I’m on my way out of the dressing room when I start hearing voices drifting down the hallway from the studio. We’re in a different building today, a production cabin located on the front lot, where the big sound stages are spread out and actors come and go all the time.

I never felt so important like I did today, showing my pass at the front gate and walking right alongside the lead of one of Olivia’s favorite TV shows. Well, she was in her car while I was walking. But still, we arrived at the same time, at the same place.

The grey production cabin we’re in consists of two photography studios, a kitchen area, four small dressing rooms, and a waiting lounge. It isn’t so small that two productions can’t happen at the same time, but it isn’t too big either that from the lounge I can’t hear what they’re saying in the studio when the door is open.

“Davis is much better-looking in person,” a high-pitched voice says. I scoff, a part of me refusing to acknowledge that I agree with her. “And I was expecting him to be a douchebag, but he’s so nice.”

“I know,” another voice replies. This one is more affected by a valley accent. That fried effect crisping the words and grating on my nerves. “And you won’t believe what I heard,” she says, clearly excited about the gossip she’s about to share. There’s a tiny part of me that feels bad for eavesdropping, but I’m too curious to care.

“What?”

“Apparently,” the affected voice continuous, “Winter kind of like saved Cam from a gold digger. I didn’t get names, but I heard it was someone being with him for interest, you know? Then, like, Winter told him that. Opened Cam’s eyes. Apparently, they’re like super close. I didn’t know they were friends like that. Anyway, Cam broke it off with the girl, so he’s back in the market.”

I don’t listen to anything after the squeal of excitement they share at the news. My blood turns icy in my veins. I don’t need the names to know who they’re talking about.

It’s Winter’s fault that Cam dumped Julia. It’s his fault that my sister is hurting like I never seen her hurt before. She’s brokenhearted because Winter is a piece of shit with trust issues.

I feel my heart beating in my throat. I see red. If I could, I’d find Winter right now and…and… I’m not sure what I’d do because I can’t harm him physically, not with him being a good foot taller than me and a lot stronger, but I’d make him regret the day his path crossed with mine.
