Broken Star // Chandler Riggs Fanfiction

Chapter 20

"Stand over there Ashley," one of the producers directed me over to a part of the set, he told me how I was supposed to act.

"So Ricks group will find you, you have to act tough but then soften up because you're a teenage girl who's alone and needs help," they explained to me my part.

"Alright everyone get ready!" One of the directors yelled. I stood in my directed spot, I could barely see Chandler through the thickness of the trees, he was wearing his signature costume, with his sheriff hat.

"Action!" Someone yelled. I heard a sharp beep noise and I heard everyone else saying their lines. I took a quiet breath before preparing myself to emerge into the character.

I sat down by my fire comfortably. I picked up a dead prop squirrel, and pretended to skin it like I was supposed to. I heard the group approaching me. I whipped around, putting on a scared and defensive.

"Drop your weapons," Rick growled. I held out my gun, pointing it at Rick. My hand shook, Rick made it obvious he saw my hand shaking.

"How old are you?" He said with his thick accent, lowering his gun a little.

"Old enough to handle this," I snarled. I saw Carl stroll out from behind Rick.

"Carl, get back," Rick put his hand on Carl's chest, pushing him behind him.

"Dad, she's just a kid," Carl protested.

"Rick she is just a teen," Daryl agreed, lowering his cross bow a little.

I slowly lowered my gun a little, I let a little nervousness show on my face.

"Please don't hurt me," I squeaked. I dropped the gun, and it landed on the thick leafy ground.

"And we're clear!" I heard a manager yell. I relaxed my face. It was odd acting with people I knew so well, but I didn't mind.

We shot a few scenes, and finally it was getting about time to wrap up for the day.

"Alright everyone, great day today, see you all tomorrow!" One of the producers smiled. We all cheered, and slowly we all went our seperate ways.

"Hey you wanna head downtown with me?" Chandler jogged up to me, pulling me into a hug.

"Of course, let's go," I smiled. He drove us downtown, he found a parking spot and we both started walking around. I felt him gently squeeze my hand, I pecked him on the lips.

"Oh my god, I totally ship you guys!" I heard someone say. I turned to see a teenage girl standing there. She asked for a picture with both of us, as well as autographs. I know many people complain about fans, but I don't, they are a blessing and anyone would be lucky to have fans.

"Thank you so much!" The girl waved goodbye and scurried off.

"No problem," I grinned.

Chandler and I strolled downtown, looking into the windows of the shops.

"Chandler there's a pet store! We should totally go in!" I smiled excitedly.

"Sounds cool," he smiled, pulling me closer to him. I pushed open the door, and I was met with refreshingly chilling air conditioner. There was a small booth set up with cages with kittens.

"Chandler! Look at the kittens!" I grinned. I had only had a pet once. When I was six I had a hamster, which died after one year.

"Come here Cinn!" I cooed into the cage. My hamster was balled up in the corner of the cage. I didn't reach my hand out, my hamster hated being woken.

"Wake up Cinny!" I said impatiently. I nudged a carrot at her, but she still was curled up.

"Mom!" I shouted. She walked over.

"What's wrong darling?" She looked past me into the cage, her mouth shaped into a small shocked face.

My mom reached into the cage with a napkin, scooping up my hamsters fragile body. My hamster lay limp in my mothers hands.

"Honey. We can bury it," my mom said sympathetically. I nodded sadly. I decorated a shoe box, and we set her inside it. I watched as my dad shoveled a small grave, setting the box inside the hole. I felt tears coming to my eyes, and I ran to my room in tears.

Cinny had been my only pet. I rushed over to the kitten booth, Chandler jogging to catch up with me. I gently petted the kittens through the cage.

"Would you like to hold one?" The woman behind the booth asked. I nodded. She handed me a skinny kitten. She looked like a tiger, with the golden and black pattern on her. She had hints of bronze and orange on her sides. Her nose was a mix of soft pink, and dark brown. Her beautiful green eyes were the color of the deep forests leaves.

"She's beautiful," I cooed. I gently took the kitten in my arms. I felt her claws hook onto my shirt and onto my skin. I didn't mind the slight sharpness of her nails. She meowed nervously. I cradled her and she quieted down. Chandler watched me, with a small smile on his face.

"Do you want to hold her?" I asked. He nodded. I hooked the kitten off me. I had many scratches on my arm, some from the cat, others from my days with my dad.

The kitten immediately hooked itself onto Chandler's shirt. Chandler cradled it like a child, rocking it back and forth. Eventually we handed it back to the lady.

"That kitten was so adorable," I cooed as we walked along the sidewalk. My phone started ringing, and I picked it up.

"Hey Ashley!" I heard Wes chime on the other side.

"Oh what's up Wes?" I asked smiling reassuringly at Chandler. He put his arm around me as we walked.

"Hey, if you guys aren't busy there's gonna be a raging party this Friday, some of my classmates are throwing it," Wes proposed excitedly.

"Yeah sure, I'll see if Chandler wants to come," I agreed.

"Great, it'll be your basic high school party, just saying," Wes reminded before we both hung up.

"What was that about?" Chandler asked.

"There's a party on Friday? Do you want to go?" I asked excitedly.

"Sure, I'm all free for you," he said smugly.

"We could livestream tonight," Chandler suggested, glancing on his phone.

"Sure, let's head back and film it in my trailer," I suggested.

I clicked around the livestream site, Chandler and I were sitting on my couch, with my laptop webcam pointed at us. We had just posted on twitter about our livestream. A smile flicked on my face as I started the stream. I saw the number of viewers grow rapidly.

"Hey guys!" I grinned at the camera.

"We're gonna do some q&a today from twitter!" Chandler announced.

Chandler and I rapidly answered questions, and we were flooded with many more.

"I'm going to go get some water, be right back," I excused myself. I went into the next room. I heard Chandler whispering to the livestream.

"Alright, you guys wanted me to kiss Ashley, when she gets back I'm going to surprise her," I heard him say faintly. I blushed a little, I walked back into the room and sat down next to Chandler. He swiftly wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me in quickly for a peck on the lips.

"Chandler," I blushed, I threw my arms around him hugging him tightly. I never wanted to lose him.

Okay here was a short chapter, I know I said this was on hold, and it still technically is. I just really wanted to update for you guys, just now I won't be updating on an actual schedule. I've started reading the GoT books so I can improve my GoT ff I'm working on. I'm also super sad/excited, the GoT season finale is in 15 minutes. Also on my edits account ( @everything.edits ) I've been posting video edits daily, most of them are twd/got related.
Anyways, enjoy this update.
