Accidents Happen

Chapter 33

(Blake's P.O.V)
"Skylar?" A guy's voice says from behind us.
"Who the hell is he?" I whisper to Kayla.
"That's Ricky." She says back quietly.
"Is that the jackass she was talking about on set?" I ask and she nods quickly.
"Emery is the other one." She tells me and I nod slowly.
"Well, I don't like either one of them." I huff, looking over my shoulder to see them leaving.
"Didn't think they'd be here." Skylar says, coming back to us.
"Why not?" Kayla asks, my eyes wandering off to the two guys as they walk inside, a feeling of jealousy coursing through my body.
"I don't know. We haven't talked for almost two years. I didn't even know they were still in the singing business." Skylar says, shrugging her shoulders slightly.
"Well, let's head inside and get ready for the premiere. You know we'll have to do more interviews inside." I say, trying to pull her mind from the two knuckleheads. She nods and smiles at me, walking towards the front entrance of the building. I walk with her and Kayla follows us, a few photographers trying to get a glimpse of us through the fences. I open the door for the girls and they walk inside, Ricky and Emery just inside the door. I see Emery wink at Skylar and I glare at him, more jealousy coursing through me. What in the world is wrong with me?

(Skylar's P.O.V)
Walking into the premiere of my movie, the reality hadn't hit me quite yet, that was until I heard quite a few movie fans screaming my name.
"Hey, everyone!" I smile to them, waving at them.
"Go sign stuff for them." Claire says, walking up to me. I nod and walk over to the group, the screaming getting a little bit louder.
"Relax, let's do this in an orderly fashion and I can meet all of you. So, calm down, shh." I say, calming the crowd down the best I can.
"Much better." I giggle, starting to take photos and sign things for the fans.
"I can't believe this is happening, oh my gosh!" A girl says excitedly, covering her mouth.
"Just relax, hun, what's your name?" I ask, smiling at her as I start signing a photo from the cover shoot.
"I'm Marie." She says, sounding almost nervous.
"Well, Marie, it was lovely to meet you, thank you so very much for your support. I really appreciate it." I tell her, hugging her gently.
"Of course. I can't wait to see the movie." She says, posing for another picture with me. After I've talked to and met as many people as I could, I wave to them again and head into the theater where the movie will be screened.
"Could I please have the entire cast of the movie come to the front of the room? Thank you." The production coordinator, Mark says into his microphone. Blake, Kayla, Trent, Preston, Jacob, Jenna, Heather and I head down to the front, all of us standing together in our own group.
"I heard your ex was here." Preston teases, nudging my shoulder gently.
"Even off screen, you're like my annoying brother." I smile, nudging him back. Preston plays my brother, Damion in the movie, and he's quite the handful.
"So, what happened between you two?" Jenna asks, putting her arm on Trent's shoulders.
"Just sort of didn't work out. I don't wanna go into the details anyway. It's not worth it." I say, dismissing the topic and looking at Kayla and Blake for help.
"But we're your best friends." Trent says, sticking his bottom lip out in a pathetic pout.
"Guys, she doesn't want to talk about it. Drop it." Blake snaps, stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"Woah, grumpy alert. Chill, man." Preston says, earning a glare from Blake.
"Blake, a minute?" I ask him and he nods, following me over to the corner of the theater, the best place I could think of.
"What's wrong? You never act like this." I say, looking up at him.
"I'm sorry," He sighs, tugging at his blonde hair, something that I've learned is what he does when he's frustrated or stressed.
"Tell me what's wrong." I say, rubbing his arm gently, knowing he's trying to hide something from me.
"It's Ricky. I just, I don't know. The way he looked at you made me want to break his neck right there. I just got so jealous and I still am. I don't know, Sky." He huffs, putting his hands on the side of his head.
"Blake, hey, look at me." I say softly, pulling his hands down from his face, forcing him to look at me.
"Ricky doesn't mean a damn thing to me anymore. He threw everything out the window that night at the beach, and Emery, he's just a flirt, it's what he does. It's how he feels in control. You have nothing to worry about, okay?" I say, fixing his hair back to the way it was before all of his tugging and stressing out.
"I just don't want to lose you. You mean a lot to me." He sighs, grabbing my hand and stroking his thumb slowly across the back.
"I know, and you're not going to lose me, ever." I smile, kissing his cheek gently.
"Now, we have a premiere to do. Look alive and let's show them what we've been working so hard on." I add, a smile coming back to his face as he drops my hand and follows me back over to the cast.
"All good?" Preston asks, ruffling Blake's hair.
"Can you not?" Blake huffs, fixing it again, making all of us laugh a little.
"Alright, everyone! Go ahead and take a seat! Let's get some mics out here for our cast panel. We're gonna go ahead and get things underway." Mark says, everyone falling quiet as they all find their seats. Packed house.
"So, we're going to start out by having the cast introduce themselves, as their name and their character, questions will be allowed after the movie. First up, we've got Blake." Mark says, Blake taking a mic from a stagehand.
"Okay, uh hey everyone, I'm Blake Sanders, and I play the role of Carson. A little insight to this character, he's very misunderstood, in some aspects of his life, but that's where singing comes in, and a solo female singer, played by the lovely, Skylar Johnson." He smiles, the people in the seats clapping and cheering as he says my name. I smile and take the mic from him, waiting for everyone to become silent again.
"Thank you, Blake. I'm Skylar Johnson and I play the role of Jayda, a very spunky, sort of comedic girl who has a passion for singing and helping people through their problems, but of course, every hero has a sidekick, and that is where my best friend, Kayla comes in." I smile, handing the mic to her.
"I'm Kayla Green, I play the role of Tina, Jayda's best friend and partner in crime. We have worked together before and she was absolutely flawless in this film. I think you'll all agree with me, right, guys?" She winks, each one of the guys cheering. I push her playfully and roll my eyes, shaking my head as we move on to Preston.
"I'm Preston Drake, I play Damion, Jayda's older, douche bag, jock of a brother, who turns out to be a total softie in the end." Preston says, handing the mic to Trent.
"I'm Trent Green, yes, Kayla's brother, but I play the role of Jack, a character who's head over heels for Jayda." Trent says and everyone laughs as he hands the mic to Heather.
"I'm Heather Winters, I play Cassidy, a young DJ, music producer who works with both Carson and Jayda." She says, handing the mic to Jacob.
"I am Jacob Neil, I play Nick, Carson's brother and madly in love with Cassidy." Jacob laughs, handing the mic to Jenna.
"I'm Jenna Lake, I play the role of Damion's preppy girlfriend, Amber. And I think, uh with that," She says and I smile, my favorite part of rehearsals coming up. Each of us get a mic and Mark nods to us.
"So, with that. I'm Amber," Jenna says.
"I'm Nick." Jacob says.
"I'm Cassidy." Heather grins.
"I'm Jack." Trent smirks.
"I'm Damion," Preston says.
"I'm Tina," Kayla says smiling.
"I'm Jayda," I smile, looking at Blake.
"And I'm Carson." Blake says, Mark smiling at us.
"And we are, the cast of Like You Do." We all say together, the lights dimming instantly after as the movie starts to play. Each of us are ushered off to the side and to our own seats, the movie just beginning.
