After All This Time

Chapter 2

Katelyn's POV

Finally, I got to the building that my interview was being held in. I took a deep breath and me and Chris stepped inside.

I walked up to a lady sitting behind a counter. When she saw me, she smiled kindly.

"Hello," she said cheerfully. "Name?"

"Katelyn Nacon," I said in the same tone.

She picked up a paper in front of her and read it.

"Ah," she said finally. "You're just in time. Come with me, please."

She stood up and guided me down a hall, while Chris waited in the waiting room.

She stopped in front of the door at the end.

"Right in here," she said and opened the door for me.

I thanked her and walked inside.

A man stood from his chair and shook my hand.

"Hello, Miss Nacon," he greeted. "I'm Ryan Smith. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"The pleasure's all mine," I replied, smiling.

He gestured to the seat across from his. "Please sit."

I nodded and sat down in the comfortable chair.

"There is a glass of water beside you if you're thirsty," he explained.

I thanked him and sipped.

"Alright," he said, taking a seat himself. "You ready to roll?"

"Absolutely," I said and he nodded.

He gave the cameraman a thumbs up and he started rolling.

"Alright, so thank you for coming, Katelyn," he started.

"My pleasure," I said with a smile.

"So we will talk about The Walking Dead, of course, but let's talk about other things you have been doing first."

"Alright," I said, laughing slightly.

"Let's talk about your album," he suggested. "What's it about?"

"Right," I started. "Well, it's called "Still Here", and it's basically about the last six years of my life starting when The Walking Dead ended."

"Are any of the songs about love?" he asked, smirking slightly.

"Well, of course," I said, smiling slyly. "You always have to have songs about love." I laughed a little.

"And also you got to star in a few hit movies," he stated.

I nodded, smiling.

"What was that like?" he asked incredulously.

"Oh, it was crazy," I said. "I still don't really know what's going on....but, yeah, I just feel incredibly lucky that I've been able to continue acting."

"Alright, let's talk about what everyone's been waiting for: The Walking Dead movie."

I smiled and nodded.

"Now, obviously, it's been quite a while since you've played Enid."

"Yes," I confirmed.

"Have you started shooting yet?" he asked.

"No, I haven't yet," I said. "I mean, I'm sure other people have. "Like I'm sure Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick, and others have done some stuff, but I haven't yet."

"How do you think it will be to step back into Enid's shoes again?" he asked.

"Oh, I'm so excited," I said wistfully. "Like, I love Enid so much, so I'm incredibly excited to be able to play her again."

"Is there anyone on set that you're excited to be able to work with again?"

"Definitely," I said, nodding. "Working with Steven Yeun and Lauren Cohan, who play Glenn and Maggie, is so much fun, so I'm so excited to work with them again. And everyone, really. Everyone is so nice and supportive."

"I would've guessed that you would say Chandler Riggs," he said slyly.

I laughed bashfully. "Well, I am excited to see him again, absolutely. I've heard he's been doing some great things, so I'm excited to catch up with him."

"Everyone was so sad when the two of you broke up, why did you?" he asked somberly.

"Oh, yeah," I said. "We were sad, too. But you know, it happens."

"Yeah," Ryan said. He trailed off a little before continuing. "So what can we expect from this movie?"

"Um," I said, not wanting to give anything away. "More walkers and awesomeness."

He laughed and nodded. "Alright, we'll take that," he said.

"Okay," I said, laughing myself.

"Well, it was a pleasure meeting you," he said, smiling.

"You, too," I said cheerfully.

"And have fun shooting the movie," he added.

"I will, thank you."

Ryan turned to the cameraman. "Alright, you can cut it."

The man nodded and stopped filming.

After saying our goodbyes, I walked out of the building with Chris and we headed to the hotel we were staying in.

One question that Ryan asked kept replaying through my mind.

Why did you and Chandler break up?
