A Story With No End *Robert Manion*

Your POV

I watched as the wheels of the plane touched the ground as my anxiety kicked in about being back in New York
"Here I go" I mumbled to my self then grabbed ahold of my carry-on luggage I walked slowly out of the plane then immediately called Rob on FaceTime while I made my way to baggage claim
"Hey love how was your flight" I saw his face appear on my screen. I shrugged and smiled at him
"Pretty boring" I heard him chuckle
"I don't doubt it" he said as I watched other people's luggage go by on the belt "is Derek picking you up?" He asked as his apartment door opened in the background. I shook my head
"No I'm taking an Uber to his place" I said and grabbed ahold of my suitcase once I saw it come around
"Just be safe" Rob smiled lovingly at the camera
"Gosh you're so cute when you care about my well being" I giggled and walked towards the Uber that was waiting for me I heard him chuckle back at me "How's D/N?" I asked
"Good I think he/she misses you though" he said petting D/N's head. I pouted my lip lightly then smiled
"Hey y/n I heard Jons voice
"Hey. I was wondering who came through the door" I laughed. We talked about literally anything just enjoying the others presence until I pulled up to Derek's house
"Hey hon, I'm gonna go I just got to Derek's"
"Ok beautiful. Talk tonight?" He asked
"Yeah of course! I love you" I smiled
"I love you too"
"Bye"
"Bye" I hung up the call and let out a sigh then rang the doorbell to his house
"Hey! You made it safely" Elycia his wife opened the door and pulled me into a hug
"Hi. Where's Derek?" I asked
"Oh he went to go grab some stuff for your room" she smiled "oh come inside" she moved aside so I could step into the house
"Thank you for letting me stay" I smiled
"Oh it's not a problem! We love having you around, your rooms right down the hall over here" she led me down a hallway to an open door on the right

"It's not much but-" I cut her off
"Thank you. It's perfect" I smiled
"I'll let you get settled" she replied and walked off back down the hall. I set my suitcase in the corner of the room and sighed. I flopped down onto my back on the mattress and stared at the ceiling
"Knock knock" I heard Derek's voice from the door
"Derek" I smiled and got up to hug to older man
"Hey kiddo" he smiled
"Derek you're 2 years older than me" I laughed
"Still older" he said loudly as he left the room. I grabbed a random jacket out of my suitcase and my phone and wallet walking out into the living area
"So you got plans for today?" He asked questioningly
"Yeah I have tickets to go see Alex in Dear Evan Hansen" I smiled at him
"I forgot you two were friends" he replied biting a carrot
"Yup and I wanna meet Andrew. So." He laughed at my reply
"Have fun please don't get lost" he smiled
"I won't. Bye" I waved and exited the house walking towards time square. Thankfully it isn't that far of a walk.
I remembered I had to stop by the theatre to fill out some paper work so I stopped by quickly. I walked to the stage door of the Richard Rogers theatre and smiled as I opened the familiar door
"Ahhh y/n it's great to see you again! Heard you're gonna be Eliza" the door man Charles said
"It's great to be back" I smiled as I walked past him and to who ever I needed to go to. I filled out the paperwork's and stopped by the dressing room that is soon to be mine in a matter of weeks. I smiled as I took one final look at it and made my way over to the Music Box theatre so I could see Alex before the show. I called his phone as I waited outside the stage door
"Y/n! So good to hear from you I saw you joined Team Starkid" his voice came through the phone
"Yup I did and I love it. Quick question though" I said
"Anything ask me anything" I heard him lean back in a chair
"Could you open the stage door it's cold out here" I said and heard him drop something
"You're here?" He asked
"Yup I'm back" I smiled through the phone as I heard him speed walking them saw him open the door
"oh my god" he hugged onto me
"Hi Alex. Good to see you too" I laughed as he pulled away
"Oh sorry" he smiled and pulled away leading me through the stage door and towards his dressing room
"It's not much but hey it's home" he smiled and sat down continuing to add foundation to his face. I recorded him through the mirror for my Snapchat until he saw me
"Excuse me ma'am there's not filming in the theatre" he laughed and I laughed back. I let him continue as I posted it to my story. I snuck a makeup remover wipe and watched as he started to steam his voice.
"Hey Alex" he looked over at me while using his portable steamer "you missed a spot" I said and wiped the makeup from his cheek he rolled his eyes then glared in my direction. I laughed as I posted that one also. I stood up and looked around his dressing room at all his pictures. I smiled when I saw one of us in a frame from when I first moved to New York.

I took it off the wall and looked at it.
"Hello everyone just here to remind you this is your half hour call. Half hour call" a voice rang through the speakers and I hung the picture back up
"Break a leg" I smiled as I exited his dressing room and walked back out the stage door. I waited in the lobby until it was time to take our seats.

I clutched my playbill and waited with all the other fans outside the stage door. Alex was the 3rd person out and immediately looked for me he smiled and signed my playbill then pulled me into a hug
"Hey have you met Andrew yet?" He asked and I shook my head no
"Oh you'll love him" he smiled and signaled over the particular 16 year old
"So you're the 16 year old who got a main role on broadway. Good for you" I clapped and he laughed
"Andrew this is one of my best friends Y/N. Y/N this is Andrew Feldman" we shook hands
"Nice to meet you" he smiled
"Hey Alex I hate to go but it's getting late and I have to walk back to Derek's" I smiled
"Hey give me a sec and I'll drive you" he smiled and signed peoples playbills and took pictures "ok let's go" he smiled and led me to his car
"So did you even watch the guy who didn't like musicals" I laughed
"Huh?" He asked starting the car
"The Starkid show I was in" I chuckled
"Oh yeah of course I did" he smiled "I like that part where the one girl was like I was in Brigadoon in high school and I fucking killed it" he laughed
"Oh Lauren" I smiled "thank you" I said as we pulled up to Derek's
"Yeah of course anytime." He smiled as I waved and walked up to the door. Then to the guest room

*ROBS POV*

I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw people posting clips from Y/N Snapchat story
'Omg y/n and Alex Boniello in the same room I-' 'Y/N IS FRIENDS WITH ALEX BONIELLO' 'I didn't know I needed this friendship til now' 'wait y/n is in New York Y/N IN NEW YORK I CANT-'
I clenched my jaw slightly as I heard them laughing together. Get it together Robert there's no need to be jealous. They're just friends... right. My phone started going off signaling a FaceTime call and I pulled myself out of my thoughts then answered it
"Hey" I heard her beautiful voice
"Hey love, how was dear Evan Hansen" I asked
"Oh so amazing" she smiled getting comfortable in her bed. I listened to her gush about how amazing it was to see a show she had loved for so long. And how amazing Andrew was in the role
"I'm glad you liked it love" she yawned as her eyes slightly closed as she fell asleep. I watched her peacefully sleeping and smiled contently then started to fall asleep myself
"Goodnight Rob, I love you" I heard her tired voice
"I love you too" I responded back then let sleep take over

A/n
Ok so like. I wanna start another book, and I can't decide who it should be about cause I have stories in my head for all three of them but do you want a 1. Brian Rosenthal 2. Dylan Saunders or 3. Joseph Walker. All 3 would be set during apocalyptic tour.
Also yes. I love Derek Klena and Alex Boniello. Fun fact. When I was like 5 I was in the same theatre group as Derek Klena. Ain't that wild. Of course I didn't know it at the time cause. I was 5. But then my mom found out that he's like my favorite broadway actor and decided to tell me. So cool thanks mom. Now I wanna meet him even more.
Ok that it's. Bye bye.
