We got to the studio a little earlier than we thought so we had to time to gather ourselves from the hectic morning. I settled myself on a bench and waited.

“Mind if I join you?” I looked up to see Eddie awkwardly standing there. I smiled and shook my head.

“Please do!”

“So you ready?”

“Ready as I will ever be! I don’t know… doing an interview with you seems like forever ago. That brings back some embarrassing memories…” I replied. Eddie nodded while laughing.

“I know! God…” we sat in silence for a while.

“So how is Hannah? Are you still dating her?”

“She is good! Yeah!”

“That’s great Eddie! Wow! Loyal boyfriend right here….”

“Except for all the times I thought about you…. And that kiss…”

“That kiss didn’t count… I mean you still are a good guy! I think sense we were not going to see each other again till this event we get some credit! Presides, I mean were romantic lead co-stars as well as best friends…” Eddie looked a little off-guard, and angry.

“So how is your new boyfriend?”

“Did I say something?” I asked annoyed. Eddie was in his weird mode again. Like he was jealous our something.

“Um I don’t have a boyfriend. We broke up because he wanted something more serious, and he was kind of a jerk…”

“Oh…”

“Look Eddie,” I grabbed his hand and placed it in mine. “I did like you a lot… but it wouldn’t work. Ok, now I don’t know what this is anymore. We are friends then you act like you like me. Then I try to acknowledge that and then you go kiss Hannah, then I am heartbroken because I liked you, and then we go back to being friends but I date someone and you get mad. I think we should just be friends ok?”

Eddie nodded and looked away. I squeezed his hand and yawned.

“Tired much?” he asked looking at me.

“Yeah Anne was snoring last night and it kept me up. Also Isabelle was feeling sick so I had to help her out.”

“Awe! Is she ok now?” I nodded.

“Wait you say you couldn’t sleep cause of Anne?? But you snore so loud!” Eddie said aghast.

“Do not!”

“Hmm… right! Here lay your head down on me and take a little rest. I will wake you up when Anne and Hugh are done!” I questioned him for a moment and then took his offer and awkwardly lay my head down on his lap. He stroked my hair and I was soon lightly asleep.

“Amanda! Manda! Wake up!” my eyes popped open and I sat up straight. I fixed my hair and shirt and looked around. Anne and Hugh were staring at us and giggling to themselves.

“Love birds…” we awkwardly ignored each other till someone got us to go in for the interview.

We sat down in two chairs across from a middle age woman with note cards.

“Hi guys! It’s great to meet you! I’m Debby!” she said and the camera started to role.

“Great to meet you too!” we replied.

“Now I have to start with Eddie. You are not just nominated for choice movie actor in a romance movie but also your nominated for choice breakout role! And that’s pretty impressive!”
