"This is Ms. Ortega's apartment, Mr. L/N."  The Manager opens the door. The three of you step inside. You look around the entrance/Kitchen area. it's super clean and normal.  "So Ms. Ortega, please show your P.A. around will you?" Jenna annoyingly speaks to her manager.  "Yeah...sure." "Oh and Mr. L/N! Here are the schedules, paperwork, and everything needed."  The Manager hands you a big stacked folder. You take it.  "By the way, Y/N"  You reply  "Yes sir?"  "I'll tell you any other details or information after your shift, is that okay for you?"  "Yes, that's fine, sir."  The Manager takes his leave, leaving you and your friend, Jenna. 

"So...Y/N...How's life going for you?"  Jenna breaks the silence. You reply.  "It's going...meh..."  "So..what about you, Jen?"  Jenna smiles.  "It's been a while since you used that nickname...but it's going great! I became an actual actress!"   "That's great, Jenna!"  you reply 'happily'  "I still remember the little movies we made when we were younger. Do you still have the camera?"   "I think so? I don't remember exactly...I think my mom has it stored...somewhere."  Jenna replies. "How's she doing?"   "She's doing great. she's the one who suggested the idea."   "Really?"  "Yeah...she...did."  There's a brief moment of silence.  "Let me show you're room, Y/N."   "Please do, Jen."  you two walk towards a room. a guest bedroom to be exact. "Do make yourself comfortable, Y/N."  You place your stuff on top of the bed.  "Thank you, Jen."   "No, Problem!"

She takes her leaving. leaving you by yourself in the room. you change into loose clothes and lay in bed. after all, you are tired from the flight. taking a quick nap wouldn't hurt. you put your stuff away and lay in bed and fall asleep.

.......

"Y/N TAKE THE SHOT!!"  You jerk awake alerted, you breathe heavily.  "Jesus...Not this again..." Suddenly the room starts to decay.  "EVERYONE FALL BACK!!"   You place your hands against your ears and you shut your eyes.  there's a moment of silence then you open your eyes. you're not in your room anymore. your in a building that's covered in bullet holes. then a soldier grabs you by the shoulders and yells  "WE GOTTA GO NOW!"  Suddenly a bullet strikes the soldier in the head. he collapses dead. you back...you notice that you're in your military uniform and gear.  You start to run out of the building. once you make it to the street, it's littered with the bodies of the enemy, your comrades, and vehicles. You run down the road other soldiers do the same. you turn the block, there are other soldiers from the army. they keep running until they're met with gunfire.  "FALL BACK!" you yell. As everyone runs away to take cover or escape some are shot or bombed by explosions. You keep running. you close your eyes.

......

You open them. this time you are in the guest room it looks normal. guess you slept all the way till morning. you sit up.  "Fuckin' nightmares..."  You get off of the bed, step out of the guestroom and step into the kitchen.  Jenna is already there, pouring herself a cup of coffee.  "Morning, Jen..."  Jenna turns to look at you.  "Oh, Morning! how did you sleep?"  "Better than on a seat."  Jenna grabs another cup.  "Want some coffee, Y/N?"  "Yes please..."  You lean against the counter. still trying to wrap up the nightmare you witnessed...they're getting worse... "Here you go." Jenna places the cup of coffee in front of you. you take and take a sip. savoring the taste of the beans, sugar, and milk. you chuckle.  "What are you laughing at?"  "Nothing much...just been a while since I last had coffee."  "When was the last time you did?"  She leans against the counter facing you. "2018 was the last time I had coffee..." You mumble something.  "The last time it went to hell..."  "What was that?"  "Hm? Oh! Uh, nothing! Don't worry about it, Jen." Jenna takes another sip of coffee.  "Can I ask something?"  "Sure if I can answer it." You take a sip.  "What were you doing after I left?"  "Joined the Army...why?"  "Just wanted to know, especially since I was against getting a personal assistant. when I realized that it was you...I just had to ask."  "uh-huh...Your Manager told me how against you were at the idea."  Jenna looks at you eye to eye.  "Did he now?"  "Yes, Yes he did..."  You take another sip of coffee. "What did you do in the army?"  This stops you dead in your tracks. you lower the cup and just look at the ground.  "something wrong?" Jenna asks, worriedly.  "I don't wanna talk about it..."  After all, you are still struggling trying to handle PTSD (POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER)  You look at Jenna.  "Y/N Do you wanna talk about it?"  "No."  You take out your phone and check the time.  "Uh oh. Jen, hurry up and go do whatever you gotta do. we're leaving in 10 minutes."  "Oh, Shit!"  Jenna downs her coffee and quickly runs to her room.  You down the rest of your coffee and head to your room to change and whatnot.

...

Well, You arrived to set of the show Wednesday. Day 1 of your first job. yay...Anyway, you close the folder after all you were reading on the ride to set. "Alright, Y/N we're here." You pay the taxi driver and get out. "Excited for your first day?"  you look at the distance. there are small trailers, cars, and well the set... you look and sigh.  "Let's get this over with."

... FEW HOURS LATER...

Now you are sitting in a room in the 'lunch' area. it's more of a room with black walls and a white roof and you're already eating your food as you continue to read the folder. you like the peace and quietness of all to yourself. suddenly you hear a voice. "Yeah! Why not!" the door opens. you look up. it's Jenna and some of her co-stars. you think to yourself...' so much for peace and quietness' Jenna notices you.  "Oh! Hey Y/N!"  you only wave.  you take a bite of your food.  "So this is your childhood friend?"  You try to ignore them. but Jenna sits next to you and the rest of her co-stars sit around or next to you.  "Y/N I would like you to meet some of the cast.  You silently curse yourself for not picking a better spot.  "Y/N I would like for you to meet Emma."  You look at Emma. white hair...probably for her role. and has jeans, a sweater, and sneakers on.  "Nice to meet you I'm Emma Myers."  she extends her hand for a handshake.  You take her hand and shake it.  "Pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Emma. I'm Y/N L/N."  You let go of her hand.  another person this time a guy greets you.  "Nice to meet you Y/N I'm Hunter. Hunter Doohan."  "Nice to meet you, Mr. Doohan."  you shake his hand and let go.  "Formal, are you a servant or something? Don't take offense."  You silently curse at him. but you keep your cool.  "No, I'm Jenna's Personal assistant."   "Oh. nice."  then you greet the last one.  "Nice to meet you Y/N, I'm Percy. Percy White."   "Nice to meet you, Percy."  You shake his hand. you start to feel a strange feeling of eerieness coming from him...something you've felt before in the army. you let go of his hand and pretend like nothing happened and you sit and eat food.  "So Y/N. how did you and Jenna meet?"  Emma asks.  "Oh, uh...we met at the school playground when I was playing by myself."  "Did you have any friends?"  Hunter also asks.  "No, I was more of the quiet kid of the school...Jenna just walked up and start talking to me."  "Y/N was very shy and quiet when we first met," Jenna adds.  "Yup, sadly...then we hung out a lot and that was it."  "Interesting! did you guys have sleepovers and such?"  Y/N sighs.  "Yeah. we did. I was originally against it but..."  You look at Jenna.  "She nagged me until I cave in."

You then spent a few hours with them chatting about almost anything. seems you really missed having long and normal conversations and you occasionally kept an eye on Percy.
