I own absolutely nothing! Except my original characters, and my thoughts of course. I'm not trying to break the rules.

P.S. sorry if this chapters a little dull, It's kind of a filler and I was trying to update quickly. thanks for the reviews!


There was another night with Munro, and since he was going to be my "semi permanent" roommate we discussed on our way to work what we were going to do. "So are you gonna be bringing things with you later?" he laughed. "Well I would like to you know" "you can, I just wanted to know". We continued to talk about the new "living" situation and we discussed the James thing, which he didn't like very much. "I think he likes you" that caught me off guard "who? James?" he nodded, "Yeah, he wants to rent an apartment with you, Do you honestly think that people will let two 18 year olds rent an apartment?" That made me think about that, "I don't know, probably not. Listen, were not even sure if we can afford it or do it." With that we arrived at the set.

We decided to keep the fact that we spent two nights together a secret, if anyone asked we decided to tell anyone that asked about us arriving together, that he decided to pick me up so I wouldn't have to drive. We got to set and were greeted by Aislinn, Jordan and Sam. "Hey guys" we both smiled and waved, I went over to talk and Munro had to go get ready for a scene. "Hey Kerri, he picked you up?" I nodded, "Yup". They brought up how my birthday was tomorrow, and if I was excited. I was but it was going to be weird for the first time being away from my family. We continued our small talk until Aislinn and I got pulled to get ready for our scene.

We got our make up done and we were talking about our weekends. She spent it with her family and a few friends, and then she asked me about mine. I know I'm not supposed to tell her of my new sleeping/living arrangements but I can tell her the rest, right? "Well, don't tell anyone, but me and Munro hung out on Saturday, we went to the aquarium. It was a lot of fun and then sunday I went to the mall with James" She just looked at me, "you hung out with both of them this weekend?" I nodded, "Well remember how I told you about Cara?" "yeah" "Well, she went back to New York, so I was lonely and what else was I going to do?" she laughed, "Kerri what are we going to do with you?" I laughed. "I honestly don't know". We went to our scene. The one thing I liked about acting was the fact that you can be a character and let everything that's going on in your life behind.

Action! I was at my locker grabbing my books before class. "Eli and Adam told me about you talking to Fitz" I looked at Clare kind of annoyed, "I figured". "Listen Cali, he might have changed. He wasn't terrible when I went with him to the dance when the whole, situation happened. However he was a jerk to Adam and Eli and Fitz had some on going feud, that hopefully is over" I understood what she was saying, however I was debating on telling her I was planning on meeting him anyway. "I understand, but people can change, and I didn't know him during that time. I think I'm going to give him a chance, everyone deserves second chances right?" she looked at me, debating on what to say. "I agree with the second chances thing, but sometimes it depends. Listen I'll support whatever decision you choose, however try to stay out of Eli's view if your with him" "Of course, he invited me to The Dot after school, so if you could try to keep the boys away from there that would be good" "I definitely think I can do that" CUT

I have to admit, I liked where my character was going, however I'm not so sure how I feel about having my "interest" be James. I feel like lines get blurred eventually, if I haven't blurred them already. My next scene was with James, it was "The Dot scene". It went fine, Fitz explained to Cali what happened and how he has changed and realized he shouldn't be so mean. He also admitted to her that he liked her because even though she knew of his past, that didn't stop her from talking to him. She was worried that someone would see, but hanging out with him, she knew he was a different guy than he used to be. She liked him. I loved Cali as a character.

I was done for the day, so I just figured that I would hang around the set. I also had to wait for Munro to finish to go back to the hotel. I was checking my facebook when James came in to talk to me. "Hey Kerri" "Hey". He was acting a little weird, "I feel really bad about this, but I don't know if renting an apartment would be the best idea" After I heard him say this I almost felt relieved. "Listen, it's fine. It was a good thought but I'm starting to like the Hotel and were kinda young still" he laughed, "yeah". We didn't talk, we just kinda stood there. "Well, it was a nice idea though" I smiled at him, "It was, and maybe down the road we could, but not just yet". "Your really smart, I'm glad were friends" I laughed a little, "Me too". I was so relieved with that last comment. He's glad were friends, so maybe there really isn't anything going on here, at least not yet. Munro came in to find me, the day was over. He walked in and saw just James and I. He made a face at me and I gave him a look, the kinda of look that says, clam down, I'll talk to you later, be nice. "Hey Kerri, to go?" "yeah, let me get my stuff". I grabbed my stuff and hugged James goodbye. I said goodbye to everyone else that was there and we left.

"Why were you alone with James?" I sighed. "I know this whole paranoia, protectiveness is new, however you can breathe now" he looked at me confused. "James came and found me to tell me that renting an apartment wasn't a good idea, and he's glad were friends" I emphasised the friends part to make him feel better. "he said that?" I stared at him "Yes, he did. So can you relax now? were not living together, so our arrangement can stay the way it is", He didn't say anything. We hit a red light and he looked at me and grabbed my hand, "I'm glad". I smiled at him, "I'm glad too". We headed back to the hotel, and all I wanted to do was change into some comfy sweats and sleep. I started to feel a little iffy, I told Munro and he told me to go take a nap. "I have to head out for a little bit anyway, so go take a nap" I nodded. "Ok, here take the key". If I was asleep when he got back I was not going to wake up to let him in. I jumped into the big comfy bed and he headed out.

I have no idea how long I was asleep for, but I woke up to the smell of broccoli cheddar soup. I loved broccoli cheddar soup and was wondering why it smelt like that in the apartment. I looked at the clock and it was 6:15. I slept for about 2 1/2, 3 hours. I got out of my room and was greeted by Munro. "hey sleepy head" I smiled, "Hey". "how you feeling?" I smiled, "a little bit better, I think I just needed some sleep" He just smiled at me, "I'm glad you're feeling better, I brought home some soup" I looked over at the table and it was set up for two people with Panera Cheddar Broccoli soup, it was my favorite. I went over and hugged him. He looked surprised but hugged me back, "What was that for?" "You bought me my favorite soup from my favorite place" He chuckled, "If bringing you home soup got you to hug me, what would a big fancy dinner get me" he winked at me. I playfully hit him and rolled my eyes.

We sat down and ate dinner. I looked at him, "When are you brining your things over?", "I already did" I was confused, "you did?" he nodded. "You were out cold, I put my stuff in the empty drawers while you were sleeping. I hope you don't mind" "that's fine, wait you saw me sleeping?" I'm not cute when I sleep, I mean some girls are, however me on the other hand looks like a mess and my hair often tends to go all over the place. I guess he saw the worried look on my face or the tone because he started to laugh at me. "yeah, remember I've seen you sleep before?" I'm not completely used to someone seeing me sleep, "Sometimes I forget". We finished our dinner and I cleaned up the dishes and everything while Munro decided to take a shower. After I finished cleaning I got a phone call.

"Hello" "Hey Ker, it's Cara". I was surprised to hear from her so soon.

"Hey, how is everything going back home?"

"Uhm, that's why I called" I started to get a little worried. "What's up?"

"Well, I might not be coming back now. I hope you can forgive me and find someone to keep you company" I was crushed at hearing those words, she continued "I know you're probably really upset right now, but I just found out. Things are getting crazy here for my family and I know tomorrows your birthday, so I'd rather break the news to you now ya know?"

I wasn't sure how to react, "I understand, thanks for telling me now. I hope everythings ok"

"I think everything will be eventually, but how are things going making friends?" I laughed,

"yeah, actually I have a temporary roommate" I heard her breathe on the other end "No way, who?"

"Munro" "Oh my god, Kerri that is crazy" I laughed at her,

"I know but no one in the cast knows. I've made friends though and I'm slowly getting used to things here"

"Well I'm glad, I have to go but I'll talk to you soon!, and Happy almost Birthday"

"thanks hunn, I'll talk to you soon"

With that I hung up the phone. All the emotions hit me at once. I was nervous, happy, excited and scared. My friend was pretty much sure she wasn't coming back. Now what do I do? I'm glad at least I have Munro here but still. As I started to freak out, Munro came out of the bathroom. "Hey, I heard your phone. Is everything ok?" I couldn't answer, I guess my face must've had some sort of sad, worried expression because he came running over to me. "Are you ok? you look like you just saw a ghost" I nodded, finally being able to talk, "I'm ok, it was Cara. She's probably not coming back" He sighed, I guess knowing it wasn't anything to terrible. "I'm sorry about that, but hey, you still have me" he said and gave me a hug. I loved him hugs, even though he wasn't a bug guy, his hugs were still amazing. He was like a giant teddy bear. I loved that. "thanks"

I was exhausted and it was only 9. I decided to go to bed early. "Hey, I'm gonna go to bed, I'm exhausted" he nodded "you should, tomorrows going to be a big day for you" I smiled at him, "yeah, I guess so, night" "night". I went into bed and got all comfy wrapping all the blankets around me, he could deal with the lack of blankets later. I must've fallen asleep because I woke up to Munro hopping on the bed. "sorry did I wake you?" I laughed, "just a little", "Well good because it's 12 and it's officially your birthday, So happy birthday!" I smiled, a sleepy, half awake smile, "thank you, now go to sleep" he smiled at me, "I would however the birthday girl left me no blankets" I reached my arms out here, "Your going to be my blanket?" I nodded, "birthday girl was to cuddle". "your half awake and adorable, so fine" I smiled, I rolled over and put my head on his shoulder nad his arms wrapped around me. "are you ok?" I didn't want him to be uncomfortable, he tightened his arms around me "I'm comfy, are you?" I nodded.

I was half awake for all of this. Although I vaguely remember falling asleep to him singing happy birthday to me in a whisper. So far, this was the best birthday and it was only 12. I loved having a friend, or whatever you wanna call what we are. With that I also knew that the rest of this day was going to be weird, but I was looking foward to the rest of my 18th birthday.
