"You ready kid?" Uncle Alex spoke behind me as I sat in my chair alone in the room. My leg bouncing up and down, the light from the vanity reflecting heat onto my face.

I snapped my head up to meet his gaze through the mirror, he gave me a weak smile and I nodded my head. "We're ready for you miss." A lady in a headset along with a clipboard in her hand spoke.

I got up from my check after rechecking myself for the 100th time. "Don't over stress the answers Ami, we already went through most of them. Louis and Will are by your side, they can answer the questions too, you don't have to answer every single one." He whispered to me as we walked down a hallway into a room, with 4 chairs.

My nerves shot up as I saw assistants attending to Willie and Lou in their seats, the one between them empty for me. A man who looked to be in his mid twenty's sitting in a chair across from them gulping down some water as their eyes overlooked the notepad in their lap, spotlights bright and burning into the room.

Turning to face Uncle Alex behind me whose eyes were studying me, I whispered, "I'm good." Shrugging my shoulders and taking deep breaths. I felt like I was trying to convince myself I was, but I was so nervous.

What if I say the wrong thing? What if I accidentally spoil the movie? What if my answer won't make sense? What if I throw up?

"You're good." Alex repeated back to me. Pulling me into a comforting hug that helped calm my nerves down for the seconds. "You got this kid." And then I was pushed in front of the man who looked up at me, a sincere smile in front of me.

"Hello I'm Azami Navarro. Nice to meet you." I croaked out, forcing my hand in front of him.

* I'm horrible at names so I'm using the guy who interviewed Timmy in his The King Interview. The one where he's like "let me get this right your 23?" and timmy so ever hotly says "yes sir." UGH-*

"Well hello Azami, I'm Ali Plumb, grateful for you three to be here today." He shook my hand and nodded at the three of us as I joined Willie and Louis in their seats.

"We'll start in two minutes. Two minutes everyone." A man called out from the camera as an assistant started to touch up my makeup and fix my shirt.

I turned to Willie who was grinning at me, "I'm so excited." I nodded my head at my best friend, his happiness rubbing off on me.

Then I felt a hand rest on top of mine and I turned to see Louis, he was smiling at me, but I could tell he was nervous. "We got this darling."

"20 seconds!" Everyone started to scramble on and off camera. I adjusted in my seat, positioning myself to be casual and not uptight, clearing my throat so it won't be raspy.

"5...4...3...2...1! And we're rolling!"

*This will be in an interview format just because it'll make more sense to me, hope y'all don't mind :)*

interviewer : hello, were here joined today with William Franklyn Miller, Azami Navarro, and Louis Partridge

*the three smile or nod at the camera then facing back to Ali*

interviewer : well guys hello, so glad for you three to be here today. This is your first ever film along with interview, how was the process?

*Ami looked between the two before Willie cleared his throat and spoke up*

Willie : Oh well it was definitely an amazing experience especially being able to do it with kids my age who turn out to be my best friends.

*Ami and Louis nodded their heads in agreement before Louis decided to talk*

Louis : Yeah it was definitely an amazing experience just like Will said. I mean I live with these guys, so we've gotten a lot closer in the months that we've been filming and doing all the after stuff and I honestly wouldn't want two other people beside me side other than them. They're my people.

*Ami pretended to wipe her nose to cover up her sparkling eyes that were tearing up. Louis's little speech made her heart ache also the fact the pain going on in her stomach as thighs as she just started her period that morning*

Interviewer : That's amazing, that you built such a bond with these people, I bet it made the experience a lot more easier and such. So I had just watch the movie last nigh, first off, amazing film. It was so beautifully shot and just the subjects that the movie talks about- so powerful. I think it was especially great that we got it from your point of view, like the teenagers instead of the parents you know. So for those who haven't seen it or maybe curious on what its about, what can you say?

*The here looked at each other awkwardly until they nodded for Ami to speak for this question*

Ami : Oh well you know it's about this girl named Lily, who I play, is in her junior of high school and she feels like she's in this endless loop you know. She does everything the same each day...uh like a routine some would say. And she's tired of it, she wants to experience true high school like they would show in cliche movies and such. And then Louis's character comes in and opens that door for her and Willie's character who is her life long best friend thinks she's going off the tracks and ruining her future. So it's all this drama and mess and it's just...yeah.

*Willie rubbed Ami's back comfortably as she finished bringing a sense of comfort to her body. While Louis messes with his matching bracelet hanging around his wrist which the interview eyes along with the one on Ami's wrist. the interviewer glances down at his notecards before speaking again.*

Interviewer : That was a wonderful description. One thing my wife and I noticed and enjoyed throughout the film was the little easer eggs you guys had.

*The three looked at each other confused*

Interviewer : Like I love how Louis and Azami still wear their bracelets off set. My wife and I thought that part of the movie was adorable.

*The three awkwardly laughed at his response, totally forgetting the fact that the bracelets make a cameo in the film.*

Interviewer : So what's the story about that?

Willie : Ah well, Louis here can tell you, can't you Louis?

*Willie reached over to Louis behind Ami's back to tag Louis on the shoulder, putting him on the spot.*

Louis : *clears his throat* Well actually, it was all because of Ami really.

*The interviewer perks up at Louis's response*

Interviewer : Oh really? How so?

*Louis looks at Ami before speaking*

Louis : Well Ami here always wore her bracelets. Literally all the time. She would never take them off, I've actually never seen her wrist bare more than 3 times so that says something. And the first time we did fitting and had to shoot a scene, our makeup person took off Ami's bracelet because she couldn't wear it on camera and she threw a total fit.

*Ami slapped Louis's shoulder as the three boys chuckled*

Ami : I did not throw a fit at all Louis, you're exaggerating. I might've gotten mad a bit but that was all!

Louis : Okay okay, she didn't throw a fit, but she did make a face every time she had to take them off though.

*Willie nodded his head in agreement*

Louis : And then I talked to Mrs. Johnson, wonderful lady, about incorporating t bracelets into it and she loved the idea a lot and then I had to run to the store and make the bracelets since we were planning on shooting the scene the next couple days.

Interviewer : Wow well, I bet you guys when the public watches this movie, the bracelets will become a whole trend and it'll all be because of you.

*Ami blushes and Louis grinned as he felt satisfied that the fact he would've started the bracelet trend*

Interviewer : I also noticed that the two of you had a picture of you guys hugging incorporated into the film as well, is here a backstory to it?

*Louis turned to Ami who was looking down, the flash memory of the picture ran through her mind. The whole reason they had that picture was because Ami had forgiven them over the fight they had after the Dylan incident. Before Louis can speak, Ami interrupted*

Ami : Oh well actually Louis and I had a disagreement like a day or two before that picture was taken and I was pretty upset with him. And I believe that picture was taken after table read so we were getting snacks and hanging out and such and of course Louis had asked for my forgiveness which I already had but I just wanted him to suffer a bit.

*The interviewer and Willie laughed as Ami paused her sentence while Louis nervously scratched his forehead looking at Ami*

Ami : And then Mrs. Johnson snuck up behind us to take that picture which she also last minute, included that into the film.

*The interviewer nodded his head, charmed by the professionalism the kids were demonstrating in front of him. He was surprised by how mature and how well they acted for their first interview*

Interviewer : So Louis and William, you both play big but different roles in this film, both having an impactful part on Ami's character. Since you guys are so close, do you think it's similar to your friendship in real life?

William : In my opinion, definitely, Ami and I are bestfriends, we're really close you know? She helps me out with some stuff, either lines, cooking or just life in general, and I try to do the same with her. And since we live together and are basically in the same 10 feet radius of each other at all times, we've grown on each other.

Interviewer : Yeah I get you man, that's sweet. How about you Louis? Your character kinda has a different kind of relationship with Ami's character. You both hint some feelings for each other in the film, is it the same in real life?

*Louis and Ami shared a look between them. Willie noticeably holding in his laugh behind his hand sitting right next to them. Off camera, Kuya choked on his water while Uncle Alex crossed his arms, looking between the people off camera with him and then his kids sitting in the interview chairs, worry on his face*

Louis : Oh well, that's a great question...yeah great um. I mean Ami and I super close as well, the three of us actually. So yeah I mean close relationship yup.

*Louis made an awkward face, as Ami tried to keep a smile on her face to rid the tension. Willie sitting next to Ami tried to look away to prevent him from bursting into laughter. Kuya was whispering to Uncle Alex asking if those questions were allowed. Uncle Alex shook his head*

Interviewer : Well okay William, your character is Azami's characters best friend and you tend to be overprotective over her, are you the same with her in real life?

*As Willie started to answer the interviewer's question, Ami and Louis shared a secret look before Ami turned away to look off camera. Her eyes meeting Kuya and Uncle Alex. Big wide grins on their faces. Timmy giving their two thumbs up as Uncle Alex nodded his head in approval*

——————————————

"God that was amazing you guys, you did awesome." Alex claimed from the drivers seat.

Louis, Willie and I had just finished our first ever interviewer and it went a lot better than expected other than that awkward question.  I was squished between the two boys in the back as Kuya rode shotgun, his curls flowing in the air since his window was slightly down.

I sat forward in my seat, my arms holding my stomach. The pain felt like a chainsaw going up and down my fucking vagina. I had to hold in my groans considering I didn't want to ruin the happy atmosphere with my horrible aching.

"Where do you guys want to go pick up dinner? Anywhere, you guys choose and I'll pay." Alex piped up, his attitude strangely too happy for his usual everyday mood.

"Raising Canes!" Kuya yelled over the music and wind. The yelling beginning to get on my nerves.

"Yup Raising Canes!"

"Call Jo and let her know, we're getting food."

"Raising Canes bitches!"   

Please shut the fuck up.

Uncle Alex pulled into the the Raising Canes parking lot, examining the drive through line before settling on walking in to order.

"Okay guys, let's go." Uncle Alex turned off the ignition and unlocked the doors. The sounds of unbuckling seatbelts along with the synchronized sounds of doors opening was heard through my head.

I slowly walked out of the car, still lightly gripping my stomach. I need a fucking heating pad.

We were almost at the door when I heard a gasp behind me then the feeling of one's body directly behind mine, their arms snaking around my waist. I yelped in surprise, turning around to see Willie's scarred face behind me. His face full of panic and worry.

"The fuck." I muttered.

Louis walked closer to us, looking confused.

"The hell are you doing Will?" He whispered, slightly angry.

Kuya and Uncle Alex soon joining us.

Kuya spoke up first. "What happened guys?"

"Ami's in trouble! We have to take her to the hospital!" He began to grab my arms dragging me in the direction of the car.

That's when I heard shocked gasps behind me.

I turned around to face them, horror struck their faces.

"You have blood on your pants." Louis whispered, his finger pointing down towards my pants. I looked behind me to indeed see a blood stain on the back of my pants.

I rolled my eyes, sighing in annoyance. I looked up at the now dark sky, begging for help to deal with these fucking nutbags.

"I am on my period, you dipshits. Now give me the key, I will be waiting in the car." I grabbed the key in Uncle Alex's hand and started to walk towards the car.

"Oh right...wait will you be okay? You sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" Willie cried out.

I threw a middle finger in their direction, "I'm fine!"

"What! I forgot to check the calendar!...And it was a lot of blood!"
