I had driven Alessio home and then myself.

I was tired so I said goodnight to my family and then I headed upstairs to my room.

I didn't really care what I was wearing I just laid in my bed and fell asleep.

I woke up around 8 am. "To early!" I groan into my pillow.

I try to fall back asleep but I don't succeed. I end up taking a shower.

When I get out, I check my phone and see a text from Alessio.

Alessio: Btw we have an interview today about the show. i'll drive us

Me: what time

Alessio: three hours

Me: ok. see you then.

Why didn't I know about this interview until just now.

I go downstairs and eat a bowl of cereal and then I get ready for the day.

I slip on a white shirt and a beige/pink skirt that's a little tighter. I tuck in the shirt and then I slip on a big flannel that's dark blue, white, and beige.

I just put on my usual shoes and leave my hair down.

The door bell rings after about an hour of waiting and I open my door and walk down the stairs.

My dad is talking to Alessio but Alessio sees me.

"Ready?" I ask him.

He nods and we both say goodbye to my dad. We get in the car and Alessio drives off.

"How long is this interview?" I turn down the music.

"It's not supposed to be that long. Everyone will be there. Winn, Benji, and China."

I smile, Winn and China have grown to be older siblings to me and Benji is like a little brother. I'm kinda over protective of him.

"You did not tell me that we were being interviewed by Ellen!" I yell as we walk into the building.

Alessio laughs and looks over at me, "Surprise!" he says weakly.

Alessio looks tired. I shrug it off. I'm tired too so it makes some sense.

We see the rest of the cast and I hug them all.

"Hey kiddo!" Winn says to me.

Winn is like twenty or something. I don't even know.

Soon Ellen calls us out and we walk out there, waving to the crowd and hugging Ellen.

We all sit down and she starts talking, "So your guys show came out on Netflix recently."

We all nod and smile, "If I'm being honest I watched it all in like three days. Really good show. I recommend it to all the viewers out there."

The interview continues and then she starts talking about Alessio and I's relationship on and off screen.

"So, you guys have some romance in the show." Ellen stares.

I giggle nervously, "Yes. We do. Our characters Charlotte and Jayden are love interests." I tell her.

"And you and Alessio are dating off screen as well?" Ellen questions us.

I look at Alessio and he looks at me, "Uh, yeah we are. I guess us being together makes it easier to have romance in the show."

Eventually Ellen makes us all play a game. I don't know how to describe it, so I won't.

"And that's all for our amazing new friends here! Don't forget to check out their show out right now on Netflix!" Ellen announces.

We all wave goodbye and before we leave Alessio kisses my cheek and the audience goes wild.

My face goes all red and Alessio starts laughing and pulls me out from the stage.

We all sit backstage for a little bit because we don't want to leave yet but Benji comes up to Alessio and I, "Can you guys drive me home? My mom works at a hospital and she had to leave."

"Yeah, we can take you home. Bye everyone." We all wave goodbye and get into Alessio's car.

"Anyone want ice cream?" Alessio asks when we get in the car.

Benji and I both want ice cream so we start to drive there. I end up paying for everyone's ice cream but I don't mind.

"Where's your house Benji?" I ask.

We all finished our ice cream and decided to head back to our houses.

"Take a left here." Benji tells us what to do.

We drive for about five minutes I turn the radio up higher and start jamming out. I look back and Benji is dancing too.

I laugh and look out of my window, "ALESSIO WATCH OUT!"

To late. A car rams into us.

I scream as the car flips over, and then I pass out.

When I wake up I hear people screaming. I look around and see Alessio still unconscious. I try to wake him up but he doesn't.

I look back and see Benji. The poor kid looks awful. I try to unbuckle my seat belt, but I can't. I start hitting things, frustrated because I need to help Benji.

But... I pass out again.

It's a weird passing out. Because I can still hear everything.

I can hear the sirens approaching and I can hear the adult yelling at us to hold on, to stay alive.

Are we really in that bad of shape?

I can soon hear glass breaking and people yelling. "Get her in the ambulance!"

A slamming of doors, and then I can't hear anything at all.
