Chapter Twenty-Two
"I did my best
But I guess my best wasn't good enough
Cause here we are
Back where we were before
Seems nothin' ever changes
We're back to being strangers
Wondering if we ought to stay
Or head on out the door
Just once
Can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
Why we never last for very long
What are we doin' wrong?
Just once..."
That was the song that she had been playing over and over again inside her apartment as that was also the theme song of 'The Second Time Around', their series. And every single time she got to listen to the song, she'd tear up. It had been three days since the first episode of the series was released, but everything was still overwhelming for her.
Not to mention that it was also the same song that she listened to when they broke up years ago, although the song's lyrics didn't really speak much about their relationship. It was just a

Timothee could no longer commute to work because when she did that soon after, people started noticing that she was somehow an artist. She didn't even know that that was possible since she still didn't have that many scenes in the series yet. Sure, she was a supporting actress, but she was still considered as a new face in the industry, and usually, new faces didn't get recognized that often.At that time, it was even an utterly awkward situation. She was riding a jeepney when it happened, she could see how the eyes of the girl, who was sitting beside her, widened before she shyly asked her whether she was one of the actresses in the series which she replied with a yes. If the jeepney wasn't too packed with people, she was certain that she would've even asked for a picture.That was even a favorable situation for her because if it weren't ans she faced a different circumstance instead where people would start harassing her, she would surely

"Get in. It'd be unsafe for you to commute, you know that, right?" he asked in a commanding tone which really made her feel mad because once again, she felt like he was stepping on her. Maybe it was intentional, maybe it was just the product of her prejudice towards him, but she felt that way anyway.She hated that he was right, and that she was left with no choice, once again, but to listen to him. "If someone would see us..." She didn't know how to say what she wanted to say to him. What if someone would see them? She knew that people around the country had started becoming simps for the guy. In fact, the series had already been trending on twitter since the trailer was released, and everyone was very excited with the release of the new episodes.When she checked Twitter last time using hee dummy account, she even read how people found him utterly handsome and attractive. They even said that he was the type who didn't need to try so hard t
The Second Time Around Chapter Twenty-Five
Timothee wasn’t feeling well that night. The moment she got home, she felt like something wasn’t sitting right at the pit of her stomach. She didn’t exactly know how to describe what she was feeling, but she just wanted to sleep it all out because after all, she might just be tired, especially after working for hours during the day. It might also be because of the anxiety and pressure that she was feeling in her chest that was making her feel as if her body felt heavier than usual.That was probably what Rory was talking about a while ago. She remembered her saying that it was normal for actors and actresses, especially the new ones, to feel sick after working for hours. She said that some people that she knew experienced it exactly during the first day while others experienced it some day after the very first day. It varied. Maybe that was really it. She didn’t want to think that it was because she ate only a little b

There wasn't even that much time left for her to breathe nor was there any other time to enjoy and be comfortable with her condominium unit. It was because the next morning, a shuttle service was already in front of her condo. Majority of the people who were inside the shuttle were the staff as only a few of the actors and actresses who would be staying in Siargao didn't have cars. And she was one of those people.Ngel offered to drive her to the airport, but she insisted for him not to as the guy hadn't have enough rest since he went home and helped with the unpacking. Even she who didn't do the carrying was so exhausted that she felt like sleeping and resting for the rest of the week.That was why he couldn't change her mind. Besides, she was fine riding with the staff as she was already a little close with them as well. She was just naturally friendly with people, and could easily blend in in a circle of friends
The Second Time Around Chapter Twenty-Seven
It felt like Siargao was a place crafted by the heavens. The moment she stepped into the island, it seemed like she was in an another world. She knew that the place was already beautiful based on the vlogs and pictures that she saw about it. But it was way different than being there herself, than seeing the beauty of the island with her own eyes.She even forgot how stressful the whole ride and the whole flight was because of Raphael. There was really a rainbow after the rain. She grinned at the thought.She saw Theresse looking everywhere. It looked like she was looking for her since she was one of the people who went out last. When her eyes finally landed at her, she was quick to wave before running towards her direction. "Hi, Tim!" She couldn't help but smile after hearing that she was finally calling her by her nickname. Although she still wasn't used to having a personal assistant at all. "We will be sharing rooms together with Mi
The Second Time Around Chapter Twenty-Eight
Even when Tim wasn't able to sleep properly as her body was still getting used to the environment, she still woke up with a big smile the morning after. She even woke up earlier than Theresse who was very apologetic. The girl said that it was her duty to wake her up, and to help her prepare for the day as that was the first things that a personal assistant should do.She told her that there was no need for her to do that unless if it was really necessary. She wasn't used to someone doing that for her because she had been doing that to herself alone for as long as she could remember. In fact, she wasn't used to having a personal assistant at all. The girl really followed her around that sometimes it would even make her feel awkward about it.She got ready for the day as her schedule for the next two weeks had already been prepared. Luckily, she was able to settle all of her things down so it wasn't that hard getting to know where she pu
The Second Time Around Chapter Twenty-Nine
Timothee found out that the staff actually had another strategy to get more viewers to watch the series. They wanted to maximize the potential of the film by taking advantage of social media. In fact, they had already started it without Tim knowing. Maybe they had already mentioned it to her before, but she was probably too preoccupied with other things that she wasn’t able to listen intently. What she knew was that they were capturing behind the scenes from their different shootings, of course, they excluded those things that could invade the privacy of people.They had also made a website to store all of those behind the scenes cuts since they found out that people seemed to be so fond of watching stuff like that, especially when there were a lot of actors and actresses that were part of the series who were considered as new faces in the industry, Timothee included. That was pro
The Second Time Around Chapter Thirty
Life in Siargao was utterly different than the life that she was accustomed to in the city. Her co-actors, especially those who weren't new in the field, seemed to be used with situations like that already, unlike her who was still taking her time getting used to the way of living.It wasn't so bad, though, considering that she was busy with all the acting that she should do. During the nights, they would watch the episode that was being aired, except for Timothee who would just be in their room, reading tweets about the episode. So far, she still hadn't heard any critical comment about the show, and she had even read a lot of good stuff about her as well, saying that she was pretty and that she was a hidden gem that was luckily discovered by the agency.There were even tweets about the behind-the-scene episodes that were released. There was even a Rory and Raphael ship that had been established already, but when she talked to the girl
