Thank you" Jackie smiles back
"You two can't seriously be serious right?" I say
"She was good Y/n, and she kinda looks like you" Lauren says
"Don't you think people will get suspicious when the lead role gets cast as My lookalike?" I say
"Good thinking" Ramon says. "We'll keep Jackie on the Maybe list, Next!"

"Ok good but, I don't think I'm feeling the emotion from you in this scene" Lauren says
"Sorry, I'm just really nervous" the girl says
"It's fine, this scenes a joke anyways" I say sitting back in my chair with my feet on the table
"Put your feet down, aren't you supposed to be a professional?!" Ramon says
"Isn't this movie supposed to be a true?!" I say
"Y/n just get over it already, damn" Lauren says
"Get over it?! You just read a scene where I kidnap your best friend and try to stab you in the heart?!" I say
"So?" She says
"That never happened?!" I say
"It's a metaphor, you tried to stab my heart but, I prevailed" she says
"Maybe You should leave" Ramon says directly the girl out of the room
"All I did was forget one night?! Why punish me for that?" I say
"I can't understand why you would forget that night. We had been talking about it forever" she says
"But why torture me for 5 years?!" I say
"-Because I was going to propose" she says
"What?" I say eyes wide open
"What?" Ramon says
"That night was the anniversary of us meeting for the first time, I had the biggest show of my life and, I was in love. So, I secretly invited all our friends and your parents so I could propose" she says sounding like she wanted to cry
"...It wasn't our anniversary" I say
"The anniversary of the day we first met, when we had that one conversation then ended up hanging out for the entire day" she says
"Oh yeah" I say. "That's was a good day"
"A day you forgot" she says
"Lauren" I say
"You had been forgetting a lot of things leading up to that. We weren't talking like we used to and I think I just had enough. At one point I even thought you were cheating on me" she says
"Yeah this definitely feels like a not me conversation..." Ramon awkwardly says
"Cheating?" I say
"Yeah with that girl you did a play with, Dani" she laughs
"Dani was straight" I say
"No she wasn't, she was totally in to you" she laughs
"I would've never cheated on you" I say. "I am sorry about how I started acting though. The whole college thing was eating at me and I guess I took it out on you" I say
"It's ok" she says
"... but, you're extra as fuck for that day we met anniversary" I say
