Fading Memories (Chandler Riggs x Reader)

Interviews & Ambushes

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

It's been a week since my first day on the set and today was the day they would release the very first episode I acted in. They gave us the day off so watch the new episode since they knew that this was a very big thing for me. I'm nervous? Ha!! Understatement of the century. To top it all off there was a Walker Con later this afternoon. I was waaayyyy past the point of nervousness. This was anxiety. So many thought were running rampid through my head that morning, I thought it was about to explode!

'What if they don't like me?? What if they don't want me on the show? What if—'

"Hey" a voice broke me out of my thoughts.

I looked to my left to where Chandler was staring dead at me, worry apparent in his blue eyes. We were sitting on the couch in the living room of his house. Since it was the release of the very first episode I was in, he wanted to watch it with me. His parents were out and his brother, Grayson, was up in his room.

"You ok?" he questioned, shifting closer to me, " and don't you dare lie to me (Y/N). You know that I know you like the back of my hand. I can easily tell when you're lying to me or to anyone else."

I sighed, "I'm just worried. What if they don't like me and they want me to get killed off in the show?" I bit my lip in worry. I looked down at my hands and fiddled with them.
I heard him sigh and say, "Look at me," he lifted my chin with two of his fingers, forcing me to look at him, "They'll love you. If you keep saying that they won't then they really won't. Even if some of them don't like you, just remember the ones that do. Now how about... a smile?"

He started tickling me, making me squeal in delight and stat giggling until I was full-on laughing. I laid on the couch as an poor attempt to get away from him but he just got up and straddled me. He wouldn't stop tickling me so I couldn't stop laughing. This is one of the things I loved about Chandler. He always knew how to make me smile. When we heard the opening theme of TWD Chandler got distracted. Since he was distracted for a bit, I saw this as my chance to escape. I immediately shoved him off of me and onto the other side of the couch. I stuck my tongue at him and turned my attention to the TV. I heard him chuckle and I felt him shift in his seat.

My name appeared on the TV after Chandler's and I grinned. I knew what that meant!! On the second day of shooting, Robert told me that if my name showed up in the opening credits then I would be a part of the main cast. Meaning, I wouldn't be killed off so early in the show. A few seconds later I heard me and Chandler's phones go off. They were all notifications from Twitter about my name being on the opening credits. Chandler grinned at me and we checked our phones.

Almost all of my followers were my friends in real life and on the net so I had about 89. Some of them were congratulating me and others were scolding me about how I was disgrace because I didn't tell them. I chuckled and replied to some of them. There was a certain tweet that caught my eye though. It was from (MG/N mean girl's name). She used to bully me when I was in school and she is the reason why y parents decided to homeschool me. Her tweet was:

'I can't believe they let that attention whore act on the show when I'm here! Welp there goes my favorite show!'

I couldn't believe her. I moved and yet she still loves to ruin my life! Can't she get her own?!?

"Hey you ok?" I heard Chan ask, breaking me out of my thoughts. Since I didn't reply because I didn't know what to say he peeked over my shoulder to read (MG/N) tweet. I heard him scoff and start typing on his phone.

Soon, I got a notification that Chandler had followed me and mentioned me in a tweet.

'Hi! (MG/N) is it? Well I just wanted say that (Y/UN your username) didn't ruin the show. In fact she made it so much better! I'm just grateful she doesn't have an attitude like yours! J'
