—Bob and Eliza are "secretly" dating—
Eliza's POV
Today we're filming for the last episode that Alycia's going to be in before she leaves us for Fear The Walking Dead. Although I'm happy for her, it's still sad to see her go so soon.

When Alycia enters my field of vision I run up to her and hug her. She stumbles back a bit before saying "Well hello to you too, Eliza." I could feel her giggle as she hugged me back. "You're really gonna leave us? Your family?" I said after pulling away and pouting. We began walking more towards set and she says "I have to. This is a huge opportunity for me, Eliza. Besides it's not like I'm never gonna see you again." I nod before responding, still in a sad tone. "I know, I'm just gonna miss you. We should set a day we all hang at my place at least every month. Me, you, and Marie. It'll be like old times." We both stopped at the guy holding the candy, reaching to get some while Alycia says "Hell ya! I can't miss our jam sessions!" I laugh at her enthusiasm and we continue our conversation, words coming out easily... until someone else joins.

"Hey." A mans voice says, causing both Alycia and I to loose focus in our conversation. We finally break our gaze in each others eyes to look at the new person standing there. I see Bob standing there and I say "Oh hey." while giving him a small smile. Alycia seemed uncomfortable and says "Alright I'm gonna go get ready... see you when we're getting ready to shoot, I guess?" She backs up, our eyes still locked. "Yeah." I say before she turns around and starts to walk away. "Wait, Alycia." I say before running and pulling her in a hug as she turns around. She seems shocked at first but then hugs back. "I'm gonna miss you so much." I whisper in her ear. "I'm gonna miss you too. It's gonna be fine." She says as she pulls my head from being nuzzled in her neck. She places both hands on my cheeks and gives me a reassuring nod and smile. Right before she leaves she places a quick kiss on my cheek and walks away.

I watch at Alycia gets further and further away but am pulled from my trance when I feel a presence next to me. Looking over, I see Bob looking at me with emotionless eyes. "I don't want you to hang out with her anymore." He states, words rolling off his tongue like nothing. I give him a confused face. "What do you mean? I can hang out with whoever I want!" I say getting a bit annoyed. He grabs my waist, a bit aggressively, and looks into my eyes. He puts on his best smile and says "I just want to know your mine. My princess. No one else's." I look into his eyes and smile. How the hell does this man have to power to make me do anything? "Ok." I said. Although I didn't intend to fully follow this rule, I still want to please him. He placed a quick kiss on my lips before walking away towards hair and makeup. How am I so in love with that man?

Finishing the last scene with Alycia, where Lexa dies, was very difficult. (sorry spoiler alert, but you should've expected that) I mean I guess acting wise it was easy because the tears came naturally. My friend was leaving... how could I not cry? After the scene ended I pulled Alycia in for a hug. We were both crying but I saw Bob looking at me from behind the cameras. He gave me an angry look and I pulled out of the hug with Alycia, quicker than I usually would. She looked confused at first but seemed to brush it off quickly. She got up from her "death bed" and hugged everyone else as they all clapped. "And that's a wrap on Alycia Debnam-Carey!" Jason said and everyone roared louder. I watched as Alycia blushes and said her thank you's around the room. I could see her tearing up at all the love she was getting. I couldn't help but be sad that I wasn't allowed to give her that love. Watching Alycia, I still had tears coming down my face from the scene and was pulled out of my thoughts by someone clearing their throat next to me. I looked over to see Bob and gave him a hug immediately. "Listen, Eliza, it only makes me uncomfortable that you two are so close because she's bisexual. I don't want her catching feelings when you're all mine." Bob said into my neck as we hugged. I nodded not knowing what else to say.

Although Bob seemed a bit harsh by telling me to now see Alycia I understand his point. He's just looking out for me and maybe even Alycia. If she caught feelings I wouldn't want to hurt her by choosing Bob. His plan is for the best.
