Shuck Face (A Dylan O'Brien Story)

Chapter 28

Wes and I walked through security and were scanning the LAX crowd, looking for familiar faces. I had facetimed with Dylan... and Tyler Posey, last night before I went to sleep. Tyler told me I was in for a treat now that the bromance was back together. Lord help me. Wes' wife was standing there waiting beside Tyler Hoechlin, who I was seriously not expecting. I walked over with Wes and hugged Alicia.

"Hey Alicia!"

She squeezed me tight. "I met your boyfriend's friend. He had a sign with your name on it, so I offered to stand with him in case he wasn't sure what you looked like."

I smiled and turned to Tyler.

"Hey Tyler, I'm Charlie. Not that I'm not thrilled to meet you, but where's Dylan?"

He caught me by surprise by wrapping me in a tight hug.

"I've heard so freaking much about you, I feel like I've known you forever. He wasn't able to get away from filming like he hoped, so he recruited me to pick you up and take you to set. Not that I mind, I'm glad I got to meet you before that crazy pack of weirdos got their claws in you."

"Was that a wolf joke?"

He laughed. "It wasn't meant to be."

Wes stuck his hand out to Tyler and they exchanged introductions. We all walked over to grab our suitcases.

"Charlie, dinner at my place tomorrow night. I figured we make it a big celebration that everyone is back! So bring Dylan, Ki and Hayoung are coming, Axel and Rosa," She paused and turned to Tyler. "Is your girlfriend in town?"

Tyler nodded. "She'll be here for a few more days."

Alicia looked pleased with his answer. "Great! You two are invited. It's not like one big couples party, so you and Dylan can bring whoever else you want. But they can bring dates!"

Wes was shaking his head and trying not to smile. "Please make sure they bring dates. Cause if there are too many singles, Alicia here will try to play matchmaker. We don't want that."

He hugged me before shaking Tyler's hand again. Alicia hugged us both.

"7pm tomorrow. Don't forget! Make sure you pass along our address to whoever else is coming! See you then!"

As I waved goodbye, my shoulder suddenly felt lighter. I turned to see Tyler taking my bags from me. He smiled and nodded towards the door, so we made our way to the parking lot.

"So are you coming back this season? I know you took some time off last season."

"I'm in a couple of episodes briefly. I finished a small film last year, so they wanted to work me back in. They refuse to let Derek go for good."

I laughed. "I can tell. As many times as I thought he was dead in that show, and then he just shows up, right as rain."

He snickered so I glanced over at him. "Dylan said your southern comes out sometimes when you talk. I just experienced it firsthand."

"HA! It's not just a southern thing. You people kill me."

He threw his hands up defensively and laughed. "Okay! Let's get you to set before Dylan thinks I kidnapped you."

We arrived on the Teen Wolf set. I'm fangirling so hard right now. I am obsessed with this show and I've always wanted to meet Tyler Posey because he is so freaking cool. I seriously can't believe my life this year.

They were right in the middle of a scene, so Hoechlin and I took a seat off to the side and watched an intense scene between Stiles (Dyl) and Lydia (Holland). When Dylan gave me some insider info about season 6, I got a little nervous. I know Holland and Dylan are JUST friends, but they are very close. So I was afraid I might get a little jealous whenever I saw them kissing on screen. But as of right now? Not a hint of jealousy. I'm actually really excited for the new season to come on TV.

After Jeff Davis yelled cut, Dylan and Holland walked off the sound stage. Tyler yelled Dylan's name and I saw his face light up when he saw me. He took off running over to where we were sitting.

"There's my baby dinosaur! I was worried that Tyler had kidnapped you." He hugged me tight and then released me, giving me quick peck on the lips.

I glanced over at Tyler who just shrugged. "Told ya."

Holland walked over and gave me a hug. "Charlie! It's nice to meet you. Even though, as much as Dylan talks about you, I feel like I already know you."

"Apparently you aren't the only one." I said with a laugh.

"Come on, Posey is in his trailer, he's dying to meet you."

I waved to Hoechlin and Holland as Dylan dragged me away.

"I'm seriously glad you're here. I don't doubt we can handle distance, but it was so weird to go from seeing you every day and night for 8 weeks to not seeing you at all for a week. I don't think I could've handled longer."

A giggle passed through my lips. "I missed you too, pickle. Alicia invited us over to a celebration dinner party tomorrow night. She invited Hoechlin and his girlfriend, and whoever else we wanted to bring."

He nodded as he held the door open for me. "I'll invite Posey and Holland. Maybe Sprayberry, Shelley, Cody, and Arden. I don't know. How was the last week? I know we talked last night, but you didn't say much about it."

My shoulders lifted and fell with a shrug. "It was amazing. I cried when we watched the final cut, so just be prepared for the premiere." He rolled his eyes and smirked but didn't interrupt me. "Wes is going to do a movie about Norse Mythology called Fall of Gods and he asked if I wanted to head it up with him. He would be more in the background if I joined, but it would be a great opportunity to get my name out there more and he would still be there if I needed help."

"Really?! What did you say?"

"I said yes! I'm a huge fan of Norse mythology, Vikings, and all that. So to work on that film would just be so exciting I think. And it definitely would help build my cred without flying on my own just yet. And of course, I'll take the opportunity to work with Wes again any day."

He stopped walking and looked at me, eyes full of excitement. "Baby, that's awesome! One internship and you're turning into a bigshot. I'm so proud of you."

Lifting up on my tip toes, I kissed him. "Thank you. That really means a lot. It won't be until sometime next year though, so I won't have to worry about anything but Death Cure promotions and such for a while."
