❝ 𝗜'𝗩𝗘 come with milkshakes! ❞ Gabby called out as she walks inside the tents that were set up for the staff and cast to take a lunch break, a few milkshakes in hand as Ricky followed in behind her with the rest of them.

Charlie's eyes lit up, "I didn't think Owen was seriously going to text you!"

"Why would I joke about a nice cold frozen milk drink?" Owen asks before he takes a sip out of the milkshake that was handed to him.

"Everyone, this is Ricky. Ricky, this is Savannah, Owen, Charlie, Jeremy, Madison, Tori, and you already know Jadah and Booboo." Gabby introduces everyone to each other, taking a seat in the empty chair next to Charlie.

Booboo playfully glared at the boy, "The roommate stealer."

"Sorry, bro." Ricky laughed, tucking his hands into the front pockets of his jeans, "But I missed my best friend."

"I'm sure that everyone needs to get back to set so I'm gonna take you to my trailer." Gabby stands up, passing the rest of her milkshake over to Owen who happily begins to drink the rest of it as she turns to Savannah, "I gotta get you ready for the Dirty Candy number."

Savannah nodded and stood up, following after the two best friends.

"Okay, if I know you, and I go, that means you have snacks hidden somewhere." Ricky says as they walk into the trailer, looking around.

Gabby smirked as she got started on Savannah's makeup, "In that book that's on the shelf. The thick looking one."

Ricky lets out a laugh as he walks over to the shelf, pulling the book off and opening it to reveal the candy hidden inside of it.

"That was a hollow book?" Savannah asked, shocked as the boy took a few things out and put it back in the same spot.

"She has like four in her bedroom." Ricky throws himself down on the couch in the trailer.

"I have to have some place to die them, if not everyone will steal my snacks." Gabby pouted, dapping the pink eyeshadow onto the blonde's eyelids. "It's my editing snacks."

"It gets eating in about twenty minutes with the two of us." Ricky's voice in muffled by the amount of candy he had stuffed into his mouth.

"Dude, chew and swallow before you choke." Gabby tells him, "I'm not preforming CPR on your ass!"

"Sorry, mom."

Gabby rolled her eyes as she finished putting the pink wig onto Savannah's head, "Alright, my love, you are done."

"Thank you, lovely." Savannah grinned, playfully kissing her cheek before she walked out.

"So, real talk." Ricky sat up as the door to the trailer closed, "Has your mom tried to call yet?"

"She knows that I'm in Vancouver, she just hasn't tried to reach out to me." Gabby shrugged her shoulder, "Not that I would actually answer her if she tried to get in contact with me. Honestly, if she tried to talk to me, I don't even know how I would react."

Ricky stood up, pulling his best friend into a hug, "I'm here to support whatever decision you make. If you don't want to talk to her, then you don't have to. She can't make you do something that you don't want to."

"I know, but still. She's supposed to be my mom, and yet she dropped me off with my brother when I was sixteen and hasn't tried to reach out to me. I'm hurt, but it really doesn't surprise me." Gabby leans her forehead on his shoulder, "Thank you."

"Always." He kissed the top of her head as the two stood there hugging each other.

𝗚𝗔𝗕𝗕𝗬 hummed along to the song playing through the speakers she had set up in the little makeup trailer that she had. Her main focus had been putting away the makeup she has used on Savannah and a few of the other girls.

Ricky hadn't stayed long after being picked up from the airport. Instead, he caught an Uber back to the small apartment that the two of them had rented out across the hall from Booboo's apartment.

The sound of her phone dinging brought her attention to the screen of her phone. The smile that has once been on her face disappeared as she read the words that appeared on the screen . . . from her mother.

"Is she fucking serious?" Gabby mumbles under her breath as the trailer door comes open, followed by three boys and Madison.

"Is who serious?" Charlie questioned, flashing her a bright smile as he closes the door behind him, being the last one in the trailer.

"Uh, no one important." She shook her head and locked her phone as 'Let Me Love You' by Justin Bieber had started playing, "Anyway, what's up?"

"We were wondering if you and Ricky wanted to come to mine and Owen's for a movie night." Charlie says, "All us teens are going."

"Let me call Ricky. He went back to our apartment." Gabby says as she pulls up his number on her phone that she had memorized for emergencies.

"I promise, the picture frame was already broken when I took it out of the box!"

Gabby raised an eyebrow, "What picture frame?"

"Oh, uh, never mind." Ricky chuckled nervously, "Are you on your way back?"

"Not yet. Charlie wanted to know if the two of us wanted to come to his and Owen's place to watch movies tonight."

"Yeah, that's cool. I'm tired of looking for shit to do anyway."

"Okay, cool. I'm gonna swing by the apartment to shower and chance." Gabby says, watching as Owen picked up the hallow book from the shelf and opening it upside down which made all the candy inside fall out.

Owen's hands instantly shoot up into the air, "I thought it was a real book!"

"Did he find the hollow book?"

"Yeah." Gabby chuckled, "I'll be there soon. Don't break anything else!"

"Not promising you anything!"

"You have a secret snack book?" Jeremy looks at her with wide eyed, "Can you talk my girlfriend into letting me get one of those?!"

﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌

𝗚𝗔𝗕𝗕𝗬 walked through the front door of her and Ricky's apartment, finding her best friend laid out on the couch with his phone in hand.

"How long are you gonna be?" Ricky questioned as Gabby unlocked her phone and tosses it down on the couch next to him.

"Not long. I wanna shower and change before we go."

Ricky looked up at her with a frown, "She texted you?"

"Yep. Don't know if I'm gonna respond or not. I'll probably text Brandon before I do anything."

❝ 𝗪𝗘𝗟𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗘 to our home. ❞ Owen jokingly bowed at the two best friends as he opens the door for the two.

"So, what are we watching?" Ricky clapped his hands together as he throws himself next to Jeremy on the oversized bean bag.

"We can't decide." Charlie shrugged, flicking through the channels as Gabby sits down next to him.

"I know what--,"

"No!" Booboo and Ricky cut the girl off as she opened her mouth, "Don't let her pick!"

"Gabs, I love you, I do, but I am not watching the freaking Sandlot again!"

"That's not fair! It's my favorite movie!"

"No!"

"How rude!"
