INVISIBLE STRING | BRADY NOON

behind the scenes

AMY'S POV:

"meet me in the pouring rain, kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain"

As the days rolled on during the filming of "Good Boys 2," I found myself caught in a whirlwind of feelings. The pressure of shooting scenes and waiting for the movie to come out weighed heavy on my mind. But in the midst of all the craziness, there were these quiet moments that felt really special, where I felt close to my castmates.

Every morning, there was this buzz of excitement as we got ready to dive back into our roles. The bond between us actors and the crew was so strong, you could practically feel it in the air. Even though the days were super long and exhausting, there was this feeling like we were all in it together, working towards something important.

But in between takes, when things slowed down a bit, that's when the doubts would creep in. I'd start worrying about messing up, about not being good enough. What if I disappointed everyone? What if I let down the people who believed in me? Those thoughts would gnaw at me, making it hard to focus sometimes.

Feeling overwhelmed by the weight of the past few days, I needed an escape. Just as if the universe heard my silent plea, rain began to fall. I stood by, watching as the sky turned all ominous and dark, like something out of a movie. The wind picked up, and you just knew a storm was brewing. Everyone else was scrambling around, trying to pack up and find shelter from the coming downpour.

But not me. I couldn't resist the urge to embrace the rain. With a smirk on my face, I dashed out into the open, feeling those first droplets splatter against my skin. Without a second thought, I stepped outside into the downpour, letting the raindrops wash over me.

As the cool water soaked through my clothes, I couldn't hold back the flood of emotions any longer. Tears mingled with raindrops, streaming down my face as I allowed myself to release all the pent-up stress and anxiety.

"Hey, Ames, what's up?" Brady's voice cut through the sound of the rain, and I turned to see him coming towards me, his expression full of concern.

"Oh, it's nothing, just... feeling kinda overwhelmed," I replied, trying to put on a brave face as I wiped away a stray tear.

But Brady could see right through me, stepping closer with a comforting presence. "You don't have to pretend with me, Ames. Whatever's going on, I'm here for you."

His words were like a warm hug, grounding me in the moment. "Thanks, Brady. Sometimes, it just feels like too much, you know? Like I'm drowning in my own thoughts."

Brady reached out, gently wiping away another tear. "I get it. But you're not alone in this, Ames. We're a team, remember?"

His touch sent a shiver down my spine, and I found myself leaning into his embrace. "Yeah, I know. Thanks, Brady. For everything."

But then, something shifted. Amidst the tears and the rain, I began to feel a sense of joy bubbling up from within me. The sound of raindrops hitting the ground became a comforting lullaby, and the feel of water droplets dancing on my skin brought a smile to my face.

In that moment, I surrendered to the childlike wonder of it all. I spun and danced in the rain, letting go of all my worries and simply embracing the beauty of the moment. For a brief, precious moment, I was free from the weight of the world, lost in the simple joy of playing in the rain with Brady.

As we stood together in the rain, a sense of connection blossomed between us, binding us together in our shared vulnerability.

Brady and I stood so close, practically inches apart, as he leaned in for a kiss in the pouring rain. It felt like a scene out of a movie; here I was, standing with the guy I'd been dreaming about, and all my worries just melted away. In this moment, I wanted to capture it, remember it.

But right before our lips could touch, we were interrupted by a voice. The director called us, breaking the magic of the moment. It was like a splash of cold water, snapping us back to reality.

Brady and I exchanged a disappointed look, both of us knowing that the moment had slipped away. With a sigh, we reluctantly stepped apart, the almost kiss hanging between us like a missed opportunity.

As we trudged back to the set, I couldn't shake the feeling of regret. It was just a kiss, but it felt like so much more. And as the rain continued to fall, washing away any traces of our almost kiss, I couldn't help but wonder what could have been.

BRADY'S POV:

"and I don't why but with you I'd dance in a storm"

"Yo, Con, you should've seen her today," I exclaimed, plopping down next to Connor in our trailer.

Connor glanced up from his phone, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. "What happened?"

I grinned, unable to contain my excitement. "So, we were out in the courtyard when it started raining, right? And Amy... man, she looked like something out of a movie. Her eyes were sparkling with laughter, and her hair was all soaked, framing her face perfectly."

A dreamy smile spreading across my face, I continued "But it was her smile that got me, Con. It was like the rain was washing away all her worries, leaving behind this pure, unbridled joy."

"Con, you won't believe how beautiful she looked today," I said, excitement evident in my voice as I leaned in closer to Connor.

Connor smirked, leaning back in his chair. "Sounds like something out of a movie.

"Yeah, it was like that," I agreed, a dreamy smile spreading across my face. "And then, we were standing super close, like, inches apart. I could feel my heart racing, and I swear, it was like I could hear hers too."

Connor's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Damn, sounds intense."

"It was," I admitted, my cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I was about to kiss her, Con. I swear, it was like the perfect moment, and I was so close to just leaning in and... and then the director called us."

Connor's expression softened, a knowing smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Man, that sucks. But hey, at least you had the moment, right?"

I nodded, a sense of contentment settling over me. "Yeah, I guess you're right. It was still pretty amazing, even if we didn't kiss. And who knows? Maybe there'll be another chance."

Connor clapped me on the back, a look of understanding passing between us. "Well, I'm happy for you, bro. Just don't let it distract you too much, alright? You know how messy things can get when romance gets mixed up with work. It's a recipe for disaster, trust me. You've got a good career going, don't let some crush on a co-star mess it up. We still got a movie to make."

His words hit me hard, the weight of his warning sinking in. "I get it, Con. I won't let it mess with my work, I promise. But... I can't shake this feeling about Amy. It's like she's different somehow."

Connor sighed, his gaze softening. "Just tread carefully, okay? I don't want to see you get hurt."

I nodded, feeling grateful for his concern. "Thanks, Con. I'll keep that in mind. But right now, I just want to enjoy what's happening."

evangeline:
this is honestly, my most favourite chapter so far...them having that moment in the rain is so magical, came straight out of a movie!

moment of honesty part 2, in case you couldn't tell, i used how aladdin describes jasmine in that one scene in the cartoon to write how brady describes amy (i also sneaked in a taylor swift song lyric somewhere in amy's pov)!!

also, i'm thinking of "bramy" as their ship name, what do we think??
