I'll Be There (Josh Hutcherson)

Chapter One

I had a great new idea so I decided to put it to good use! It starts out a little slow, but it gives you a good feel for Anna's character. Josh's point of view is short, only becuase I have trouble getting into a guys head. I hope you enjoy!

-Anna's Point Of View-

"Anna, bring me the contract for the 'Paradise Lost' film," my boss Nathan tells me.

I'm 21 years old and am a guide/ assistant at a movie studio in Los Angeles.

"Yes, sir," I hand him the file and our hands linger for a second more than necessary.

He coughs and I scratch the back of my neck.

"It's five, so I guess I better go. Who am I guiding tomorrow?" I ask wondering what celebrity snob I have to deal with.

"Josh Hutcherson, he is in 'Paradise Lost' his past films include: 'The Hunger Games', the 'Journey' series, 'The Kids Are All Right'. I have a hard drive with some interviews, maybe you can get a feel of his personality."

I grab the papers from Nathan and he looks up at me from his desk.

"Um, I need to go pick up Lana," I mumble as I leave the room. My heels click across the pavement of the parking lot. I set my things in the passenger seat and sigh as I start my Range Rover.

I get my ID to be able to enter into the day care center and hand it to the lady at the front desk. I see little blonde curls bouncing, getting closer to me. My three year old baby girl laughs as I pick her up and kiss her cheek.

"Pretty girl, how was your day?" I ask her.

"Mommy, I had fun!" She giggles.

When we get to my house I make macaroni and hot dogs. Well, I can't cook worth a flip. Just as I sit down my phone rings.

"Mom?"

"Yes, baby it's me. How are you?" Her voice sounds heavy.

"I'm doing good, I finally have a great paying job," I hesitate.

I shouldn't have told her that it pays great. As if I could read her next move, she asks,

"Well, how about I come and see you soon?"

"Well, I have work and we are starting with a new crew, so I have to dedicate my time to that," I try and steer the conversation another way.

"Well, I guess if you don't want to see me, I'll just stay here," I hear the pain in her unstable voice.

"Wait, how about if Lana and I fly out next month during my vacation?" I suggest, I silently pray she says no.

"Yes yes yes! I will book the tickets and get the house ready!"

"Mom, wait-"

The line clicks, signaling the end of the call. I huff out a breath, she has been so unstable since dad died. When I got pregnant with Lana, I was kicked out of the house. I moved to California in hopes that it would be good for me, which it has. When I received the call that dad died, I was in labor. I missed the funeral and everything, I couldn't travel, and I haven't gone back to Georgia since. Something is telling me that my mom is on end, I just have that daughterly instinct.

"Ah! I made I flower!" I look beside me and see macaroni all over the floor and table.

"Lana, no," I tell her firmly. "Go to the bathroom, it's bath time."

When I finally get Lana to bed, I change into a giant t-shirt, grab my laptop and slide into bed. I click on the file from the hard drive and read over the script, then my information, and finally Josh's interviews. I YouTube him too, maybe I will get a better feel of his personality.

It's been 2 hours since I started the videos. I close my laptop and sink into my pillow as I fall asleep, shaking with excitement for tomorrow.

-Josh's Point Of View-

"They almost have it! Get in here," my best friend Andre yells.

We are watching the University of Kentucky vs. University of South Carolina basket ball game. I'm in my kitchen, ordering pizza for the party tonight. The entire 'Paradise Lost' cast is coming to my place for a welcome to Los Angeles kind of thing. I run into the living room and see Kentucky score the final basket. They won.

"Ah, they are doing great this year," Andre squeals.

"You are such a girl," I slap his back.

"Speaking of the ladies, tonight it is time to impress."

"Who in God's name will this be?"

"Her name is Claudia, she's from Spain. We've Skyped a few times for rehearsal and we have a sex scene if you see where I am going."

"Wait, did you? Did you do it over Skype?"

My face turns red, 

"I had no choice! We were reading over the script and it was there. She looked at me with those beautiful brown eyes and said, 'We need to practice every little detail'."

"I'm convinced that you've gone mental."

I walk to my bathroom and brush my teeth for at least 5 minutes. Paranoid.

Once everyone starts arriving, I start the music and get some beer.

She catches my eye like a star. Her eyes move to rest on me as I walk over.

"Funny seeing you here," I hug her.

"Haha, should we keep it on a professional level from now on?"

"Oh, you have a lot to learn about this business. Come on."

I grab her hand and drag her to my bed room. She closes the door and doesn't hesitate to lock it. We make it to the bed and literally rip each other clothes off.

"You are so beautiful," I murmur between kisses.

(My little rule is that I don't right sex scenes [see my bio])

"We need to get back to the party," she kisses me one last time before sliding out from under me. I hear her laugh, so I turn around and see that her shirt is completely ripped across the breasts.

"Dear Lord, take a hoodie from there." I point to my closet.

When we are both dressed, we walk out. Hand in hand. Heart in heart.

If that doesn't give you a feel of the characters I don't know what does! Please vote and comment!
