~~~~~~~~~~

I walk down the street taking in my new house for the next few months. My dad is directing another movie and we are shooting it exactly where it happened. I'm glad to have a change of scenery and to experience a different part of the world then New York. I always love when my dad asks me to come with him. I walk up to the hotel and am greeted by my dad with open arms.

       "Dad" I say excitedly as I hug him. "Thank you so much for inviting me! It's so pretty here!"

       "I'm glad you like it sweetheart." He says before he gets someone to help me with my luggage and leads me to our room. I unpack and look at the view that the giant hotel windows were showing. Waves crashes on the beach as people walked up and down it, soaking up the sun. My dad didn't start filming until tomorrow so I decided to take time to do my homework. Even though my dads a very successful director, I still have to go to school and get an education. I am majoring in film just like my dad did. He might even let me direct part of the movie!

       It wasn't long until the sun had set and it was time for dinner. My parents asked the hotel desk if they had any recommendations on places around to eat. My parents are always looking to try new things. We head to a nice cafe not too far from the hotel and enjoy the meal together. I could tell my dad was really excited for tomorrow because he couldn't sit still and kept smiling. My dad usually a very serious man so we don't see him smile that often but when we do, it lots up the whole room. After dinner we walk back to the hotel and turn in for the night.
        I wake up the next day extremely jack lagged and tired. The sun is streaming in signaling me to get my ass up and moving. I shower and get ready for the day before I order room service for breakfast. After breakfast I leave the hotel and find my dad and the crew finishing the set up so they can start filming.

      "Just who I wanted to see," my dad says as he sees me, "I want you to meet some of the cast. After all you will be directing them for a bit."

      My eyes widen in shock, "oh my god, are you serious?" My dad nods his head "THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" I shout hugging him earning a smile and a laugh. I let go of him and we walk to a tent that's set up. Under it there was tons of people in costume going over their limes and doing final preparations for the movie.

       "Harry, fionn, Tom, aneurin, Come here for a sec." my dad calls into the tent as four young guys walk out. "Guys I'd like you to meet my daughter piper," my dad says. I extend my hand out shaking each of them. "She will be directing part of the movie so I'd like you guys to make sure you get to know each other." We all nod our heads as he leaves.

        "So who is playing who?" I ask.

         "I'm playing tommy" fionn said.

         "Alex" Harry said excitement lacing his words. I could tell this was his first movie.

        "I'm playing Peter Dawson," tom said and smiled proudly.

        Aneurin looked down at the ground before saying, "Gibson." He looked back up and smiled shyly.

        "I can tell already that this movie is gonna kick ass! You guys are gonna do great. A few tips to score a few brownie points with my dad is to be have fun but be serious when you need to. Don't forget to be yourself." I say hoping that they find comfort in what I say. Being in a movie that's directed by such a influential man in the industry is pretty intimidating. Trust me I know. I'm his daughter. The boys and I hang out for a bit, getting to know each other. The tent is full of laughs and I can already tell we're going to be great friends.

       "Piper," my dad interrupts us "there's one last person I'd like you to meet." We walk out of the tent and that's when I see him. The short blonde hair that fell perfectly on his face, those blue eyes that were the color of the ocean. He was tall and his shirt clung to slightly showing the outline of his muscles. My mouth hung open as I took in the view. I new from that moment. Nothing will ever be the same.
