★Important Info In The Author's Note★

Thankfully once we got to the hotel room last night I was able to get a good nights sleep in. When Kellin came knocking at my door around 10:00, he said to me, "Morning sleeping beauty. I bought you a Monster and chocolate muffin."

"Awe! Thank you so much." I gave Kellin a hug before taking the breakfast items and placing them on my table.

"Let me get cleaned up and changed so we can head to the other guys' room to go over today's game plan.

Kellin noded his head in agreement, so I grabbed a fresh pair of underwear, black jeans, and a large Sleeping With Sirens sweatshirt a fan had given me at Vidcon, and went to my bathroom. While the water warmed up, I undid my ponytail from the previous night, and sighed when I saw the big mess my hair was.

I stepped in the shower, cleaned myself, and scrubbed my face with a cleansing scrub. It felt so much better not feeling all slimy. Drying off, I got my clothes on and basked in their warmness. I also quickly blow dryed my hair before brushing it into a tight bun with a few loose strands framing my face.

"Alright! Let's get going!" I said to Kellin once I escaped the bathroom. He grabbed my food and the two of us were off.

While I was in a room on the 8th floor, everyone else was sleeping in a grand master suite located on the 12th floor.

I opened the Monster while Kellin knocked.

"My keycard doesn't work." He stated when I asked why he didn't just use his key.

"Morning." Sam said groggily once he opened the door for us.

"We don't have to be at the apartment until 11 right?" I asked Sam when I stepped inside.

"Yeah. We don't have to be there at 11 on the spot. We just couldn't be there before 11." I nodded my head before plopping my body on the couch. Kellin sat next to me and the two of us split the muffin.

Around 10:40ish, almost everyone but Justin Hills was awake, fed, and showered. I actually made Kellin reshower because his hair was looking greasier than normal.

"But I already showered." He grumbled quietly but did as I said.

"Someone go wake Justin up." Jake said after he came out of the 2nd bathroom the hotel had. Since no one wanted to, we all did rock, paper, scissors until it was down to Jack and myself. I got lucky, picking paper while he picked rock.

"Have fun." I said as I patted his shoulder and smirked at him.

-3 Hours Later-

"Is everything set up?" I asked when I came out of the room with Shelly (our Bell). I had done her make up and not to brag or anything, but I made her look like a million bucks.

"Yup." Sam stated adressing me. "So you know what you're supposed to do Shelly?" He asked once she sat down at the table. Across from her was Kellin seated and inbetween the two were two plates of steak, mac and cheese, and a bottle of red wine.

"I just look around and when Samm yells 'go', I just start yelling at Kellin. He'll yell at me and then I'll slam a napkin on the table, scream the lyrics, and then walk away. Right?"

"Yeah. Alright. Scene 4, take one. And action!" The song began playing and almost immediately I noticed Shelly tapping her hand to the beat.

"And cut!" I said.

"We didn't even get the shot." Sam said slightly aggitated.

"Shelly, don't tap your hand. Keeo your body stiffed. Remember that you're pissed off, angry, confused, sad. Show that emotion." She nodded as did I. "Alright. Take 2 and action!"

The music started playing again and the look on Shelly's face was way too happy for being in a quarrel with a loved one.

"Shelly! Less smiles, more frowns." I called out.

After a few more tries of her not understand what anger and sadness was, I had to physically show her the emotions. I channeled my inner anger and hurt from Damon and let my emotions show on my face. Tears watered my eyes and I wiped them away. Kellin was across from me looking at me with a pained expression. It was the perfect look and feel for the scene.

"Do you get it?" I asked once I calmed down a bit. Shelly nodded and we switched spots.

We tried once again and it was obvious she a) didn't know what anger and pain was, b) wasn't listening to what I was trying get across, and c) was just trying to be cute but it wasn't.

So to calm myself down, I walked over to Shelly, and punched (not roughly) her shoulder.

"What was that for!? I'm going to bruise!" She shouted, her nostrils flairing in anger.

"THERE WE GO! Use that anger for this scene."

"Take 13." Sam said. Shelly used her annoyance and finally portrayed her anger well. We filmed the scene four times from different angles, which both Sam and I approved.

-Many hours later-

Everything was officially filmed. We had filmed all of the shots in less than 48 hours, a record time considering the amount of wide and close shots, zoomed out pans, and angles we had. Even though filming was done, there was this beauty called post production. There were over 400 individual stills from the stuff we had shot. All of these shots had to be arranged in the way the video would be told, the story something no longer than 4 minutes, seeing as the song was only 3minutes and 35seconds.

Since I would be in school when the video would start being edited, Sam was the chosen who got to edit all of the footage. I offered to help and he told me because he wanted to do all of the editing.
