The End is Near: Ch 3

Howdy folks,

So today I wrote my final exam as an undergrad...that's right...I'm graduating! I thought that I'd post something up today...just cause I have nothing to do (Not true, I have my thesis to write). Without further delay...

~ Conference Room~

Ron: Ok...so I just received an email from the producer and there seems to be a slight change in the production that we’re supposed to start next week

Bosco: Change?

Ron: Well...instead of one lead actress, apparently it was recently decided that there will be two lead actresses, essentially splitting the screen time in half...

Myolie: The script-writer’s probably pissed off about that

Ron: Actually...he somehow knew that such change would occur and already had a backup plan

Guy: And he didn’t have the decency to tell us about it before hand

Ron: Hold on...you can’t blame the guy, it was a hunch, a good hunch but still a hunch

Bosco: You’re always playing the nice guy...sometimes you really got to stand your ground...you ARE the director

Ron: Well...I’ll stand my ground when the filming starts and I’ll make sure that both actresses’ acting is up to par so that they could play the part convincingly. Even if the co-star is a newbie...I won’t allow any mistakes

Lady: So, what are we going to do about the costumes?

Ron: Well, I already asked the producer about that, so don’t worry about it Nancy...he’ll get back to you...you know how it is anyways, recycling of old costumes

Nancy: Ok...cause what we’ve collected so far is meant for the characters in the original script...you’re pretty lucky it’s a modern drama...imagine the chaos if it was a period drama

Ron: I know, I know...but the instructions were sent from above so...there’s nothing much I can do about it

Myolie: What are you trying to imply?

Ron: Let’s just say this newbie’s father is one of our bosses...ok?

Bosco: Got it...

(whispers in the room)

Ron: Alright, alright...that’s about all that I have to say for now...so...go home, have a nice rest and I’ll see you all back tomorrow so we can go over some stuff

~ Filming~

Ron: Before we get started, I’d like to remind everyone that we should be careful as to what props we use in the set, especially to get rid of brands and tags of companies that are not paying to have their product or name placed in our drama. And...

Woman: Director, can I say a few words

Ron: Uh...sure, go ahead Sire...

Sire smiled: Thanks...I just wanted to say that since I’m new I might make some mistakes, so I’d like to apologize in advance and I look forward to learning a lot from everyone here

Bosco whispering to Myolie: She seems pretty decent...

Myolie whispering back: Careful honey, these cute ones always come back to bite

Bosco: What’s that supposed to mean?

Myolie: You’ll see...

Ron: Thank you Sire, anyways, I was going to end off my little spiel with just a few words of encouragement and...That lunch will be served at noon

There were a few chuckles, as everyone went and got into their respective places, ready to film.

Bosco: Places everyone!!!

Ron: Ready? Action!

~ Filming of the drama~

Vincent: This is it then?

Sire: I don’t know...I...I...

Ron: CUT!!! Let’s start again...do you want to look at the script again?

Sire: No, I’m sorry, I was just a bit nervous...

Ron: It’s alright...let’s do it again from the top of the flashback scene. Ready? Action!

Vincent: This is it then?

Sire: I don’t know...I just can’t take this place anymore...but...

Vincent: But you still have feelings for me...don’t you?

Sire: I...I shouldn’t (she turns away from him)

Ron: Cut! Good take...we’ll move on to Mandy’s scene...so Sire...you can go have a little break or stick around and watch her film

Sire: If you don’t mind, I have to meet my dad at his office...so I’ll be leaving first...but I’ll return in time for the afternoon take

Ron: Sure, go ahead

Sire: Thanks

Ron: No problem

Sire: Maybe next time you can join us?

Ron smiled and nodded: Sure...if it works with our work schedule

===============

~Hospital~

Linda: How many times do I need to remind you the patient in bed 201 is allergic an assortment of flower pollen?

Nurse: I’m sorry, I...was just trying to cheer her up...she told me she really likes flowers...

Linda: But you should’ve remembered that she’s allergic. No more flowers and tell the other visitors to not bring flowers into this room...

Nurse: I’m really sorry

Linda: Go and do your job

She stood at the entrance to the room, with her hand clasp against her forehead. Why is it that she always seems to catch him while he does these stupid things? And why is she the one that has to scold him, in front of all the other doctors and nurses.

Queenie: Hey, sis...calm down...ok? Elaine’s a nice girl, she was only trying to make the patient happy

Linda: She could’ve killed her

Queenie: She just went through a bad break up, give the girl some slack

Linda: What? Break-up? Again?

Queenie: That’s mean

Linda: It’s not my fault that she seems to be in and out of relationships every other month...

Queenie: she’s your best friend since kindergarten

Linda: You think I should go talk to her...right?

Queenie: Obviously! She’s heartbroken...and now you just gave her a nice scolding in front of everyone, how do you think she feels?

Linda: Alright, I’ll go talk to her

~ Break room~

She was sitting at the table alone, and it sounded as though she was actually crying. Linda just stood there and watched her. She was always like this...always getting bullied, always trying to making others happy, always get herself into trouble...but she was always there for her as well. She couldn’t imagine what her life would’ve been like without her. She was the one that encouraged her to go into medicine to begin with. She told her that she’d stick around to help her whenever she needed help and next thing Linda knew, Elaine decided to go into nursing.

She slowly walked towards where Elaine was sitting and took a seat next to her.

Linda: You ok?

Elaine: I’m...I’m fine

Linda: I’m sorry about yelling at you...I know you were only trying to make a patient feel better

Elaine: No, it was my fault...you had every right to yell at me

Linda: But I should’ve just spoken to you in private or something...

Elaine: Ya...you could’ve done that...but it’s not exactly your style is it? (she tried to smile)

Linda: Sorry...and I heard about you know...

Elaine: My break-up?

Linda: Ya...sorry...I should’ve been a better friend

Elaine: You’re always so busy...I get it...it’s ok...besides you did warn me about him

Linda: you’re a great person Elaine, you’ll find your other half soon...

Elaine: I know, but...look we’re nearing thirty...and...

Linda: At least you’re dating, right...Look at me, I haven’t gone out with anyone since Kenneth

Elaine: At least you’re not getting your heart broken...

They both heaved a sigh

Linda: We should go for a drink later...how about it?

Elaine: We’ll see...anyways...I better get back to work...I don’t want to get yelled at again (she nudged Linda)

===============

It's not exactly the best chapter...but the next one will be something...so...stay tuned for more!

Please leave me a comment/comments...and thanks for the previous comments! If I get a few comments...I'll definitely update sooner, especially cause I'm pretty free from now on (again, not true...I'm free after Friday)

So...bye for now!

Randomness...OUT!!!
