Always~ r5 fanfic

Chapter 21

Monday came soon enough and so did rehearsal. A wonderful perk of being the star of a movie is that I was taken out of school! I still have an on set tutor but at least I don't have to deal with Brit! Everyone decided it was best for Riker and I to go to set alone so we can settle in before having them come and watch.

The drive was silent, spare R5's new EP coming through my radio. Stay with me is by far my favorite. It's kinda how I feel about R5, cause I know after their bus is fixed and the movie is done.. They're gone.

With that oh so happy thought, we pulled into the parking lot of the stage where we'd be filming the first part of the movie.

Riker and I got out, I was actually a little frightened. I've never been behind the scenes of a movie let alone the star of one. "Hey, it's okay. I'll be right here." Riker smiled at me. I gave him a feeble attempt at a smile as we walked through the doors.

"My leads!" The director shouted as people rushed us, I lost Riker in the sea of people and was shoved into a dressing room. Well so much for rehearsing, looks like we're filming. I changed into the outfit they gave me, I wasn't pleased. The first scene was of Emily getting dumped at the prom and then her parents spilt up, an ugly split up too. Both parents end up in prison.

Sooo of course prom dresses are usually very....gody and revealing, well this one was too. It was head to toe pink, the bodice was all beaded and sparkly, the neck line was so low! If I bent down you'd see everything. The hair and make up girl luckily didn't do much to me. She curled my hair and put on a little eye liner and mascara.

I came out of make up and walked onto a beautiful prom set, it's themed seemed to be night in Paris. I saw Riker across the set in a tux, apparently he was an extra for this scene. He locked eyes with me and rushed across the set. "Oh my god, you're in a dress." He said seriously before bursting into giggles, I punched him in the arm before looking down at me feet. His reaction was not the one I was hoping for.

Riker became silent. "I'm only kidding, you look.....stunning to say the least." He said, I looked up at him and saw a little pink rise in his cheeks. I blushed and was about to stutter out a thank you but before I could the director called for everyone to take their places. I ran over to my place where the guy who played my jerk boyfriend for the movie stood.

The director called action and we started we danced around and all that. Riker used improv and shocked me by asking to cut in. He put his hand on my hip and we twirled around the 'dance floor' then my so called boyfriend cut back in and we took back up the script.

The guy broke up with me, I broke into tears and ran out the door. "cut!" The director called. "First take of the whole movie and you're perfect! Riker, Good improv!" The director complimented as he told the crew to change set.

I took a but to stop crying since they were real tears, Riker rushed over to me and put an arm around my shoulder. "Calm down, I know they're fake tears but try thinking of something happy." He suggested, immediately I thought of rocking out with R5, hanging with them, being part of something. My heart lightened with a saddening joy, I knew it would never last and no matter how hard I tried I always brooded over that thought.

I curled into Riker, seeking comfort, Riker wrapped his arms around me and cradled me to his chest until I calmed down. "Thank you Riker, for everything." I smiled at him. I gave Riker a kiss on the cheek before running off to film the next scenes.
