******* -Charleston, South Carolina- May 2019 -3:23 am.
It’s between two days of shooting that the cast of Netflix’s Outer Banks found themselves enjoying the town in which they were filming. They had wrapped their first official week of filming, adding an unplanned cast member two days in the week.
“To us, to our new adventure and to new friends!” Jonas, the show’s creator and director cheered, a shot of alcohol in his hand as he downed it, followed by the rest of the cast, even Grace Russell who was still underage in the U.S. Trying to be sneaky her castmate and new friend, Madelyn Cline, gave her the second shot she had ordered, making the younger brunette throw her head back, her face scrunching up at the familiar but foul taste of liquor that burned her throat.
“Whoo!” she shouted loudly gasping, the rest of the cast turned to her and laughed. Rudy Pankow, her character’s love interest wrapped an arm around her shoulder, bringing her to his side. Leaning her head against his shoulder she released a laugh, her throat burning slightly.
“You good?” he asked grabbing the glass from her hands. She nodded, taking a sip from the glass of water that she had been allowed to order by the bartender once he saw she was underage in the states.
“That hurt like a fucker.” She said making him and Madelyn laugh. “It wasn’t my first shot, but fuck, is the alcohol in the states like stronger or something?” she notices Jonas watching her with a smile, the man laughing at the newest cast member’s reaction. “That wasn’t a good impression to do on my boss.” She giggled.
She grabbed Mads and Maddie’s hands, walking them to the dance area of the bar, squeezing herself between the two, her hands going on both of their shoulder. She felt the music vibrate in her chest, the loud bass thumping in her ears. The three main female actresses of the show danced, their bodies glued together, moving their hips in unison, the girls laughed once they noticed that Rudy, Jonathan and Drew had joined them on the dance floor, all three in similar position to the girls’.
“We can be sexy too.” Drew shouted over the loud music, the girls laughing before twirling each other, Madison in the middle, shimmying while the two other girls were moving up and down her body in what they hoped was a sexy manner.
“That’s cute.” JD chuckled before the men did the same time, Rudy in the middle as he moved his hands up and down his torso in an exaggerated manner.
The song changed to Earned it from the Weeknd, making Grace laugh out loud, ready to step away from the dance floor but she was grabbed by Madelyn, who pulled her between her and Madison, both jokingly grinding sexily against the youngest girl. Hearing the loud laughs from the six actors the rest of the cast and crew that was there turned towards them, seeing the three dancing like there was no tomorrow. The three guys looked between themselves before laughing impressed. Jonas moved to join his actors, a smile on his face at the friendships that were already forming.
“C’mon!” Grace encouraged her new friends to join them, the sensual song long finished, replaced by “Wild One” sung by Carly Rae Jepsen. Grace sung the words at the top of her lungs, followed by Madelyn who wrapped her arms around the younger girl’s shoulders, both of them jumping, both smiling widely.
Seeing him standing there with his small camera, having walked away a few minutes away, Grace winked Rudy’s way, him catching it on film, he clicked on the red button a few times as she smiled at him. She walked to him and grabbed his hand, pulling him to dance with her. Even if she was a lot smaller than him she grabbed his hand and twirled him, before she decided that they would fake waltz, putting his hand on her back she danced around, Rudy simply deciding to move along with the brunette, both smiling widely, Jonas taking pictures with his phone of the small, new family that was forming under his eyes.

-Charleston, South Carolina- June 2019 -9:33pm
It was starting to get dark out, the sun going down as they filmed the last scene of the day, having the next day off the cast decided to go out. Grace mentally readying herself knowing she’d have to either sneak in the club they’d go in or stick to water if she ever got caught.
“IT’S A WRAP FOR TODAY! GOOD JOB GUYS, WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER ON TUESDAY!” Jonas called out to the cast and crew. Grace sighed before wiping off the dirt she had on her face. After putting away the props and grabbing her belongings she walked to her trailer where a change of clothes and snacks waited for her.
She stifled a yawn, not wanting fully wanting to go out that night she thought of the comfortable bed she and Madelyn were sharing back in their temporary apartment and her eyes started to feel heavy. She wet a washcloth with warm water before wiping at the sweat and grime on her face. She heard rhythmic knocks on her, moving her chair back, she walked to the door, opening it slightly letting only her head out.
“Yup?” she asked the blonde in front of her.
“You ready?”
“What for?”
“We’re going home for the night, movie night.” He said and she smiled, opening the door wider so he could come in while she finished, letting the door open to let the fresh air in.
“I’m actually really relieved, didn’t feel like going out.” She pulled her hair in a ponytail, baby hair sticking to her forehead. “I’m tired.” She said grabbing her bag and walking out.
“C’mon Gracie.” She heard, turning around from locking the trailer she was facing Rudy’s back, the man offering her a piggyback ride.
“I’ll walk, it’s okay.” She declines but he grabs her before she has time to protest, ending up on his back, arms holding tightly his shoulders.
They walked to the parking lot, the rest of the cast laughing when they saw the younger girl half asleep on the blonde’s back.
“Well, well. Is tiny tired?” Chase teased her. She rolled her eyes and tapped on Rudy’s shoulder to get down.
Driving home the whole car was silent, the driving service making sure the actors got home safe. Grace was smushed between the car window and Madelyn, the oldest falling asleep as soon as the car got started. When they reached the apartment building where most of the cast and crew were living, they all piled out of the car, Chase waking up Madelyn softly, helping her out of the car. The group walked into Madelyn’s small, one-bedroom apartment, finding a seat on the couch or floor. Like usual, Mads and Grace took the corner of the couch, both cuddled up under a blanket, Rudy and Chase on each side of them.
The cast was tired, working long hours, from sunrise to sun set and sometimes later... The day off was something they needed, they’d go downtown, do a little bit of shopping, getting food at a restaurant. Her eyes fluttering shut, Grace sleepily reached out next to her, feeling either Chase or Rudy’s shoulder, she honestly couldn’t tell you, her head resting on it, eyes closing.

While the others were filming something that Grace nor Rudy were needed for, they decided to go ahead and use the break to get something in their stomachs. They decided to go in her trailer, using the comfy blankets and pillows she had bought when she installed her stuff in the trailer. Grace was carrying their drinks along with their utensils and napkins while Rudy carried the takeout bags, they had ordered from the diner downtown.
“So, how’s your mom? Went back home?” he asked her, taking a tortillas chip from the bag.
“Hum, yeah, a few days ago Mads, Chase and I drove her to the airport.” She dipped the chip in salsa, frowning.
With the few months they’d spent together, Rudy grew to get to know the girl, not being as good at hiding her emotions as she might think.
“What’s up?” he asked biting into the beef burrito in his hand.
“I just miss home, is all.” She mumbled, looking up at him, sitting crisscrossed on the small couch, JJ’s large sweater on her shoulders from the last scene she filmed. “I’ll get over it.” She shrugged it off. “So, any news on that new project of yours?” she asked.
“Not yet. Gracie, you’re homesick, you should do something about it, go back home on the next break.” She nodded.
“I’ve just never been away from home that long before.” She sips on her drink, the fuzziness and sweetness of it waking her up a little bit. “It’s weird not seeing my friend every day.”
“We’re your friends too, right?” he feigned being hurt and she chuckled nodding eagerly while she ate the sauce that gathered on her fingers. “We’ll make you feel at home, I promise.” He said looking into her green eyes. She nodded reassured.
After what felt like hours, Chase, Madelyn and JD were free to go eat, the scheduled break for dinner officially there.
“Didn’t Rudy and Grace said they’d go get Mexican?” Maddie asked the two boys, her eyes lingering on the oldest a little bit longer.
“Yup, maybe they started a movie or just forgot and got something else.” Chase said as they approached the trailers parking.
“Let’s scare them.” JD suggested and Madelyn opened her phone’s camera, ready to document the whole thing. They try to make as little sound as they can hear no noise coming from the inside of the trailer, but they can smell the food, the Mexican food.
JD watched as Chase opened the door, a small gasp slipped past his lips at the sight in front of him, Madelyn pushed past him seeing her roommate cuddled up on the couch with their friend.
“Oh, my goodness,” Madelyn said behind her phone, zooming in on their relaxed faces.
Grace burrowed her face deeper in the crook between Rudy’s neck and arm, a light snore slipping out. Rudy opened one eye, glaring at his friends before he moved his free arm to his lips, shushing them, especially the blonde actress. Grace never knew that they had been “caught” until one day, months later when she couldn’t get to her because of social distancing, Madelyn posted a segment of her series “Tomfoolery” on Instagram tagging both the brunette and the blonde.

******* -Charleston, South Carolina- August 2019- 00:03
Another day of filming had just wrapped, the cast and crew leaning towards the first ever weeklong they’d have. Grace grabbed her phone out of her pocket and watched the time, a smile appearing on her lips, past midnight.
“C’mon,” she said grabbing the girls and dragging them with her.
“You’re enjoying this way too much.” Madison laughed.
“I love birthdays and think they should be celebrated properly, so what?” she turned back, pulling the jean jacket over her shoulders. “Austin liked the cake I baked him!”
“We all did, baby.” Madelyn said, wrapping her arm around the girl that’d become like her baby sister.
“What are you doing?” a voice said from next to them, Grace smiled at Lilah, Jonas’ daughter.
“It’s midnight.” She raised her eyebrows, way too excited.
They stopped by the brunette’s trailer, she grabbed a large bag from it, the content clinking loudly together making the four girls wince. They walked to the next trailer, the lights dimmed and soft music coming from it.
Grace knocked on the door, giggles falling from her lips, Rudy opened the door piece of cake in his mouth and Grace’s expression fell.
“What are you eating?” she asked.
“Cake.” He swallowed and she turned to the girl, all wearing confused expression.
“Why?”
“It’s my birthday.”
“I know, but why? Where did it come from?”
“It was there when I came in, with a note from Jonas and the crew.”
“Oh, okay then.” She said a smile on her face. “Happy birthday, by the way.”
“What’s in the bag Gracie?”
“Booze. We all wanted to go back to the apartment and bake, drunk.” She gestured to the guys that had joined them, excitement running through their veins.
“Yeah, sure let’s go.” He said, packing up the cake on the dresser, he grabbed his things and lead them out to the parking lot.
When they got to Madelyn and Grace’s apartment, they all started to get the things out, Grace putting the heavy bag on the counter, its clinking attracting the attention of the others. Not immediately noticing she took out the 9 bottles of liquor one by one, careful to not shove one to the ground, which had happened a few times.
“Huh, Gracie?” Rudy calls out, his eyes wide with surprise. “Where did you get all this?”
“I have my sources.” She said winking at Chase, looking up she saw looking at her with a deadpan expression. “You already know Chase bought that for me, why ask?” she shook her head in exasperation, making the others laugh.
The night went by fast, many, many shots were consumed, as much by the underage actors than the ones who were legal, the group all splayed out around the living room, the food they had cooked and the cake they had baked was all gone.
“So, that was great.” Chase mumbled half asleep, rubbing his nose.
“You’re saying this as if we had a fucking orgy and fucking filmed it.” Madelyn said softly, moving Grace that was lying next to her.
“Ew.” A few voices were heard, making Chase chuckle.
“You had fun, Dee?” Grace asked resting back against her forearms, the blonde sat up still picking at the frosting that was left on the cake platter.
“Yes, thank you guys.” He said, his hands going to the brunette’s that had wrapped her arms around his middle section from behind.
******* -Charleston, South Carolina- September 2019- 3:43am
Silently tiptoeing in the room, Chase, Madelyn, Madison, JD and Rudy all walked towards the sleeping girl.
“1... 2... 3...” Madelyn counted down before she lit the candle on the cake and they started singing.
“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear Graaace, happy birthday to youuuuu.” They sang, the girl opening one eye and seeing fire a foot from her face.
“What?” she said sleepily, feeling the bed dipping behind her, turning around seeing Chase’s curls.
“It’s our birthday, tiny.” He said with a smile. Reaching up, Grace placed a kiss on his cheek.
“Happy birthday, old man.” She whispered; her eyes filled with sleepiness.
“Got a wish?” Rudy asked her and she nodded.
“With me, Chase.” She said moving both of them closer, holding back her hair.
She closed her eyes, making her wish, an easy and content smile on her lips before she looked up at Madelyn who winked at her. She shot a look at Chase, making sure he was ready before they both blew out the candle, leaving the group in the darkness.
