Chapter Two

"You can do this Cassie. You are centered. You are balanced. Stress does not exist." Cassidy sat in the car for a few moments, doing some deep breathing she had learned in meditation, it helped to keep her calm and focused. Maybe she wasn't ready for this... "Yes you are! Now get your ass out there." She told herself.
With a final deep breath she opened the car door and walked toward the front door of Ward Tanner's home. She was going to do a screen test with Orlando Bloom today and a lot was riding on this. They needed chemistry, she needed to be good, no, great and she had to convince Orlando that she was right for this role. Ward had confided that Orlando was hesitant about Cassie, she had to win him over. Two years ago Cassie would have fucked Orlando to get the role, no two years ago Cassie was too fucked up on oxys and coke to even try to audition for a role but she was different now, she valued herself now and wouldn't debase herself for a role. She had enough money left if she never acted again she would be fine. But she loved acting, she wanted to do it again.
Ward's assistant was waiting at the door for her and led her through the house to the huge room that was Ward's office, this is where she had met him previously, he was sitting at a large table with Orlando, Cathy Jones who was the casting director and a camera guy was fiddling with a camera in the corner of the room, readying his equipment for the actual screen test.
"Cassidy, you're early but perfect timing." She noticed Ward gave Orlando a knowing glance as he greeted her. He introduced her to Orlando who nodded and stood to shake her hand with a 'nice to meet you' and though he smiled, his body language seemed very closed off to Cassie. Taking a closer look at him Cassie couldn't help but notice how handsome he was, almost pretty, very, very pretty but still in a masculine way. Square jaw with a hint of stubble, a tumble of dark curls on his head, deep dark eyes, his nose was a bit beaky but that is what kept him from being too beautiful. 'Maybe I should sleep with him' She joked to herself.
"We want to test a few scenes Cassidy, I know you have done a couple of these scenes already for me and Cathy but we'll run them between you and Orlando and see how it goes." Ward passed her a few sheets and Cassie looked at them, two of them she remembered by heart from previous auditions the other one she recalled from the script but quickly read it over a few times, trying to capture the feeling of the scene, of her character's emotions. Despite all the drugs and booze she had done, she had managed to keep her photographic memory and quickly knew the lines for both her and Orlando. "Ready when you are." She told them looking up from the pages.
She wasn't what Orlando had expected, gone was the platinum hair she was known for, he wondered if the shiny mahogany was her true hair color. The bleached hair had aged her, making her seem much older than a woman in her twenties, although the drugs had taken their toll, the fresh country life had brought a bloom to her cheeks, she had a light tan, no make up on and a youthful exhuberance. He had seen her once, out at a club one night, she had been wearing a teeny dress that kept riding up her butt, exposing her ass cheeks and thong, she had been an utter mess, makeup smeared all over her face, hair a tangled, matted mess. This seemed like a different person all together.
"You can use the sheets, I'm not completely off book yet." He informed her, he did have his lines memorized but even with his apprehension he wouldn't leave anyone floundering.
"Thanks. Which one first? And we're over there?" She pointed to the corner. He nodded and pointed to the sheet with scene four on it. The scene where they meet for the first time.
"Ok, Cassie you are working behind the counter in the truck stop restaurant. Small town girl, always dreamed of leaving the small town but getting pregnant and married at 17 changed all that. Now you work this shitty job, hate your husband and resent your kids. Orlando you are the mysterious drifter who planned to stop for a meal until you meet her."
Orlando mimed coming into a room and looking around and then stopping in front of Cassidy.
"Coffee?" She asked barely looking up from wiping a counter. He nodded.
"What's good today?" He asked a with slight southern drawl. He stared at her intently, eyes darting all over her, taking her in.
"The special is salisbury steak." She said getting a cup from under the counter and pouring a cup of coffee.
"Is that what you would have?" He asked her. She finally paused to take a good look at him, tilting her head to one side.
"No I would have the chicken pot pie, its made from scratch, the chicken is fresh and the vegetables are local. The salisbury steak is frozen."
"Then I will have the chicken pot pie" She pulled out the check book and began to write down his order.
"You driving one of the rigs?" She asked, not familiar with him as a regular. He shook his head,
"On a road trip."
"Where ya heading?" She asked, he just shrugged and asked her about local hotels.
"Used to be one on the other side of the interstate but that has closed down. Now you will have to drive to Cookston, its about 20 mins up the interstate."
"Well what is there to do in this town?" He asked.
She shook her head and gave a half chuckle. "Nothing." he stared at her, into her eyes.
"What do you do for fun?" She stared for longer than was normal between to strangers.
"Honey, there is no fun in this town."
"That was great guys! Really, really great. How did it feel?" Ward asked as the scene ended.
"Great." Cassidy said with a nod.
"It was good." Orlando agreed. Not committing to great, it was an easy scene without much emotion, he would reserve judgement until the heavy scenes.
"Great, ready for the next one?" Ward asked and when the two actors nodded, they took their places and started.
"What is this?" He asked, taking her chin in his fingers and turning her face to look at her eye.
"Danny had too much to drink again." She explained, trying to cover her black eye with her hand. He grabbed her arm and pulled her sleeve up seeing she had bruises up and down her arms.
"He did this to you? Because of me? He knows?" He asked pulling her into his arms; resting her face on his chest she cried. He rubbed his hands up and down her back.
"He won't let me be happy. He will kill me first."
"Jesus, Sarah. Lets go now. Let's leave this place. I'll take you anywhere you want to go."
"I can't. I can't...no I can't leave the kids with him. He yells at them so much as it is. If I leave...he would take it out on them." She shakes her head, tears freely running down her face.
"We'll take them too. I can take care of you all." He was almost frantic, kissing her hair and face.
"We can't..don't you see. Kyle needs a machine to breathe. He has to see the doctor all the time and he is in the hospital every couple of months, without Danny's insurance we couldn't afford Kyle's medical bills. And Ryan is beginning to develop symptoms. He's going to get just as sick as Kyle is." She covered her face with her hands. "I wish I could run away, its all I think about. Even before you came, I wanted to get in the car and keep driving to anywhere but here. But I can't."
He stroked her hair and was quiet for a long time. "I could take care of it." he finally said.
"What do you mean?" She asked, frowning and looking up at him.
"I could make Danny go away."
"Kill him?" She asked stepping back and looking fearful.
"I would do anything for you. I will keep you safe and make sure your kids aren't with a monster like him. You can get his insurance money and be ok. A person who beats a woman and sick kids doesn't deserve to live. I can make it look like an accident. When he is gone then we can be together." He took a step toward her.
"It...it won't hurt?"
"I promise it will be really quick, he won't even know." He told her.
"You would do that for me?"
"For us. We are so good together, the minute I saw you behind that counter I felt it. Don't tell me you didn't too." He said before taking her into his arms and kissing her mouth fiercely.
"I only want to be with you." She murmured against his lips, letting her hands wander up and under his shirt to feel his skin.
"We will be." He promised, kissing her more and backing her against the wall in heated embrace.
"Wow, someone get the AC turned up, it's hot in here." Ward said with a laugh pretending to fan his face as they broke the scene and broke their embrace. Cassie ducked her head and felt her face grow hot from the blush that was filling it , trying to convince herself that it was from Ward's praises and not the kiss, she hadn't expected to get butterflies in her stomach when Orlando held her...it was just acting. Mentally she chided herself and excused it as lack of physical human contact for so long. She stole a look at Orlando who was fixing his shirt after she had practically yanked it off and mentally cringed, he still wasn't looking at her. He was talking to Ward and Cathy.
"Yeah I think that was really good." He was agreeing with them. Nodding his head at whatever they were saying to him in hushed tones. She reached for a bottle of water and drank a few long swallows and then took a deep breath, the next scene was one of the most powerful in the film she thought back to the first meeting with her father after she was arrested for DUI, the first time, remembered his face, the sadness in his eyes, the grim set of his mouth, the horrible look of shame and disappointment he wore. She would use the emotion of that memory to power her through the scene.
"Ready Cassidy?" Orlando asked. She turned and faced him nodding, not wanting to speak and break her focus. Ward and Cathy quickly took their seats and the camera man signaled he was filming and the scene started.
"What did you do?" She shouted, confronting him.
"Sarah..." He tried to explain, his hands up and facing her to calm her.
"What did you do Jake?!" She yelled louder. "What did you fucking do?" She flung herself at him, pummelled him with her fists repeatedly, he could have stopped her but he let her go, let her hurt him.
"I did..." He tried again.
"It was supposed to be quick, look like an accident. Just him...not them... not my babies." She broke down, dropping to her knees and crying into her hands.
"I did what you asked me to do Sarah." He knelt too. She shook her head, pain and confusion evident on her face.
"No...I never asked..."
"Yes. Yes! You did, you want to be with me and only me. You told me that a million times. You can't take the boys with us and you don't want to stay here. You may not know it yet Sarah but I have done exactly what you wanted. What you needed." He explained, trying to take her into his arms, she wouldn't go to him, backing away on her hands.
"But they were just boys, barely more then babies." She whispered, crying more at the memory of them.
"They are better off now Sarah. No more suffering for either of them. Ryan will never know the pain Kyle lived with." He tried a new tactic now. She cried quietly, into her hands again before asking.
"How can I forgive you for killing them?"
'I have set them and you free Sarah." Reaching out to touch her again, this time she let him touch her, to life her face toward his, to look into her eyes. "I love you, we can be together now."
"How can I still love you?"
The scene was over and Cassidy was wiping her eyes with her hand, smiling shyly at him, Orlando could barely react, he watched as Ward practically ran over and helped Cassidy up to her feet and turned to him and offered a hand to help him too; he took it and stood, staring at her. She still had it, maybe better then before. She had poured out raw emotion in a fucking screen test, he had never seen anything like it. It was clear to him she was right for the role and if she could do this during an audition what could she do during the actual filming process? She could win an Oscar if she could repeat that performance. What could he learn from her? What could they pull off together? The chemistry between them was off the charts when they were in character, it was easy to touch her, to kiss her, it rarely felt so effortless with other actresses. Ward was sending her off now with a "thanks we'll be in touch" and it shook Orlando from his stupor.
"Hold up a minute, can I talk to you alone for a second?" He asked her and he saw the wariness on her face.
"Sure."
"I'll walk you to your car?"
"Sure." She repeated, grabbing her purse and saying goodbye to Ward and Cathy and thanking the camera man for his time. They had only made it about five steps before she turned on him. "I don't care how great this film is I am not fucking or blowing you for the role. Not even a hand job." She announced. And then he realized why she had looked so wary.
"Oh..no not that. I wasn't, wouldn't no, no no." He rambled. She stopped walking and folded her arms across her chest.
"Then what? I can't score for you either. I am clean now."
"No! Will you just stop trying to guess all the terrible things I could want from you and let me say what I wanted to say." He asked, running his hands through his hair.
"Alright." She relented, waiting for him to speak.
"I just wanted to tell you that you were amazing. I'd forgotten how good you were."
"Oh...thanks." She seemed uncomfortable with the praise.
"And I know I was the lone hold out for you as Sarah and I wanted to say that I want you... no, I wanted to ask you would be willing to take a chance on this film with us. With me? I am no where near as good as you but I'll give it my all."
"No, you were pretty good. Better then I thought you could be." She laughed and he laughed too.
"Yeah well..thanks. So I know the insurance company is going to put loads of restrictions on you but if it's not too much to ask I hope its a yes. I think we, you and I, could do something amazing here."
"So do I Orlando and it is definitely a yes. And I don't care about restrictions, I have been living with them for two years now. I just want to act again and if you and Ward take a chance on me I promise I won't let you down."
"Well great, I guess I'll see you on set.
"You too. Bye."
