Ben POV:
"Hey guys. Do you all mind if Eliza comes down to the theatre again?" I asked.
"What's she gonna do? We just have a put in rehearsal. You are gonna be on for Jesse the whole the time." Neil said.
"Yeah but being here is better than being in her home. Trust me." I said.
"It doesn't bother me at all, she just might be a little bored." Timothy said.
"Maybe I can ask Carolee to hang out with her." I said. "And she's here, gotta go." I said.
"Get it Benjie boy." Neil laughed. I ran back into the room and glared at him.
"Shut up." I laughed and ran out. I opened the stagedoor and Eliza was standing there with Carrie who had a cut on her arm. "Carrie are you ok?" I asked
"Yeah, our cat scratched her." Eliza said.
"Does she want a band aid? We have a first aid kit in here." I said.
"She's fine." Eliza said.
"Ok. Well come on in, it's kinda cold outside." I said. "We have a put in rehearsal today so I'm gonna be on the stage most of the time cuz I'm in for Jesse but you are welcome to sit and watch in the audience or hang out somewhere." I said.
"Can I go find Sarah?" Carrie asked.
"Sure." Eliza laughed. "But dont annoy her."
"Ok well I gotta go on stage but feel free to wander around." I said. I ran to the stage and Bob Lenzi was on the stage waiting.
"Hey, I saw your girlfriend walking around." Bob said.
"She's not my girlfriend." I laughed.
"Well whatever she is, she's sitting right there."
Bob said. I looked and she had sat down at the back of the theatre.
"Think you could go talk to her for me? I don't want her to be lonely." I said.
"Sure." He laughed. He jumped off the stage and ran to the back of the theatre and sat down next to her.
"Ben, we are gonna run Top of The World first." Our director said.
"Got it." I said. Time to climb a tree, let's go.
Eliza POV:
I sat down in the back of the auditorium and pulled out my phone. I just needed to get Carrie out of the house and I know she feels safe here. I saw Ben on stage talking to Bob and then Bob jumped off the stage and walked back towards me.
"Hey little lady." He smiled as he sat down next to me.
"Hey Bob." I smiled.
"How's it going?" He asked.
"As best as it can. So what's a put in rehearsal?" I asked.
"It's where the understudies run through the show as the part they understudy so they can work on the blocking." Bob explained.
"So who does Ben understudy?" I asked.
"Jesse Tuck." Bob said.
