What a mess

*Silas*“Do you think there is value in what we do here?” I ask one of the staff, a guy named Conner, the one who was in charge of taking Sophie to the facility. “Empowering people to change their lives? Making the world a better place?”“Of course... the work here is everything,” he says meekly, like someone waiting to be scolded.I shake my head. “Then I just don't understand how I failed you so badly.”“You never failed me,” he says, wringing his hands nervously.I breathe in slowly. “Sophie Marchuk never made it to the facility. The LAPD just found her body in Lancaster. All those status reports you’ve been giving me over the last few weeks were all lies. Now all we have, everything we have to offer, is at risk. So tell me, tell me what I missed.”“It’s not your fault,” he swallows. “I... I couldn’t make myself tell you... I tried.”“Well, you and I have to fix this, and sacrifices have to be made.” We are interrupted as the door slams open and a stone-faced Elijah walks in, great

On tv

*Nina*I am standing backstage at the TV studio with Cassandra, watching Elijah charm the host Gwen Byers. "I hear you have a birthday coming up... so I brought you a little something.""Oh, it's not for three weeks... but we can get started... I mean, I only turn thirty once," Gwen says, making everyone laugh, as it is definitely some years ago she turned thirty."Exactly, here you go." Elijah grabs a bag from beside his armchair and hands it to her.She pulls up the piece of pink clothing. "Oh my god... what? Is this a 'the soldier' onesie?""I know that you are probably thinking that this is a shameless promotion," Elijah says with his cutest smile. "But this is actually a very versatile garment... let me show you... I brought some pictures."Elijah turns to the screen behind him, and a picture of him wearing a similar pink onesie, lounging on the couch with an old-fashioned teddy bear comes up, making everyone, including the host, go 'aww' and giggle."Here we have me and Larry ha

A gift and a demand

*Elijah*“I don't even know why I am so surprised,” Nina says, grinning at me, as I am driving her to the theater after taping the TV show. “Makes me wonder what other hidden talents you have.”I chuckle, feeling relieved about how well it went. “Well, I skated a lot as a kid, but back then, I don’t know, I used it to escape.”“Escaping from what? Some shit at home?” She looks at me, and I feel she genuinely cares.“Yeah,” I nod. “So the two things have kinda always been connected. It’s just, it felt so great to do it when, when things are going so great in my life.” I look at her, and she sends me a loving smile. “Oh, I talked to Silas. He, uhm, had a security detail following you.”She looks a bit confused. “Security? Why?”“Just for your protection,” I explain. “But it won’t be happening again.”She sounds unsure. “Really?”“Yeah, I don't want you thinking about anything but your play right now. That’s all that matters,” I tell her.“You are right.” She reaches out to squeeze my th

Sacrifices

*Elijah*I am sitting on the floor in my bedroom, the phone in my hand. I feel scared and lost after my meeting with Silas. I can’t believe he is doing this to me, and right now I need to hear Nina’s voice, so I call her.It takes a moment before she picks up. “Hello.”“Hey.” Hearing her voice makes my eyes tear up, but I hide it.“Yeah, it actually works… hands-free, baby, in my Maserati.” She laughs softly, and it makes my heart hurt. “I am so glad you called because I have spent the day doing a full analysis of my life in general, and I have come to the conclusion that you are amazing, and I am so lucky to have you and to love you. And it has nothing to do with the car, even though the car is insane, but you are so kind and pure, and you actually think about others besides yourself. I can’t wait for you to come to the play tonight. Anyway, how was your day?”I can’t tell her, and I can’t lose her. I would die if I lost her, so I swallow it down. “Good... yeah, good... I just wanted

Falling apart

2 weeks later*Elijah*Nina’s play is over and done. She was a huge success, just like I expected. I remember watching the premiere from the shadows, tears streaming down my face, both because the play was emotional and she nailed it, and because of what I just did… the regret, the feeling of being useless.I guess it’s a good thing she has been so busy with the play, giving me time alone to sulk around feeling miserable when I am not on set, struggling to finish the damn movie.“Oh God, Elijah,” Nina mumbles, throwing back her head, as I am kissing down her neck, thrusting softly into her.I had needed her so badly… needed to feel normal, needed to forget. This is the first time we have sex since Silas forced me into doing that horrid thing.I realize that Nina suddenly seems distant, like her mind is somewhere else and she doesn’t know what to do with her hands, almost like she is doing a scene. “Are you okay?”“Yeah, I’m great,” she says, smiling softly at me.I bury my face in her

Wanting out

*Cassandra*"I have to go," I tell Annika. I am lying on her bed after another meeting, another release of the stress.She grabs a bottle of lotion. "Slow down, you have to give it a couple of minutes.""I have to go to Anaheim and somehow convince this woman, the writer's widow, not to sell the story Elijah is dying to direct to someone else," I say with a sigh."Cassandra, you are not ready, trust me." She starts rubbing the lotion on my back. "I took you way past your comfort zone. You can’t do that without going deep inside your head and reorganizing the wiring."I let myself sink back down on my stomach as she massages the cream into my skin. "Ten minutes.""That will do," she says with a smile in her voice, as she continues massaging me."So, how long has this been your thing?" I ask her curiously."I am into a lot of things. I don’t play the same role with everyone I sleep with," she says as her hands run over my skin.I nod. "Well, none of us do. Do you sleep with a lot of peo

Back home

*Nina*I am hauling my suitcase to the waiting car. Maybe a couple of days at home in New York will get everything back right in my head, but I am not sure that meeting with Nate will be a good idea, even if I would like to support him in getting the play put up in New York.“Thanks,” I smile at the driver as he takes the suitcase to put it in the car, but stops in my tracks as another car pulls up behind mine. What is going on?The back door opens, and Elijah steps out, a kinda sheepish look on his face, and I ask in surprise, “Hey, what's going on?”“Hi, I, uh, know it’s last minute, but could I go to the wedding with you?” He stops in front of me.“Sure, yeah, of course.” I mean, I would love for him to be there and meet everyone. “But, is everything okay?”He nods, and a smile appears on his face. “Everything is fine.”“But what about your meeting with Rathburn?” I have a weird feeling that there is more to this than him wanting to spend time with me.“I don’t have it in me to rom

The ghosts of her past

*Nina*“Oh boy... I forgot how tiny this place is... your closet is literally bigger than this room," I say with a grin as we make our way into Tessa’s old room, which practically still looks the same as when we were teenagers."It's fine," Elijah says, smiling happily as he enters. "Kinda nice for the weekend." He puts down the bag and goes to look at the collage of pictures and postcards on her wall. "Oh my god... look at you."I make a face at the memory. "Uhh, let me guess: braces, ombre hair, and a choker.""Yup," he keeps looking. "Wow, you are in almost all of these... I guess they were like a second family to you."I nod. "Yeah, kinda.""Who are all these people?" he asks as he looks over the pictures with this happy little curious smile."Uhm, it's like high school friends mostly," I say, walking over to stand beside him. "You will probably meet them all tomorrow."A picture catches my attention, transporting me back in time to bad memories, things I’d rather forget.I almost

A weird trip

*Silas*I drive up in front of the remote house, ring the doorbell, and a young Asian woman lets me in without saying a word.I am standing in the living room, looking through the glass wall at the river outside as I wait for Isaac. I need to reflect on my life and on my friendship with Elijah after his aggressive outburst."Jesus... your god complex should treat you better," Isaac says as he walks in, looking more like a bum than the genius he is."For once, I agree with you." I turn, and my eyes scan him. "But when was the last time you saw the sun?"He grins, "I am creating the sun, Silas," he says.I chuckle. "Ah... of course you are.""See, my god complex never lets me down because it’s based on science," he smiles like he thinks he knows best. "Give me a few minutes to get things set up.""Sure." I really hope this will give me the answers I need… I need it to.*Nina*"I think if you take your seat, we might be able to get this thing started," Ollie says, patting Elijah's should

Telling him the truth

*Nina*“Can I have a glass of white wine, please?” I go up to the bar and ask the bartender.“Nina, hi.” I hear a voice behind me.I turn, plastering on a smile. “Hey Rebecca, how are you?”“Good... I can’t believe how long it’s been. I teach social studies at MHS, tenth graders... oh my god,” she says.“Oh good... that’s great.” I am still smiling, keeping the facade.She makes a small head motion towards Elijah. “And you are obviously doing amazing... It's so crazy, right? We are all grown up.”“Yeah... that is crazy.” I nod, hoping this conversation will be over soon.“It’s just so sad that... Evan couldn’t be here with us, you know... he would be really proud of you, you know,” she says, still smiling.I slowly back away. “Excuse me.”I quickly walk off, kind of hiding behind a small tree... feelings and thoughts flooding me.“Hey.” Elijah pops up by my side.“Hey.” I honestly feel kind of relieved to see him.He looks at me. “You gotta tell me what’s going on... you have been lik
