Chloe's POV

I arrived on set at about 7:15. Noah called me earlier and asked me if it was possible to develop a crush on someone after one day of knowing them. Of course it was! He said there was this girl, Jules? I think? And apparently she was really pretty. He wants me to become friends with her because he thinks we would get along. I saw someone walk out of Millie's trailer. She was gorgeous.

I walked up to her.

"Hey, I'm Chloe."

"Nice to meet you, Chloe! I'm Jules." She hugged me.

"So your the gorgeous girl Noah can't shut up about..." I watched her cheeks heat up. "Jules... I'm 89% sure he's in love with you. As his sister I have to warn you though that as sweet as he may seem, he will NOT EVER leave you on your own. EVER. His last girlfriend committed suicide. Noah wouldn't come out of his room for 2 weeks. All because he thought it was his fault for not being there. You must be really special to him because he's terrified. He's so scared he will let you down. But he wants you to be safe. He wants you to be safe with him. He face timed me today and started crying because well this was after you..."

"Cut myself?"

"Yeah. But he was really upset, Jules. He doesn't normally cry. Only when he needs to." I say down and Jules sat next to me. We sat there for somewhere between 5 minutes to an hour? Just getting to know each other. I saw Noah walk out of his trailer. He looked like a mess. He had his hood on but you could just see his tear stained face. He looked over at us and went the other way. He actually walked off set. He went along a small path that I knew all to well. That small path led to a spot Noah goes when he can't focus. Or in this case can't find any joy.

"Is this my fault?" Jules asked with tears in her eyes.

"No... no it's not your fault. I know where he went. He goes there when he needs meaning. It's sorta like his happy place. Why don't you give him five minutes then I'll tell you where to go to find him."

"Okay." Her lip quivered and she burst into tears.

"Awe... it's okay. It's not your fault." I put my arms around her. "Go down that path there. You will see a big oak tree. Turn right. There will be a willow tree just in there. No one knows about it but Noah, me and Noah's old girlfriend. It's beautiful."

"Thank you..." She said before getting up and going into her trailer to get changed into more weather appropriate clothing. It just got a whole lot colder.

Jules POV

Maybe this will be good. I like Noah. A lot. I don't want him to be sad. Maybe this with help both him and me.

I walk down the path looking for that big oak tree Chloe was telling me about. About a five minute walk later it came into view. I turned right. There was a small path through leaves.

I walked through and saw the most beautiful willow tree sitting peacefully next to a stunning lake

I saw twin swings dangling from a relatively thick branch. There was a familiar figure sitting on one of them. I quietly walked over avoiding stepping on any sticks so my presence remained unknown. Noah was looking down. He stood up and threw a pebble into the lake before sitting down again and crying. I stood behind him working up the courage and then sat down on the other swing. He didn't look up. I took his hand from the rope he was holding and held it between the two of us. Still no response. He just held it. Quietly. We stared out at the lake. I broke the silence.

"Wow. It hasn't even been a full day and I've already fucked it up." I said, a silent tear ran down my cheek. You could hear the sadness in my voice. I chuckled a little at the end. He laughed a little.

"No. You didn't fuck anything up." He said. I stood up and grabbed his wrist.

"We're playing tag." He has an almost worried look on his face. "Oh and I'm it so you better run. No mercy!" I yell before tapping his shoulder. "Your it!" He ran after me and I stopped because I was laughing to much. He came up behind me and lifted me up. Tossing me over his shoulder and carrying me like I was light or something.

"PUT ME DOWN!!" I yelled laughing.

"I'm sorry. Weren't you the one who said "no mercy"?" He asked. "So no mercy!!!" He yelled. After about a minute of running with me he FINALLY put me down. We lay on our backs in the warm sunlight. Well really more of a warm sunset. Pink faded from a light purple and into a beautiful orange. I stood up and spun around holing my arms out. Noah took out his phone and took a picture. He propped himself up on his elbows and watched me spin. I lay down next to him, exhausted. I started talking. Just rambling.

Noah's POV

I watched her spin around in circles. The most beautiful girl in the world. I took a picture to post on instagram later. She lay back down and just started talking. She went on about how excited she was to work with us and how her character sounded so fun to play.  I closed my eyes and embraced the moment. She kept going on and on and I was so tired. I propped myself up on one elbow and leaned over her. I hesitated at first our lips just hovering over each other. I really wanted to kiss her but I was scared to let her into my life.

"Noah..." I heard. She must have seen my hesitation. "You don't have to. I know what happened. I know it will be hard to let me in. But really. You don't have-" I smashed my lips onto hers. I closed my eyes and melted into the kiss. She propped herself up on her elbows to deepen the kiss. We pulled away for air.

"What was that for?" She asked, so sweetly.

"Well you wouldn't shut up." I laughed. So did she. "Also because your beautiful. Girlfriend?"

"Yeah."She put her lips back on mine and our lips moved in sync. We heard a camera click. We turned around to see Chloe.  "Chloe? Really?"

"What it was cute! Also I'm posting it." Chloe said and we chased her back to set.
