McKenna's POV:

November 3rd, 2021

Unfortunately, Joey had returned to Cincinnati, leaving me in New York alone. But that's okay because today is my last day in New York. I had an interview to go to and then I was going to be on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

I got ready and left the bruises on my face and arms untouched so everyone could see what those fans did to me. I was taken to my first interview and sat down to be questioned. "Hi, McKenna, welcome to 'Wired' Today we are going to have you answer the web's most asked questions about you."

I smiled, "Okay, that sounds like fun," I looked at the camera for the intro. "Hi, I'm McKenna Blake and this is the Wired Autocomplete Interview. I hope y'all are ready to learn something about me," I said with a faint laugh. There were a few boards that sat at my feet and I was starting with 'Is McKenna Blake...' "Okay, so I have googled myself once or twice, it has been a while it was mostly when I first started acting. Alright, here we go, Is Kenna Blake... in Marvel? Yes, I was in the Black Widow movie that came out earlier this year. I played Samara, she was a Black Widow assassin." I pulled the next tab, "Is Kenna Blake... nice? No," I shook my head with a laugh, "It all depends on perspective, I think I'm in the middle of nice and not just because I have really good days but I also have really bad days too. Is Kenna Blake... in Star Wars?" I sighed for a moment, "I am not, but I would love to be! I love Star Wars," I took the next tab and pulled it, "Is Kenna Blake... dating anyone? No, I am not. Is Kenna Blake... into Sports, yes. I am a huge professional sports fan. My teams are the Cincinnati Bengals, Las Vegas Golden Knights, Golden State Warriors, and the Cincinnati Reds. Is Kenna Blake... In Fast & Furious?" My heart sank a little bit, "Not yet, I would love to be a part of the franchise one day though,"

I tossed the board aside and took the next one, "What is Kenna Blake's... full name?" I took a moment, "My name is McKenna Blake Allen, but I go by McKenna Blake because it is my preference. What is Kenna Blake's... phone number? I wish I could share that with you, but sadly I can't. What was Kenna Blake's... first movie? It was the Scorch Trials, the second installment of the Maze Runner series. I played Serena, a teenager from a different maze that wound up stuck with the Gladers. What is Kenna Blake's... favorite color? My favorite color is probably an emerald green. What is Kenna Blake's... favorite season? My favorite season is easily Fall, football season and I just love the weather and the style of clothing, no not because of pumpkin spice. What type of music does Kenna Blake listen to? I listen to all music but if I had to pick I'd say Pop or Rap."

I tossed the board and took another, "Does Kenna Blake... drive? Yes, I can drive, I don't prefer to drive since I live in a large city but I have a car and I can drive. Does Kenna Blake... actually know karate? A little bit, I know what they've taught me but I don't think it would be that useful in a fight, not the way Mia fights at least," I said with a laugh. "Does Kenna Blake... have siblings? Yes, I have a younger sister. Did Kenna Blake... date Dylan O'Brien? No, I did not date Dylan, he was a great co-star but I would never have dated him because I don't date my co-stars."

I tossed the board again and grabbed the next one. "How tall is Kenna Blake? I am 5'5". How old is Kenna Blake? I am 24-years-old. How did Kenna Blake get famous? I was on an MTV series called Teen Wolf, I played a character named Blake and she was introduced in Season 5a, that was my first role ever and I am grateful to the cast and crew for kickstarting my career. How old was Kenna Blake in Teen Wolf? Speaking of Teen Wolf, I was 17 when I started Teen Wolf and for that reason, I was not to have any love interests in the show until I turned 18. So for those of you fans curious as to why Stiles and Blake didn't start dating until almost season 6, that is why. How come Kenna Blake isn't in more movies? I don't know," I laughed, "I have some pretty big projects coming up so maybe I will surprise you,"

I tossed the board and grabbed the last one. "Where is Kenna Blake from? I am from Firebaugh, California. Can Kenna Blake sing? No, at least, I don't think I can. Where did Kenna Blake go to college? I didn't I went straight into acting as soon as I graduated. Which actor is Kenna Blake's favorite to work with? Umm, I'd have to go with Mary Mouser just because she is my best friend and I've loved working with her for all of these years. Would Kenna Blake date a co-star? No, I've never once held romantic feelings for a co-star and even if I had, I still wouldn't date a co-star. Last one, Which Harry Potter house is Kenna Blake in?" I laughed, "I love Harry Potter, and I can say that I am a proud Slytherin, if they ever make more movies or anything, let me know, J.K. Rowling, I'll be in touch," I smiled and tossed the final board. "Thank you all for getting to know me a little better. I had such a great time,"

"You're all set, thanks for everything Kenna,"

"Yeah, thank you,"

I walked out and called Mary, "Hey, what's up?"

"I might have made a mistake,"

"Why what happened?"

"So, I had an interview where I had to answer Google's most searched questions and they asked about my full name, which I said was 'McKenna Blake Allen,' but then they asked about siblings and I said I have a younger sister."

"Oh shit, if anyone does any digging they'll see that it doesn't add up. What are you going to do?"

"I don't know, I think I need to talk to my sister,"

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea,"

"Okay, thanks for listening to my little rant," I said with a laugh.

"Anytime, be safe okay? Love you,"

"You too, love you too," I hung up and got back to the hotel. I looked at my phone and sighed before calling my sister.

"Hey Kenna!"

"Hey, M, I screwed up, I need your help,"

"What happened?" I explained what happened and she sighed, "Well, you can tell the truth, the whole truth, or you can wait to see if it even unfolds,"

"I know, I just don't know what to do. I want to tell the truth but I don't need my mother and father coming after me, but at the same time, I'm proud of you and Dad. I think I have to wait until next month, this month is far too emotional for me,"

"I understand, it's emotional for me too. Just keep your head up and try not to worry about it, okay?"

"Okay, thanks, M. I want to see you when I get back to LA,"

"I hope we can find time for something, ROWW has been really busy lately and I feel like I'm drowning,"

"Shit, I wish you would've told me that, I can help,"

"You're already so busy, I don't want to bother you more,"

"Oh stop, I can help. Okay?"

"Okay, thanks Kenna,"

"Of course, I'll let you know when I get back to LA and we can figure something out,"

"Okay, sounds good. Love you, sis,"

I smiled, "Love you too,"

The call ended and I had to get dinner made before my interview tonight.

~~~

I was wearing an emerald green dress and some Nike Air forces with it. I walked onto the stage and was greeted by the crowd, "Welcome, McKenna, it's great to have you here,"

"Thank you for having me, I'm so excited to be here!" I sat down and smiled.

"So tell me, you're a rising star in Hollywood, what's it like?"

"I'd say it's a dream come true. I'm so happy with how everything is going in my life right now and I couldn't be happier."

"That's great, so happy to hear that, what's it like working on Cobra Kai? I mean I'm a huge fan but is it tough? Do you do your own stunts?"

"It's a lot of fun, Jimmy. I'm happy to hear that you're a fan. It's great fun working with my co-stars. I wouldn't say it's hard, it's just a lot of work. And yes, I do my own stunts, I want it to be as realistic as possible and that means taking a kick to the stomach or a fake hit to the face and stumbling backwards. It is an honor to be a part of Cobra Kai and I've grown really fond of it. I was a huge fan of the Karate Kid movies when I was young so this is really cool for me to be a part of."

"Now, what about the whispers I've heard about Avatar 2? Can you tell me anything about that?"

I smiled, "Yes, I can tell you a few things. I am a part of the Avatar family, I am a character in this upcoming movie. It will come out next year. That's all I can tell you for now, unfortunately, but yes, Avatar 2 is on its way."

The crowd cheered and I smiled, "That's great news and I'm very excited for you."

"Thank you,"

"What about the next scream installment?"

I laughed faintly, "I will be making an appearance in Scream V, yes and there is a Scream VI on the way so I might be a part of that one too, you'll have to watch the 5th one to find out."

"That's so exciting. Can you tell me anything about your future or future projects?"

"Unfortunately everything that I've told you is all I can tell you as of right now. But if you have me back in a few months, I can definitely tell you more."

"Sounds like a plan! Any guys in mind because there are lots of rumors. Dylan O'Brien, Tanner Buchanan, Jamie Faltters, and even Jack Champion."

"Oh hell no," I laughed, "First of all, I don't date my co-stars, second of all, Jack is 17 so that is absolutely not happening, and thirdly I have never had feelings for any of my co-starts. It may seem like I had great chemistry with them but that's just because I am really close with my friends."

"I apologize for asking. Now tell me, you seem kind of like a ghost on social media, we don't know much about you or your past, is there a reason for that?"

My heart was in my throat, "Well, I am not quite ready to talk about my past because it is very complicated and messy. But I'm hoping to be able to tell you and the people everything in the next month or so."

Jimmy smiled faintly at me and noticed the tears in my eyes, "We'll be right back after this break!" It cut to camera and he handed me a tissue. "I'm sorry,"

"Thanks,"

~~~

The rest of the night went smoothly and I went back to my hotel, packed my stuff, and went to the airport. I FaceTimed Joey and was met with his enchanting smile, "Hey beautiful!"

"Hey, Joey. How's it going?"

"Good, how're you?"

"That's good, honestly, I've been better,"

"What's going on?"

"Let's just say my interviews didn't go as planned and I kind of screwed everything up."

"How could you screw everything up, Kenna?"

"Because I haven't even told you everything about myself yet. Only Mary knows everything and I kind of had some inconsistencies in my interview today."

"Hey, it'll be okay, and you don't have to tell me or anyone else until you're ready, okay?"

I smiled, "Okay, thank you for being so understanding. You're the best,"

"Anything for you darling,"

My smile stayed. "How was your day?"

"It was good, when are you going to be here? I miss you. Wait where are you?"

"I miss you too, I actually was going to surprise you but I may as well tell you. I'm at the airport and am supposed to board in like 20 minutes."

"To come to Cincy?" He asked with a smile.

I laughed lightly, "Where else would I be going?"

His smile grew, "That makes me so happy to hear, I can't wait to see you."

"I can't wait to see you either," The PA went off and my flight started boarding, "That's my plane, I'll talk to you soon, okay?"

"Okay, send me your flight number so I can find out when you'll land,"

"Sounds good, bye handsome,"

"Bye, beautiful!"

I hung up and gathered my bag, I got on the plane and settled in, there wasn't anybody on this flight which was to my relief since it had been a long day.

I napped on the way to Cincy and was relieved when I woke up just before I landed. It was late and the airport was empty but just outside of security stood my Joseph Lee with a giant smile on his face. He rushed over to me and embraced me, "Hi baby," I said with a smile.

"Hi Kenna," I smiled up at him and he set a quick kiss on my lips. He took my bags from me and led me through the parking ramp to his car. I yawned when I sat down and he just smiled at me, "Tired?"

"Yeah,"

"Well let's get you back so you can sleep,"

"I can't wait to get home, your bed is so comfy." I looked over at him and he had a sly smirk on his face. "What?"

"I love when you call it home, and if it's home then technically it's our bed,"

I laughed lightly, "Good point, so don't be mad when I take up our entire bed tonight."

He laughed, "Whatever you desire,"

I looked at him and smiled, I took his hand in mine and couldn't help but smile. "I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm grateful."

"As am I, my love,"

We pulled into the driveway and I couldn't help but smile again. I was home.

Joey opened my door and I ran inside and went straight to his-- our bedroom. That was a thought that gave me butterflies. Joe walked in a few moments later with my bags but I was already cozy on the bed. "What're you doing?"

"I'm getting comfy, join me,"

"In a moment, I've got to make sure everything is locked up, put some pajamas on, you'll be much more comfortable,"

"Okay," I said. As soon as he walked out I jumped out of bed and opened the closet door. I grabbed the softest t-shirt that was in there and switched it out for my shirt. I pulled my sweatpants off and was left in my spandex. I put my clothes in my backpack and then got back in bed just in time for him to walk back in.

He crossed his arms, "You're an LSU fan?" I nodded not knowing what he was talking about. "You are? Then you must remember the National Championship game from a few years ago,"

"Of course," I said into the pillow, I felt the bed sink slightly and his voice got closer.

"Do you remember the quarterback?"

"Hmm, let me guess," I said and turned over to face him, his face inches from mine, "Patrick Mahomes?"

Joe rolled his eyes and I smiled, "Very funny,"

"It was you, Joey,"

He nodded and kissed me gently, "You know, that shirt looks really good on you," He said in between kisses.

"Oh yeah? How good?"

"Incredibly good,"

I blushed and smiled, "Come here," I pulled Joey into a hug and laid him down with me, "I can't express how happy I am to be here with you, I've missed you so much,"

"I've missed you so much too," He set another kiss on my lips, I laid on top of Joey all night until I fell asleep, never feeling more secure or safe in my life.
