update/Taylor

I love Matthew. But I am blocked on his story. I don't know where it is going.

I have another story in my head. A story that has mapped itself out and I know exactly where it is going. I thought I would share some of this story with you. Enjoy!

Taylor Robertson

CHAPTER 1
She closed her eyes against the tears and hit the wall. Her co-stars stared. Taylor Robertson never got angry. Taylor took a deep breath and opened her eyes. She saw the shock. She saw the confusion. She walked out of the room without a word to anyone.
Hailey Lewis looked to her husband Jessie. He nodded slightly. She followed her best friend out of the room.
Taylor slammed the door to her trailer. She couldn’t believe she broke down like that. She had to get control of herself. People were beginning to talk. Taylor picked up her lucky charm and sat down on the couch.
Hailey knocked lightly on Taylor’s trailer. No answer. She knew Taylor wouldn’t want to talk to anyone, but she had to try. She opened the door and let herself in. What she saw was surprising; Taylor was not in tears, she did not seem angry, in Hailey’s eyes her best friend appeared to be in complete control. But something was missing. Taylor seemed too subdued, but Hailey couldn’t quite put her finger on just what was different.
Taylor heard the knock on the door. She chose not to answer, knowing that if it was Hailey, as she suspected, her best friend would know to just come in. She watched as the door opened as Hailey stepped in quietly and sat beside Taylor. Taylor almost smiled, almost. Hailey knew her. She knew when not to push.
Taylor took a deep breath. “I can’t do this right now. I can’t deal with her.”
Hailey frowned. Taylor never talked like this. She got along with everyone. “What happened?”
“Nothing. I just can’t deal today. I need a break.”
Now Hailey knew something was wrong. Taylor had just returned from a two week vacation. A sudden two week vacation to an undisclosed location.  Not even Hailey knew where she went, and they were best friends. “We are almost done for today. You only have one scene left. Can you do that?”
Taylor closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “I don’t have any other choice. This episode is due tomorrow and I am in the last scene. Please tell everyone I will be there in five minutes.”
