The practice has been taking up all of my time. Seven days a week and fourteen hours a day. We did three hours of dance, two hours of acting classes, three hours of me helping out people with their sing parts, and six hours of working out plus acrobat practice.

Ethan and I had been working on the acrobat to rewrite the stars for several months. We practiced even outside of the studio and made many many mistakes but we finally did it! After all this time today, we would film. Today we would film rewrite the stars, tomorrow we would film it again if we had to if not we would film another one of our scenes.

When Ethan and I arrived at the set we were swept into our costumes then off to hair and makeup. As soon as we were done they let us on set and gave us a few instructions.

"Okay, so this is your first time filming yeah?" We both nod our heads. "Don't worry about your singing we'll put the voice over on when we edit the movie. The cameras will always be rolling when you're doing the scene even if we're just doing a practice. Don't worry about messing up. If you do it won't be in the movie. This could take one day or this could take one month doesn't matter to us just try we'll keep trying until we get it. Also, you probably won't get the full thing right in one take we'll edit the scene no worries."

We nod our head and start the scene by getting everything together. Changing things as the crew thought needed. By the end of the day we were exhausted, battered, and bruised but that didn't bring us down. The director thought it would be best if we filmed the scene before 'rewrite the stars' in which I go to the theater thinking that P.T. (Hugh) had left me a ticket to the theater. When in fact Philip had asked him to ask me and he left two tickets. Philip and I walk up the stairs to the theater where his parents confront him from being seen with a black woman.

(Yes this does happen in the movie don't hate on me)

This was a fairly short scene but it didn't involve anything that would kill our muscles. When we arrived they did our wardrobe, hair, and makeup after that we got right into the scene nailing it after about five takes so they gave both Ethan and I a few hours in the spa to relax our muscles even more for the 'rewrite the stars' scene.

The next day we worked on some of the smaller things then worked our way up. We nailed the scene in seven tries. Which left us with a few more songs to film until the last few action scenes. Either I would be in the scene or would just watch as they filmed it so here is how my next few weeks went.

Filmed the greatest show, skip ahead to never enough, next never enough reprise, then a million dreams, the reprise of a million dreams, from now on, come alive, tightrope, the other side, and finally, this is me.

Of all of those, I was in five of those. Ethan was in four together we were in three.

The last few years we were working on the last few scenes. Sad I know. Ethan hadn't seen Grayson as much as I have. He was having a lot of fun I really think he had found his new thing.

The twins had stopped posting videos months ago. Their fans were completely in the dark they just knew the twins were working on something but they never said what. The next time they posted a video would be one of their lasts. They had told me they wanted to close the channel so they could begin their lives. They both wanted time to find out where they wanted to go in life and I think they've found their place.

All three of us had been talking about our futures. Grayson wanted to be an actor, Ethan wanted to join the music business, and I would stick with music. Grayson wanted to apply to the Theatre of Arts College for the Contemporary Actor and Ethan wanted to get into my label.

We had also been planning to move out of their apartment. Since the fire, all three of us had been on edge. Infortanly we couldn't go to the trail Summer was sent to jail for ten years and Luca only got six years.

We wanted to move before Luca got out since his sentence was close to ending. We had found a house close to the college Gray wanted to attend but also close to the studio.

Today we would be moving in. All our boxes were in Gray's car we were going out to buy couches, beds, chairs, and stuff like that. When we got there we dropped off all the boxes.

I saw Ethan looking a little off as he moved boxes but I didn't know why. I didn't want to ask cause I thought it was just his muscles aching. Grayson stayed behind while Ethan and I went out shopping for furniture.

He didn't talk much in the car which was weird. When we pulled into the lot it was my park, not a store. The park where I first asked him out. He knocks on my window. I open my door he takes my hand and leads me over to a trail of purple flower petals. At the end was an arch of lights Ethan leads me under it and gets on one knee.

My eyes start to water. "Stella we've been through a lot in the past but I'm ready to make this happy to make you happy for the rest of our lives." I blink away tears "Ethan you've already made me happy." He smiles "Well I want to continue to do that." He pulls out a necklace from his hoodie pocket. "I know it's not a ring I just wanted to be original. Stella, will you do me the great honor of marrying me?" I nod my head.

"Of course!" He stands up puts the necklace around my neck and kisses me passionately. This would be the start of our lives.

 This would be the start of our lives
