Grayson Archer

"With every beginning, comes an end." - Unknown

I want to be anywhere but here,but nonetheless here I am walking into Golden Star already ten minutes late for the meeting. Not that I care. They are lucky I'm even coming to hear this bullshit.

I walk inside and sip the coke in my hand before heading to the gold mirror elevator to go up to the 22nd floor where everything Morning Star is. All our recording studios, dressing rooms, offices, record rooms, costume rooms, practice rooms and more. The elevator takes me up and I exit in front of all our albums and records before turning left seeing the big doors at the end that goes to the office of Bridget and Austin's that connects to my fathers. He may be a shareholder of Golden Star but he insists on staying on this floor.

Probably to taunt me.

I enter through his office doors and everyone is already seated, I'm the only thing out of place. "You're late." My dad states. "Sorry, I didn't want to be here." I tell him and take a sweat in the leather chair beside Shawn. 

"Due to the recent press." Bridget says, turning on the pull down screen that's beside her and there is an article out about me and Alexia and the headline is "Famous Rockstar Grayson Archer Leaves Alexia Kirby?" That makes me fume. "We think you should play this off once  she leaves. It would be good press and re-boot you from the Jazzlyn mishap and many more girls want you." Bridget says. " I don't want them." I say. "That's not the point, Grayson. This could be big for you. You need this. You need the big stunt." dad says. "What does this have to do with me?" Shawn asks. "We think it's time you lose Zara. Having her attached to you is losing your views. She's so much younger or we could play off like you're using her. A scandal." Austin says. Shawn cocks his head at him. "No." he states. "Shawn, she is holding you back." Austin says. "You're an idiot if you think she's going away. You can go though." Shawn says. "Maybe we can play her off, use her. Maybe you can love her differently." Austin tries to bargain. "Don't tell me how to love her!" Shawn yells at them. Shawn gets up and fixes his suit jacket. "Now if you excuse me, I must get back Zara. She's waiting for me." Shawn says and excuses himself.

"Nothing is changing with Alexia, I like her and I'm not using her." I say, standing up. "Good luck changing the idea the media already has without me. I head they are already airing my storyline." My dad smirks. So this is his payback. Getting rid of her. "I can try my best. And if you two insist on backing him up I will talk to Mr. Hayden about replacing you." I state before leaving.

I have no idea how I will fix this but I can't change what they are saying but I can tell Alexia I am not agreeing with what they are saying and try and fix what is happening with Alexia.

All I can do is go to try right now.

Alexia Kirby

The next morning was not what I expected . I definitely didn't expect to wake up and find on Hollywood insider that a segment was going on that Grayson so called "left" me.

We're not even together! What the hell is this? But they are making up this story that we were secretly dating and at Zara's junior prom we got into a fight and he left me or we "broke" up but that never even happened. I also woke up to reporters and paparazzi outfront.

The front gate was closed so they couldn't get in. I got ready as normal in a milti-green, white, and black, spaghetti strap cami plaid dress. It even has a little tie bow in between my boobs. I wear it with my leather blazer and my black platform converse. Fiz picks me up this morning and takes me to set.

It's the last day of filming, and then I go home in three to four days after everything is set up. What a way to start off my last filming day. Fiz pulled up in front of my filming studio and I bid him goodbye before jumping out and running inside.

"Did you make it here okay?" Emerson crushes me into a hug as I enter. "Have you been waiting for me to get here?" I ask her. "Maybe." She says, pulling away and hooking her arm into mine. "Look, I know things are crazy, Gray explained and I've seen it but we really need to focus today." Emerson tell me and I nod. "I agree. I'm going to go get dressed and in hair and makeup." I tell her. "Good, the best way to get over this is to get to work." She says positively.

I wish I was that positive. I knew something like this would eventually happen. You just have to love Hollywood for that.

I dressed in the first outfit and my hair in a high ponytail because I'm in a practice cheer outfit. We first filmed the scene that we and Gray first practiced a while back and now we are on the final scene white my hair is now done and I'm wearing basic jeans with heel black boots and a plaid shirt that has tie shoulders and flare ruffle bottom.

This is the big party finale where Gray's and Noah's character's are playing as a band. I have to walk around. Right now I'm standing at my starting marker waiting for Garner to give me my cue for me to start walking to the front of the stage, when Garner when me the nod I start walking threw the crowd and the background actors let the threw and some get in my way as I make it the front of the stage and watch them play and the camera pans around me. They finish up as Gray makes eye contact with me.

Garner calls cut and next is me and Grayson's kiss scene before everyone else jumps in. There's some small talk before which we haven't walked all day really because Emerson really needed these scenes done today and as good as possible.

"Did you enjoy the show?" He asks. "So this is what you have been hiding from me?" I laugh. Gray smiles at me and leans in to kiss me as I hear the camera zoom in. As his lip connects with mine I start to feel a slight tingle in my chest but this kiss doesn't feel like he's just acting it out for the scene as I hear the confetti blow behind us he kisses me harder, It feels as if he's pouring all his heart into it. Like he's never going to see me again.

Like this is the end.

We end the kiss and play out the rest of the scene as the rest of the cast tackles us and the end credit music plays and camera pans out and Garner calls cut. Everyone around us cheers in happiness due to this being the last scene of the movie. I look around to ask Grayson something but I see him walking off so I decide to follow him off and he turns into his dressing room.

Inside they are playing the same segment of Hollywood News I woke up to. I take a deep breath,  still have butterflies from the kiss earlier. "Are you excited, you finally finished the movie." I say, trying to lighten the mood. "I should be." He shrugs. He's a little off. "It's crazy right. Them thinking what's going on with us." I say, referring to the tv. "They think that because of my dad." He tells me, finally turning around to face me. He places his hands in his pockets.

So this is his fathers way of getting back at him. I guess when they bark, he bites back. "How are you going to stop it?" I ask him. He has to stop it, right? Gray, looks down, not saying anything. My stomach drops. He's going to fix this right? Right?

"You're letting them think that you just left me. That you are using me, because that's what they are saying." I tell him, pointing to the tv. Anger and hurt are now becoming apparent in my voice. The segment of Hollywood News is continuing behind us and the voices of excitement are bellowing through the hall. "I don't know how to change it." Gray says, looking down at the ground.

Bullshit. "You're running away again. He's winning again and you're letting him."

There's silence. He knows I'm right, he always does this. Why did I think he was going to be different this time when something big happened?

"It's Hollywood. I can't change that." he replies and all the wind was knocked out of me. I felt as if I would crumble right in this room. At first I wanted to cry but he's right it's Hollywood and he can't change that and if he's going to pretend he left me and I was just some Hollywood stunt. Then he's what he's always been, just some boy in a band to me.

"You're right." I say, and turn around holding back the tears leaving the room. Leaving Grayson behind.

Walking our Emerson is standing outside the door. "Alexia." She says but I walk past her. "Don't worry about it. Let's just work okay." I say to her and we do. We work all day, till it's over. At the end Emerson lets me take one thing from the set and I pick the cheer uniform that Daniella wears and gather my things to leave set.

"Alexia!"Graner calls me over and I go to him. "This is for you." He hands me a glitter blue bag with my name on it. "Thank you." I say to him, trying my best to smile. "It was a pleasure to work with you, I hope to see you in Hollywood again one day." Gardner says to me. "I hope to be back soon." I reply. "You will be." Noah says, showing up behind me. "Hi, Noah." I say. "This is for you." He hands me a star keychain. "You're a star now." He says. "Thank you, I'll put it on my keys." I tell him. Noah hugs me and then I give Garner a shirt hug. "Don't forget the cast after party at my house tomorrow at 6pm." Garner reminds me. "I'll be there. I have to go." I say and begin walking away. "Alexia, have a good night." Noah smiles and I smile back.

Walking out I clutch the bag Garner gave me as the coldness of the building starts to get to me and heat starts to rise to my cheeks. I know I'm about to try. He's such a traitor. How could he do this to me? We weren't even together and he broke my heart. This is why I hate feelings. I should have never admitted them. I could have suffered alone, played them off, but no I let him like me, buy me books, and an entire music collection by one of my favorite artists.

I really should have thought this threw more before falling in love with him and the thing is I didn't even know I was falling in love. How do you even fall in love in less than a month? I didn't even like him for most of the month.

As I exit Hayden Productions I see my mother standing outside the limo ignoring some of the cameras around as she runs to me capturing me in a hug, I don't even recognize the fact I'm sobbing right now. "I know honey. It's going to be okay. This will be fixed." She says as she rubs my head. I feel her lightly kiss my head. "I can't believe he did this mom." I sob, hearing my voice break. "I know Lexi, I know." She continues to rub my head as we just stand outside. Soon I hear someone else run to me. "He's an idiot Lexi wexi." Lia wells as she hugs me too. "Fuck off you camera manics and get a life!" She yells at the paparazzi. I slightly laugh at that.

Sometimes you fall in love with people and don't realize till it's too late.
