-July 2019-

Josh's POV: 

It's been a month. A whole month where Liv and I have done things that friends don't usually do, yet we still label each other as 'friends'. I'm pretty sure the cast has no clue about it. Well, everyone except for Frankie. He's been keeping an eye on everything Liv and I do. I love confusing him.

"Hi Livvy." I greeted her as she walked into set.

"Hi Joshy." She smiled, taking my hand. We've gotten really good at hiding it.

"This is it. The last read-through." I sighed. I've been hiding away from my feelings, but I'm really scared about what will happen when the show ends.

"Yep. We've come a long way. All of us." She said, squeezing my hand. 

"What's going to happen when it ends?" I looked at her, worried.

"If you think about that, you won't live the moment. We'll worry about that later." She smiled at me.

"You're right." I agreed, hugging her, but then she wrapped her legs around my waist. "Livvy, you're going to fall." I stumbled, but she held on tighter.

"What the heck are you guys doing?" Sofia laughed.

"Uh, there was a butterfly, so Liv jumped on me." I lied.

"But, I thought Liv loved butterflies." She noted.

"Yeah, but it was big and black." I added.

"I thought black was one of Liv's favorite colors."

"It's fine guys. It's gone now." Liv said, climbing off me.

"Okay, well. Let's go." Sof smiled, opening the door for us.

Woah, I can't believe Ricky is finally saying the big words 'I don't not love you too'. I remember when Liv and I ran with the binder and we couldn't look at what was going to happen next in the series. I miss those times.

"And that's the end of the script." Tim said, emotionally. "You guys, I can't stress this enough, every single one of you has such a beautiful talent and every time the cameras start to roll none of you fail to surprise me with your skills. I'm so proud of how this show turned out, and I'm so proud of the positive environment you guys have created and maintained. Now, what team?" He teared up.

"Wildcats." We whispered. All of us were in tears.

 "No, come on guys, you can do way better than that." Tim laughed. "What team?!"

"WILDCATS!" We replied, clapping.

"Group hug, I'm crying." Frankie wept. We all went to were he was standing and formed a tiny circle of us, hugging each other.

"I love all of you so much." Julia sobbed.

"I do too." Sofia replied.

"I can't believe this is ending already." Larry added.

"It seems like a week ago we were getting to know each other. All those sleepovers, spicy uno games, jokes, drama, the videos where we pretended an earthquake was happening,-" Matt recalled.

"Matt stop, you're going to make me cry and my mascara is going to run." Dara joked, tearing up. We all laughed.

"I found a family. You guys are my second family and I'm so thankful for that. To be honest, I think you guys know me better than I know myself." I chuckled, while some tears slipped down my cheeks. "And I have a little bit of all of you guys in me. I've gained Larry's loyalty, Frankie's sass, Julia's fashion, Dara's ghost killing skills, Sofia's rationality, Matt's taste in music, as well as the looks, of course, and Olivia's joy for everything." Everyone was flooding with tears.

"Aww. You're making me cry, Joshy." Liv smiled. Leaning in to kiss me.

"Uhhh, a high five!" I said, putting my hand in front of my face, just in time. How did she forget not to do it in front of everyone? I'm the one always forgetting.

"OH! YES! A HIGH FIVE!" She remembered. 

"Umm... why was that lowkey scary?" Frankie asked us.

"Haha, I don't know." I faked a laugh.

"What if you do, but you're just hiding?" He questioned me, getting closer.

"Why would I do that?" I asked, falsely laughing.

"Frankie, stop." Sofia laughed. "You're too invested on Jolivia."

"Jolivia?" Liv mouthed to me.

"Ship name or whatever." I rolled my eyes.

Julia's POV:

Josh and Liv are so bad at hiding their feelings for each other. I think they don't know we spy on them sometimes, when they're walking near the trailers or in the parking lot, yet we never see anything more than them holding hands.

Olivia's POV:

I don't know what happened. I forgot about the whole hiding thing with Josh and I just went for it. Thankfully, he caught it just in time.

"What if we put our scripts in our trailers and head to Larry's?" Sof proposed. We nodded and walked out. Josh waited a little bit before going out. I walked slowly waiting for him.

"Hey." He smiled, grabbing my hand.

"Hi." I beamed, pecking his lips.

"What do you think about the way the show ends?" He asked me.

"I'm excited about the whole thing. It has a lot of drama." I answered. We walked through a bunch of trailers, trying to waste time.

"Don't you think they're wondering were we are?" He asked me.

"Probably." I laughed. "Let's give it 5 more minutes."

"What are going going to do then?" I asked her.

"This." She smirked, interlocking our lips together.

Josh's POV:

I held her waist, bending my knees down a little so she could place her arms around my neck. Every time our lips touch it's out of this world.

"JOSHUA TAYLOR BASSETT, YOU LITTLE-" Frankie exclaimed, making Liv and I flinch and pull away. Oh shoot, they caught us!

"Hi." I said awkwardly, standing next to Liv, realizing the whole cast was behind Frankie.

"We are going to the break room, now!" Frankie demanded, pushing Liv and I to walk. Everyone followed him.

Once we got there, Frankie sat Liv and I on the couch. I interlocked my fingers with Liv's fingers. It was nice that she didn't pull away this time, we've been hiding it for a month.

"YOU GUYS ARE DATING! I KNEW IT! LARRY WAS RIGHT!" Frankie squealed. I wish that was true. Liv and I stayed quiet until he stopped doing whatever he was doing. 

"Are you calm now?" I asked him. He nodded, taking deep breaths. "We're not dating."

"WHAT?!"Everyone exclaimed. Hahaha.

"You guys are joking." Sofia laughed.

"No, we're really not." Liv replied.

"Wait- So, what was- You guys are- WHAT?!" Frankie stuttered.

"So then, what are you guys?" Larry asked. I looked at Liv. If it were up to me we'd be married....Well, maybe not that far, but you get what I mean. I noticed she didn't answer. She wanted me to decide? Oh boy.

"Uh, we're friends." I answered, not looking away from her to see any type of reaction. "Right?" I mumbled to her. She nodded.

"Friends that kiss?" Matt asked.

"Uh, yep. That's us." I smiled.

"I don't know, I'm pretty sure they are dating." Julia shrugged, everyone nodded. I turned to look at Liv again, I could tell she was uncomfortable.

"We're not. Can we just drop the subject?" I asked.

"But you guys were-" Frankie started.

"Please." I said.

"Okay, fine." He gave up. Then a wave of awkward silence came.

"Are we still going to Larry's?" I asked. Everyone nodded and headed to their cars. Liv was coming in my car, and Sofia was going in Larry's car.
