Here's a bit of it, please let me know what you think. 🔥

They have been rehearsing almost all day since 10 am and true the show is in good shape but there's still so much to work on, the previews have been going good for the past 2 weeks but there are still so many rewrites to do… which is precisely what she's doing right now.

Most of the cast had already left to sleep, everyone was genuinely just too exhausted to keep going which Derek obviously had issues with but they were almost done anyways, besides she just needed to make some arrangements on the lyrics of the Lexington song.

That was a problem on its own because it meant that the last ones here and working were her, Derek and Michael.

Ever since he came back she has been trying everything she could to avoid him as much as possible but there were moments when she just couldn't, he was a cast member of the show she was writing and she needed to be professional. Frank hated it, she knew that much and she had fired him before, she fought his return as much as she could yet he was still right here.

The other issue with him being here aside from causing tension in her marriage once again is that it made her realize that she still had feelings for him.

From the moment she met him up to the moment she fired him weeks ago now, she pretended that everything she shared with him was nothing, meant nothing, just a big mistake she was now over.

She couldn't have been more wrong.

When he got out of that car and their eyes met, she instantly knew that even for work, she couldn't end up talking alone with him.

It wasn't just because of Frank like she had been trying to convince herself but also because she still had too many feelings for him and she knew he would pull her back in even if he didn't mean to. His telling her that he was separated from Monica only reinforced that because ever since the crazy possibilities had found their way into her brain and she chased them off every single time. Still, they seemed to be relentless and come back.

It didn't matter though, she made her choice.

Deep in her thoughts, she barely noticed Derek getting ready to leave. "Right, guys I think we are basically done here for the night, big bad monster is going to get some sleep."

She smiles, people really see him worst than he actually is.

He was right though, they were mostly done she just had two lines she wanted to work on before calling it a night. "Yes, you should go," she says, waving Derek goodnight. "Michael, can you give me 5 more minutes?" There's surprise on Michael's face, he wasn't expecting her to ask him to spend any time with her, specifically not alone.

"Right, I'm going, don't stay up too late." Says Derek as he leaves the room, "Goodnight."

Both she and Michael tell Derek good night as he makes his way over to her.

"Did you need anything?" He asks as she finishes writing the latest changes to the scene before the song.

"Nothing much, I just made a few minor changes to the scene before your song and I wanted to run the new lines with you so I could hear if it works." One thing she doesn't understand is why she still feels so nervous each time she needs to talk to him.

Her theory so far is that she doesn't really know how to act around him, their history is too much for them to act like they're simple co-workers but at the same time, it's done and over and her husband is in the building so they can't really act as they used to either.

"Sure," He nods, "Do you want to read Marylin?"

She chuckles, they did that before and that's how she got the scene. "No, it's not necessary, here's your new lines if you could just run those and the first verse of the song?"

He nods again, "Do you mind if I sit next to you?"

Yeah, this is awkward. It seems she's not the only one who doesn't really know how to act around the other. "It's okay."

She doesn't really want to keep the awkwardness though, so she adds "Look, I know it's not easy, working together but we have to do it, I know I got a little…" She's trying to find the word, the word that is not her saying she was afraid she would fall back into his arms the second he talked to her. "Over defensive? At first?" He chuckles at that, they both know that's not exactly it but they're good at pretending, aren't they? "But you don't need to ask if you can sit next to me."

He smiles and nods at that, things get less awkward after that.

Yet, she's glad that they don't have much to do because she is having trouble focusing with him sitting right next to her. During the time they take to work, he keeps giving her this look, look he used to give her when he wanted to kiss her, when he wanted to get close to her but couldn't.

She hates that he's giving her that look and she hates that she can still recognise it.

Most of all though, she hates that her eyes are telling him the same thing.

It's been years, she doesn't understand why he still has this effect on her and what it means. She misses him when he's not around, has to hide a smile when she thinks about him or talks to him, she wants him close to her all the time…

All she knows is that those feelings are dangerous and send her on the wrong path.

They need to be done here so she can go back to ignoring him.

They're okay though, she managed to ignore him well enough lately, she's over him enough. As long as she keeps running they will be fine.

As promised, they wrap up pretty quickly, he does run his new lines and the song before she tells him he can go, that she'll be wrapping up anyway.

He leaves really quickly, barely tells her goodnight, understanding just like she does that they can't be alone for too long if the looks they exchange are any indication.

She loves being a writer, she has tons of big ideas but one thing she doesn't like is how long it takes to actually put the words on paper.

Once Michael's gone, as promised, she doesn't take long to wrap up and leaves to get to her room.

She texts Frank when she's on her way, he is most likely already asleep but at least he will know that she didn't overdo it again.

She doesn't rush to get to her room, she loves the feeling of being in a quiet theater, knowing so many beautiful things happen there and the magic that comes with creating them. Everything usually happens so fast in this world, it's nice to see it stand still for a moment before the craziness starts again the next day.

Once she gets into the elevator she's too lost in her thoughts about the previews and is completely distracted until at the last moment Michael slides in right as the doors close.

"Woah, huh, I'm sorry I didn't see you." She simply says, "I thought you were already in your room."

"No, I decided to go for a quick walk first to clear my head." She simply nods, stepping closer to the buttons and away from him.

"What floor are you stopping at?" She asks bitterly. For two weeks now she had no idea which room he was staying in which suited her perfectly fine, at least it would avoid being tempted to go to him.

[smashfeelingss]

and i keep trying to figure out, who you are to me, but maybe all that we are meant to be is beautifully unfinished.

[smashfeelingss]

Julia and Michael

+ seeing each other again.
