                     You were one of the three that was notorious for breaking during a scene. The air was always filled with laughter and your glowing smile. You found that during troublesome scenes, humor was the best tension reliever.

                      Today, you were cramped in a dark room. Cameras and light crew, filling the area. You were filming a scene with Bella, Pedro and Anna; One of the first episodes to release. Clickers chasing you, sweaty hands encased with Bella's and the constant dimming of lights; resulting in a loud 'thud' and 'ow's' emitting into the air.

                     The lights had turned on, shedding a bright illuminescent wave onto the view of you and Bella tangled on the ground. "Are you guys alright?" one of the directors asked. Only to be replied by the sound of your laughter. You held Bella to the ground, arms wrapped around them as you broke down. They were looking at you, admiring your face as it glowed bright red from your cheeks hurting.

                   "Yeah, we're fine!" Bella said, still looking at you.

                   "Alright, lets take five!"

                    The rest of the cast moving over to respected spots of the set, watching you as you gave out to the strong laughter. It warmed their hearts to see you be yourself, even in a high stress environment. The laughter left the room as quickly as it arrived. Composing yourself and pulling Bella up from the harsh ground. Your break ended, sending the four of you back into character. 

                    Starting from the beginning, running hand in hand with Bella while being chased by a clicker. Staggering to a table, landing harshly under it. You hit your head on the bottom, a loud 'bang' protruding through the thick silence. "FUCK!" you yelled, hand quickly going to your head. It hurt but it wouldn't damage. Everyone stopped what they were doing, wondering what could happen. "I'm fine!" you hissed in pain, "Lets just keep going, it adds personality to the character!"

                   For a second time that day, laughter filled the air. But not yours, Bella's. Their laughter was loud and unique, hand covering their mouth to muffle the sound. It was a new ring of sound. You looked over at her, her cheeks bunching up and eyes squinting as they laughed, they were peering at you. The look you two shared caused more giggling.

                  The two of you sat under the table, hand on your head and theirs on their mouth. Laughing at each other, being sprung into a fit. You sat there next to each other, the cackles and crows coming from those around you. 

               It was an odd sight, two teens laughing from the pain one felt, a group of adults being contaminated with the medicine and clickers, falling out of character. It was one of the many things people looked forward to when they arrived to work, the unlikely sight of teen actors being teens.
