Jen's POV;

I wake to silence, and in the Lawrence house, that's never a good sign. I open my eyes slowly, one at a time to not raise any attention in case someone is waiting. When I believe it's clear, I jump from bed, and poise myself ready to fight.

Ben comes at me, and yields a bucket. "Oh, dammit. Your awake." He frowns. "You just about wore this bucket of water." He smirks.

"It's just water." I shrug.

"Pool water." He smiles mischievously. "The nasty stuff from last summer."

I smile, he's always been the king of pranks, just like Josh. He's the best at pranks on set, he put a stunt dummy on my toilet in my trailer one time.

"You have an interview in an hour, shower, get dressed, and look presentable for a change Jen." He laughs and walks from the room with his prized bucket.

"Thanks." I reply even though he's gone. I reach for my phone, and dial Josh's number without looking.

"Hello?" He asks in a rough morning voice.

"Did I wake you?" I ask. 

"Yes." He replies bluntly.

"Oh good, did you forget about the interview Joshy?" I ask in a baby voice.

"Shit.." He mutters. "I'll see you there Jen." I can almost see him smiling.

"See yah there Josh." I smile and end the call. I run a hot shower, and step into it's glory. I let the water run down over me as long as I can before I'm late.

I dress in a maroon shirt, and jeans, and hurry to the kitchen. "I'm heading to an interview." I tell my mom who's reading the paper unlike my dad who's looking at something on his phone.

"How long will you be gone?" She asks.

"I don't know, a couple hours. I'm gonna see about going to lunch with Josh and Liam after." I inform her and she smiles.

"That'll be nice. Catch up before you go back to filming."

I nod. "Yeah." I put an apple in my purse, and kiss both their cheeks. "Love you." I say to each of them.

"Love you too. Drive safe!" My father bellows as I leave the house.

I blast my music the entire way there, and see Josh's car is already there. The building is wide and short, the words 'KBB NEWS' sprawled across the front of the building. I leave my purse hidden in the car, but bring my phone and apple.

I see Josh sitting in a chair in front of a mirror, looking down at his phone. Before he can stop me, I rush to him throwing my arms around his shoulders. I plant a big, wet kiss on the side of his face. "Joshy!" I exclaim and he stands to hug me.

"You scared the shit out of me." He admits as we break our hug.

I hear a familiar Aussie accent behind us, and both of us look with growing smiles on our faces. Then we see him. "Liam!" We cry together and take him into a big hug.

He's always been like up father, leaving myself and Josh to be the reckless children we never cease to be. 

"Hiya guys." He chuckles and stumbles back a few steps and leaves a hand on Josh's shoulder.

"Ready for this interview?" I ask taking a bite of my apple.

"Yeah." Josh nods. He reaches for my apple, and takes it from my hand and takes a bite of it himself. "That's a damn good apple." He says.

"Josh, Jen, Liam, we're starting in five if you could take your places please." A women with blonde hair requests.

"Of course." I smile and we head to the three chairs lines up like usual. I sit in the middle, with Josh on my left, and Liam on my right like a normal interview. A young man with thick glasses appears with a smile and a handshake for each of us.

"My name is Mark, hello." He smiles with a firm nod.

He doesn't look like the interviewer, gossiper type. He looks as if he should be part way through law or medical school. With a pretty girl back home, who works a tough job to begin to pay for their future together. But yet he's here, shaking our hands, and preparing questions for our interviews.

"So we'll be going over the filming for you guys' newest movie, and then we'll talk about the romance rumors between Josh and Claudia, and Jen and Nick."

I nod and look to Liam who's frowning. "I don't have a rumor."

"I'll tell everyone your dating Jlo." I whisper loud enough for the rest of us to hear. The four of us erupt in laughter.

"Okay guys, one minute. Get your crazies out now.." He warns.

I shake my head. "I think I'll save that for the interview. How about you Josh?" I ask him.

"Yeah, me too." He smirks.

The countdown begins, and Josh and I make long, awkward eye contact. Maybe it isn't awkward for him, but is sure is for me. I squint to make it a staring game.

I blow into his face, he puts a hand on my leg to stead himself from falling. I get a strange and unusual warmth from his touch.

Finally I win, and turn back to face Mark, I wear a smirk, fully satisfied with my latest victory.

"Hah." I smirk to Josh.

"Sorry about them.." Liam sighs. "They're actual five year olds sometimes ..."

"Who? Us?" I gasp.

"Yeah, you." He laughs.

Josh leans back, props his leg up on his other, and puts an arm behind my back and sighs. "It's fine, it'll make great opening credits." Mark smiles.

"Okay." I laugh.

"So your all in Kentucky, how's that?" He starts his interview.

"Well it's great, Jen and I's family lives here, and Liam just flew in last night." Josh explains.

"Oh, will you be spending the rest of your visit here with one of your co - stars?" He asks Liam.

"Voluntarily spending more time with these two idiots? Hell no!" Liam laughs.

"Oh come on buddy, we aren't that bad, just loud, and ... Spirited." I tease him with a jab in the ribs. 

"I think I'd rather stay at a hotel." He smirks.

"Fine, miss out on the party." I shrug.

"So; where do you all go after the end of this week? Back to LA?" Mark asks us. 

"No, back to Hawaii. Once there we'll continue with filming Catching Fire." Josh informs.

"Are you about halfway through?" He asks.

"Yes, They'll start with the beach scene when we get back." Liam says.

"Kissy-Kissy." I tease Josh.

"Gross, I have to kiss you?" Josh jokes. 

"We kissed in the first one! And already in the second one, and don't act like you don't like it Josh!" I kid.

"What would you rate Jen on kissing?" Mark asks the boys.

"Well Jen, she never ate nice foods before our scenes, she always ate garlicky or onion foods. So I'll give her a three." Liam says.

"That's still good." I note while shrugging.

"Josh?" Mark asks him.

"I mean, yeah, I'd give her a twelve." I smile and lean my head on his shoulder and smile into the camera.

"Ooh, is there a romance?" Mark asks with a raise eyebrow leaning forward on his forearms.

"No no, just friends." I defend quickly.

"Yeah, just friends."

"Well that's a great Segway to into a new topic: romances."

I pull my head back. I wish we didn't have to talk about this all the time. I only accepted his dating proposal because I felt like I had to. Because every other celebrity who's popular had significant other, and I didn't, I thought it would bring more publicity. But all it's brought is stress, and problems.

"So, how are things with Nicholas?" Mark asks me.

I feel bad, talking about this in front of Josh, I don't know why though. "Great, things are just great." I fake a smile.

"That's great! Any new news we can have a first hand glance at?" He asks.

"Nope, nothing new."

"Well that's great, Josh, how are things with you and Claudia?"

"We actually aren't together at the moment."

I look at him in shock. "Josh." I say in a low voice. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because it's not important." He shrugs. 

I sigh and shake my head, if she hurt him I'll kill her.

"So, what can fans expect from the newest movie installment?" Mark asks us.

"Uhm, a lot of Katniss and Peeta trying to figure out their feelings for each other. And of course there's an arena, so that's going to be interesting."

"What's the love triangle like in this movie?"

"Much more complicated since Katniss has begun to think she loves Peeta, but she isn't sure still. And Gale loved her, but they all still aren't sure."

"It sounds like the second movie may be better than the first." Mark inquires. 

"Well we have a new director, and a great second book to work with, so the movie should turn our great. All of scenes so far have." Liam explains.

"Yeah, it'll be all pretty for y'all." I smile, Josh looks at me as if i'm insane. "Sorry, mah southern came out there." I grin with fake bucked teeth.

"Your insane." He grins rubbing my hand. I feel the same tingly feeling from earlier.

"Well guys, I think that's all the time we have for today." Mark says. He looks directly into the camera then back at us. "Thank you Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, and Jennifer Lawrence for joining us today at KBB news."

"Thank you." We all reply lowly in unison.

"Cut!" Someone yells and I slouch into my chair. "That's a wrap!"

"Thank you guys so much, it was an honor to meet each of you." And with the shake of our hands he's gone. 

"Let's go to lunch." I suggest quickly before either of them go to stand. "I'll pay." I add.

"Yeah. Just the one in town?" Liam asks. I nod.

"Yeah, Josh, stay here I wanna talk to you." I request. "We'll meet you there."

"Okay see yah there girls." He grins before stalking off to his car.

Josh and I silently start walking around the darkened halls of the new center. "Why didn't you tell me about Claudia yesterday?"

"You seemed so happy, I didn't want to ruin your mood." He says.

"Your my best friend Josh." I sit down against the wall of the hallway. It's dark, I can barely see his handsome face.

Whoa Jen.

"I know." He starts. "I just don't want to bother you with my issues."

"Your not bothering me Joshy! I promise, I love you remember?" I ask. He looks at me tears welling up in his beautiful brown eyes.

"I love you too."

A pang of something hits me right in the stomach. He holds my hand in his. "Jen I think I really love you." He says unsurely.

"I love you too." I smile.

Then suddenly, his face suddenly comes closer to mine. And his lips are on mine lovingly.
