Chapter 45.

Well it's official. Hayley and Eleanor have gone on tour with the lads for a while, Danielle is currently in Paris for work and I'm working again! I'm really excited about it too; the film I've currently been working on for the past few weeks is called 'Freed' and the script is absolutely amazing. It's about the controversial and unique coming together of a couple, a typical rom-com really but with a bit of a twist. The crew have been so welcoming and understanding, knowing that it's my first time back on the job after months. The cast are incredibly talented too, my main costars are Joseph and Kara who are actually a couple even though my character and Joseph's character are the ones in the controversial relationship within the film.

"How's your back?" Kara asks politely as I walk into work. I told them both about my small stumble in front of Stuart-the-pizza-guy not too long ago, and since then they've been asking constantly about my back. I mean it was only a small stumble right? Yeah, it was a lot of pain, but I've had worse than that before.

"It was only a little tumble, why is everyone so worried about it?" I chuckle at everyone's over protective tendencies towards me, at the beginning I thought it was just Harry being Harry, but now everyone is just as protective.

"Because we care, now answer the question Styles." Kara replies bluntly and I smile.

"It's better, thank you for asking," I share my politest smile and head straight over to the food table to get some breakfast. Cereal seems like a good choice today, I think I'll have some cereal.

After acquiring my delicious looking breakfast I wander over to the small group that has gathered in the centre of our set. Everyone seems to be gathering around our director Mark as he explains the schedule for today; we are going to be filming three main scenes today, one of which is a fairly intimate scene.

I remain at the back of the huddle, quietly consuming my breakfast when I hear my name being called. My hand immediately raises to signal that I'm listening, I can't exactly use my mouth considering it's full with cereal. How embarrassing...

"You enjoying that Em's?" Mark asks me, the entire cast and crew turning themselves to look at me, my cheeks full with those familiar crunchy wheat hoops.

I swallow the large bite of cereal and smile, releasing a small cough. "Yeah, sorry," I laugh. "It's really good."

Chuckles erupt from the group as Mark starts to speak. "Good to know. How many people would you be comfortable with when filming scene twenty?" He questions inquisitively, scene twenty being the more intimate scene. That's what I like about Mark as a director, he never fails to make anyone laugh, he's so laid back and he always wants everyone to be as comfortable as possible. He's a really considerate director, and only young, probably about thirty.

"Well I'd be comfortable with eight." I answer. You see, I like to call sex scenes 'intimate scenes' because as an actor, that's what they are; it's basically a scene when you're either naked or in some fancy lingerie, and therefore for some, it can be uncomfortable. The first ever time I did a scene like this I was extremely uncomfortable, it was just really awkward having to attempt to be intimate with someone and then having an access of five crew members watching and filming you both. Whereas now, I don't feel like that anymore, you get used to the idea, and the extra people don't bother you because none of it's real anyway. It's just acting.

"Joey, how many for you?" Mark calls Joseph by his nickname. I know that Joseph hasn't don't many of these scenes before and he's probably still in that awkward phase, so whatever makes him a bit more comfortable is fine with me, I've been through that before so I know the feeling.

"Eight seems okay." He hesitates.

"Okay it's sorted, we'll do that one first to get it out of the way." Mark claps his calloused hands together and everyone disperses.

"Are you sure you're okay with eight?" I ask Joseph as both Kara and I look at him in concern. He runs a hand through his dirty blonde hair and his green eyes avert down to the floor, thinking carefully over his decision. I glance at Kara to see her awaiting expression.

"Yeah, it'll be okay right? I mean, it's not that many." Kara breathes a sigh of relief and runs her hand down her boyfriends arm.

"Joe, you can say less if you want to. Mark just wants you to feel comfortable." She starts, trying to make him feel better.

"No it's okay, I'll be fine." His lips roll into his mouth and he bites them thoughtfully.

"Well you have Emma right there with you, so if you need anything or you feel uncomfortable just let her know." I nod at Kara's words so Joseph knows that I'm like his safety blanket.

"You two ready?" Mark interrupts the three of us, talking directly to Joseph and I. We both nod and Joseph takes a deep breath, walking side by side to the set.

•••

"See it wasn't that bad of a day!" I smile at Joseph and Kara.

"Yeah, I thought it would be a lot worse than that. Thanks Em's." He's so lovely. The scene went perfectly, I don't actually think it could have gone any better than it did; it took about two hours to film due to the choreography of our movements, the other two scenes took a lot longer but that's just because there were more people to film with than just two.

My favourite scene must have been when we were filming outside. It's autumn now and the leaves have begun falling from the trees, turning a crisp orange and red colour as they float down to the grass beneath. I love autumn, mainly because it rains, but mostly because I love hearing the crunch of autumn leaves beneath my feet and the rustle they create when the wind rushes between them. It was absolutely perfect weather for today's scene and it's left me on a really good note.

I've had a really lovely day, another brilliant day of filming. I can already tell this movie is going to be big, the characters are immense and there's a bit of something for everyone I think. The days seem to fly by, filming is going so smoothly and I'm sure we'll be done before we know it.

"It's okay, I wouldn't want you to feel uncomfortable at all, and if I can help in any way then I will." His smile widens, I think he's realised what kind of person I am and that I just want everyone to be happy. It's as simple as that.

"Thank you. Genuinely." His tone of voice is so sincere it melts my heart, I smile back at him as Kara walks from behind and links his arm lovingly resting her head lightly onto his shoulder. They are absolutely adorable together.

"Ready to go?" She asks Joseph.

"Yeah, we'll see you tomorrow Em's. Have a nice night." They both share a small wave at me before walking to Joseph's car, embracing in a small kiss before their arms delink and they go to either sides of the vehicle. I myself stroll over to Russell, sitting there casually in his shimmery blue prime, waiting for me to drive home. I enter the car and smile, placing my bag beside me on the passenger seat and driving the twenty minute journey home.

However, as I pause at a set of traffic lights I feel the need for some retail therapy. I haven't been since the girls left considering I haven't really had anyone to go with. Which reminds me, Christina sent me some links of clothes to have a look at; I let her have a few weeks off considering I've been working, so she and her boyfriend decided to go to LA for a two week long holiday. I keep getting pictures and updates on how everything is going over there, I'm so happy she's having a good time. Although as always, she's got her working head constantly on so I get links to clothes that she thinks would look perfect on me.

I pull up at the shopping centre and park Russell around the back to avoid being seen. I shoot Alex a quick text telling him where I am and sit back to wait for his speedy arrival. He shouldn't be long, he never is.

Me: I'm just at the shopping centre now and I'm going to look for those clothes. I'll send you pictures of what they look like, could you tell me what you think please? xx'

I send the text message to Christina and have a reply within seconds, saying that she will happily oblige. My head falls back onto the headrest behind me and I close my eyes, peace overtaking my senses as I bask in the silence of my Mini Cooper. I know it seems strange but, it genuinely is nice to have time to myself; just to be able to sit back and relax after a fourteen hour day knowing that no one will disturb me. It's scares me how comfortable it feels now to have Harry away on tour, it almost appears that I'm unaffected but that isn't the case, it just becomes more bearable.

Once Alex arrives and taps lightly on my window, we walk into the vast centre and straight into the first shop, "right Alex we're looking for a mocha coloured jumper first and it should be in here." I nonchalantly rummage through my bag and hand him a packet of spearmint chewing gum, he loves chewing gum.

We search the shelves, and yes I mean 'we', even though he thinks it's totally uncool Alex is still looking for the jumper. He's even trying to act as if he's just doing his job, but I know he's looking for the jumper, I wasn't born yesterday Alex.

The jumper is in the last place we look for it which is at the very back of the shop. Alex coughs over in the direction that it's in and I hold in my chuckle. "Aww found it!" My feet carry me briskly over to the item, "well done Alex." I smirk and nudge him teasingly.

He rolls his brown eyes as we continue the search for the other items. Christina has only sent me the links that make up for one outfit, she said that I already have a couple of things that I could use for autumn wear so she isn't worrying too much, but this outfit she just fell in love with. I don't blame, her it's starting to look perfect.

We are interrupted a couple of times by some excited fans but they willingly decide to lend a hand and help us search for the items. How sweet of them! They items are found within a matter of time and I thank the fans gratefully, getting a picture with them all before going straight to the dressing room and trying the outfit on, as Alex sits bored outside.

"Hello?" I answer my phone after two rings, still wriggling to get the tan coloured boots on.

"Hi Em's it's Anne." My mother in law chirps through the phone and I can't help but reveal my large Cheshire grin as I hop, it's good to hear her voice.

"Hey Anne! It's lovely to hear from you!" I erupt happily.

"You too sweetie. I was just wondering, I'm off work in a few weeks and I was planning on coming down to London for a visit, is that okay?" She questions although it's perfectly fine with me, like I've said before, it's nice to have the company.

"Yeah sure, I'd love to have you over. Just you, or is Robin coming too?"

"No it's just me, Robin has to work. We can have a girly time." I hear her smile, just like Harry's when I speak to him on the phone.

"Okay then, well let me know when you want to come down and I'll be sure to finish work early." I stand finally, examining the warm and cosy outfit that I'm currently trying on.

"Oh yes, you're working again, that's so brilliant! How's it going?" She asks me, genuinely interested in how everything is going.

"It's going really well actually, and by the looks of things I think we'll be finished very soon. Filming is going really smoothly so," I end on that note, not really knowing anything else to add.

"Aww wonderful sweetie. Well I'll speak to you soon to arrange something."

"Okay Anne. Speak soon!" We both hang up and I send a quick picture of the outfit to Christina, she approves. "Tah-dah!" I cheer as I pull the curtain back and show Alex the outfit.

"S'nice." He mutters with little enthusiasm, he's clearly bored.

"You're a man of many words Alex. It's a wonder how anyone else gets to speak when you're in the room." I roll my eyes sarcastically and smile, as does he.

I avert my eyes down to my phone as the screen lights up, seeing that I have a text message.

'We're here.'
