The last day on set was quieter than Adelaide had expected it to be. She was nervous, and even admitted to Jessie she almost didn't want filming to end, as the cast would be splitting ways for at least a little while.

"I don't know, I just," Addie closed her eyes and let out a heavy sigh. "I kind of don't want it to end, you know? Like it's been so much fun getting to work with my best friends it's bittersweet."

"I get it completely, Addie," Jessie told her from the other line, feeling almost sad for his girlfriend. He was in Los Angeles, filming for his movie Miss Stevens.

"You know," he said, with a tone in his voice that Adelaide didn't quite like. "I've told you, you should get an agent. Become an actor full-time."

Addie sighed once more. This was a topic she didn't quite like, considering she seemed to have it with everyone these days.

"You're really good, Addie," he told her, nothing but the truth. "I mean, c'mon, you've been acting to like me and no one's known the difference," he joked, and Addie laughed.

"Well I'm obviously not good enough if you've figured it out," she smiled, feeling more relaxed.

"I think you should seriously think about it," he said, and then Adelaide heard a male voice in the background. "Shit, I gotta go. But I'll text you when I'm done for the night. Bye, good luck."

"You too, bye," She said, and the call ended.

Now, here she stood, looking out onto the set and knowing the next time she'd see it would be at the premiere, on the big screen. The thought of that put butterflies in her stomach.

"Hey, Ads," she heard Anthony's voice from behind her, and as she turned around, she noticed Sebastian was with him.

"Hey, guys," she smiled at them, wrapping them up in a hug.

"You just saw us yesterday, Addie," Sebastian said, though he hugged her back.

"I know, but it's the last time we'll be here together," she said as she pulled away, a frown now at her lips.

"Yes, but," Anthony started, only to trail off in thought. "Actually, I'm not sure when we'll all be together again." He frowned. "I'm sure we'll all see you for your birthday, miss almost twenty-six," he smiled brightly, which seemed contagious as Addie also began to smile.

"Really? When's your birthday?" Sebastian asked, an eyebrow raised and a soft smile on his lips.

"November twelfth," she beamed.

"So right around Scarlett and Mark's," Seb nodded his head.

"What about Mark?" A voice asked, joining the conversation. Adelaide smiled even brighter, seeing Chris.
