"good luck! i'll see you later." ross smiles, kissing my cheek. i sigh, nervously. waving him off since he dropped me off. he wanted to wait here with me, but i told him not to, that would only stress me out more.

i confidently walk inside. i was at the warner bros studio, and i approached the front desk. "how may i help you?" the receptionist asks.

"i'm laura marano. i'm here to audition for, him and i. the abc series coming out." i say, smiling.

the middle aged woman smiles. "right. follow me this way."

i follow her down a long hall and see her stop at the door that says auditions abc. him and i.

"good luck." she smiles. i open the door and look at the hundreds of people waiting. a man by the door, asks for my name and hands me a sticker, with four numbers on it. 2295

i take a seat next to a guy who looked my age. his number was one ahead of mine, i was trembling from being so nervous, and he noticed.

"you alright?" he chuckles.

"yeah." i smile, "just nervous."

he had soft brown coloured eyes, and dark brown hair. his teeth were angelic white, and he had plump lips lining them. his hand rests on my thigh as he smiles. "don't be."

my eyes wander down to his hand, and i chuckle uncomfortably, crossing my leg over the other so he'd remove it. "who are you auditioning for?"

"eli smith." he responds.

"the bad boys best friend" i smirk. "interesting." i chuckle. ross was playing the bad boy, jake moore.

"and you?" he asks.

"olivia benson." i respond. ross' love interest.

"2295" a woman calls out. i look down at my sticker and my stomach turns.

"that's me." i sigh, "wish me luck."

he smirks. "good luck, babe."

after my audition, i felt quite confident. i laughed and cried in that room, and i felt like a psycho path, but i guess that's what comes with being an actress.

i left with a smile on my face, and confidently walked back out. andrew landed last night, and we arranged for him to pick me up after my audition so we could grab a drink and catch up.

"hey actress-to-be." he smirks, pulling up. "hop in."

"i think my audition went well." i smile.

"that's good. i hope it did." andrew tells me.

we decided to drive to a pub near by. i ordered a screw driver and he ordered a beer. "so what's new?"

i shrug. "nothing really."

"oh come on. when were you planning on telling me that you're moving here?" he asks.

my eyes widen. "how'd you find out?"

"your mom told me, i swung by your house before i left to give her a dish my mom borrowed, and she asked me if i heard the news." he explains.

i sigh, "i was going to tell you once i knew for sure."

"what's wrong? are you having second thoughts about it?" andrew asks.

i shake my head. "no, i'm happy with ross and all. it's just, i've been keeping a huge secret from him."

andrew's eyes soften. "what is it laura?"

"when me and ross got into our first argument, months ago. his brother rocky followed me to the beach and comforted me, he thought we were having a moment and—"

"did you kiss ross' brother?" andrew gasps.

i shake my head. "he was going to kiss me. but i told him i couldn't."

"so you didn't kiss?" he asks.

"we didn't." i assure him.

"so then what's the big deal?" andrew asks.

"he hasn't left me alone about it since." i sigh, rubbing my face with my hands. "it's everyday, he calls me and texts me to meet up so we can talk about it. but there's nothing to talk about, it's not like i kissed him."

"i think he feels lead on." andrew sighs. "maybe you should just talk to him and explain to him that it was all a misunderstanding and you feel nothing."

i nod. "i just don't know why he feels that way. it's not like we kissed, it's not like we had a moment. he's the one who feels that way."

andrew shrugs his shoulders. "maybe he needs to hear it from you." he takes a sip of his beer. "and ross doesn't know?"

i shake my head. "i didn't think i had to tell him since we didn't kiss. it was literally a normal moment, but he's blowing it out of proportion."

"i agree. maybe keep it between you and rocky, i can ross snapping." andrew chuckles.

i sigh, "me too."

"your phones vibrating." he says, passing me my phone.

"it's rocky." i groan, answering it.

"rocky! you have to stop calling me i'm getting
annoy—"

"laura?" ross cuts me off.

my eyes widen and i shut my mouth. "r-ross, hey!"

"hi?" he says awkwardly. "i was just calling to let you know that i came to visit my mom but my phone died, and that's why i'm calling off rocky's. is everything alright?"

i rub my forehead with my palm. "yeah, everything's fine. thanks for letting me know. is violet with you?"

"yeah. i'll be home soon." he responds.

"okay. see you soon." i sigh, and the line ends.

"maybe you should tell ross." andrew bites his lip.

i shake my head. "no way."
