Anyone // Owen Joyner

one

I flop on my bed in exhaustion. I've been packing all my stuff for the past couple of hours.

Tomorrow I'm flying out to Vancouver to film a new Netflix show, Julie and the Phantoms.

I'll be there filming for four months, so I couldn't wait. I already met my roommate, Savannah. She's super sweet and we've talked everyday.

My brother, Cameron, walks in and looks around at everything. He sighs as he leans on the doorframe.

"It's gonna be weird not having you around." He admits. Even though we have a big age gap, we've always been super close.

Probably because I've always looked up to him. We spent a lot of time together when he works on Shameless.

I hang out on set a lot, especially when I have free time. I grew up with a lot of the cast, even though I wasn't on it.

Ethan and I have grown a close bond and he's like a second brother. I sit up to look at him.

"I'm nervous, but excited." It wasn't my first acting gig, but it's the first one where I'll be away from my family.

He comes over and sits in my office chair. "You're gonna be safe, right?" He asked being protective.

"I promise. If anything happens, I'll message Noel." I've always loved Noel.

Even though he plays a tough ass on Shameless, he's a sweetheart in real life.

Cameron smiles and stands up. "Get some rest, lil sis. I'm driving you to the airport tomorrow." He messes up my hair and walks out.

I go to sleep with a smile on my face, excited for what's to come.

The whole process of going to the airport, saying goodbye to my big brother, and flying to Vancouver was exhausting.

But once I was landed, I was excited. Savannah should already be in our shared apartment. I call an Uber once I have all my bags and wait.

After twenty minutes, I'm inside my Uber, on my way to my apartment.

I couldn't wait to see Savannah again, I could feel all the jitters.

When I get it my complex, I grab all my bags and head inside. I click on the number four button in the elevator.

When I get to apartment, I move the door handle, and it's unlocked. I go inside to hear music playing.

"Savannah?" I ask out loud. I saw her run out of her room, and smile when she looked at me.

"Eren!" She squealed. I dropped my bags and ran to her.

We hugged in the middle of the living room. After a minute, we let go.

"How was the flight?" She asked crossing her arms around her chest. "It went really good." I smile.

I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear as I look around. It was a decent sized apartment.

"Here, I'll show you you're room." She helped me with my bags and took me there.

It was already furnished, there was a bed, and a desk with an office chair.

There was a dresser with a tv standing on top of it. "I'll let you unpack, tell me if you need anything." She smiled.

I nodded my head as she walked out. I unpack my bags and set everything up. When I unpack all my clothes, I set up my PC.

Whenever I'm free, I stream on twitch and I play some games.

I don't do it professionally, but it's a fun side hobby I have.

People like it whenever I stream with Ethan because we joke around a lot when we play. Once I had everything done, there was a knock on my door.

I turn to see Savannah. "So the guys are having a dinner night and wanted to know if we wanted to go." I look at her confused.

"The guys?" I fully turn to her. "Yeah, Charlie, Owen, and Jeremy." I remembered now.

They're also casted in the show, but I haven't gotten the chance to meet them yet.

"They live on the floor below us." She explain. "I'm down to go. I just got done with everything anyway." I look around my room.

I get up to grab my phone. I put my shoes on as we walk down the stairs. We knock on the door and wait for an answer.

I heard footsteps and the door swing open. A brunette boy was standing there in basketball shorts and a muscle tee.

"Welcome to the party apartment." He smiled. Savannah just rolled her eyes and giggled.

"Whatever. Charlie, this is Eren." She introduced us two as we walked. Charlie is playing Luke, the main guitarist.

I thought I recognized him. "It's nice to finally meet you." He gave me a side hug as I walked in.

"Same to you." It was nerve wracking being here, but I'll be working with these people for a few months.

We walk in to two boys sitting on the couch, the blonde one scrolling through his phone and the other brunette strumming on a bass guitar.

The blonde looked up at Savannah and smiled. It looks like they already know each other.

I introduce myself to the boys, the brunette being Jeremy and the blonde being Owen.

Savannah, Jeremy, and Charlie were trying to figure out where to eat while I sit on the couch with Owen.

"Did you fly in today?" He asked making conversation. I nodded as I looked at him.

"I got here a few hours ago, you?" I ask curious. He shook his head. "We got here a few days ago." He explained.

I learned that him and Charlie live here and Jeremy lives with his fiancé, Carolynn.

We talked for a little bit, and I learned a lot about them. He's only a year older than me and he's been a couple of shows before.

The other three walked in and sat around us. "We thought we would order a pizza, that cool with you two?" Charlie asked looking at us.

We nodded as he called it in. I can hear a slight Canadian accent in his voice.

Owen sticks his head in his hands and makes a farting noise. I giggle as Charlie tries to not laugh.

I make my lips wet and I join in. Charlie let's out a little laugh and stands up.

He goes into the kitchen to finish up the order. Owen and I look at each other and start laughing.

"I like you already." Owen told me as he calmed down.

"I could say the same about you." I smile towards him.

Charlie walked back shaking his head. "Children." He laughed along with us.

I can tell I'm going to get close with these people.
