Scarlett's POV
Dare not to get into the past of my parents, I pushed everything to the back of my head when I got out of Adrian’s car and joined the shooting scene. It’s not wise to hang your mind on a decade-old divorce case when you are shooting a young adult romance.
The main body of my story is the memory of the main characters, so we are shooting at a school for the first two months. Adrian’s alma mater was kind enough to allow the shooting of the campus, along with some classrooms and everything.
I chose it because Sebastian -- the origin of my male lead in the story -- also went here, along with Ava and me. This is where our story happened. Adrian taunted me about this choice, thinking I was making my dream of a happy ending with Sebastian come true in my movie. A girl saved by a boy, ended up getting into a sweet relationship with him before entering a happy marriage.
He was wrong.
I’m not the origin of the female lead in the movie. Ava is.
Sebastian might have saved me, but he never knew that. He thought it was Ava, and he made her the main character in his life.
I have always been the mean sister who was jealous of Ava and bullied her for getting the attention of the prince charming.
So I wanted my side of the story heard. I want the girl Sebastian saved to be with him. I want a story where she finds salvation when salvation stays and wants her. In the meantime, I want the girl who was ignored and misunderstood to say that any vicious doing she might have done was because she wanted love, too. I want the mean sister to be seen as also just another human being, who maybe, after her voice is heard, gets her own happy ending.
That was my original idea.
But after the abduction, I altered the storyline. I got greedy and I don’t want to just get her voice out. I want a happy ending for her. I added an Adrian’s in there. Well, not Aurora’s Adrian. I added a guy who loved the mean sister for who she is, not because he thought she was a racer when she wasn’t, but because she paints, and he found her anonymous piece and found her in the end.
This movie should be named: What if Sebastian Never Saved Me?
Ava wouldn’t turned into a jealous devoured snake; I wouldn’t have suffered ignorance for years; and Sebastian wouldn’t be trapped in a marriage he didn’t want.
