I started acting when I was ten.
I got my first big break in the Disney hit show, The Flinders.
It was a short lived two season run, but it gave me enough recognition to get my next big role in the box office smash, Rapture.
After that I was able to pick and choose my roles and even won a few awards for my performances.
I was living the dream.
At twenty-five, I decided to take a break from acting and do something completely different.
I had always been an adventurous person, so when I was asked to be on Big Brother, I jumped at the opportunity.
I didn’t think I would make it as far as I did, but in the end I won the whole thing.
It was a complete rush.
For a month I was able to forget who I was and just be myself, and it felt amazing.
I thought after winning the show, I would go back to my normal life as an actor.
I had plans to start filming a new movie with one of my all-time favorite actresses.
It was going to be the biggest grossing film of my career to date.
But then everything in my life changed all in one minute.
It was announced that I would be starring alongside my girlfriend of two years in the new movie.
The problem with that is that none of us were actually told that I had been cast in the movie.
I pace back and forth outside the office of the director, James Morrison, at Paramount.
My hands are shaking and my phone feels like it’s going to slip out of them at any second.
I look down at it for what has to be the hundredth time since I saw the announcement.
I have three missed calls from Sarah, my girlfriend.
She must have seen the announcement too.
Mason stands beside me, keeping the reporters at bay with the help of a few security guards from the studio.
The secretary finally waves me in and I walk past her desk and into his office.
James sits behind his mahogany desk, wearing that smirk that has gotten him a dozen blockbuster hits in Hollywood.
"Ethan, take a seat," he says as I stand before him.
I don’t move from my spot though.
My throat tightens as I pull up the casting announcement on my phone and slide it across his desk.
"Fuck you, James," I say, my voice low and menacing.
He looks up at me, the smirk still on his face.
He picks up his phone and reads the text on the screen.
"What’s the problem, Ethan?"
I shake my head.
"You know exactly why I’m here. You know that Sarah and I ended things six months ago. We didn’t even end them on good terms."
He leans back in his leather chair, the smirk still on his face.
"I do remember now. You two had quite the public breakup."
My hands clench into fists at my sides.
"It was a private breakup that was made public by your studio. Now you want me to work with her?"
He shrugs his shoulders.
"It’s a movie, Ethan. You’re both actors. You can pretend to be someone else for a few weeks."
I shake my head again.
"No, either you get a new lead actress or I walk. It’s that simple."
He sighs and shakes his head.
"Okay, let me see who else is available," he says as he opens up his laptop.
"Jennifer Lawrence is out of town for the next three months… Emma Stone is on vacation…"
I cut him off before he starts listing any more actresses.
"Ally McBeal," I say firmly.
"She’s perfect for the role." He raises his eyebrows at me.
"Let me see," he says as he clicks a few buttons on his laptop.
I turn to look out the window and watch as Mason deflects questions from the reporters about my reaction to the news of Sarah being cast with me.
James closes up his laptop and turns it around so I can see it.
"She’s available," he says as I look down at her picture.
He picks up his phone and dials a number before putting it up to his ear.
"She’s perfect for this role," I say again as he waits for someone to answer their phone.
"She’s been looking for a big break like this. She’ll be thrilled."
James nods at me before he speaks into the phone.
"Consider it done," he says, sealing my future with a single call.
I sit in my trailer, watching Ally nail another emotional scene on the monitor.
It’s been six months since we started filming Midnight’s Edge and the chemistry between Ally and me is undeniable.
The crew whispers about how this could be the film that gets us both an Oscar, but I’m not thinking about the future.
I’m living in the moment of each scene, letting the raw energy of acting take over my body.
It’s why I fell in love with it in the first place.
I hear a knock on my trailer door and I look up at Mason as he walks inside.
"Hey, man," he says as he takes a seat in front of me.
"James said you were here."
"Yeah, just grabbing a bite to eat before we do the next scene."
Mason nods his head and looks around my trailer.
"I can’t believe you almost walked away from this movie. It’s going to be huge." "I know," I say as I take a bite of my sandwich.
"It was a stupid mistake."
Mason shakes his head.
"It wasn’t stupid. You were upset. You had every right to be."
I shrug my shoulders.
"It was still stupid. This movie is going to make me more money than any movie I’ve ever done."
Mason grins at me.
"Maybe you’ll finally buy a house."
I roll my eyes at him.
"I don’t need a house," I say as I take another bite of my sandwich.
"I’m barely ever home anyway."
Mason laughs and shakes his head.
"You’re crazy, man. You’re twenty-six years old and you’re still living in that apartment."
"It’s a nice apartment," I say defensively.
"It’s not like I’m living on the streets."
Mason shrugs his shoulders and stands up from his chair.
"Well, whatever. I just wanted to check in on you. See how things are going with the movie."
"They’re good," I say as I stand up from my chair too.
"I think we’re all going to be happy with how it turns out."
Mason nods his head and starts walking towards the door.
"I’m sure you will be. Let me know if you need anything while you’re filming."
I nod my head and follow him out of my trailer. We walk across the parking lot towards where James is standing beside one of the cameras.
He has a big grin on his face when he sees us coming towards him.
"Good, good," he says as he waves us over to him.
"Ally's performance is really something, isn't it?" James says, nodding towards the set.
"Yeah, she's incredible," I reply, trying to keep my voice steady.
James leans in slightly, lowering his voice. "You know, Ethan, I think this film might just change everything for both of you."
I nod my head, still trying to process the weight of his words.
As we stand there, I can't help but glance over at Ally, who's standing by the grand staircase, running through her lines under her breath.
The dim lighting of the soundstage casts a warm glow over the entire set, and I can feel the anticipation building as we prepare to film this pivotal ballroom scene.
The crew is busy making final adjustments to the lights and moving equipment into place.
Ally looks up and catches my eye for a moment, giving me a small, nervous smile before turning back to her script.
"Alright everyone, let's get into position," the assistant director calls out, breaking the silence.
I take my mark at the bottom of the stairs, feeling the familiar rush of adrenaline as I prepare to step into character.
