Tom woke up from his nap to the sound of knocking on his trailer door. Groggily he got off his couch and walked over to the door. Standing right behind it was none other than Rosé who had a coffee in one hand and a croissant in the other. She jokingly wiggled the cup and pastry bag in her hands to emphasize her gifts. "I know you don't like catering's coffee, so I bought one at a nearby diner and picked up a few pastries," she informed as she let herself in.

"You're the best," Tom mumbled under his breath as he picked up the coffee cup that she placed on the counter. She watched him with wary eyes as he sipped the hot beverage, knowing that if he burned his tongue and complained she'd scold him for drinking so fast. Hesitantly the actor placed the cup back down, "Okay am I in trouble or something? Or did I forget a special day because you're usually not this nice and this is terrifying me."

"What's going on with you and Camille," Rosé blurted out. She wanted to bite her tongue for being so nosy and to always say what's on her mind. She couldn't help it, she was a nosy bitch and she knew it. But Rosé knew that the timing was right and if Tom wanted her to know what was going on with his relationship he would've told her already. "I mean, she's back in Germany and you said right after Greece she was supposed to be heading to Hawaii for another shoot."

Tom shook his head and sighed as he walked over to her. He groaned as he placed his forehead on her shoulder and waited for her to comb his hair with her fingers. In a way a lot of things Rosé did was very motherly and he was beyond grateful for that. Sure Harrison is a great best friend, but having Rosé by his side is different. He's pretty sure Harrison would just give him a pat on the shoulder instead of running his fingers through his hair.

"Relationship problems?" Rosé asked softly as one of her hands ran through his curly hair, the other on his back rubbing small circles. She hummed and began twirling the curls around her fingers. "I've been there before. How many times have I called to complain to you about Austin?"

He snorted as he stood back up. He placed his hand on top of her head and ruined her hair with a simple ruffle. "Too many times," he informed with a small chuckle following afterwards. "I swear at least once a week you'd call me complaining about some shit he's done or whatever it is. Still don't understand why you dated that daft fucker."

Rosé began to immediately scold him on his bad language and this is coming from the same girl who once called him a cunt because he accidentally drank her soda instead of his own. "Because he was a handsome lad who knew how to play the guitar and serenaded me with old Jonas Brothers songs," she defended herself as she began opening the pastry bag. She ripped half of the croissant and gave him one end whilst she took the other. "How many guys do you know know how to play Lovebug on the guitar? Didn't think so."

"I never liked him anyways," Tom lied as he began chewing on his half of the croissant. When Rosé gave him a pointed look he defended himself with a shrug and a half assed smile, "It's true. I knew there was sneaky about him."

"Tom you practically wanted to steal my boyfriend the minute you discovered that his family owns a dog shelter."

"Still thought something was wrong."

"Oh please you begged me to have a Skype call with him so you could meet him and ask him what was the best dog food for Tessa."

"I'm a man who loves his girl, is that so wrong?"

"Yes, because how many times did you forget that I was allergic to mangoes?"

"Like one time!"

"More like three! You fed me mango ice cream at Harry's birthday party when we were seven, you gave me dried mangoes as a snack when we were studying at your place when we were eight, and you got me a mango smoothie instead of pineapple when we were ten!"

"You're still holding that against me?"

"Are you kidding me? When I ate that the skin around my mouth was bright red, people asked me if I was wearing my mum's lipstick again!"

"Eh, red was never your color in the first place."

They both found themselves laughing until their stomachs ached. This was what made their friendship so perfect, their ability to forget their professionalism and go back to the times of their childish antics. It was as if they were able to forget that they were no longer two kids playing pretend or practicing Tom's theater works in his backyard. But now things have changed with Rosé an intern and Tom a professional actor.

It's funny where the future takes them.

"Rosie," She looked up and met his eyes with a worried glint in her dark brown eyes. Tom shook his head and laughed to himself, "I'm . . . I'm really glad you're here with me."

The Korean girl could only cock her head to the side as she stared at him curiously. "What brought this on? You're usually never this sappy until after six, and it's only two right now. Something's wrong. What have you done with my best friend?"

"Your best friend realized how mad he would've gotten if he had to suffer through this first role without his amazing best friend by his side," Tom stated with a small smile. He held his fist out for her, "You're the best, Rosie Girl."

"I know - "

"Sorry, am I interrupting something here?" Camille.

A/N;

I'm such a fake, I swear to God. I said I'd give y'all drama but instead I gave you guys a hot picture of Clarissa, embarrassed Haz, and a shit ton of cute ass Tosé. Y'all don't deserve this, you deserve a steaming pile of angst.

But whatever.

I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED THE BOOK YET BUT I FINISHED CHAPTER SIXTY AND I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. IT'S SHORT BUT ANGST AND UGH 10/10 IN MY OPINION.

Dedicated to gaietygray! Thank you for the support love!

Much Love Guys.
