SCENE

"And cut! That's a rap people, thank you all for the hard work, remember tomorrow we're shooting the forgiving scene, so please everybody practice your lines! Mackenzie! My Julius, beautiful performance today, keep it up." The director says patting me on the shoulder. Myles looks at me and sticks out his tongue.

"Beautiful performance, Mackenzie, keep it up." He mocks. "Man, you're his favorite." He pouts. I laugh at Myles weird humor and start tapping my starbucks coffee. Myles mocks the sound of my ticking and I stop. "Sorry, it's just, any news from Nathaniel?"

"I tell him to talk to you, I do, but he just ignores me." Myles sighs and I grab my arm. I didn't want him to ignore me anymore.

It's been a month since the hospital, I barely see Nathaniel and every time I do he walks past me like I don't exsist. I had a break from him ignoring me during christmas, I went to Canada to visit my mom. When I got back, everybody I knew, knew I was canadien and has been teasing me about it, everybody but Nathaniel.

I was sure when he found out he'd tease me about it, but he didn't even make eye contact. I didn't understand him. If he was embarrased it could be solved with a simple talk. If he was angry with me, all he had to do was talk to me and I'd understand.

Knowing that Nathaniel is gay, doesn't change the fact that he's my friend, I wouldn't change infront of him anymore, but I still wanted him to be there, cause even though, he's an ass, he always knew how to make me laugh, and the only person I could be myself without him influencing my emotions.

"That's it, I'm done, I'm giving him a piece of my mind." I stand up and put on my winter clothes after throwing away my half-full starbaucks coffee. I put on a hat, a scarf, gloves, boots and a red winter coat. I leave the warehouse and run to the apartment building. I queeze my way into the next elevator, and run out once it reaches the second last floor of the building.

I barge into Nathaniels apartement and yell his name. "Jax! Get your ass out here!" I walk to the kitchen and see him only wearing a towel, just out of the shower. He looks at me speechless.

"I'm done with your shit, Nathaniel." I never use his first name to adress him and the fact that I did today made him know that I'm serious.

"Stop ignoring me. Are you embarrased about how you treated me even though I didn't know you were gay?" He didn't say a word. "Fuck this!" I walk up to him I grab his towel wrap it around his neck and pull it towards my face.

"I don't give a shit about how you treated me or wether you we're flirting. You're my friend! But if you don't stop ignoring me, I'll stop caring!"

Nathaniel gulps and sighs in relief. He hits my forehead with his, and takes the towel back from me to wrap it around his waist. I backed up once his head hit mine. "I've never been good at facing my problems." He said crossing his arms.

"Oh? So you speak, I thought you went mute." I say sarcastically. He furrows his eyebrows and looks at me apologetically. He walks to the living room and sits on the couch. "I always face my problems from running away, but you head for the eye of the storm huh. I was hoping you'd yell at me sooner." He says laughing.

I followed him to the living room and sat beside him. When he spoke to me, I felt happy. Happy that he wasn't ignoring me anymore. "Snow, I'm sorry."

"You're calling me Snow now too?"

"Well yeah, I was the one who made it up and you don't like being called Mack, you're hair is almost white and you came from Canada, that place is like the snow capital." I laugh at his remark. "Whatever, Canada is better than the U.S. and always will be." Nathaniel looks at me insulted.

"No you canadiens are the worst, aie." He said mockingly.

"Wow, you know not all of us do that. Aie, is just sterotyping canadiens" I look at him smiling, then he laughs. "What?"

"I hated ignoring you over the last month, I came up with so many burns and roasts that it pained me that I couldn't say them." I push him. He gives me the remote to the TV and leaves to go and change. I got comfortable and layed down on the couch. His couch was more expensive, and more comfortable than my couch but he didn't have any pillows.

On the TV, I didn't feel like watching netflix so I went on cable. I surfed the channels for a show and finally settled on something uninteresting, the news.

'MNKS has just announced a world tour coming this summer singing their new album.' Said the spokes person. 'Changing subjects, the heartfelt movie, mid-summer lights, will be released this summer. Noah Campbell, the main character being played by super-star himself, Myles Clove from the band MNKS. The second main character, Julius Young played by a Mackenzie Barnes, a young man, hoping to reach the top of fame. Will he surprise us with good acting or will he disappoint?' I turn off the TV.

'Dissapoint? Please.' I thought while siting up. Nathaniel walks out fully dressed. Khaki pants and a tight gray shirt. He was bare foot and put his foot in my face. "Get those out of my face." Nathaniel laughs and sits beside me.

"By the way, I'm glad we're friends, and I'm surprised you admitted it."

"Don't get cocky, I'd never admit it in public. But I'm glad too."

"I'm not gonna be nice to you though, I have a month to catch up on, for insults." I shake my head, Nathaniel wraps his arm around my neck and we laugh.
