I See The Light (An Eddie Redmayne Fanfiction)

Chapter Thirteen

The next week

I run into the building, a half hour late for our panel interview. I had a show today so I had to finish it and stage door.

My flats were in my hand because I can't run with shoes on. A stage hand directs me to the green room where everyone is waiting.

"She's here!" Hugh shouts from where he and Russell were on the couch.

"Sorry I'm late." I said breathlessly, sitting beside Eddie on the couch across from them.

"Don't get too comfy. We have to go on in five minutes." I ignored him and lay my head on his shoulder, closing my eyes.

"Everyone on stage." A stage hand says, making me groan.

Eddie pulls me off the couch, holding my hand tightly in his. We walk onto stage, the audience clapping for us.

Sam and I start waving and doing some weird dance moves, until the stage manager yells at us.

We sit in director style chairs, labeled with our names. In order we sit Hugh, Russell, Anne, Eddie, Me, Sam, and then Aaron.

As soon as I sit down, Eddie grabs my hand and laces our fingers together. Since he got mad at me then apologized, he's been doing cute little acts of kindness that are super cute.

"I want a boyfriend." Sam whispers to me, making me laugh.

"All in good time." I whisper back.

The stage manager comes and hands us each a microphone and a mic pack. I clip it onto my shirt and put the mic pack under my leg.

"Just give it to me. I'll put it in my pocket." Eddie whispers, taking it and putting it in his pocket.

"Thank you." I say, squeezing his hand as the interviewer, Jake, comes out and sits in his chair.

"Hello!" He says. He starts tapping away on his iPad, the questions probably on there. "So Les Miz came out this week." We all nod. "Do you guys like watching yourself on screen? Or on stage?"

"I don't really care." Hugh answers.

"I don't like watching myself if I mess up." I add.

"No one likes watching themselves mess up," Anne says. "But I like watching other people mess up." Everyone laughs.

"But do you like watching yourselves on stage in movies?" Jake asks. We all pretty much nod. "Okay, moving on. What is one word to describe filming with each other?"

"Crazy." Russell says.

"Interesting." Anne adds.

"Weird." Aaron says.

"Fun!" Sam squeals.

"Lots of mess ups." I say.

"That's not one word, Ali." Eddie says.

"Well it describes filming." I snap.

"Couple of the year." Aaron says, gesturing to us.

"Oh ya, you two are dating." Jake says. "And you met through Les Miz?" We both nod.

"They're the cutest couple ever." Hugh adds.

"And she talks about him all the time." Sam gushes.

"That is not a true fact." I defend myself, still clutching Eddie's hand.

"I beg to differ." Anne says.

"It was true when we got our nails done before the premiere." Sam adds.
