Chapter 2

Book 2, Chapter 2: Behind the Camera

After the wedding was over, I headed back to my apartment—When mom and Adam moved in together, me and Bri planned to move in together as well. But like I told you, she moved to LA.. So that didn't happen. Instead I got my own apartment—

I couldn't stop thinking about Grayson. Not that that's a surprise.

I grabbed my phone and read that I had 4 texts.

Grayson: I really can't describe how beautiful you looked.
Grayson: i mean how beautiful you are.
Grayson: I missed you so much.
Grayson: I know it's not fair of me to say that, but I just can't hold it in anymore.
Allison: 😊
Grayson: I'm serious. I've missed you!
Allison: you too.
Grayson: audition please!
Allison: Grayson..
Grayson: I forgot one detail.
Allison: what's that?
Grayson: you won't be doing this alone.
Allison: you're sweet, but I told you.. I can't act.
Grayson: I'll help you go over your lines and get you prepared. Plus I'll be reading lines with you in the audition.
Allison: that's IF I go.
Grayson: yeah ik. Please!!
Allison: fine!
Grayson: You'll need to prepare a song to sing as well..
Allison: um why?
Grayson: be like the Nike slogan, just do it.
Allison: you're such a dork.
Grayson: no, your the dork.
Allison: you're* 😛
Grayson: wowwwww!
Allison: so when is this audition?
Grayson: In two days😬
Allison: Grayson!! That's not nearly enough time to prepare and pack! I'm going to loose my mind.
Grayson: I can come over and help?...
Allison: okay.
Grayson: where do you live now?
Allison: *sends current location*
Grayson: okay. Be there soon.
Allison: What about buying a plane ticket?!
Grayson: I have two tickets already purchased.
Allison: why 2?
Grayson: bc I knew you would give in eventually.
Allison: 🙄
Grayson: lol. Leaving my house now.
Allison: okay.

-20 minutes later-
(As I was writing this I read it in that guy's [on sponge bob] voice, haha)

Grayson: I'm here.
Allison: okay, I'll buzz you in.

I got up and pressed the button to buzz him in.

Allison: I'm in the very top apartment. Enjoy all the stairs.
Grayson: yayyyyy.

About 3 minutes had passed, and Grayson eventually made it up to my apartment.

I'll admit, it was beyond weird.. Having him in there. Especially when we were ALONE!

"So.." I said, as I closed the door behind him.

He smiled and pulled out two packets of papers. He handed one to me.

He flipped over to the first page, and I still hadn't opened mine.

He looked down at his packet and back up at me.

"So the character you'll be auditioning for, is Quinn. She had been said to have died a long time ago, before the series had set it's time period. Quinn is only in 7 out of 10 episodes. 1 of which doesn't have any lines. She sings to my character, Ezra, on the last episode."

"Okay.. I got it." I said nodded my head, in understanding.

He sighed, "I'm sorry.. I can't not do this, every time I see you."

"Do what?" I asked confused.

"This." He dropped his packet on the floor and pressed his lips against mine.
