I'm Fine

Ch. 1

~Kelli's P.O.V.~

I walked on set and into Billy's dressing room. I was early so I'm surprised to see him here.

"Kelli, what's up?" Billy asked. I flopped on his couch.

"Nothing. I'm fine." I said.

"Oh really, fight me." Billy said. I saw what he was doing. I can always beat him unless I'm focused on something else.

"No. Billy, I'm fine." I tell him. I can see in his eyes he not letting this go. I can always hope though, right?

"If you're truly fine, come fight me." Billy said. I get up and into a fighting stance. He does the same. I throw the first kick. I miss him by a foot. He quickly grabs my foot and flips me. I land on my feet and punch him. He grabs my arm and makes me do a front flip I don't land. I flop on the ground and he leans over me. "You're not fine, Kelli."

"Yes, I am." I say, getting impatient.

"Then you would've have done something as stupid as kick a foot from my face, then try and punch me." Billy tells me. That's the thing, we both do karate so we can fight each other. I'm a third degree black belt and he's a second degree black belt. Almost third though. So, it's always a pretty even match.

"Shut up. I'm tired." I tell him. He looks at me.

"You're tired. But there's also something you're hiding from me." he says. I can tell if Spencer doesn't interrupt us, I'm gonna spill and tell him.

"Hey guys!" Spencer yells walking in as if on que. Perfect timing. I sigh in relief.

"This conversation isn't over, Kelli." Billy says as he gets up. I decide to go sit on his beanbag so I get up and walk over to it. But something catches my eye.

"Food!" I yell and run towards the table. Billy and Spencer crack up as I grab the burrito and start to eat it.

"Yeah, I got that for you. Enjoy." Billy smiles. I smile back since my mouth is full of food.

~Billy's P.O.V.~

I can't help but know something is wrong. Kelli is never early to work, always beats me in a fight, and is always more dramatic when she flops on my couch. I don't want to invade her privacy, but I really want to know what's up.

"Spencer, they have bacon in the back." I tell him. Spencer jumps up and runs down the hall. "Now talk to me."

"Nope." Kelli says turning her head. "I need to go get dressed for the first scene." she says and leaves. I sit back down on my couch for a few minutes until I hear my name called.

"Billy!" Kelli yells. I get up and go into her dressing room. She turns around and lifts her hair up.

"What's up?" I ask walking over.

"Can you zip the mission suit up please?" she asked. I zip up the suit and she turns around.

"What's wrong?" I ask. I can see sadness and fury in her eyes. I don't have time to react before she reaches out and flips me on my face.

"I'm not telling you." she says. Then her eyes soften and start to water. I get up and open my arms.

"Want a hug?" I ask. She starts crying and nods. I walk over and hug her. She burries her face in my shoulder and wraps her arms around my neck. I hug her back and just wait for her to calm down. She cries for ten minutes then stops and just sits quietly on the couch, still in my arms.
