— "Well that was handled beautifully!" jd confirmed and rudy let out a long and steady sigh.

"what the hell just happened?" was all i could manage to get out. i just watched the weirdest thing play out in front of me. rudy would never try to be rude, he was clearly flirting but charlie ju-what the? jd interrupted my thoughts.

"rudy's got the hots for drew's sister, that's what happened!" jd snickered mid sentence and the only thing i could think about is both the starkey kids are about to kill rudy.

drew is the most overprotective, but laid back brother I have ever met. he told his parents he would protect her, and i don't think rudy flirting with her falls into the drews okay with it collum. although they are closer than anyone on the set, i don't know how charlie hadn't met him yet.

"wha-i-m-what the shit was i doing?" he started pacing back and forth in the trailer. my thoughts were being interrupted so fast i was overwhelmed. i looked at my watch and chase and madelyn were filming right now, so charlie may have gone to drew. or austin.

she left in such a hurry she forgot her kombucha, she's coming back for it, trust me.

"looks like rudy smalls isn't as smooth as he looks!" i joked to lighten up the mood and rudy gave me a sudden glare. "oh nice one bailey," jd offered a fist bump and i accepted it, while laughing.

"hey, rudy, deep breaths or something i don't know just calm down? she'll come back okay! and you can apologize to her!" he stopped and looked at me with a sympathetic look covering his face. "okay. okay, okay, okay, i'll just apologize. good idea maddie, i'll just apologize!" he started assuring himself but the pacing continued.

rudys pacing was interrupted by another person entering my trailer. usually they come in here to sleep or read over the script but, this. this never happens.

the person entering my trailer was charlie, and the room went silent. me and jd both looked at rudy, impatiently waiting for him to apologize. "hey ch-" she put her finger up and went straight for her kombucha. "pankow, shut it." she sat down next to me and, chugged her kombucha. literally, chugged it.

"so, are you guys going out tonight too?" she asked and we all nodded. "lovely." sarcasm immediately filled the room followed by an awkward silence.

charlie is one of the most self sufficient girls i have ever met. she doesn't like help, she thinks she doesn't need it, which is why i back off. i want to her to feel comfortable around me. she's not a charity case and i don't ever want to treat her like one.

someone needed to fill the silence, so i try to search for ideas. before anything even remotely popped into my head, jd speaks up, "why don't we just play truth. truth or dare, without the dare!"

rudy looks at jd with a confused face, "isn't that the scene chase and mads are filming right now?" charlie scoffs and i checked the itinerary to see not only what they were filming, but when we start filming to get out of this mess.

"yep," i assured and jd shrugged. "what? it's a good concept!" a defensive jd gets shut down by charlie's sass, who was still clearly upset. "it sounds like a concept i would've made when i was in 2nd grade to figure out why drew took my barbies?"

"hey, do not disrespect the amazing ideas of chase stokes!" true.

it was chases idea for sarah and john b to play truth in this episode. he thought it would be cute, and emotional.

"no, i am not playing this." rudy put his foot down and then the room became unbelievably silent again.

i grabbed her hand and squeezed it. "yea im not playing that either," she pops off. "ditto." I put my hand up and jd glares at us.

all of a sudden he holds his fist up at rudy, "wanna go?" rudys face brightens up and he replys, "hell. yes." the heated rock, pickle, tomato game had started. it's the rudy version of rock, paper scissors. trust me i'm just as confused as you are.

"shit!" jd let out. rudy hit him as he was rock and jd was pickle. (it's your index finger and your middle finger put together cause according to rudy that's what a pickle slice is.)

charlie leaned her head on my shoulder and sighed. "i'm sorry for being rude," she whispered and i could almost feel the tears about to come out of her eyes. "no, no, it's okay. it's not your fault," she shakes her head and wiped her eyes the way she does when she's trying to not cry.

"hey, drew's not filming right now, why don't you go to his trailer! he has to in about 30 minuets with us, but the boys are obviously fine now," i laughed while pointing at them and charlie scoffed.

"what else would that asshole do other than makeup his own version of rock, paper, scissors," she grabbed her phone and stood up. "have fun charlie!" jd said and she just faintly smiled at him.

she looked back at me and mouthed thank you and waved. rudy tried but she ignored it. and with that she left the trailer.

as soon as the door shut rudy looked over at me with a sorrow filled face and mouthed sorry.

i leaned back and let out a heavy sigh. this is about to be the most interesting set i've ever been on.
