EIGHTEEN — ( BOYS FALLING AT YOUR FEET ! )

SYDNEY WAS STANDING WITH DREW IN BETWEEN FILMING WHILE THEY WERE BOTH WATCHING MADLEYN AND CHASE TOGETHER. It was unspoken knowledge between the cast that they all suspected a little more than friendship between the two but neither of them were going to be admitting it any time soon, they knew that. The two were clearly flirting with each other, Sydney and Drew could both see that as they continued to watch the two.

"I hope they wait till we finish filming to start dating. I don't need any more reminders that I'm single." Sydney said, leaning against the building they were standing in front of.

Drew let out a laugh. "You can say that again." He said, nodding. He then paused for a moment before speaking again. "How long have you been single for?" He was just curious and seen as Sydney brought it up, he thought why not ask.

"Just over a year." Sydney told him, her eyes still focused on her friends flirting.

"A year?" Drew was shocked and Sydney could tell by the tone of his voice so she turned her head to look at him.

"Yeah." She laughed at his shocked expression. "Why is that surprising?" She asked furrowing her eyebrows.

Drew let out a laugh himself from disbelief. "I don't know. Just assumed you had boys falling at your feet." He told her, and it was true. Sydney was a catch, everyone could see that, so the fact she'd not dated anyone in over a year was more than shocking. It was even more of a shock to Drew.

"Absolutely not." Sydney said, laughing at his comment before turning her head back to her friends.

They were silent for a moment. "So why'd you two break up? Was he an asshole or something?" Drew asked, being curious about Sydney's previous relationship. Not for any reason, he just liked asking people questions about their lives, especially Sydney because of how much he enjoyed talking to her. Despite the two not having many scenes together, they'd hung out quite a lot together.

"No, he wasn't. The exact opposite actually." Sydney said as she twisted her body around. If she was going to have a proper conversation with Drew then she was going to at least face him. Her shoulder was now resting against the building instead. "We just grew apart, I guess. We had an argument and it just ended." She told him, being careful about what she said. If Drew ever found out who her ex was then he'd definitely remember what she was saying in that moment. Sydney had to be careful not to say anything bad about him.

"Damn. That sucks when that happens." Drew said.

"Happened to you before?" Sydney asked, tilting her head to the side.

Drew nodded. "Yeah. It's not fun. It's a different kind of heartbreak." He said, which Sydney agreed with.

"It is. I think I would've rather them just break up with me. Or anything else. I hated sitting there and wondering if they were ever going to come back and I was way too scared to pick up the phone." She explained, giving a little more on how they broke up. "But he was a good guy, a really good guy." She added, wanting to make it clear that they didn't do anything wrong, not really. "What about you?"

"6 months. She was a good one too. We just grew apart too, I guess." Drew shrugged as he smiled. It happened to everyone.

"It all happens for a reason." Sydney told him, believing that it really did all happen for a reason.

Drew was about to add to what Sydney had said, she could see that, but he stopped himself and his eyes focused on something behind Sydney. "Hey man." Drew said and Sydney immediately turned around to see who it was. Her eyes widened and she prayed they hadn't been listening in on her and Drew's conversation.
