*Shanell's POV*- At Good luck Charlie set

"That's a wrap, good job guys!" the director said before going to talk to his filming crew. Mollie yawned then leaned on Eleanor's shoulder "man that was tiring."

I smiled seeing Eleanor roll her eyes. "You thought that take was tiring, I had it harder, the director was so picking on me today" she folded her arms sulking.

"Hey, I'm sure it wasn't like that" I said shrugging, she looked up at me "try being constantly called out all the time, it's no fun."

Amber rolled her eyes smiling and looked at Eleanor "come on filming is so fun though, I'm sure the director doesn't always call on you."

"Eleanor!" we turned hearing the director calling, Eleanor gave us a look and whispered: "see I told you!" we bit our lips trying to suppress our laughter as she forced a smile and walked over to speak with the director.

As soon as she left we broke into laughter, Mollie shook her head leaning closer to us "what you reckon he called her for?" I looked over at them thinking then looked back at Mollie and shrugged "no idea, but we can try guess by the face she makes."

We all slyly watched Eleanor talking to the director and edged closer trying to listen in on what was said. I nudged Amber a few times because she kept giggling.

Watching we saw Eleanor gasp, step back and look down with wide eyes, 'are you being serious? I can't believe this!" we frowned and looked at each other when we heard her say that.

"What's the bad news?" Mollie whispered to me still looking at Eleanor, I waved my hand hushing her and listened intensively.

Eleanor looked up at the director and then smiled widely seeing him nod, "thank you, thank you! This is great!" she beamed clapping her hands together.

Me, Mollie and Amber let out a relieved sigh- with Amber the loudest. We looked at her with wide eyes then acted casual looking the other way when the director looked at us.

He shook his head and handed Eleanor a sheet of paper, once they were finished talking Eleanor marched over to us "you guys!" we smiled shrugging then laughed. "Sorry Eleanor, but what's the news?" I said grabbing hold of her shoulders, "don't keep us waiting."

"Oh yeah" she looked down at her paper then back at us "well turns out the director wasn't picking on, he was testing me and now he's offered me a role!" she clapped her hands in delight and fanned the paper in front of our startled faces.

It took a while for us to take in what she said, Mollie spoke first "wow that's um something" Eleanor narrowed her eyes "um what?" she said with a slight attitude putting her hands on her hips.

Mollie gave us a look then rolled her eyes and turned to walk away. Eleanor stomped her foot and was about to retaliate when Bradley swooped in and stood between them "Eleanor!" he quickly hugged her head and gave me a look still holding onto her.

He chuckled releasing a still-annoyed Eleanor and patted her shoulders before putting his hands into his pockets. "Heyyy good news ha? congrats Ellie!" Amber nudged him "-Eleanor" he stratched behind his head then smiled innocently.

She looked at her paper then back at him giving him a look "how would you know about my news?" 

He opened his mouth to say something but he hesitated then looked at me, Mollie and Amber. "Bradley what are you not telling me?" she said taking steps closer to him.

I laughed fiddling with my hair making it go over one shoulder "just tell her Bradley, she'll get it out of you one way or another" he looked at me while I shrugged then at Amber and Mollie who gave him a creepy smile nodding.

He looked back at Eleanor who was still waiting for him to answer. "ok, I knew how much you wanted a part and I heard that there were spaces available for My babysitters a vampire's special so I talked to my director and a few others, no big deal."

She beamed and hugged him, "aww Brady that's the best thing ever! Thanks so much!" he nodded pulling back and saw Eleanor's happy face, "no problem, but I think we should give up on the nicknames, do I look like a Brady to you?" he gestured to himself then put a hand on his hip.

We laughed "well you do call me Shanny" I shrugged smiling. He gave me a brief look "yeah but that's different." I rolled my eyes smiling, "come on let's go." We all nodded and started walking towards out the door to dressing rooms when Bradley quickly pulled me back and watched the girls carry on walking round the corner.

He smirked at me seeing the look I was giving him, "you didn't think I'd forgot about you, did you?" I looked away then back at his raised eyebrowed smile and hit his arm "you weirdo, are gunna tell me what you're talking about or what?"

He moved his eyebrows then took out a paper from his back pocket then handed it to me "Eleanor wasn't the only one I went snooping around for" he winked smiling.

I read the paper and gasped "what! I can't believe you got me a tryout for Mighty Med, Bradley you little- this is great thank you" I smiled widely. He popped his collar with a smirked, "well what can I say I'm a sneaky guy." I laughed then tiptoed and hugged him "yeah...about that."

"Shanell I was thinking, um, how about we go on a date" he stratched behind his head then looked up at my startled face. I thought for a moment taking it in then smiled "um yeah that would fun" I couldn't understand why I was feeling this way, I mean we are kinda together now so a date wasn't far off.

My thoughts were diverted when he moved closer to me putting his hands in his pockets "there's this awesome movie out, I just know you'll love it" I listened partly as he continued to talk about it. I giggled to myself at how his eyes lit up with excitement when he talked about things he loved. I'm so glad I have him...

"Thanks Kimberly for the lift home" Bradley's mum smiled back "your welcome Shanell, have a good night and...tell Chris if he's still there that I'll call him later." I nodded before getting out.  

"I'll see you later then" Bradley said leaning his head on his seat looking at me, I smiled "yeah see you later" I closed the door and waved them goodbye.

I stood there for a while after they drove out of the gate then sighed smiling to myself before walking inside the house. I saw Shennika's jacket on the hook which meant she was home, "Shennikaaaaaaaa!" I sang running up the stairs, I walked into my room and threw down my jacket and bag "I need you to help me pick out a outfit" I shouted.

When I heard no response I walked into Bethany's room and gasped at the glass mess and what I thought was drink. I traced the red droplets and saw that it went passed my feet, down the hall to the bathroom. I gasped realising it was blood. But who's?

I stratched my head and breathed deeply, ohhh what have I just walked into!?...
