Fight Song

Chapter 7- Co-star

I locked eyes with Tom, staring so deep into them I couldn't help but feel happy, safe and weak. The scene ended and we both stepped out of character, he flashed me a warming smile. "Sammie that was great, we will call you in the next few weeks." Kevin Said. They begin talking amongst themselves. "Hey that was really good!" Tom smiled. "Thank you." "Well I will see you around, it was lovely meeting you Samantha." "It was great to meet you too." 

Toms POV- 

Samantha left with her friend who's name I've already forgotten, "so what did you think?" Kevin asked. "You know, It was really good, we really bounced off each other energy wise and the scene really flowed nicely.." "I agree." "yes.' "So hypothetically what part would she get?" I asked. They share some awkward looks with one another, "Tom she would play your co-star, like the damsel in distress..." I look at them confused. "but..i" "Yes Tom we know Zendaya was originally gonna be your co-star but when we heard Samantha was interested we thought we'd give it a shot and quite frankly I think we all like her better." Everyone nodded in agreement. I was shocked that they would consider casting someone else but the scene did go a lot smoothly with Samantha than Zendaya. "Does she know?" I sighed. "No she doesn't, because nothing is set in stone, we may change our mind." they explained. 

Zendaya and I have been seeing each other, like dating but I don't think I'm feeling any spark and it's long distance. So maybe her not being my co-star will be a good thing, I want to remain friends but I fear she wants something more. This could be my ticket out and Samantha does seem more my type and a lot more down to earth. 

Samantha POV- 

"That scene was great, they are definitely gonna hire you!" "Em they said they'd call in a few weeks, Tom waited for months and heard nothing. Who knows if I've got it." I replied. "Well even if you don't, you've still got your tour, music and all that! You want be missing out on much." Emily scoffed. "I know, I'm not getting my hopes up. Anyway I need to rest I have a long flight tomorrow to Amsterdam to finish the rest of the tour." "Yes lets get back to the hotel, put on netfilx and order pizza!" "Sounds perfect." I agreed. 

Me and Emily put on a cheesy romcom and stuffed our faces. "When do you go back to work?" I asked. Emily never really knew what she wanted to do, she has loads of talents and skills but she can never decide whats he likes best. "Well I won't be." "What do you mean you won't be going back to work?" I asked concerned. "I got sacked." she sighed. "oh emily no!" "yes i know, its bad but it was a stupid job anyway, I didn't enjoy it, pay was crap so yeah." I hugged her, "it's gonna be okay." "I know." I smiled at her. "Hey why don't you work for me?" I questioned. "What, doing what?" "I don't know but his whole trip you've been helpful, you took phone calls when I was auditioning and wrote down messages, you helped me read lines!" "So I'd be you're assistant?" she asked. "YES!" "ooo sammie I dunno..." "Em think about it, we never argue, you keep me grounded, you'll be traveling the world with your best friend and your job will be making sure I eat good, that I do excerise, wake me up on time and host meet and greets! Doesn't that sound fun?" I try to really sell it to her. Shes one of my bestest friends, having her on tour would be a dream. "and if you get this part you'll need help..." I nodded agreeing with her. We both smiled knowing Emily has agreed to my offer. Next Stop Amsterdam!! 

*two months later

It has been two months since my audition, I have heard nothing. I did get a cheeky follow on Instagram from Tom but thats it. I wish I could see him again. Me and Emily are arriving in paris to do my final show of the tour. We were sat on the tour bus giggling when my phone rang, it was clearly a USA number, 

"hello?"

"Hello Samantha? Its Kevin"

I tried to hold in my excitement "Hi Kevin, How are you?"
