The falling stars (Taron Egerton)

Chapter 17- The show must go on

AN: Sorry it took so long guys! I ended up getting super sick this past week and ended up in urgent care twice, but I'm back and feeling much better! Sorry if it's not great it's been a while anyways, here we go..

I woke to my alarm screaming at me. I heard Taron moan but he didn't budge. It was time to get back to work, unfortunately. I got up still extremely groggy and went to the kitchen to make coffee. Once I started the coffee pot I went to the bathroom and hopped in the shower. A nice hot shower always seems to wake me up more. When I got out I put on my robe and went to the kitchen. I poured myself a cup of coffee and went to wake Taron. I tapped his shoulder and he groaned rolling over. "No." He said, which made me chuckle.

"Yes, sorry but we have to work today." He groaned again.

"I guess." He rolled out of bed and pulled on his clothes. He had to head back over to his place because he had no clothes here and then he could shower and it wouldn't look weird for us to leave the same place incase anyone is watching, like Carly. He kissed my cheek and headed out. "See you in a bit." I sat at the counter and ate some oatmeal I made for myself and drank my coffee staring out the window at the cold English morning. I wanted more than anything to curl up on the couch with Taron and watch movies but we had to work. I put my dishes in the sink for later, then I went to get dressed. Today I decided to wear a white fuzzy sweater and jeans. I didn't put makeup on just some moisturizer because I would have makeup done there. Not long after getting ready I heard the honk of my ride. I grabbed my bag that sat by the door and pulled on a pair of black short heeled booties. I couldn't forget my travel mug of coffee to get me through the day. The driver opened the door for me with a smile and a nod of his head.

"Good morning." I smiled in the rearview to the driver.

"Good morning Ms. Grace."

"Oh please, call me Ella. I'm sorry I never caught your name."

"I am Joesph Evans. You can call me Joe."

"Well I appreciate you driving me every morning Joe, and I'm sorry it took me this long to ask you your name." We spent the rest of the ride talking and getting to know each other more. He was very nice. I waved goodbye when I arrived and headed off to makeup and hair. Kate came and found me not long after I arrived. She had a skillful way of knowing where I was when. If I didn't know any better I'd think she implanted a tracker in me.

"Ella!" She shouted. "Well? How was everything? You have to tell me what happened and what you did." I had told her Taron was coming with me for Thanksgiving but I didn't tell her anything after that so of course she needed updates.

"I'll tell you everything later. How about tonight you come over? We can drink wine and I will spill everything."

"Brilliant!" She was so cheerful for it being so early. I just laughed at her. She went back to set and I got my makeup and hair done. I was hoping it would be a quiet and relaxed morning with some of my favorite hair and makeup gals but Carly came in to get her hair and makeup done too. She began talking about Taron and the wonderful conversation he had yesterday and how she thinks he is flirting with her of course.

"He told me he was away at his parents, that's where he had been for a few days. He said it was wonderful. He's such a family man, it's so sweet." I just smiled at her in the mirror and nodded. I was glad he told he told her he was at his parents because it made the most sense and honestly I never thought of it. She continued to talk about him and how great he was and I just sat and listened until I was done. I quickly thanked them and ran out. I next had to go to wardrobe and get my costume for the day. Who I saw at wardrobe turned my morning around though. I was met with his bright smile.

"Good morning Ella." The flick in his eyes and the smirk on his lips said 'can you believe we are tricking everyone'. I hid my laugh behind my hand.

"Good morning Taron."

"How was hair and makeup?"

"Great, until Carly came in. She couldn't stop talking about you and how wonderful it was you were with your parents. Such a family man you are." I smirked. "How are your parents?"

"Wonderful. I had the best time with them." He had a big genuine smile.

"Good. I had a wonderful time back home too."

"That's great." It felt weird pretended we didn't know what the other had done for the break. We had to be careful, you never know who would sell us out to the tabloids. We got our costumes and walked to our trailers together.

"Plans tonight?" He questioned careful to not ask anything that someone might take the wrong way. We were walking on eggshells.

"Kate is coming by for wine and gossip." I laughed. "I have to tell her about the guy I met over break. He's very nice. You'd like him." I winked at him.

"Oh really? Well, hopefully I'll get to meet him." He smiled at me. We arrived at our trailers. "See you soon." He winked. I nodded back with a smile. It was hard keeping it a secret but it was also kind of fun too. I hung up my costume and took a look at it. It was the same nurses costume but with burns and cuts and blood on it. Today was the big scene where my character saves Taron's characters life. My makeup matched my costume. I had fake burns and dirt on my face. The makeup girls really do amazing. I sat down finishing my coffee before I got dressed and headed to set. It was going to be a long day but I was excited because this was an amazing scene and it was going to be so fun to shoot and most of it was just me and Taron, so that's a plus. Once I was dressed I headed to set and got the directions for the scene before we got set up to start filming. It was finally time to begin.

"And Action!"
