SINCE BRADY had decided we were "on a break"... or whatever, I was dreading going to the studio today. We had to film Julie and Zach's kiss scene. Everyone on set knew we were dating, so I'm not sure how this would go over.

I ride to set alone, since I'd usually go with Brady but... we're not speaking, obviously.

When I arrive, I immediately walk to my trailer. I think I walked past Connor, but I'm honestly not sure because I'm too scared to look up. After all, he looks almost exactly like Brady, and I can't face that right now.

"Wait— Lauren?" I hear from behind me, and I turn around. Shit, it is Connor. I knew he flew in today.

"Uh... hi," I say awkwardly.

"Hi... Brady told me what happened. I'm sorry, Lauren. I didn't think he'd ever do that to you." Connor says softly, and I give him the realest smile I can muster.

"It's fine. I'll get over it... eventually." I mumble, and he lets me head to my trailer.

He seems super nice, but I just can't stand to be around him because he looks like Brady, which I hate myself for. There's no reason I should ice out someone nice because of Brady, but I can't help myself.

I put on what I was told to wear for filming today, and I head to the makeup trailer. Unfortunately I'm not the only one in there right now, Malachi and Brady are also there.

Brady.

"Hey, look who's here, loverboy." Malachi jokes, and Brady's head whips to mine, much to the makeup artists' dismay.

I avoid his eyes as I sit as far away from him as I can. Malachi looks between the two of us with a confused expression, and then goes on his phone.

"Oh shit..." he mumbles a few minutes later. "I didn't know, sorry."

Im assuming he asked Kate, since they're really close friends now. Brady mumbles something back to him, but I try my hardest to tune both of them out.

"Lauren, what do you think?" Malachi asks me, and I turn to him confused.

"Sorry, what?" I ask, and he smiles.
