When we shot the cameo scene with the rest of the band.
And had to keep redoing it because Trevor couldn’t keep a straight face half the time, and Andrew kept snorting like he was too big of a deal to do anything.
Besides that, fans had caught wind of what was happening, and we had groupies lining the outside of the set. We had to call in extra security.
And things only got worse as the day progressed.
We shot two more scenes.
Ang watched from the sidelines, flanked once again by Demetri and Alec. I’d never been so thankful for two rock stars in my entire life as I was of those guys.
And I wanted to make sure they knew it.
By way of making sure that every single deal from here on out they inked got them paid more than what was godly or acceptable, I’d even take out my percentage completely.
Not that they needed it, but it was all I had in my power to give.
Besides, Demetri had dreams of an AD2 theme park.
I laughed at the thought.
“What the hell’s so funny?” Andrew snapped at me.
“Your face,” Trevor said under his breath.
Yeah, the longer we spent together the more we reverted to our teens, and as the guys spoke of our memories together, one thing became glaringly clear.
It was always the group.
But Andrew and I had always been the glue.
We finished the second scene just as another crowd surged in to watch from a few hundred feet away.
“Security isn’t going to be able to handle this much longer.” Jay said walking up to us. “Who the hell leaked our location?”
I turned to Andrew.
Jay’s eyes narrowed in. “Give me a bloody break. I’m trying to make a film!”
“I can’t help that location services are turned on.” Andrew shrugged and tucked his phone back in his pocket. An angry lion tattoo peaked out from under the torn sleeve of his white t-shirt. The guy dressed like he was either ready to go join a rock band or just killed them all and stole their tour bus full of clothes.
I groaned into my hands.
“Quite the photo op.” Andrew put on a pair of dark Ray-Bans. “AD2, Jamie Jaymeson, Zane Andrews, and Adrenaline all in the same space. I’d say I did all of your Instagram followers a favor, especially Will, since he doesn’t have any social media…”
“I like my privacy,” I snapped.
“Clearly. Since it’s almost impossible to get ahold of you.” Andrew seethed.
What?
“He owns his own agency. Trust me, all you have to do is lazily tell Siri what number to call.” Jay rolled his eyes. “You done with this bullshit? Because we need one more run through and then you can go eat small children and join a vampire cult.”
Trevor snorted while Ty covered his mouth with his hand.
Andrew glared over at Jay, smart enough not to mouth off to the A-lister who held many celebrities’ careers by the balls.
“Yeah, sure.” Andrew finally said forcing a fake smile that made me want to punch his teeth out.
The scene slated.
Ang winked over at me while we all did our little impromptu chat about music, Ty tapped his drumsticks against the table, we laughed, waved at the main characters, did a few head nods as they walked by.
And then Jay cut.
“Thank God.” I stood.
“Well that was fun.” Trevor shoved his drumsticks into the back of his jeans and grabbed his cell. “Now I have a wife whose birthday I just missed for this shit, so if you’ll excuse me, I’m waiting for naked pictures.”
“Wait, she sends you naked pictures on her birthday?” Ty asked, “How does that even make sense? It’s not your birthday.”
Trevor smirked, “So much for you to learn my man, you see she sends me pictures naked, and then I come up with creative things to do to her body depending on what she’s doing in the pictures. Think of it like… a plan of attack. And trust me, when it’s over with, she’s having the best birthday of her life.”
Ty seemed to think about this. “That’s solid, man.”
“Once a ladies’ man,” I said under my breath.
“Like you can even talk!” Ty shoved me a bit. “Before Angelica Greene all I did was find you kissing groupies, groping groupies, hitting on groupies — buying drinks for groupies—”
I waved him off, “Yeah okay, I get the point.”
“And then dear William fell in love,” Trevor said in a high voice. “Really good to see you two found each other again.”
“Yeah.” I smiled and looked back at her. “It’s been… great.”
“Spare me your bullshit.” Andrew surged to his feet. “It’s been great.” He made air quotes. “Which part? The part where you guys just forget all the shit that went down between the three of us? Or how about the part where you ignore the facts about what really happened?”
