5 - Careful

A/N: Hi! So ahaha... remember when I said I would update every week...? Unfortunately, I have been a tad busy with tests & tournaments, so I had no time to update :(. I don't think I have anymore tests soon/upcoming, so I'll do my best to update and make up for it!

(also 600+ views! ahhh thank you guys so much)

(Stay tuned for a short poll at the bottom of the chapter!)

POV Sophie

"No- Absolutely not." Fitz argued. Even under the dark roof of the limo, it was evident that his eyebrows were raised in concern. Sophie had never played Truth or Dare before, so she looked around, wondering what was so bad about the game. Was it really this horrible?

"Come onnnn. Do you want me and Dex to make your head go bald like Stina from the other day?" Keefe snickered as he fist-bumped Dex. The two snickered and looked back at Fitz, waiting for a reply.

"I'd rather be bald." Fitz mumbled as he leaned back into his seat. He rolled down the window so that he could see the rain behind the tint of the windows. The sound of the rain grew louder as he rolled the window back up.

"Oh really..." Keefe began slyly just as Biana screamed. 

"The rain got onto my dress!" She grabbed napkins from her purse and immediately tried to fix the tragedy. It was a bit of an exaggeration, after all, there was just a few droplets that hit her dress. To Sophie's relief, Biana's scream avoided the game she was quite dreading to play.

The limo stopped just as Biana finished.

"We are at our destination. Pizza hut." Sandor coughed out. 

One by one, each actor and bodyguard stepped out of the car, and into Pizza Hut.

-------------------

POV Keefe

The restaurant wasn't too full of people-- just any average fast food place. The diners still took endless amounts of pictures and squealed. This was nothing new to Keefe, but he couldn't help but notice that Sophie looked a little bit nervous. He walked closer to her and whispered. "Don't be nervous, Sophie. Just act normal."

Sophie nodded and smiled brightly. For some odd reason, Keefe began to feel nervous-- but he shook off the feeling. Maybe he should give some of his advice to himself as well. 

"Well, what does everyone want?" Fitz questioned. Keefe was looking forward to just plain cheese pizza since he was vegetarian-- though Biana was forcing him to be vegan. 

"Combo pizza!" Brielle cheered. Sophie nodded shyly and also wanted combo pizza. 

"I'll just take pizza with some pineapple pieces." Dex hummed while looking through the menu. Keefe stared in confusion.

"Pineapple?" Keefe, Sophie, and Biana all said at once.

Dex then went on a rant about the benefits of pineapple pizza and a comparison of different toppings-- up until the waiter came. After taking the orders though, a swarm of reporters entered the restaurant. 

"Oh no." Keefe heard Sophie whisper to herself.

"Mary Smith reporting live on XYZ News. The cast of upcoming movie The Void is here at a local Pizza Hut after a long shoot. In the front we have model Gabrielle Quartz, singer-songwriter Keefe Sencen, popular actor Fitz Vacker, actress and style icon Biana Vacker, gadget maker and actor Dex Diznee, and little-known rising actress Sophie Foster." The reporter boomed. 

"Wait wait wait. Put the camera that way, that's my good side." Keefe laughed. He suddenly noticed Sophie was looking a bit pale. "Guys, let's just go back and order pizza at Forkle's"

While the paparazzi followed them, the group of actors were protected by their bodyguards as they headed to the limo.

"C'mon... lets call Director Davis right now. What are we going to doooo? Should we just get back to the set and order delivery?" Dex suggested.

The group nodded as Sandor dialed the director's phone. 

***

"Director Davis?" Sandor mumbled while Ro guarded the group of actors. 

"Yes?" The speaker sounded.

"There seems to be an issue. A crowd is forming at Pizza Hut right now... there's no way to escape, and the weather isn't good, so we can't have any long drives."

"Okay, that's fine. Drive back to Mr. Forkle's set. If the weather gets worse, then you might have to stay. Perhaps the actors can rehearse their lines for filming next week. I left a stack of scripts on the desk, and though I am unable to come right now, the food is on me."

Though this was nothing unusual to Keefe, it felt like a new world. Walking under the pouring rain with other actors and bodyguards while the squealing of fans echoed around him.

But why was this different?

A change of fate.

A change of heart.
