Keep Holding On

Much to My Surprise

January 5th, 2028

New York, USA

Miley's POV

Today is the day that Liam's on the Tonight Show. I'm excited for him, it's been a long time since he's been on any show. He hasn't been on any show ever since Jessica was a baby. The kids and I will be in the audience to watch Liam.

"Have a good interview." I say to Liam. It was almost time for him to go on.

"I will, have fun watching. Are you sure you don't wanna be backstage?"

"I've never been in the audience before Liam. Besides, the kids will probably behave better in the audience than backstage."

"You're probably right...well I'd better go." I smile and kiss him on the lips before he walks away.

"Have fun."

I go to the audience with the kids and sit towards the front at the end of the isle with them. We got lucky enough that the kids had a good view since they're smaller. As the show started, I told the kids to be quiet.

"Where's daddy?" Jessica asks while Jimmy does his thank you notes.

"He's backstage, he'll be on soon."

Not too long after, Jimmy introduced Liam and he came on.

Liam's POV

"So Liam, your new movie Isn't it Romantic came out not too long ago. How'd that go?" Jimmy asks.

"Yeah, it was great. It was a lot of fun."

"You play an Australian in the movie, was the character originally Australian?"

"No, it was actually supposed to be a British character. But with Rebel Wilson being Australian they figured it'd be good, maybe having her dream guy being Australian. I play two characters sort of. In the beginning I'm a nice guy that's super crazy in love with Rebel's character. In the end which is basically the real world, I'm a rich...well, pretty much an asshole."

"I love the ending, the big choreographed song and dance."

"Well that was basically one of the most terrifying things I've ever had to do." I answer, making everyone laugh. "Well if anyone has ever seen me dance, I'm not that coordinated. This wasn't originally in the script, the director told me maybe six months before the movie came out that we were gonna re-shoot some stuff. He said we're adding a song and dance number for the end of the film. I started thinking of ways I could get myself out of it, and not do it. In the end it was fun and a great way to end the film, so not too bad."

"You dancing all over, it's great to see." He jokes. "You posted this picture on Instagram, you playing the saxophone." He holds up a photo of me playing the saxophone in the movie.

"I've never played the saxophone in my life, but it's super easy."

"Really?"

"Yeah, all you gotta do is blow really hard." Me saying that made everyone laugh. I looked into the audience and the kids were also laughing, even though they probably didn't get it.

"It's really fantastic, let's show everyone a clip. Here's Liam Hemsworth and Rebel Wilson in Isn't it Romantic." Jimmy says before starting a clip of the movie.

"It really is a great movie." He says after the clip ends.

"It was really fun, yeah."

"How was it going back and leaving your family for the whole day while you were filming? This is the first movie you've done in quite some time."
