I brushed my hair as i looked out of the window of the airplane. This amazing trip was coming to an end. We would all go back to our own careers and lives. I sighed as the plane came to a stop. On the bright side, Jake was getting married in a month, and hopefully we would all go to that wedding. We got off the plane, said our goodbyes and headed home. Johnie and I got home to see Sara, Jake, Mum and Dad all sitting and wedding planning.
"Nice to see you too, parents." Johnie said sarcastically and they all looked up, exclaiming.
I hugged my parents, brother and to be sister-in-law, and we all settled down for tea before going to bed. It was nice to sit with family and just chat for a while. I had to meet with the directors for Percy Jackson, and have screen tests and stuff. I was super excited, this was huge! Percy Jackson was one of my favorite books, and being able to bring it to life was just - wow.

The next morning, it was all a little rushed.
I showered, did my makeup and changed in forty five minutes, before leaving for the tests. It was nice to be back in London, the familiarity was comforting. We might have to go to LA to shoot the movie, but they might just shoot it here as well.

Flashes blinded me as i got out of the car and into the studio. Christie and I walked down the corridors, all too familiar from the time I acted in Another Cinderella Story, and into one of the conference rooms. We were met by a lot of people, Chris Columbus, the director, Logan Lerman, Brandon Jackson, Jake Abel, and a few others. After the meeting was over, we went for a screen-test, and did some readings. Chris was quite pleased with it, and we were to start shooting in a couple days, and that was that. I had to rush to an interview, however, and tomorrow was a photo shoot, day after again an interview, busy busy.
The interview was with James Corden, so I was looking forward to it, he's such a sweetheart. He even offered to do a carpool karaoke with me, which i was super excited about. However, that meant going through hair and makeup, styling and everything. We arrived at the venue, and immediately into hair and makeup.

"Alright, so Carrie, our next segment is 'Spill your guts or fill your guts'." James said. My moth dropped open. Oh nonononono, and James burst out laughing.
"Your face! Ohmygod your face, this is too good," he giggled.
"Nobody told me about this!!!!" I squealed.
"Yeah, well obviously we won't tell you in advance, we want the truth here." James laughed.
"Alright, let's do this." I said.

"Next question for Carrie Morgenstern. What is going on with Mr Harry Styles? Now if you don't want to answer that, you've got to drink the bird saliva." James said and the crowd ooooohd.
"Oh just great." I said.
"Or, you know, you could tell us what's going on between you and that green eyed lad." James said.
"Or you could drink the bird saliva." A deep voice said.
"Oh god no, don't tell me Harry's here." I groaned. "I'm going to drink it."
"But wait - where did that voice come from?" James asked, looking around.
"I'm up here, James," we looked around and saw Harry standing above the band.
"Goodness gracious." I picked up the glass and took a tiny sip of the saliva, immediately spitting it out in my spit bucket and drinking water on top.
"Oh god i think I'm going to throw up." I groaned and stood up, as the camera stopped rolling. I dashed to the nearest bathroom and threw up in the toilet seat. Before I knew it, Harry was right behind me, hand on my back, rubbing my shoulders.
I took a tablet and some water, as James apologized profusely. I laughed it off and told him it was perfectly fine. We finished the interview and headed backstage. I changed out of the silk dress and into something more comfortable.

Harry offered to take me out for dinner and I agreed, so we got into his car and drove to the nearest McDonald's. We went in the drive through and got ourselves nuggets and burgers, along with apple pie before heading home. He dropped me off to my house and I thanked him.
"Thank you, Harry, for the dinner." I said.
"I just wanted to be able to spend some time with you." he said.
"I appreciate it, thank you." I smiled and got off the car.
