BESTFRIENDS

I am Emily Rose Rousseau college graduate in nursing course, I have a bestfriend whose name is Thomas Andrew but he is known as Tom, we have been friends since childhood, his parents are business partners of my parents, Tom is a famous actor and singer, he was under the agency handled by my parents. I've wanted him for a long time, but I can't admit it to him, especially since I know he has a girlfriend named Olivia Wilson. Although I'd like to admit I can't, I know we're both 18 years old and graduated from college, Tom graduated from a Film making course, at first I was also interested in the film industry but I realized I'd rather be a military doctor, My parents objected because they wanted me to follow in their footsteps because I am an only child and no one else will handle our business in the future but I already convinced them that I will study business management major in film industry even though I know it is difficult. I don't have anything to do so I still took it even though there were subjects left behind, I made a lot of effort to complete it and get the diploma. How many times in my three months did I see Tom because he was always busy, until I just looked at his i********: and twitter even though I miss him so much. I am now going to my parents' company with my documents as a proof that I will soon graduate with a business management major in the film industry. I took my Lamborghini urus color Grigio Lynx and drove to the company. I also had food for the employees, staffs and for board members. When I parked, the guard met me, I asked him to put the food inside and he did it immediately. "These are the documents I just need to finish my four subjects." "Just leave it at my table, go straight to the board meeting later after lunch." - Mom "Can't I have a meeting now? I still have duty later at the hospital." "No, we need your presentation, finish your presentation and get ready after lunch so we can finish early. We need a new movie project." - Mom "Okay fine." 3 more hours before lunch, it's annoying because I come here so early. 4:30 pm is my duty but I'm not sure I'll reach the deadline at the hospital today. I just came home from duty so I was still in uniform but I still went straight to the company just for documents and presentations, there was a commotion outside the company because the artists had arrived and there were paparazzi outside. I dialed 911 to call the police. "Hello this is 911 how can i help you?" - Dispatcher "There's media outside the Rousseau company they're invading others privacy, can you send police here?" "Are they aggressive?" - Dispatcher "Yes, they're very aggressive like a wild animals, we want to ask for police mens to escort this paparazzi out of Rousseau company please." "The help is on their way now." - Dispatcher I ended the call and then left the office to see who the actors were and why they were so careless, they didn't even escort their body guards. Olivia bumped into me she's screaming in madness. "ARE YOU BLIND HA! LOOK AT WHERE ARE YOU GOING YOU IDIOTIC STUPID JANITOR." - Olivia "What did you call me?" "Idiotic stupid janitor! You're not just blind, you're also a deaf." - Olivia The staffs were already looking at us, I just smiled at him "If I were you I wouldn't be proud, you're just an actor, but what you're saying the janitor is idiotic stupid? They behave better manners than you do, maybe next time be careful or you'll lose everything in one click." "Is that a f*****g threat ?!" - Olivia "Olivia stop! You're causing a scandal here, you're too scandalous." - Tom "It's like this idiotic stupid janitor, she's blind and deaf. Doesn't even look at where she's going." - Olivia "Stop. Please, come on were going to be late for our meeting with our managers." - Tom "Gosh I swear, I'm going to put her on a black list." "Are you okay mam? Are you hurt?" - Staff 1 "I'm fine, please go back to work, don't worry about me." Tom didn't notice me because maybe of his busy schedule and he also looks tired. I was waiting in the board meeting room when Olivia came in while drinking the Starbucks I had brought. "Is it delicious? Can I get a thank you Ms. Rousseau? Oh by the way I'm so sorry but you don't need to attend this meeting, Emma is on her way now she'll be Tom's leading lady." "Who the f**k are you to tell me what to do ?! You're just a janitor, not because you're sitting in the CEO chair you're bragging, hey you're just a janitor you have no right to pretend to own a company." - Olivia "Your attitude is not needed to be part of our company, what you did to my daughter is disgusting. You and your manager are fired!" - Mom "Mom isn't it a bit small punishment? Why don't we put her on the black list?" "Do you want to do the honor?" - Dad "Dad !! Why not coconut haha." Olivia left the company crying and when Tom came in she just smiled. "Thank goodness I'm free from her insufferable attitude. Emily ?! Emiiii i miss you." - Tom "I know I miss you too dude." "Sorry about Olivia, Mrs. Rousseau can we not do the fake dating again? I dont want to date anyone if it isn't real." - Tom "We'll talk about that later." - Mom "Sir, Ma'am Miss Emma Gray is out." - Staff 2 "Let me in." - Dad "Miss Rousseau, this is your presentation that was uploaded." - Staff 1 "Kindly set it for me please." "Okay Miss Rousseau" - Staff 1 After setting up the board meeting room the entire board members entered including Tom and Emma I explained it to them that the new upcoming movie project is a sci-fi realistic movie that I myself wrote the story. "It's worth a risk, the high expenses the more our set is better than others, and I trust Tom that he can play the protagonist well along with Emma." "But Miss Rousseau she's not the leading lady, her role is antagonist's lover." - Mr. Smith "Then who's the leading lady?" "You." - Them "Are you all kidding me ?! I did wrote this book not to play the part, i can't." "Yes you can." - Tom "You don't understand, I'm a nurse not an actress." "And you took Theater art class." - Dad "I can't, I don't know how." "Miss Rousseau you're the only one who understand the leading lady, you wrote her in a very rare way and no one ever can understand her except for you. I believe if you play the part you'll portrait her well." - Emma "We're college classmate Emma, ​​i trusted you for this role, gosh why did you accept my offer if you're not willing to be a leading lady?" "Because you and Tom have a chemistry together, and I saw you at the leading lady role, I saw myself as an antagonist's lover." - Emma "Gosh this is a lot to take it." "I'll try to convince her Mr. & Mrs. Rousseau." - Tom "I'll help." - Emma I walked out of the board meeting room, I went straight to the rooftop carrying the original copy of the book I wrote. I was just staring at its book cover when Emma and Tom approached me. They sat next to me and they just stared at me, they stared at me for almost 10 minutes as I repeatedly turned the page of the book. "Please Emily, you're the only one who can play the part of leading lady. This is your chance to prove your parents that you're not just a nurse but also a talented actress, author and business manager." - Emma "I can't, I don't know how." "You know how, you just don't want to do it because there is something bothering you." - Tom "What's bothering you?" - Emma "If I took the part, I'll lost the opportunity to be a doctor." "No you can't lost that opportunity, your parents promised us if you took the part they will help you to be a military doctor, they know someone in the military camp." - Tom "I don't know. Please don't push it through." "Please Emily, if you say no to me I'll be so disappointed, we've been bestfriend since college, remember I helped you? This is the only thing I want as a payment, you owe me a lot." - Emily "And you owe me too." - Tom "Gosh." How else can I refuse if both of my friends are begging me? I owe Tom a lot especially when we were kids, I owe Emma i can't do it all if she didn't help me out. Maybe nursing will be my back up if it didn't work for me. They both smiling and pulled me back to the board meeting, all the staff and board members looking at me. "We convinced her to be the leading lady and she said yes." - Tom "YEEEEEEES!" - Them "Thank you Emma." - Mom "Thank you too Tom." - Dad I was just shaken because of what was happening, mommy and daddy ordered food to celebrate their success that convinced me to become an actress even though I was not confident. While everyone was celebrating, I excused myself because it was 3:30 and I only had 1 hour to drive back to the hospital. "Sorry Tom I need to go back to the hospital, I have duty now." "I'll drive you, I'm going home too, I'll leave my car with the company." - Tom "You might get confused in the hospital, I don't want you to have an issue because of me." "We're bestfriends it is worth to take risk for you." - Tom "Don't do this Tom, you don't know what I feel." "I know, you don't want so much spotlight around me." - Tom "No, it's just. I like you more than friends." "I feel the same." - Tom "We can't date, I don't want to ruin our friendship." "I know, please let me drive you back to the hospital." - Tom "Do I have any other choice? Fine lets go." He was just talking while driving while I was taking a selfie, I posted on my i********: my photo with Tom who was sideviewed and I couldn't see his face because of his cap and glasses. #BestfriendGoal We stopped over at Starbucks to order coffee, the cashier met him right away and took photos of us. "Please delete that." "Why?" - Cashier "Or I'll sue you and this company, what you're doing is invading of privacy." "I'm not scared." - Cashier "Her uncle is the president, he can shutdown this company and put you in the black list, you have an option delete the photo and I'll give you a selfie with me or not?" - Tom "I'll do delete it." - Cashier "Let me delete it." "Let her." - Tom I took the cashier's cellphone and deleted the photos then I got in the car first and Tom waited for 5mins before he got in the car to make sure no one saw him. "Did you gave her a selfie with you?" "No, because she's so annoying." - Tom "Thank goodness were both safe." "Is that your phone with lots of ig notification?" - Tom "Yes." "Can I see?" - Tom He took my phone and saw my IG post it's all about vlogs and promoting of a small product, there's a lot of comment on my recent photo that I'm having a date on a car with Tom Andrew. "You posted this? We're doomed." - Tom "Pft nope, nope, nope." "My fans are having a fan war, you naughty little lady." - Tom "Maybe?" We just laughed until we got to the hospital, he said he would pick me up tomorrow morning after my shift but it took me to the hospital at 11am instead of 9am at the end of my shift. I worked 2 hours overtime because I wasted the additional salary of those who worked overtime. "I waited for 2 hours here, I'm so hungry what took you so long?" - Tom "Duh it's a hospital not a motel. We got lots of on call duty, I took 2 hours overtime." "Let's go to our summer house." - Tom "I have duty later." "You're not going to work tonight you need to take some sleep and eats a lot." - Tom "I can't, they needed me there." "I don't care, they can't help you if you get sick." - Tom "Gosh Tom." "Please." - Tom I look in other way, in few minutes I fall asleep without knowing he brought me in their summer house, it's 5pm and I woke up in his bedroom. "GOOOOOOOSH TOM!!!" "I told you to take some rest, you sleep for very long time, you are really tired. I cooked some dinner for us let's eat." - Tom I can't deny he's a good cook and a very loving & caring guy, he just need to understand the work ethics of a medical staff. "I hate you, you know I have work to do. It's matter of life and death." "I'm sorry, do hate me as long as you can but I can't let you grind yourself working so hard like that. Your health is matter to me." - Tom My parents came along with Tom's parents they're talking about the new movie project, they all are smiling at me but I was frowning. Tom told them what really happened and they scolded me for risking my life to help others, they told me if I got sick for lifetime I won't able to be a military doctor in the future, I apologize for what I did and asked Tom's forgiveness. He asked me if I want to date him but I was so scared to risk everything, he didn't push it through when he realized that I'm not ready for anything related at dating, we even started to look for the locations for upcoming movie project, I got 2 weeks vacation from the hospital while I'm helping my parents to set up everything. Tom and I are getting pretty cosy, there's a lot of news that I dismissed Olivia to take Tom and the role, but my parents sued all those news reporter who spread rumours about me and Tom they all knew that we're only bestfriends and I got disrespected by Olivia. When our first day of taping I was so nervous, Emma and Tom are helping me to lighten up the atmosphere, our first scene is when a leading lady is stuck between the void and the she met the leading man who's a time traveler he helped her to remember everything but because of being stuck at void all her memories got vanished. "How can I help you? You don't remember any single thing." - Gio (Tom) "The only thing I remember is I got sucked by a void." - Liah (Emily) "You can stay with me here I'll protect you." - Gio (Tom) "You're a time traveler, I'm just nothing but a girl who got stuck at the void." - Liah (Emily) Liah is lying at Gio, she knows that Gio can't resist her. Liah's mission is to take an information from Gio she's a time traveler too, but Gio didn't see that coming. "CUT!" - Direct "Good job Emily, Tom. You two did great, Emily's emotion is something different from what we expect a very real one that's a good one." - Manager Pat "Tom I want to see tomorrow a fierce but with a smile on it because Gio found something on Liah's past." - Direct "Yes Direct." - Tom "Emily do you want to change Liah's plot in a movie?" - Manager Pat "No I don't want let's stick on what I wrote don't change anything respect what I write since i sponsored everything here." - Emily "You better think that twice Emily." - Direct "There's no plot hole on my book, I don't want a plot hole on a movie. If you want to change it, better find a new book and new actors, I'm not going to sponsor everything for that. I want my book and movie to be pure even I'm not the one who's playing the leading lady." - Emily "Okay I got what's your point." - Direct Tom is looking at me, I look in other way before I leave I saw him with his new girl named Jasmine, I rolled my eyes and drove away. Jairo is waiting for me at outside of the hospital with his girlfriend Betty. "You look upset." - Betty "I hate this f*****g job, I want to work in the hospital with overtime again I don't care if they feel like I'm being a b***h I'll work at hospital again without their permission." "Your going to risk your acting job for hospital job?" - Jairo "Because this is the job I want, I hate those production team for bossing around." "For sure you'll get used to it, like how those patient boss around." - Jairo "I don't care, I don't want to be an actress." I didn't attend the filming and spent my 2 weeks working in the hospital my parents are so upset for delaying the movie filming. Tom is outside the hospital waiting but I didn't go out since I'm sleeping in nursing privacy room, my friends buying me a meal outside. "She's so upset on what Direct asked her that's why she's throwing a tantrum." - Tom "It's not valid to delay this filming we're wasting so much time, we need to replace her." - Direct "Or I'll replace you, a lot of our actors and actresses are mad at your attitude, you are bossing them like a puppet." - Mom "Replace me I don't f*****g care, you all asked me to do this even I don't want it, you f*****g beg remember?!" "Emily can we talk?" - Tom "Yeah later, I'm bit tired from hospital duty, I'll go take a nap for a bit." - Emily "Okay." - Tom When I woke up they settled everything, they are talking about replacing me with Jasmine since she's the new girl of Tom, it seems like Tom replaced me not just in movie but also in his life. I smiled at them with tired glance. "So all don't need me here, I'll go back to my apartment now." - Emily "Is it because of me? That's why you look upset?" - Jasmine "Don't assume a lot of things, I'm tired and exhausted, there's no reason to be upset about you." - Emily "You did great as Liah, we want you to play her, but seems like you don't want to do it." - Tom "Because I don't want to." - Emily "That's why jasmine will be the new Liah." - Mom "You have attitude problem Emily, were so disappointed with you." - Dad "Just because I have better plans and didn't want to be an actress I'm a disappointment? Good one dad, a good one." - Emily "You better fix your attitude Emily." - Mom "Then go ahead make Jasmine your new daughter I don't care. Don't expect me to go at the company with a new presentation, and don't asked me for a new book adaptation from my book collection because I'm not gonna let you have it." - Emily "Please Mr. & Mrs. Rousseau that's too much, you shouldn't say those words." - Tom "No, Tom they're right, I'm a disappointment, I choose to be a nurse rather than being a film maker, I studied business management major in film making just to please them but I'm a disappointment. You want all the expenses you gave to me mom dad? Fine here take this money, take my cars, here." - Emily I gave them my 8 car keys, 3 apartment keys and all my money I have before leaving, but my parents hugs me crying saying sorry for what they said. "Please don't do this." - Mom "You all want to push me away for treating me like s**t! What did you expect from me? Forgive? Damn it!" - Emily "We'll make it up to you we promise." - Dad "No!" - Emily "Please Emily." - Tom "Don't do this Tom, don't side on them. You know what I want and what I need, if you keep begging on me, I might not resist it." - Emily "Because you love him more than a bestfriend." - Emma "Yeah like a brother" - Emily Jasmine can't believe on what's going on, she excused herself and walks away, Tom run after her, I spotted Tom and Jasmine at the parking lot they're fighting. Seems like Tom didn't like Jasmine's act, she's so jealous of me, I approached Tom and tapped his shoulder before I called a taxi heading back to hospital. My parents trying so hard to convince me to go back home, but I just come to the company to finish the filming, Tom and I are working together along with Emma and Jasmine, Jasmine's role is Liah's antagonist who loves Gio but things goes complicated when Jasmine throws a tantrum for not being Liah. They recasted Jasmine's role and a lot of rumours that Tom and Jasmine are engaged when my parents and his parents already arranged me and Tom's marriage. "Another paparazzi again! How can I go out to continue this filming if there's a lot of paparazzi." - Emily "We'll set things later, we called a police to take them out, Jasmine you shouldn't brought them here." - Mom "They want to know about my relationship with Tom it's not my fault." - Jasmine "Your fault." - Us "Okay sorry." - Jasmine All the militar and police are outside to take all them out, Tom is so annoyed at Jasmine's attitude, he told her to back off but she cried like a baby.
