-February 2019-
Josh's POV:
It's 5 AM, I have this horrible head ache due to the stress of everything that happened yesterday. I tried sleeping for a bit but it only made the head ache worse. And now I have to get to set.
"I heard that coffee takes a head ache away." Said Claire, she couldn't sleep either so she Face-timed me.
"Ew, I hate coffee, I don't know how mom and dad like it." I responded, brushing my teeth.
"Yeah, I guess..." She said.
"What's going on in that head of yours?" I asked, knowing she wasn't paying attention to our conversation anymore.
"I don't even know." She sighs. "You know, I always thought I wanted to be a cheerleader. I grew up with that. But now that I got kicked out of the team... I realized I'm not really passionate about it."
"Oh." I responded. She can't quit. She loves cheer-leading! "I know how you feel. I felt the same once." I connected with her.
"You wanted to be a cheerleader?" She said trying her best not to laugh.
"No, silly! I felt the same with theater. When I auditioned for my first musical I really didn't know what I was doing. Gosh, I was 8! I'm 18 and I still don't know what I'm doing! Image me back then!" I realized, making her laugh. "I didn't think much about becoming an actor. But then Winter went off to college, and told me her friend was looking for auditions for a car ad. So I gave it a shot, aaaaand I didn't get it." I laughed. "But those producers introduced me to other people who were also giving auditions, so I auditioned, but I didn't pass any of them. To be honest, I never thought of why I kept auditioning if I knew I was going to get a no. But like I said, I've never really had any idea of what I'm doing! Anyways, Winter called me and convinced me to audition for a Disney show. She told me I'd fit the character perfectly, so I auditioned and got the part-"
"Oh, stuck in the middle?" She asked.
"Yep. It was a nice experience. But after the show was over I didn't have anything to do. I didn't have a job or anything like that, so I went and auditioned for a couple of other things, but I didn't get anything. So I quit. I missed it for a day or two, but I wasn't going back because I kept getting 'no'." I said pausing to get in the car. "Buuuuuut, one of the people I met in my first audition called me. They were like 'Hey, our team thinks you have potential and we want you to audition for another Disney project.' and I was of course going to say no, but then I realized I had no life so I auditioned." I explained, making Claire laugh once again. "And I got the part! and now I'm here, a main character in a Disney series that doesn't even have an official tittle yet! And I don't know what I would've done if I had rejected the offer!" I finished, parking to get Starbucks.
"Seriously, all that just to tell me not to quit?" She asked yawning.
"No, I made you laugh too." I said taking more credit. "I didn't tell you not to quit. I'm just telling you to not let what other people say or do get to- wait hold on, I'm about to order." I paused. I could hear Claire crack up. I don't know why she laughed so hard, but it made me laugh a little too.
"Anyways," I said when I got back in the car. "Don't...." I paused realizing that Claire was still laughing. "Why are you laughing so much?" I asked.
"Becuase...." She said calming down. "When you were about to order you shifted your camera to the right, so I was able to the see man behind you..." She started laughing again. "He.... He didn't see your phone right away......And he was picking his nose..." She started laughing even harder. I started to laugh too. "But then...he.... he saw me..... and realized I was laughing....so he ran... he ran away!" She said in between laughs. I was kind of dumb but the way she said it made me crack up with her.
After a few minutes that we both calmed down I started again, "Don't let other people change what you wanna be. If you really don't want to be a cheerleader then ignore the last 10 minutes were I totally wasted my life. But think twice, it's easy to make an impulsive decision just because of the drama."
"You have smart advice Josh." She said with a smile. "Thanks, I really appreciate it."
Olivia's POV:
I woke up, still in Ethan's arms. He was sleeping peacefully, and I know he's tired from everything that happened yesterday so I didn't wake him up, leaving him a note.
Hi babe
I'm on set, I'll be there until 8, call me if you're going to come or not.
luv u
-liv
Ps. My mom is still very mad.
I called Matt and asked him if he could pick me up, I know I won't survive being in my mom's car for 30 minutes without crying or arguing. Fortunately, he said yes. I tried being as quiet as possible to not wake up my mom, but I was going to face her later anyways.
"Olivia." She said, right before I was out the door. I froze, knowing she called me by my first name. I turned around slowly. How in the world did she get here? I never saw her!
"Yes?" I asked, hoping for the worst.
"I don't ever want to see what I saw yesterday. Specially while you're still a minor." She said firmly. I nodded my head and went out the door, without letting her say anything else.
"Hi Matt." I said dryly.
"Liv? You okay?" He said, switching his gaze to me.
"Uh, yeah? why would you even ask that?" I said hiding my mix of emotions.
"I'm not sure, you seem a little.... off." He responded shrugging. I guess I make things too obvious.
"Oh. Well, how are you?" I asked while he started driving.
"I don't know." He responded almost in a whisper.
"Why?" I asked looking at him. His eyes were red and puffy.
"It's been really hard for me to do a distant relationship with Brookelynn. We Face-Time each other everyday, but... I- I really miss her." Matt said tearing up.
"Aww, Matty. You don't have to cry. I know how you feel. I'm in a relationship too. But I promise you this will only make you guys have a stronger bond." I say rubbing his arm. Then, I felt guilty for totally lying to him, saying that I was fine. So I told him what happened. The rest of the car ride was us comforting each other.
I was walking to my trailer when I saw Julia walking, so I decided to say hi.
"Hi Juj-" I paused to see that she was crying, so I immediately hugged her. "What's wrong?" I asked pulling away.
"My guinea pig died!" She said sniffling.
"Oh no! Willow?" I ask
"Yes! My poor baby!" She sniffled once again
"I'm sorry Juj. But those things only last like a year." I say, trying to make her feel better.
"WILLOW WASN'T A THING! SHE WAS MY DAUGHTER!" Julia responds with sass and sadness at the same time.
"Oh, sorry." I responds realizing I only made her feel worse.
"I'm gonna go to my trailer." She said walking away. Well.... That happened. I was standing in the middle of a bunch of trailers alone, I had no idea what to do. I'll guess I'll just go to my trailer.
While I was walking I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw Josh, so I smiled at him.
"Hi Olivia." He said uncomfortable. "Uh, Excuse me." He shifted me to the side and kept walking. I didn't even get a chance to salute him. And 'Olivia'? What happened to our nicknames?
Larry's POV:
"I hate my life!" Sofia complained.
"No, you don't. Sof, it's just a C minus." I responded.
"But I had a perfect score Larry! Now this C dropped my overall grade!" She complained.
"I know, but you can't always be perfect, Sof." I said opening my arms for a hug.
"I know! But It's a C!" She whined.
"It's going to be fine." I said hugging her. "You'll be able to get you're grade up. Trust me." I said looking at the clock. "But, I have to go to the Hair and Makeup trailer now, I'll see you in a few."
I was walking to the Hair and Makeup trailer but then I saw Dara sitting in the stairs of her own trailer.
"Dara? Are you good?" I asked walking up to her.
"No! I forgot to rehears my lines because I went out with my mom last night, so Tim had to cancel all my scenes today! I feel terrible!" She told me.
"Oh. I'm sorry-" I was interrupted.
"Hold on, Frankie is calling me." She said. After she hung up she told me that Frankie wasn't coming because he caught a cold.
"Wow, today is not the day, I guess." I said.
"I know right." Dara responded.
