Ash's POV:
"Action!" We took off filming the moment Serena walks away from Calem and makes her way towards me. He strut was strong since she had been retaking some parts over and over, she practically knew how to walk like a model. The minute I came into the frame, like an instinct, my whole body went to work. Professionally acting out my part that I was given no thanks to Cilan messing up a bit.

The moment Serena and I both touched hands, flashes of old memories came across my mind.

"Take my hand now, you are the cause of my euphoria . . . I hope you know that."

"Here I'll help you down, just take my hand."

"Whenever you feel nervous, just take me by the hand and I will make sure to hold yours tightly, okay?"

"Never give up till the end . . ."

I came to my senses at last to find that I was now giving Serena's hand a peck. Even though my body was continuing on with the script my brain was trying to get it to get back to its senses, I felt my legs grow numb at the realization, I wanted so bad to stop but it grew on me to continue to act in front of cameras no matter how terrible things were around me.

"Cut! That's a wrap for this scene!" My mother called out earning claps from the guys and an excited Serena who bounced up and down with the dress and her converse. Not wanting to be anywhere close to her for a while, I rushed over towards Cilan who was sitting on the trunk of the opened car. "I need . . . I need water." I tried to let out but it had came out as if I had just ran a marathon, wasn't the point but it felt like I did run in a marathon. He handed me a water bottle with a worried expression written all over his face.

"Are you okay? Do you need to sit down?" I shook my head as I practically chugged down the water bottle. "You seem like your coming down with something. Should I be worried?" After drinking the water I took a deep breath. "I'm fine, nothing's wrong with me." I watched as the others were packing up so that we could go to the next setting. "Did you see the whole entire locations your mom had wrote down? She's planning on taking us all over Japan for this project . . ." Cilan spoke up, I just silently heard him out as I watched everyone picking up what they could.

My eyes trailed towards Serena who was helping Calem pack up his camera. They were both talking amongst themselves with huge grins on their faces. "Do you think . . . Never mind, is there any plans with Melody?" It confused me how he was going to ask something but later backtracked himself, it got me to the point I got curious but I kept quiet. I noticed Calem was playfully filming Serena by pretending the camera was rolling, Serena, at first, got shy before realizing what was going on and then followed along to his scheme.

My lips tightened. "I don't want to continue pulling this stunt." I heard Cilan let out a small chuckle beside me. "I see . . . Don't tell me, tell your both her manager and your dad about it." From the corner of my eye I saw Cilan look towards Serena and Calem as well. "Although, I do understand where that's coming from." There was a second of silence before he spoke up again, his voice calm and fatherly.

"You can't be in love with someone when your heart belongs to someone you can never forget . . . someone that once was the reason you smiled." It took me a moment to understand what he was saying and when I did, when I turned to look at him he was just staring at something between his hands. Before I could even speak he revealed what he was playing with this whole time. "Gary gave this to me and told me Serena had dropped it when she first helped us with the song." While he spoke I couldn't help but lick the inside of my cheek the slightest bit.

"I opened it . . . I saw the taped picture of both Serena and Calem." Like before it took me a while to completely understand what he was saying, I turned to him with my eyebrows furrowed together. "Yep," He took hold of my hands and turned it so that the palm was upwards and slapped the jewelry onto the palm of my hand. "Make sure to also take a look at the script . . . Oh, I'll help you carry that Mrs. Ketchum!" Cilan rushed away to help my mother pick up a heavy object.

Curiosity was big but I decided against it, I slid the locket into my pocket and ignored what Cilan had told me to do but his words ran through my head like a song stuck on replay.










A/N: hopefully I am doing well with the transitions and do justice for my plot.
