Amy's POV 
I sat at the theatre once more. This time I was closer to the stage. Tommy sat next to me but would stand up every now and again. 
"Jasmine. Come on. You know this dance off by heart. Why aren't you getting your blocking right?" He asked her crossing his arms. 
"Sorry Tommy." She gulped. Tommy never gets mad at Jasmine. That's weird. Maybe something is up. Ten minutes later, the cast ran through Cabinet Battle 1, Take a Break, Say No To This and Room Where It Happens. We had a bunch of new swings learn their parts so they were going on tonight. Anthony sat next to me and watched. I looked up and squinted at Jasmine. Is she crying? Oh god. What happened? Doing the bit where she's kneeling on the ground and both her and Lin say 'Helpless', I could've sworn I saw her wipe a tear. I sighed and stood up and walked pat Anthony and go to stage right where Jasmine had walked off stage. 
"Jasmine." I smiled and she looked at me and shook her head. "Jasmine. What's up?" I asked her and she shook her head once more. "Just I can't help you if you won't tell me what's wrong?" I asked her and she grabbed her drink bottle and took a sip from it. "Jas." I smiled and placed my hand on her shoulder. She hugged me and began to cry. "Oh Jasmine. What's wrong?" I said rubbing her back. She wasn't saying anything. Thank god there were no other cast members around. I decided to help her up to the roof so she could get some fresh air. I sat on her one of the benches and sat across from her. "Would you like to tell me what's up?" I asked her kindly and she nodded. I wasn't excepting her to tell me straight away so I just sighed and watched her sip from her drink bottle. 
"B-Benny and I-" she stopped her speech to son again. 
"It's alright. Take a deep breath and start start again." I smiled placing my hand gently on her knee. 
"Benny and I. We uhh, we had a fight last night." 
"Before Anthony and I got back?" She nodded a yes to my question. I knew her mood was odd last night. I moved to sit next to her. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and brought her close to me. She needed someone to be with her. Right now I'm that person. "C-can I ask what you guys fought about?" I asked her carefully. 
"We were just arguing about the small things but then it became a heated argument and then he walked off and left." She cried. 
"Oh honey." I felt so bad for her. I placed a kiss on her head. "You'll be okay Jas." she nodded. "So, are you guys like, over or do you think you'll want to speak to him about it- oh shit he didn't hit you did he?" 
"No no. He didn't touch me. He just got really angry really fast. I don't know why. I really want to talk to him." She sniffled and someone opened the door. 
"I thought I would find you up here." Anthony chuckled, sitting across from me and pointed to Jasmine when she shut her eyes. 
"I'll explain later." I mouthed and he nodded. "Why couldn't we just be like you two?" I think Jasmine was referring to her and Benny when she said 'we'. 
"Sorry?" Anthony asked confused. 
"I mean, you guys never fight. The only thing I've heard you two debate about is what New York basketball team to go for." 
"Knicks." 
"Nets." 
Jasmine showed a small smile. I glad we could make her smile.  
"But seriously, you guys are perfect. You guys never disagree with anything. You see each other pretty much every day and you don't get sick of each other's companies. It's kinda cute." Jasmine said taking her head off my shoulder. "And you guys take things slow, well when you guys first started dating you took things kinda fast but now you guys are just..." Anthony and I looked at each other and then back at Jasmine. "chill." She ended her sentence. 
"Jasmine. If you're not okay to do the show tonight, I can tell Lin and he can get one of the swings, probably Ari to play Peggy and Maria." Jasmine shook her head in disagreement. "I'll be alright." She smiled and gave me one last hug and left. 
                          
Anthony smiled at me. "Is she okay?" I nodded. 
"Her and Benny had a disagreement." I told him feeling guilty. I set those two up. What if they break up? No. That can't happen.  He sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulders and kissed my head. 
"You're the most amazing person ever. You know that right." He smiled and I blushed. I thought about Jasmines words. She was right. Anthony and I had never had a fight before. I've seen Vanessa and Lin fight about how he doesn't get enough sleep and his always at the theatre but, yeah, Anthony and I haven't had a serious fight. I mean, there was that time when Anthony punched Daveed at Phillipa's Engagement party.  
"How's your wrist?" Anthony asked picking up my left hand and putting it in his. I got a new tattoo yesterday with the letter C in curly writing on the outside/pinky side of my wrist. Charlie. Charlie was there with me when I got it done, so was Anthony. It was something I've been meaning to get for a long time. It's a in subtle spot which I can hide it with a watch or a bracelet in case I don't want anyone seeing it. I brought my knee up to my chest and cuddled into Anthony's body. He was nice and warm. 
"It's nice out here, huh?" He whispered playing with the tips of my hair. I nodded. "Do you want to go back inside." Anthony suggested and I shook my head. 
"I was want to stay out here with you." I smiled and he placed a kiss on my head. I love this man with all my heart. He has been there through thick and thin. I played with my necklace, the one he gave me for our anniversary and couldn't help but smile. 
"Awww you guys are goals." Oak squealed like a girl as he saw us. I mentally groaned. 
"Really? Oak?" Anthony said. 
"Oh were you about to get some?" Oak chuckled and I giggled. 
"He wasn't." I smiled and Anthony kissed my head. 
"Anyways. I just gonna put a picture of you two on instagram but I thought I would ask for your permission first." He smiled sitting next to me. 
"Oh sure." I shrugged and he smiled and posted the photo he took of us just before he bombarded our moment. We walked back inside the theatre. It seemed a bit colder than usual so I stole Anthony's jumper off him and wore it backstage. 
                          
"You remember those girls from New Zealand who I met yesterday?" I said to Anthony as he played around with his microphone. 
"Yeah. The two girls that gave you the pineapple lumps, which we opened last night at Lin's and they're all sweet." 
"Yep." I smiled. "I was just causally stalking their twitters and the blonde one is obsessed with you. Everything she tweets is about you. Oh wait, here's one of us. She thinks it cute that I wear your clothes. Aww, well I rarely do that." 
"Ahem." Oak laughed as he pointed to Anthony's jumper on my body. 
"It keeps me warm." I crossed my arms. 
"Can you help me with my ruffles?" Anthony asked and I got up and fixed his shirt.  "Thank you." He smiled and kissed my forehead. I saw Oak roll his eyes in the mirror. 
"How do you two not get sick of each other?" Oak asked as he put his coat on. I shrugged. 
"We keep it minimal when we're here because obviously we have our own things to do, and when we go back to either mine or Anthony's we're weary of the people around us, like Jasmine or Charlie." I turned to face Oak so Anthony was behind me.
"That's true. Charlie hates it when we even get close together." 
"But we find ways. You know, we go on small dates to get coffee and we like to keep it spontaneous." I smiled as Anthony wrapped his arms around my body. "Also, have you noticed that Anthony gets really shy when I talk about him." I giggled. I knew he was blushing behind me. 
"Right. Well you guys make it work." Oak laughed and Sebastian came running into the room with Lin following him. 
"Buddy. People are getting changed." Lin told his son. 
"Amy!" Sebastian squealed, holding the plush kiwi bird I gave him yesterday. 
"Hey bud. What's up?" 
"Can you tell me another story again?" He asked me as I picked him up. Lin sighed. 
"Can you tell him something, you know, that has a message behind it." 
"Yesterday's story did, didn't it?" I questioned Sebastian. 
"Yep. A girl learnt how to ride whales." He smiled and rolled my eyes. 
"How about, if you're good during the show, I'll tell you another one. And it will be a good one. I promise." I smiled at him and placed a kiss on his head. 
"Amy. When I grow up, I want to be like you." Sebastian said cutely. 
"Aww, that's very kind of you Seb." I smiled as he cuddled closer to me. "I'll definitely try and think of a good story." I smiled at him and he nodded. 
                          
Sebastian left with Lin and I decided to get ready for the show. I had to collect all the letters and smaller props like feathers and put them in their respected folder side stage. I sat on the stage management office organising the cues for tonight's show. Tommy thought it would be a good idea if we try a couple of new cues. Carleigh and Sydney were also in the room with me. 
"This is for Facebook. Can I come in there? " 
Leslie asked pointing to his phone. I think it's for a live. "There's Amy. Our stage manager." I smiled and waved into the phone. That's so weird. You remember Carleigh, and there's Austin." He said a quick hello. "and Sydney."
"Good to see you're on time today." I joked and he laughed. 
"Yep." 
"You're still married." I said and pointed to his ring. 
"Oh shit. Thanks. I forgot." He said and he took of his wedding ring and gave it to me too either look after or put it back in his dressing room. He left. 
"It's your favourites." He said into the phone referring to Anthony and Phillipa who just walked past and smiled into the camera. "Whoa. Facebook live." 
"Weird." I giggled at their responses and went back to my work. We start the show in under a minute. I just hope everything works out.
