Hey guys! So I'm writing this story on my phone currently, and I can't figure out how to add a cast list. Therefore, I'm just going to type it here.

Eddie Redmayne / Eddie Redmayne
Sarah Madison / Kira Kosarin
Raymond Traces / Spencer Boldman
Jane Madison / Victoria Justice
Harper Genes / Selena Gomez
These are just suggestions for characters, you can imagine them as whoever you want.

Happy reading! Thank you for actually reading this.

"Hey," I said to Raymond as I walked into his place. Everything was messy, as usual. Eddie shyly walked behind me.

"Sarah!" Raymond said as he came up to hug me. "Harper and I are playing video games in the other room -" He stopped talking when he saw Eddie.

"Hi, I'm Eddie," He put his hand out for Raymond to shake it. Raymond didn't even see it and fist bumped him. This was not going well.

"Sup, dude. I'm Raymond. The other one over there is Harper," Raymond said to Eddie. "She crushes at Call of Duty. Don't underestimate her," He said in a whisper. "Oh, and nice accent."

"Thanks," Eddie replied.

Raymond then motioned for us to come into the other room. We both followed him.

"Harper, this is Eddie," Raymond said to her."He's british!"

"Nice to meet you. How long have known Sarah for?" Harper asked, while she was focusing on her video game.

I could tell Eddie was going to say 6 hours, but I cut him off.

"2 years." I lied. I know it wasn't a good thing to do, but if my friends knew that I've only known him for less than a day, they'd kick him out.

"Where'd you meet?" Raymond asked.

"At a..." I had trouble thinking of a place.

"Rave!" Eddie said proudly.

"What?!" Harper and Raymond said in unison.

"No! Eddie, we did not meet at rave. He's joking. We met at a..." I was still having trouble thinking about it, so I just said the first thing that popped into my head. "movie premiere. Eddie is an actor," I said.

"That's awesome!" Raymond said. "Anything we would've seen you in? I knew you sort of looked familiar."

"Uh, just a few movies. Nothing huge," Eddie lied.

"He's won an Oscar!" I announced. Harpers mouth dropped open.

"What? An actual, like, Oscar? Where is it?" Harper asked.

"At my house," Eddie said. "I live in England, though."

"Bummer," Raymond said.

"Anyways, do you guys wanna play video games or what?" I said to the 3 of them.

"Yeah!" Harper said. "Eddie, how do you do at Call of Duty?"

"I'm alright, I guess. I don't really play all that often."

"Cool!" Raymond said. "That means we can beat you."

Eddie took one of the controllers on Raymond's coffee table and motioned for me to come over to him.

It turns out, Eddie is amazing at Call of Duty. Who would've thought? I thought to myself.

Raymond and Harper were sore losers, but I honestly didn't mind. As long as I got to spend time with Eddie, I was fine with whatever.

While the 3 of them were conversing about who knows what, I noticed something. Down the hallway at Raymond's house, he had a picture. I was in it. It was the day of our first official date. The picture was on the beach, of course. I was wearing a black and white romper and my hair in a very complicated braid that took me hours. Then I started to feel a flashback coming.

"Come on, Sarah!" Raymond said. "We can just ask that nice lady over there to take our picture."

I hesitated, but I knew I wanted to document our first date.

"Okay, fine," I sighed.

"Excuse me?" Raymond said to the lady. "Will you take a picture of us, please?"

"Of course, darling," She smiled.

He gave her the camera and and we stood right next to where the water met the shore.

"Say cheese!" The woman announced.

Instead of saying "Cheese", Raymond kissed me. At that moment everything else fell into place. Our first kiss was something to remember, and I couldn't be happier about it.

After I snapped out of my flashback state, I excused myself to go to the bathroom.

"Shit," I said to myself while walking down the hall. I closed the door and locked it.

Why did he have a picture of us kissing on his bedroom wall?

Does he still have feelings for me?

What if he doesn't and just hasn't taken it down since we broke up?

These were all questions I asked myself. I soon felt tears running down my face. That picture brought back so many memories. I felt my heart beating faster and faster, and my vision was getting blurry. I was having a panic attack. I started sweating, and a lot, too.

I didn't know what to do.

A couple minutes later I started to calm down.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door.

"Sarah? Can I come in?" It was Harper's voice.

"Um," I said shakily. "Yeah. Hold on."

I unlocked the door, and I immediately regretted it. Her face was filled with concern, and she walked in and slammed the door behind her.

"Sarah! Are you alright? Well, obviously you're not but I just thought-" I cut her off.

"I miss Raymond," I said. "I can't do this."

"He's right in there-"

"No, you don't understand," I told Harper. "I still have feelings for him."

All we did was sit inside the small bathroom in silence, wondering what was going to happen next.

Hey guys! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a couple of months. I've just been super busy with school and stuff. I'll try to update more!

Thanks, Willow.
