On Tour|| Noah Schnapp

A year later
Ayla's POV

"Ayla hurry up please!" My dad shouts from downstairs while I quickly get dressed.

It's been a year since mine and Noah's break up. The way he broke up with me was brutal. I cried for weeks, months. What he said hurt me but after a while I realised I needed to move on. I'm still trying to forget about him. But I can't stop loving him. I thought he was the one. I thought we were soul mates. I decided to forget about guys and focus on my career, friends and family.

A few months ago the third season of stranger things got released. It's been blowing up everywhere and so many people are loving my character. I've been getting many propositions to cast in other movies. I declined them as I have my youtube channel and also filming season 4 of Stranger things to do. I just wouldn't be able to do it.

Today we were starting to shoot season 4 of Stranger things. I was dreading it so much. Last year it was fun filming because I got to be there with Noah who made me extremely happy. Now even the thought of his name makes me upset.

We don't speak anymore. I've unfollowed him on Instagram and obviously fans have been asking why but I just ignore it all. Whenever we have a cast hanging out day or interview or award shows I stay away from Noah as much as possible. He tries talking to me trying to be my friend which is ridiculous. How could I ever be friends with him after he hurt me so much without even a proper explanation? He's been supposedly dating Annie Leblanc anyway. I wouldn't actually ask him about it. I mean it's not like we're friends or anything.

On the way to set in the car my parents were talking about how excited they were about filming the new season. To be honest it was the best one yet. The script was amazing. But the fact that I had to hug, kiss and hold hands with Noah scared me. I know it was just acting but it's hard.

"Aren't you excited sweetie?" my mom asks looking back at me

"Yeah yeah of course" I say looking down at my script trying not to look nervous

"By the way Are you and Noah okay?" She asks

"Yeah why wouldn't we be!" I ask nervously obviously lying

"I don't know. You guys just haven't really talked or hung out much. It just seemed like something happened. And you know obviously your guys characters are dating so it's important that your friends" She says

She was right. In order for our characters to look good together, I had to be okay with Noah.

We were some of the very first people to arrive. Shortly after everyone else started to arrive.

"Ayla!"

"Millie!"

Me and Millie shout hugging each other.

"I missed you A" She says

"I missed you too Mills" I smile at her

Then I greet everyone else.

When the stylists do my hair and makeup and I get dressed into my outfit I decide to go and talk to Noah.

I knocked at his trailer waiting for him to answer. He opens the door looking pretty surprised.

"Ayla what are you doing here?"

"Can I come in?" I ask

"Sure" he says opening the door wider so that I can come in. He closes the door and we both sit down on the sofas.

"I feel like we just need to talk about this. we are going to be kissing and doing other shit a lot and I don't want it to be awkward, can we put our past behind us and not make it awkward?" I ask

"Yeah of course" he says giving me a little reassuring smile.

"Well um I guess I'll see ya around" I say getting up and heading to the door.

"See ya" he says

In the scenes we shot today thankfully me and Noah didn't have to act too romantical. We just held hands. But I did read the script and we would have to kiss soon. I miss his kisses. How they made me feel safe.

Ugh I need to stop thinking about him. He hates me.
