A few hours in the morning changes everything - part five
Sorry that it took me so long to update. Holidays got to an end and now my working life has me back. And thanks to my friend who help me, find a way to continue this story.
Disclaimer: The usually stuff. I don´t own the person and don´t want anybody to be hurt about this.
Chapter Five
A few days later on the set again
The last days were tough for everyone on the set. Hayden, because she wanted to talk to Milo so desperate about what happened. But she respected his wish to give him time. Jack, while he saw how distressed Hayden was and Adrian because he worried about Milo and he had some emotional difficult scenes behind him. Milo still searched for a way to handle the situation with Hayden and to get his life back on track. All of this made the atmosphäre on the set a bit awkward and exhausting.
Adrians Trailer
Adrian: How are you feeling? You still look not good.
Milo: It is a daily struggle.
Adrian: I know, but you are not allowed to give up.
Milo (smiles a little): Yes, big brother….but it hurts every second I be around her…I see, she tries her best to not hurt me anymore…but just to see her…
Adrian: I promise you, it will get better. Yeah it is a bit lame and it doesn´t make you feel better right now. But believe me things will get better. It is a long painful road until it gets better but I will be there for you every step on it. And not only me, your mother, your sisters, Natalie, my two boys we all love you and we all help you as much as we can.
Milo: Thank you - but enough of me, what about you? You doesn´t look any better then I am.
Adrian: I am only a bit tired - the last days were tough. The scenes I am working on right now are pretty stressfull.
Milo: And to make matters worse - you have to worry about me, too…sorry.
Adrian: Stop that! What are friends for, if you can´t talk to them, when you feeling bad.
Milo (unassertive): Sure, anyhow I will leave you now, so you can rest a little.
Adrian: Thanks and I will.
Catering area - two hours later
Although Adrian had slept two hours, he didn´t felt refreshed. The hunger got him out of his bed and now he stood at the buffett. For a few seconds he had the feeling that his legs couln´t hold him any longer. He got is hold on the table and took a few deep breaths.
“Is everything alright” Christine, who stood next to him asked concerned.
“I´m fine” probably I just need something to eat - I am starving.” Adrian responded.
“Are you sure?” Christine asked further.
“Please, don´t worry” Adrian answered with a little smile.
The rest of the day nothing exciting happened. Business as usual. The crew prepared all the needed stuff for the next scenes and the cast filmed them with no interruption. At 9 pm Adrian and Milo were finished. They sat in the make up trailer and didn´t spoke much. Both were exhausted and glad with the silences.
Then Milo said goodbye to Adrian, who stood up from his chair, ready to leave. From that point on everything happened really quickly. All of his face colour were gone and in the next moment Adrian hit the floor. Milo jumped up from his chair but couldn´t catch him. He kneeled down next to him and pat his cheek. “Adrian…Adrian…wake up” Milo screamed but nothing happened. “We need an ambulance, quick!” he said to Debbie the make up artist.
In the hospital
Milo, Hayden, Jack and Christine were waiting in the ER for news about Adrians condition. Someone had called Natalie and she was on her way.
“What happened?” Christine asked Milo. “I don´t know” Milo spoke inwardly.
“What do you mean with this? You were there and saw it all and now you only comes up with a - I don´t know! You can´t be serious! He is your friend - almost like brothers and you give me a stupid - I don´t know!” Christine said all the more louder.
After a small time of silences Milo began to speak again. “We sat in the make up trailer and didn´t talked much, then he was ready to leave and arised from his chair.” He swallowed. “Once he got up he became white like a wall and crashed to the ground.”
“And then?” This time Jack was the one who had asked.
“Ambulance came and now we wait.” Milos response was nearly inaudible.
“But why…Jack kept talking only to be interrupted by Christine.
“Todays lunch break - he stood at the buffet and for a moment he had to grap the table. He said that he hadn´t enough eaten and that I shouldn´t worry.” She told them. “Did anyone of you notice also something like this?”
“I spoke to him this morning and told him that he didn´t look good. He said that he was tired from shooting difficult scenes.” Milo mentioned. “I left him after that, so that he could get some much needed sleep.”
“It was more then that, ok…his scenes weren´t easy but it was all things coming together I think. The working stress…his worries”…Jack hesitated for a moment and then he carried on…”about Milo and the whole situation…”
I know that it is my fault - you don´t have to tell me this. Milo said it with a much louder voice then before. He couldn´t stay any minute longer, so he stood up and went a few steps and he didn´t stop until he came to the hospitalchurch. He stepped in and took a place on one of their seatbenches.
That is it for now maybe I continue tomorrow. I hope you all like the new part and feel free to review. It would be much appreciated.
