Callie

Tonight is different from all the other times I walked the red carpet with Wyatt. His movie premiere is tonight and in two weeks he has to fly to London where it will premiere there. I, however, am not going to London with him. Tonight, in fact, is my last red carpet walk. Ever, if I have anything to say about it.

Instead of the big, fake smile I usually give the cameras, tonight all they get is a lackluster half-smile that doesn’t reach my eyes. I’m tired of faking every minute of my life. I’m tired of having to be around people I can’t trust and who don’t trust me.

I think that is what hurts the most about my brother and Wyatt’s little game - they didn’t trust me to do my job and keep someone safe…not even myself. Thinking about it has my jaw clenching and I’m sure instead of a romantic movie star’s lover I probably look like I am constipated. And in a way, I guess I am. I’m not moving, I’m stuck right where I am, and I can’t move forward or backward until I find a way past the blockage in my life.

Thinking about my brother as a big stinky turd has me actually smiling for real for the first time since all of this happened. I am so focused on the image of my brother that I don’t realize Wyatt is being pulled away from my side again. I turn but spot my brother off to the side, dressed in a suit and standing watch. Everyone agreed that heightened security was a must tonight even if the stalker found out about us.

It's not really an unusual thing, being alone. Since I found out about the deception, I’ve been walking away from Eli and Wyatt every time they start to speak. I don’t want to listen to their lies or fake apologies. So, it takes me a minute to realize Delilah has snagged Wyatt again and the two of them are busily talking about something I’m sure is very important. I literally roll my eyes, not being able to contain the sarcasm.

Someone shouts and commotion grabs my attention and makes the little hairs on the back of my neck go up right before a pop goes off and someone screams. Then all hell breaks loose, and chaos surrounds us. I start to head towards Wyatt to get him the hell out of here when I hear another loud pop and this time the screams are louder, and heat hits my upper arm causing me to fall back against other people around me. It takes me a second before I actually realize I’ve been shot. And the force of it has knocked me off balance. I start to fall as the people I’ve bumped into start to move away from me. I realize if I go down, I’m going to be trampled by the scared people trying to find cover. But it doesn’t help me
