TEEN CHOICE AWARDS

Layla had just taken a small trip up on her way to an interviewer when she noticed someone standing near her, answering questions aimed at himself. She had just finished answering the current question when she leaned over to her and quietly asked "Is that Chris Evans?" She pointed towards the body she thought was him.

The interviewer, who she'd learnt was named Louisa, looked interested in the question knowing this would get them lots of views online. "Yes it is, do you know him?" Layla shrugged with a small smile on her face, she then realised she was wasting the woman's time and decided to make it worth it. "Truth be told, I used to have a huge crush on him. The Captain America films are brilliant. I've never had the chance to meet him before."

Louisa grinned at the new information before gently nudging her towards him. "Go on then, don't miss out!" Layla smiled towards the camera once more before nodding and sending an appreciative look towards her again.

She ignored the calls from paparazzi - which she felt guilty for - but kept squeezing through the crowds of people to reach him.

As she neared Chris and his interviewer, she hoped he wouldn't get mad if she slightly crashed the interview. She peered over his shoulder and the person who was asking questions stopped and his face lit up for a second, noticing how she was standing there.

Chris himself turned around noticing his attention was elsewhere and he froze when he made eye contact with Layla. "I noticed you from over there and I had to come say hi, I hope you don't mind?" She spoke, mainly directed to Chris but she flickered her eyes to the interviewer and noticed how he shook his head. "Not at all, I was hoping to see you here tonight anyway!"

Layla let out a nervous sigh of relief at his words and went in for a hug. Chris was slightly surprised, he had assumed that his attraction to her was a one way thing. Now he had faith for more that he had hoped for. They both relaxed in each other's hold and Chris tightened his grip for a second before he released her and took a step back.

The interviewer, Jack, was smirking as he looked between the two, knowing something was up with the pair.

"Well, I should probably let you two continue so I'll see you later?" Layla asked hopefully. Chris nodded enthusiastically "Of course, at the after party?" Layla grinned at his reply with a nod. "I'll see you then." She then waved towards the interviewer and the camera before leaving.

It was currently 11pm and the after party had just began. Layla was sat by the bar with Zendaya as they caught up with each other since the last time. She was swirling the alcoholic drink she had in her hand as she listened to Zee talk about set life with Tom.

"How is Tom? I haven't seen him in months." Layla spoke softly, she had missed her best friend so much. All the FaceTime calls were nothing compared to his company in real life. "He's alright, says he misses you a lot. He can be a right pain in the ass on set though." Layla laughed with a grin on her face. "Sounds like him. Tell him I miss him too and I can't wait to see him at the album release party." Zee smiled lightly as she spoke about Tom, the girl also had a close friendship with the new spiderman and she adored the connection Layla had with Tom.

"Just one week until the world hears On Hold!" Zee exclaimed. Layla grinned in excitement. "I can't wait till this album is finally out, I feel like I held it off for so long due to who the songs I originally wrote were about."

Zendaya teased her slightly "And obviously this album is your best because it has me on it." Layla nodded with raised eyebrows. "You're right though, On Hold is one of my favourite songs I've written, and you being featured on it makes it better."

Layla noticed somebody making their way towards the bar, a couple feet away from her and quickly looked away. Zee followed her previous direction and spotted Matt Daddario ordering a drink, the only difference from the last time she met him was that he had a new girl standing beside him. She looked back down towards Layla with a sympathetic smile. "Don't look at me like that. I don't love him anymore, I'm happy he's moved on too."

Zendaya held her hands up in fake surrender as she raised an eyebrow. "Okay Lay, if you say so." Layla shook her head as she laughed under her breath at her friend.

"Speaking of moving on, look behind you." Layla turned around in her seat to find Chris Evans walking into the crowded bar. "No, don't you dare." She said with a pointed look at her friend, knowing what she was about to do. "Hey, Chris!" She yelled over the loud music to get his attention. Layla groaned under her breath in embarrassment. Chris snapped his head towards the pair at the bar and his eyes lit up as he noticed Layla sitting there. "Well, that's my cue to leave. Don't want to be caught up in all your flirting. I'll text you later."
