L O C A T I O N : MOVIE PREMIERE TIME
__________________________

"you guys go first, armin and i go last."

this was one of the moments where i was happy that pieck told me that me and my date went last. armin and i waited for the rest of the couples to leave the limo once it was empty, i rested my arm on armin's shoulder.

"im trying not to freak out right now." i stated. i wasn't the biggest fan of paparazzi or just flashing lights in general and when the door opened, that's all i saw.

armin rested his hand near my inner thigh, rubbing his thumb against the skin lightly. "dakota, look at me."

i raised my eyes to look at him, anxiety slowly falling from my body. "you got this, love." i swear my stomach fluttered with butterflies and i smiled at him. "what's with the eye contact all the time." i asked and he shrugged. "that's the only time i get your full attention."

"you have my full attention..."

"do i really though?"

"most of the time." i laughed a little, a knock coming from the outside of the door. "it's your turn, dakota." pieck called out. i sighed, but armin stopped me. "ill go first, then follow after me." i nodded and armin opened the door before stepping out. he looked back at me and held a hand out. i sighed, getting out and taking his hand.

i cringed from the flashing of the cameras and followed armin to the red carpet that was laid out in front of us. "you good?" armin spoke a little louder than normal due to the noise and i nodded. he wrapped his arm around my waist as we walked in front of the cameras clicking away, trying to find a good picture to post on the internet.

i turned away, placing my hand on armin's chest. "my nerves are shooting up right now." i told him before turning back around and smiling for the camera." armin turned towards my ear, whispering, "smile and make your way down the carpet. it'll be over before you know it." he advised and i nodded, continuing to smile as we moved down.

"DAKOTA! OVER HERE!"

"DAKOTA, RIGHT HERE!"

"CAN I GET YOUR RIGHT SIDE, DAKOTA?!"

i tried my best to give the paparazzi what they wanted, armin's arm still wrapped around my waist. "okay, this is my cue to bounce." armin said and i gave him a nervous look. "you got this, i'll be right down there." he pointed towards the end of the carpet which seemed so far away. "you gotta take some pictures by yourself, dakota." pieck came over to me and i groaned internally.

armin let me go and i was soon all alone on this huge ass carpet with camera's flashing in my face. i tried out some poses, smiling or doing a straight model face. on the outside, i looked fine but on the inside, i was screaming. screaming in pure fear about what my next move would be or if i would fuck up.

and i wasn't even finished.

once i got inside this building, my movie will premier and i would have nerves all over again while watching MY movie. the movie that i spent years making and creating from MY life. a time in my life that i didn't want to go back too.

"DAKOTA!"

"OVER HERE, DAKOTA!"

"LEFT SIDE, PLEASE!"

i worked my way down the carpet, smiling ever so often before getting off. "you did it!" armin exclaimed and i smiled, happily. "the rest are in the building." he said and i nodded, following him in as he slithered his arm around my waist again. "how you feel?" armin asked as we walked.
