Disclaimer: I don't own McFly. Hopefully I will though, someday...
I massaged my temple gently and closed my eyes. I mean, geez, how bad headache could one have? Okay, maybe the fact that I hadn't eaten in the past twelve hours or that I had only slept two hours the previous night had something to do with it.
I laid my head back onto the soft cushions and sighed heavily. Just as I was about to get relaxed I heard the familiar shout, that familiar shout that belonged to my lovely, lovely director, Paul.
"Veronica! Get up, we need to finish this scene!" Paul shouted and made violent hand gestures.
That man is really, really strange.
"Yeah, yeah" I mumbled in response, standing up from the couch and suddenly I felt dizzy, like somebody had hit me with a frying pan on the head.
"Veronica, are you coming or do you need someone to drag your ass up here?!" I heard Paul shout again.
Oh, how I love my work. The environment and colleagues are so lovely…
"Yeah!" I forced myself to shout, even though I was almost dying of exhaustion.
I literally dragged myself to where Paul was standing, next to my colleague Jake.
"Veronica, you alright? You look a bit pale" Jake asked, putting his hand on my shoulder and stopping his discussion with Paul.
"Veronica is fine! She's young and healthy as ever!" Paul exclaimed, clapping me hard on my back and let out a laugh.
I rolled my eyes, "I'm fine, Jake"
"You sure? You want to go lie down or something?" Jake asked sweetly and looked directly into my eyes.
I smiled, "Yeah, Jake. I'm fine, I swear"
He looked at me suspiciously "Okay," he sighed "But if you feel sick, just go lie down"
"Yeah, yeah" I laughed "You're too sweet," I said and ruffled his hair before walking up to Paul, ready to do my next scene.

Home sweet home.
There I was; standing in front of my beautiful red wooden door, a smile plastered on my face. It felt so good to be here again. It felt like I hadn't been in my own house in several weeks, because every time I was there, it was only for a couple of minutes.
I opened the door and it made a creak sound, which it always had done, since the day I moved in here. I sighed happily as I felt the familiar scent of my house. Who would've known that my own home could ever make me so happy?
I started to walk around, looking at every single thing carefully and I even noticed there was some stuff that I didn't even remember that I had. I noticed my mood changing too, the stress just floated away and I felt pretty relaxed.
Suddenly my tummy made a loud voice, 'causing me to chuckle when I remembered I still hadn't eaten anything.
I made my way into the kitchen and opened the fridge. I frowned as I realized that I didn't have any food, I mean when would I have had the time to buy that when I'm never home?!
I took my phone out of my pocket and decided to call my best friend. It took her a couple of beeps before she answered.
"Hello my darling, did you quit your job or did Paul have a nervous breakdown?" Jennifer answered.
I chuckled, "We actually have the rest of the day and tomorrow off," I told her matter-of-factly.
"Oh really?" Jennifer asked surprised "You sure you didn't just kill him?"
I laughed, "Well, I was pretty close of doing that actually,"
"So," Jennifer started "Want me to come over?"
"Oh yes please" I smiled "and could you do me a favour?"
I heard Jennifer sigh in the other end "The regular?" she asked.
"Yeah," I nodded my head eagerly.
"Alright, one ham pizza with extra cheese coming up," Jennifer said and it was followed by a loud crash.
"Are you alright?"
Jennifer sighed again "Yeah, James is just messing around"
"Oi! I'm not messing around!" I heard James shout, and I laughed loudly.
"Well, okay I need to check on James, so that he won't break anything!" Jennifer laughed "But I'll see you in a bit"
I giggled "Yeah, see ya" I said and hung-up the phone. Oh, how much I had missed my life.

"Oh God, you have no idea how much I love you," I mumbled as I ate my pizza. Food is probably the best thing in the whole world!
"I know, I'm quite lovely," Jennifer said sarcastically "When was the last time you had food?" she frowned.
"Um- yesterday" I said as I swallowed the food and then taking a sip of water.
"Oh God, maybe I should have a little talk with Paul," Jennifer shook her head.
"Yeah, I've tried and it doesn't help" I said "But he would totally be afraid of you," I laughed.
"Well, it is moi we're talking about," Jennifer grinned.
I let out a laugh. Jennifer has never been good at French, she was even so bad that we bullied her quite a lot about it.
"Please don't speak French" I said, raising my brows.
"Oui, oui, oui!" Jennifer exclaimed with a grin.
I laughed even harder, "I can't believe you passed three courses with those skills!"
Jennifer shrugged "Well, what can I say, maybe Mr. Brooks thought I was irresistible" she said with a lazy smile and I rolled my eyes in response.
"So, how many scenes have you filmed?" Jennifer asked, changing the subject. I actually didn't feel like talking about work, but Jennifer was not so often around so I always had to fill her in.
I sighed, "The first scene"
"The first scene? In two weeks, what?" Jennifer's eyes widened "What do you get out of it?" she asked "Besides a lot of money..."
"It's my job. I mean sure we have hard days-"I was cut short by Jennifer snorting, but I chose to ignore it "But I love it" I finished "And besides on Tuesday I get to work with four hot musicians" I winked.
"What? Who?!" Jennifer exclaimed, suddenly getting really interested at what I do.
I shrugged, "I can't remember their names" I said "Let's see from here," I said, taking the script in my hands. I started searching through the script and I was surprised to notice some new stuff in there too...maybe I should really start to read my script before we start the actual filming...
"Well?" Jennifer asked impatiently.
"Um- the band is called McFly..." I read "You heard of them?" I asked Jennifer who was already running upstairs.
"No, but that's why we have Google!" she shouted from upstairs. Oh, Jennifer Google's like everything...well, maybe it's a good thing, and maybe she actually has learned something about stuff too, because Lord knows she didn't learn anything at school.
I laughed out loud and got up from the chair, before making my way upstairs to my room.
"Veronica, come here! These guys are hot!" Jennifer shouted from my room.
I took the last step and walked down the hall, before entering my bedroom
"Well, show them" I said and walked to the desk and leaned over Jennifer to get a peek at the picture and before I knew it my jaw dropped open...
"Wow," I mumbled.
"I know," Jennifer said.
Our faces were almost smashed up against the screen because of how close we were. I wiped some drool of off my chin, "I can' believe I get to work with these guys,"
"I hate you so much right now," Jennifer mumbled and we both continued to look at the screen. I swear, if a terrorist would have attacked now, we would be totally lost in our own worlds and wouldn't notice anything.

I took a sip of my coffee as I walked up the stairs to my next set. I was relaxed and I was finally ready to do my job without a headache. I had all this new inspiration, and I had a feeling the day was about to go really well...and I would meet the band...YAY!
Veronica, we're all professionals here, not some teens, be good.
I smiled to myself. Some self motivation is always good!
"Are you cold Veronica?" Paul asked me, looking at me up and down.
"No, why?" I asked confused, putting my Starbucks coffee onto the table.
Paul looked at me up and down once again, "because you're wearing a hoodie and a scarf?" he said "and are those Ugg boots?" he asked, raising his brows.
I shrugged, "I get cold easy," I replied, taking the mug with hit coffee in my hands again, before taking a sip "So, do we have the band here?" I asked with an innocent smile.
Paul looked at me suspiciously, "Veronica Griffin, you're not up to anything stupid are you?"
I gasped, "Me? Never!"
Paul shook his head "Don't even think about it"
"What?! Can't a girl have a little eye candy?" I asked innocently "Besides I've been forced to look at you for the past couple of weeks" I muttered under my breath and walked past Paul, up to Jake.
"Hey, Veronica" Jake smiled "You ready to work?"
"Yeah, I feel better now" I smiled and turned around as I heard the door opening.
There they were. Amazing. Brilliant. Hot. Sexy...oh God I'm choking on my coffee! I coughed quietly and a smile formed onto my face.
"Oh that's the band" I heard Jake from beside me.
"Mm," I mumbled, not paying that much attention to him because THEY were getting all of my attention...Veronica, you are a teen...get a grip!
I turned around to face Jake again, "Have you heard any of their songs?" I asked casually.
Jake shook his head, "Nope, but Paul literally worship the ground they walk on, he thinks they're 'epic' "Jake said, doing the quotes and rolling his eyes.
I chuckled, "Epic?!" I laughed "Paul has learned a new word!"
"Yeah," Jake said "Did you know he carries a pocket dictionary with him?" he asked with a smile.
"No, he really has one?!" I exclaimed "I thought that was just some rumour..." Wow. Now I know why everybody thinks he really is weird.
"Veronica, Jake!" Paul suddenly shouted. I sometimes hear his shout in my dreams I tell you.
Jake and I turned around and Paul motioned us to come over. We started to make put way over to him...and the band.
Veronica, just be cool. You're the actress in this movie, not A teenie...oh God, they look even hotter in person...I hope I don't drool all over them.
"Veronica, Jake, this is the band" Paul introduced us "Meet; Harry, Tom, Danny and Dougie," Paul said and I shook their hands and as good I am, I managed to spill my coffee on the last ones shoes.
"Oh God, I'm so sorry," I exclaimed and quickly grabbed napkins from the table, before bending down and wiping his shoes. Can you believe that? I am an actor in this film and still somehow I come across as the cleaning lady.
Dougie bended down and took the napkin from my hand, "it's okay, they were old anyway" he shrugged and gave me a soft smile and I couldn't help but smile back and blush...okay, that proves it, I am a teenie.
"You sure, I can buy you new ones,"
Dougie chuckled, "I'll be fine," he said and stood up, grabbing my hand as well and pulling me up with him. Jake, Paul and the rest of the band just stood there quietly, trying to hold their laughter probably...
"Wow, I make a good first impression," I laughed and soon they joined me. Oh thank God, that broke the ice.
"It's a good thing you made the first embarrassing move, otherwise Doug would just have done it, " Danny said with a thick accent.
"Thanks Danny," Dougie replied with a smile.
It was going to be fun working with these guys.
