CHAPTER 37 - A LONG DAY.

"Bug, time to wake up..." I bolt upright as moms voice wakes me up. My chest heaving from having been woken so suddenly. My body instantly falls back into the bed and I end up groaning as I hear small giggles next to me. I peek my eyes open slightly and notice Rose on the other bed next to me watching someone on her iPad as mom takes a seat next to me on the bed. 

"What time is it?" I mumble as I lean against mom, fighting the sleep that wants to take me. God I'm so tired. 

"Nearly 7am...we have a busy day. I'm sorry bug." Mom replies as she chuckles at the groan I let out. It feels like I haven't slept for longer than an hour. 

"What's on the agenda for today then?" I yawn and stand up because I know if I stay in bed any longer I will 100% fall back to sleep. Mom grabs her phone from the side table and starts to read, "Okayyy, so we have, well more like I have 3 interviews today, one at 10:30, another at 2:45 and then the last one at 4:30. So busy but also not bad of a day, tomorrow we have another rest and then the day after we have the premier. Got it?" I stare at mom blankly over what she just said. Honestly it felt like it went in one ear and out of the other. 

"I want to say yes but honestly I didn't hear a word you just said..." I smile cheekily at her as she lifts herself up from the bed and moves over to me. "Honestly you don't really need to know, you're gonna be with me all day." I nod along to her finally hearing what she just said. 

So by the sounds of it, it's a long day by her saying 'all day' but again I am always with her all day so it feels like it doesn't make a difference. 

"So, I'm going to get Rose and myself showered and then Mac is going to come in with our clothes for the day, they're lovely and I hope you like what options they have for you sweetheart." Mom lets me know as I give her a little hug and grab my phone and eye the food that is sitting on the table. 

"Oh, sorry that's yours. I didn't know what you would want so I just got some pastries and some fruit, that's okay right bug?" 

"No...wait I mean yeah, it's perfect. Thanks mom" I smile at her as she leads Rose into the bathroom but not without Rose complaining about being a 'big girl' and being able to shower herself.

10:30am - Interview 1 

It is way too early to be sitting in a room with multiple people in as they get mom and Evans ready for their interview. I have Rose on my lap while she sits with her iPad and headphones on her head. 

I am beyond bored, and I hate that I have to sit here in silence while they get ready and while they film. 

I want to talk to mom before she starts but as I go to move Rose I hear whoever is in charge say they're going to start and now I'm stuck. 

I have moms assistant next to me but I can't talk and I just feel so awkward. 

Part of it is cool. Watching mom in her element with her work but again it hurts sometimes. Rose is so used to this life but for me it is still so foreign. 

I feel all twitchy and irritated. My body feels so hot in this jacket but if I take it off my arms are going to be out on show and the last thing I need is for more people to stare at me. 

As soon as we walked in here it felt like everyone was staring at me, the questions lingering in the air about who I was. I'm pretty sure people think I'm Rose's babysitter but the fact I look a lot like mom (apparently) that should give it away enough. 

It feels like forever but it's only been 30 minutes when I feel mom step in front of me and Rose. She bends down so she is eye level with us and Rose takes off her headphones and shines a bright smile at mom.
