'I am soooo tired' I literally cried 'it will all be worth it' jess said and I groaned as I sat on the train, flossy was on the other side in her little seat and jes was doing my hair, I'm not aloud any makeup on because my character is only 13, we got her description emailed to us last night she's small which is good because I'm small for a 15 year old, she has long mousey hair the description actually said 'longer than Maxine's' which I guess is good because I do have longer hair mines just past my bum and in the episodes I've seen Max's only goes below her bra strap and the character I play is bubbly around familiar people and really quiet and in talkative around new people or people she's only met a phew times, I have to collect one of the village school uniforms to film my first 2 scenes then when I've finished school I dress quite girly and grown up for a 13 year old if you ask me, they sent pictures of my characters style and it's sort of like skirts with tights and posh tops with like cardigans,blazers and fury jackets just like Maxine's style I guess but from the kids section in shops. 'Ouch mum' I said as she pulled at a not 'did you brush this properly' she asked 'yes..I can't help that it's bum lengths and curly' I said 'I'm nearly done now and we are nearly there so drink up and get your bags ready' she said 'time is it' I asked '10.00 and it takes 30 minutes in a taxi from the station' she said and I nodded and grabbed everything and shoved stuff in the bin I didn't need and put my bag over my shoulders I've brought some of my own clothes for the after school scenes I brought a tartan green pinafore just like what the models wearing on the side picture with my black tights and a white blouse tucked in with my black fury jacket, my black boots with a gold buckle on and a matching necklace.

'Im too nervous' is said as we got out the taxi 'the sister/daughter of little mix's Jesy, an actor and a drama student and your nervous' jess laughed 'this is a lot bigger than just acting to a small audience' I said and she put the car seat down and held on to my shoulders 'everything is going to be fine I promise' she said kissing my forehead and I nodded and noticed a young woman and a man come out the front doors 'oh no' I said and jess turned around 'come on let's go over,get flossy' she said and I picked her car seat up and we walked over to the young man and woman 'hello' the man said first and I smiled and said hello back and Jesy said hello too 'I'm nikki and I play Maxine and I'll be your on screen auntie/mum' she smiled 'and I'm Danny and I'll be your stepdad' he laughed and hugged me 'if I get the part that is' I nervously said 'I have a strong feeling you will,you look perfect for it to me' nikki said and I smiled 'come on in then' Danny said holding the door open and I walked through holding felicitie 'this way' nikki said holding a door open that said green room on and I was shocked and shakey everyone well most of the cast was sat there even my flipping two favourites anna and kirsty who play sienna and leela 'hello' said Steph who plays sinead 'hiya' I smiled hugging her back with my free hand 'I'm ruby nice to meet you I play peri lomax' a young girl came up to me 'Elizabeth but call me Eliza' I said smiling 'awww who's this' she said as she dropped to the car seat 'this is felicitie' I smiled 'how old are you' she asked '16' I smiled 'you have a baby' she laughed and I shook my head 'no she's my sister my mums...there' I said pointing as she walked in 'I know you' kirsty said as she stud up and came over to us 'little mix..right' she asked and my mum nodded 'oh my god your mums in little mix' ruby asked 'yeah she's just a normal person to me though' I laughed 'yeah of course' kirsty said coming and putting her arms around me 'I'm so nervous' I laughed 'don't be babe we all did this at one point' kirsty smiled 'your first scenes are with our ruby anyways' she smiled 'can I get her out' ruby asked and jess nodded 'right okay I need to kidnapp Eliza from you all' nikki smiled and I followed her out and left my mum and sister in there and we went to a little room. 'Just need to go over some things babe' she smiled getting papers out 'fill these out for me' she asked and I smiled and nodded and filled the two sheets outs 'is there anything we need to know...I mean with you being under 18 you can either come and bring mum with you or come alone and be under my care throughout work days so we just need to know anything so we can protect you as best we can if mum doesn't come' she asked and I nodded and sighed 'I'm not aloud in contact or by my brother and mum' I said and she looked confused 'but she's in there' she said 'she isn't my real mum,she's my sister' I said 'oh can you let me know what's happened or not' she asked 'of course but why do you need to know when i could not get the part' I asked 'babe you are the part, your the only one that agreed to do it' she smiled and I started crying 'oh my god..' Was all that came out and I then went on to tell her everything 'well a couple of months back..May..I was Gabriella in our schools musical high school musical and at the end of it we had a big party and my big brother was there because he was dating my bestfriend Siri she was older than me by 2 years but that didn't matter, anyways I was a little over drunk and had to be picked up my now ex boyfriend helped get me home and then the next day I was being asked questions about where I'd last seen josh and Siri and I couldn't remember and it got left at that till a few hours later the police came josh and Siri had been found but they where dead' I said and she moved closer and put her arm around me 'I didn't take it well, I'm sooo close to all my siblings, you see I have an anger problem I never used to take my Ritalin and I was bad and they all helped my real mum calm me but on the day of Josh's funeral my real mum blamed me for their death and then my big sister took me in and she's been my mum since then really even before the death Jesy was always doing my stuff for me like homework,washing,tidying she has always been a big part of my life because I never knew our dad but the older 3 did he left when Janis got pregnant with me but I met him just before christmas last year and we see each other regularly now he's just had a baby yesterday actually Lilah-jess...but apart from that I go to a drama school and currently practicing for our next musical frozen' I smiled and she just hugged me 'your safe here I won't let them by you' she said and I hugged her back 'I'm okay now though I miss them obviously my brother and Siri I mean but my Ritalin..I take that everyday if I remember and try to keep calm so you don't need to worry' I giggled 'I'm not worrying' she smiled handing me some paper booklet 'this is your script, you need to learn it obviously and you will record your first scenes at around 2pm so go sit somewhere quiet' she said 'aren't you gunna tell me where everything is or what my character is about' I laughed and she went wide eyed 'they didn't email it to you' she asked 'no just Montanas description' I giggled 'right basically my character Maxine had a baby at 13 and her big sister was 19 and had a career out in LA so she took her to America with her because she thought the baby would have a better life out there rather than with a young teenager back in Chester and basically I lost contact with my sister after a year or so into your life and haven't seen you since she took you at just 2 months old so Maxine doesn't know who you are or what you look like really but Montana she knows who max is but not what she looks like or anything all she knows is she lives here in hollyoaks and Max's sister send her back here to meet max and for a better life as my sisters gotten into drugs ect and what Maxine's sister doesn't know is that Montana knows that max isn't actually her auntie and that she's her mum and basically Montana is here to either stir it up or to know if Maxine will accept her but Maxine has no clue who she is at first because obviously she hasn't seen her since she was a little baby' nikki smiled 'got it' I laughed 'but how do my first scenes start off in school if I've just got here' I asked 'no they're your first proper big speaking scenes the first scene you will do is walking into the village and you bump into leela and sienna and ask them about the village and certain people that live there then sienna suggest you stay with her and her dad Patrick until you find who you are looking for as obviously they know who Maxine is and you know sienna she's deluded and then he gets you enrolled then you start school and ruby aka peri will then ask you why your actually here and your big speaking parts start' she smiled and I nodded.
