Los Angeles, CA

ROB's POV

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!"

I groaned, rolling over to face my human alarm clock who was currently bouncing up and down in my t-shirt and her underpants on the hotel bed. "What is it, Chan?" I murmured, squinting into the sunlight coming in from the bay window.

She plopped down on the bed, sitting Indian-style facing me. She cleared her throat before reading something off her Blackberry. "Honest portrait of a relationship – Hollywood Reporter."

I sat up to listen more closely.

She scrolled down on her phone and then continued. "Because Pattinson and Wood bring amazing intensity and emotional honesty to their roles, the experience of connecting these two souls becomes truly moving – The New York Times.

"Wow," I mumbled, taken aback. I knew the film was good, really good, but I wasn't expecting such praise from the critics.

"It gets better!" she cheered giddily. "Ready for this?"

I nodded, pushing my fingers through my hair.

"2014 Golden Globe Nominations," she glanced over at me and we shared an excited smile. "Best Motion Picture, Drama: High Noon, Let's Do It Again, Nobody But You And Me, Somewhere I'll Find You, The Easiest Way; Best Actor, Drama: Colin Firth, James Franco, Johnny Depp, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Pattinson; Best Actress, Drama: Amy Adams, Anne Hathaway, Chandler Wood, Nicole Kidman, Sandra Bullock ; Director: Christopher Stevens, Danny Boyle, Darren Aronofsky, Sam Mendes, Tom Hopper."

Once she finished speaking, I fell back onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling, trying to comprehend just what this meant. Chandler collapsed down next to me. We were speechless.

All of my energy was focused on that film and I couldn't be prouder. Lying here with her right then was the happiest I had been in two years. All the built up stress and strain that came with filming such an intense movie had finally diminished. Even though it changed my life forever, it was worth it.

New York City, New York

ADIN's POV

"Tonight on E! News," spoke the well-known voice of host Giuliana Rancic. "We have the complete list of 2014 Golden Globe nominations and the inside scoop from the stars of Nobody But You And Me. Stay tuned."

It was normal for me to have this butterfly feeling in my stomach whenever someone mentioned him. I used to think that it would go away after time passed, but I realized that it probably never would.

"Michael Yo is live in the newsroom with Chandler Wood and Robert Pattinson, the stars of the upcoming film Nobody But You And Me. Take it away, Michael!" Catt Sadler announced.

"First of all, congratulations on the four Golden Globe nods! Best Motion Picture, Drama; Best Actor, Drama; Best Actress, Drama; and Christopher Stevens for Director. How does it feel?" Michael asked them.

Rob smiled bashfully, "It feels incredible, obviously. Without the 8 years of director Christopher Stevens' unwavering vision and commitment none of this would have been possible. I'm very grateful and thrilled to be in company of so many of my colleagues," he nudged Chandler, signaling it was her turn to talk before he rattled on for too long.

"It's such an exciting moment for our film, especially when you consider what a terrific year it was for movies. I'm so proud of the film and to be honored for it is icing on the cake," Chandler beamed.

"So tell us a little about the film," Michael transitioned. "Chandler, you signed on for the project in 2007, followed by Rob in 2009?"

"Yes," Rob acknowledged. "Chris wrote 67 drafts for the film, but when we started production at the beginning of 2012 he told us to just jump in and surprise him," he laughed.

"He was nervous it would be flat so we didn't always stick to the script. The lines between the film and reality were very blurred," Chandler added and my heart sunk.

"Was that easy for you to do?" Michael asked.

"Well, Chris knew that in order for us to realistically portray our characters, we would have to live together as husband and wife," Chandler explained.

"He literally drove us up to the house and it was completely empty and he told us to make it a home. We made memories. We went grocery shopping, took out the trash, had birthday parties and made home videos," Rob chimed in. "We did the Jane Fonda work out tapes."

I laughed to the point of tears. He was still the self-deprecating, goofball that I once loved, that I still do love.

"Nobody But You And Me is coming to theaters this Friday. Catt, back to you in the studio," Michael concluded the Q&A session.

I was proud of him. If anyone deserved this success it was him. He worked harder than anyone I knew, especially for this movie. But it was that movie that changed my life forever.
