What's your favourite thing about Ripley?
Just one thing? Aw, come on, bro. Well, she's such a cool girl. She's got all this talent and know-how and stuff just bursting to come out. I wish I had that kind of focus and passion for one thing, nevermind like, five. And she's humble as hell, too. Genuinely, she's so fucking cool and she doesn't even know it.
Wait - aw, Charlie. That's really nice. You didn't have to say all that.
who do you turn to when you need a hug?
MY SEPH. I'm lucky enough to have a fuckton of good pals, and I love a cuddle - but aw, Seph is always there when I need a squish.
How are you doing right now?
I'm fine, thank you. I know people expect me to be falling apart over a breakup, but I know my worth now. And I know where I'm wanted and where I'm not. I'm having a lovely time living with Ripley! She's so stupidly talented, kind and patient with me. We're having soooo much fun!
I love you, Amira! And I love having you as a roommate.
What's your favourite thing about film making?
I like the idea of bringing something new to the world. Something that nobody else has done before, you know? Something original. Even if that sounds a bit egotistical to say. And silly, I guess. I probably don't know as much about film making as I think I do. I haven't made anything in years and I don't even know where I would begin.

Ripley is being very understanding about me turning her flat into a circus!
@ripleyluwho: It gives me the perfect opportunity to work on my killer clown make-up!
âCharlie and I donât like each other like that, Rip. He was just... safe, yâknow? The only guy I knew that wasnât forcing me to... But no, itâs not weird,â she shook her head, reassuring her friend.
She meant every word of it. Charlie was her friend, nothing more. They werenât compatible like that, especially with his current habits. In a lot of ways, Seph weighed him down. It had only ever been friendship on the cards for the two of them â and Persephone had always been lucky to receive even that â but she had always wondered if there was something more between her two friends.
 âBesides, you wanted to... Right? When you first met?âÂ
She remembered Ripley recounting the fact that sheâd gone home with Charlie, only to run out on him soon after. Sephy didnât think it was anything to be ashamed of, and she doubted Charlie had judged her for it either. He was a gentleman at heart, and his fondness for Ripley was plain to see. She supposed she shouldnât have been surprised that the two of them had been sharing secrets, confiding in each other while Persephone wasnât around. She hated that it smarted, though. Ripley had every right to share whatever she wanted with whomever she wanted.Â
Persephone was much happier and healthier now than she had been when Ripley had first known her, but that didnât stop the doubt from creeping in. No amount of security made you fully immune to your own mind. It didnât matter how many years had past, or how much rehab and therapy sheâd endured. Thereâd always be that voice in the back of her mind whispering Itâs happening again. Theyâre replacing you.Â
Ripley hadnât had any say in leaving Sephy behind. Sheâd been young and just as trapped as her best friend, but sheâd been abandoned and forgotten by plenty of others in her stead. People sheâd claimed were friends or mentors that had looked down on her as nothing but a plague, costars and superiors that sheâd trusted to take care of her and have her back only for them to turn a blind eye to the abuse sheâd faced. Sephy knew Ripley wasnât anything like that, nor Charlie for that matter, their every step paved with good intentions, but her mind was clouded with uncertainty. Charlie was brighter and easier to get along with than she was â he was fun on a night out, not hiding in a corner somewhere sipping on a glass of coke and squirming under the sharp spotlights of the club. Ripley was prettier than she was, with a gentler soul and a kinder heart. Why wouldnât they be better suited as friends?Â
âItâs not stupid, Rip. Thatâs amazing,â she nodded encouragingly, shoving her own concerns to the back of her mind. She eyed her best friend curiously, wondering if sheâd ever want to share any of her findings with her. Ripleyâs father had been just about the only person in the industry that Persephone could guarantee made her feel safe, and it made her happy to know that Rip might want to look further into the work heâd left behind. It deserved to be finish. âHow long have youâ?âÂ
She trailed off, not wanting to finish that sentence. Sheâd been about to ask âhow long have you had them?â before deciding against it. It was a selfish probe that wouldâve only worked to make her feel worse in the long run. It didnât matter how long she'd had them, nor how long Charlie had known. What mattered was that Sephy support her friend and be there for her.Â
âI think heâd be really proud of you, actually? I know I am.âÂ
âOh God.â Ripley let out an embarrassed laugh, pushing her face into her hands when Sephy brought up the first night sheâd met Charlie. There had been many embarrassing moments in the life of Ripley Mendoza, but that night definitely ranked high among them.
âI mean, I thought he was cute. And it was the first time Iâd really drank for, well - years, honestly. I was a little tipsy and he played Uptown Girl which was nice. And he was friendly to me, which was also nice. And even after I completely freaked out on him, he was also just nice,â she explained, fingers pressing into her eyebrows as she recalled the night sheâd gone home with Charlie, making out on his sofa until she realised things might go further, only to have what could be described as the most humiliating anxiety attack of her life.
Pushing her hands through her hair, she ran her fingers over her scalp until they rested at the back of her neck. She interlinked them together over the top of her dark locks and gave Sephy a sheepish, but somewhat sad, smile.
âDo you think maybe the two of us arenât really used to guys being nice?â she asked quietly.
The embarrassment didnât disappear when she spoke about her dadâs unfinished movie. It was briefly replaced by a flash of guilt when Sephy queried how long sheâd known about the notebooks for. Her friend hadnât actually finished her sentence but Ripley was seasoned in her knowledge of all things Persephone Blake and could easily fill in the gaps.
She picked up her knife, picking at strays bits of pumpkin guts from the inside of her massacred art project. She didnât know if Sephy would be angry at her for not immediately telling her about her fatherâs old scribbled notes as soon as sheâd come across them in his apartment, now hers. Sephy had always been fond of Daniel Mendoza. Heâd looked out for her too, when nobody else in the industry would.
âA while,â she admitted quietly. âBut I didnât even read them until recently. Every time I tried, my chest hurt a bit too much so I had to wait until it hurt⊠less. I guess. And then when I did read them and I realised what they were I think I wanted to keep them to myself for a little while longer. So I could have a bit of him no one else did. I know itâs selfish.â
Ripley winced and risked another peek at Sephy. She gave her a small, apologetic grimace.
âAre you mad?â
