My Baby Girl

Love is an Open Door

Three days later
*Ashely's POV*

"Tyler!"Everleigh says, running towards Tyler.

"Hey monkey!" Tyler says, as Everleigh leaps into his arms.

"Ooh ooh ahh ahh!" Everleigh says, making silly monkey faces.

"Hey Ashley." Tyler says, flashing his toothy grin. I blush. It's been three days since I last saw Tyler at the wedding. That's three days I spent constantly thinking about him.

"I hate to break up the happy reunion here, but we have to film a scene in ten minutes and I need you two in it." Dan the camera man says, tapping a pen against his clipboard.

"Ok, We'll be there shortly." I say, looking to Tyler who nods in agreement. Today is another full day at work. I have a two hour break over lunch, but other than that it's go time all day long! 

"We should probably get going." Tyler says.

"Yeah, definently." I say, shaking away my thoughts.

"I mean, we wouldn't want to be late for the first scene of the day." Tyler says, scratching his head.

"No, yeah, yeah, I get it. I'll um drop Ev off at Tammin's dressing room and meet you there." I say, pointing to Everleigh.

"Oh, ok,of course." Tyler says, setting Everleigh down, and straightening out her leather coat.

"No mommy, I want to stay wif you!" Everleigh says, clinging to my legs. I pry my daughter away, and lift her into my arms. She's still been pretty clingy ever since the accident at the pool happened. Her stitches are healing nicely, and her fringe mostly covers it up, so it's not super noticeable, but she still sometimes feels uncomfortable.

"You don't want to play with Tammin and Phoenix?" I ask, looking into Everleigh's sad, blue eyes. She shakes her head and points to me.

"You."

I sigh. "Ok, let me talk to Marlene." I say, and start walking to stage number three, which is the one we will be filming at.

"Troian and Shay, start on stage left. Keegan, Tyler, Ian, stage right, Ashley,
and Lucy, center stage." Marlene shouts orders into her megaphone.

"Excuse me, Marlene?" I ask, turning her attention towards me.

"Oh hello Ash! How's poor little Everleigh doin? I heard about the accident. Are you ok punkin'?" Marlene asks, making a pouty lip and rubbing Everleigh's arm.

"She's doing ok. Very clingy lately, but she's getting better.The doctor said her stitches are looking good and her head is healing pretty quickly." I say. Marlene smiles.

"Oh that is great news!"

"So Evers here is having a bit of separation anxiety considering everything that happened at the hospital, and refuses to let me drop her off at Tammin's dressing room, do you mind if she just watches the scene?" I ask, hoisting Everleigh up in my arms.

"Oh, that's no problem! Ev, would you like to be my co-director for the day?" Marlene asks. Everleigh nods her head and smiles shyly. I set Ever on Marlene's lap and she immediately snuggles in.

"Benzo, you start center stage. Keegan move a little further to the right. Lucy starts off the scene and... action!" A bell rings, signalling the start of the scene.

"I don't understand, why would A want us to have this?" Aria asks, holding up her prop.

"Maybe A wants us to know that there's more than one person after Ali, and we need to protect her. Maybe, A wants to protect Ali." Spencer says, crossing her arms.
