Sam: Deal. I will sing you some kind of song if you get it right. It'd take too long to write my own on the spot but count your cards right, and I just might write one for you. I'm just concerned for your safety mate, don't text and drive. We can talk about all this in person when you get here. Its a big fair and I doubt we'll run out of things to talk about but if you don't leave now, it'll be over before you even get here.

Chris: yeah man that's good to know, good to know our vibes are on the same page and all. Good because I don't and havent done that to any friends. No the guys I came up with in Hollywood I am still close too. From Troian's husband to Zach I can't imagine letting any of them go and so you have nothing to worry about. Yup I insist. Well keep your super secret song but if I get your food right you have to share it with me. Fine.

You were just too late in reciprocating my love for you, Ackles. We could have been good together and I waited for you to put a ring on my finger and I got lonely so I moved on. But of course, it didn't last because my heart just can't love anyone but you. There's no one better than you, you know that. Its over, finite, I learned my lesson. There is no need to slash tires or key their car, it was a mutual decision because it was pretty much over the minute I went back to work. Distance is a bitch mate, and at this point, the only love of my life is my work. Oh yeah? Enough flutters to forgive my stupidity and love me again?

i see, so i broke things off with you after you offered kisses but the decided someone was better than me. do you see how this makes me breaking off things make sense? 'cause i won't be second best, Samuel. it's either me or you can kick rocks. sorry not sorry. i'm sorry about your relationship ending, though. want to key their car? slash their tires? we can ask Carrie, she knows all about how to make someone regret not wanting us. did you just call me your boo? i felt flutters.

Sam: It really does. Just like there are love soulmates, I firmly believe that there is a soulmate out there for friends and this might be a bit premature but I'm kind of feeling these good vibes with us haha. Well it wouldn't be the first time for me so I sort of tell myself that history could repeat itself. Its hard to have friends or a relationship when distance is a huge factor but if you're confident ours can last, then so do I. Well, I haven't written it yet, duh! That's for me to know and you to maybe find out one day. Stop texting me and get out here before I buy everything.

Chris: Yeah something about it just seems so kismet doesnt it? Keep saying that to myself over and over. Oh so this friendship might end on the account of me and my schedule? Yeah that's not gonna happen. Though I do want to hear this song. I cant help it you put it out there I just wonder what is in it. My locks of blonde or my beautiful skin. Yeah we will do that. Same exact thing in the end and all.

I am not ashamed to admit that I did but not for the reasons you think. I would have gladly paid the ticket but she was a fan and had a daughter who loved Finnick and wanted photo proof that she had met me so me being the gentleman that I am, obliged her and even called her on Facetime. So I made her day and got out of a ticket.

Wait before I answer this, did you do it? I need to know this before I can proceed with my little oddball story.

Sam: I've been feeling lucky since the day you swiped right and our budding friendship started. I'd be crazy to not take advantage of your time while I can have it. Given your career, I have a feeling you're going to be busy soon so I want to spend as much time with you that I can before I become Billy Dunne again and write a song about missing you. Um, that might be a little accurate though... I'll pass on the spitting because that's unsanitary but I will definitely shake your hand when you get here.

Chris: Well count yourself lucky I have been known to rattle off random facts about myself. And I don't know if you have notice but my growing dictionary on you hasnt suffered for it. Yeah also think you are hell to get out of a tourist trap. This friendship is going to be over? Deal then, you want to spit in my hand and seal the deal?

“Hmm, you say that now but I give it 10 minutes before you’d be calling me back stating how much you miss me babes.” He teased, his nose wrinkling. He wasn’t sure what was going on when she grabbed his phone but once he saw what she had planned, he nodded, offering her a warm smile. It had been too long since they’d just talked and the last time they had, they had fought. Over something silly and stupid, something Sam had chosen to bury deep because it didn’t matter. His friendship with Lucy mattered more to him than the inner turmoil and crisis he fought on a daily basis. He owed it to her to ignore everything else and just be her friend. He had missed that, missed poking fun at her, missed making her laugh. The last few times they’d spoken had been things left unfinished after their breakup and it was things Sam didn’t want to talk about. She was his best friend, he knew she loved him and what he was dealing with was normal in her eyes but for him, he just… he couldn’t. He wasn’t ready to accept that his entire world was going to change, even if she claimed that it wouldn’t. Once you claim to be something different, everyone’s outlook changes. It was part of being human and he wasn’t ready for his entire world to change. Wasn’t prepared to lose family and friends over this. If he had to pretend it didn’t exist at all, then that is what he had to do. Ignoring it completely was the best for everyone. “Why is that? Why can I eat an entire Chinese menu and still be hungry but I eat one burger and fries and I feel like I’m going to be sick. What are they doing to us?!” He smirked, taking another bite of his food. “Hey! I don’t do that! Speak for yourself.” Sam teased, sticking his own tongue out of her. “Don’t make me start rambling about connections and all that bullshit.” He stated, before nodding his head. “He is still 100% committed to you, although, you might have some competition with a girl from his class. He mentions her a lot so I think he needs to be reminded you’re his girl.” The Brit smiled over at her. “She doesn’t really say much about her other classes but she like coloring and napping.”

her lips pursed as she watched him get excited over her laughter - over a dad joke of all things. Sam was a total weirdo but she loved him. "one of these days i'm going to disown you," she muttered to herself but loud enough for him to hear her. she reached over and grabbed his phone, putting it away to the side so that she could have all his attention. "it comes with best friend status, obviously. otherwise why would i ever choose it?" she scoffed at him but grinned when he bumped into her, another soft laugh coming from her. "just two hours? more like thirty minutes in my case. i love me some chinese but it's never filling, so i don't do that to myself" green eyes peered at him for a moment before she shrugged her shoulders and lifted up a bite of few, nibbling on it slowly. Lucy knew exactly what he meant by what he was saying, it felt like every time that she tried to work out a relationship lately, they fell apart. sometimes work was the reason, sometimes she was. it was as if there was a funny joke put on her when it came to finding someone to stay. not that she was all that upset about it, the girl was okay with being on her own. she had her friends, her fur kids and her work. that was all she needed, right? right. "meh, i'm waiting to hear you tell me about someone new within the next few months." her tongue poked out playfully at him before letting out a huff of a laugh when he told her about the kids. "is Pip still my lil boyfriend or has someone else become his girlfriend now? actually, i don't think i wanna know. my heart would probably break. awe, Margot is such a sweetheart! does she have a favorite subject? or thing to do while at school?" hearing daddy Sam talk about his children always gave Lucy a pang in her chest, he was such a wonderful father to them.

I can respect that; we can't have you getting in trouble for telling anyone. Your parents really had no idea you were even thinking of writing a book? That's a pretty big secret to keep, I don't know how you did it. I would have spilled the tea to anyone who would listen. Hmm, yes it does. Plus that face is kind of hard to stay mad at. I bet that came in handy for you growing up. You're the only bloke I know who would have a 5 page resume. Seriously though, congratulations mate, I'm proud of, and happy for you! I can't wait to read it.

Well maybe because my publisher told me I couldn't tell anyone. I know that sounds like a lie but even mom, dad and Katherine didn't know. And they had a reaction much like yours. I can say sorry and that I wanted to tell you? Does that make it up? Well let's be accurate I have to squeeze child's book author in there. You can compliment me as you know now, but Ill throw it back and say I got good people around me even better.

Sam: I feel like I know enough to answer a Jeopardy category about you but still not enough to really get my fill. You're quite the character Pine and I look forward to finding out everything I can before our friendship is over. Well I mean, as a lover of the weird and strange, I couldn't not come today to check it out. If there's an eyecatching roadside attraction I haven't seen, I'm stopping. Oh really? You think you can pick out this British bloke's favorite American foods? I accept this challenge.

Chris: Color me still impressed by the level you got to know me. I also am lucky enough you let me in to know this is probably the type of place you stopped by on the side of the road as soon as you saw it. Let me return the favor let me pick out the food I think I know you will love, Oh yes I have had plenty of time studying your drink and meal preferences, dont ask when it just happened naturally.

I know the feeling. When my two kiddos were born, it was the best thing that happened in my life, hell, it still is the best thing. Give me all the roles, the nominations, the fame, and it pales in comparison to seeing their faces everyday. I haven't really done much work where I feel comfortable bringing them to work with me but their mum and I just finished voice work for an animated film and they got to come sit with us during that and they loved it. I feel like my daughter is either going to have a career in film because she's quite the diva already. I will gladly take the blame when it comes to book recommendations.

it's only the best thing to ever happen to me. gives me that baby fix without having to be an actual parent, you know? ah, that makes sense. do they ever get to visit you on set or do you try to keep them away from such settings? sounds like it has a little bit of everything so i'll make a note to check it out one day. gonna blame you if i become obsessed though.

Sam: To be honest, I did yeah. I've yet to meet anyone who has the same eclectic taste as me and since I've been in your house and seen the kind of decor you have, this place screams your name. What? That's a huge honor I don't know I deserve. I'll be waiting. Trust me, you won't be disappointed and I'm fairly certain you'll find stuff you didn't even know you were looking for.

Chris: Do you think of me when you go places like this? No I am deeply honored. No disrespect to my friends but pretty sure they just got behind you in my life. I have been meaning to look for a nice ottoman. Im already in the car man.

Let me know if you do because I'm curious to know what you think of them now so many years later. My mum watched them again recently and she called me at 2am to discuss things that she never noticed before, or things that she didn't understand before but does now. Bless her heart, I love my mum, but not at 2am! I'm a cranky Sam if I don't get all my sleep. He does survive and moves to District 2 to work for the new government because he pretty much realized that getting the sister of the woman you love killed negates all the good you've done. My boy Finnick was the heart of the team, fight me on it, I dare you. Fresh hot bread is my weakness, doesn't matter waht kind. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

i actually forgot about the whipping scene. christ, i really need to go back and watch the movies again. liam was brilliant but it's hard to like a character that felt like filler more than anything else. did he survive in the end? i can't remember. finnick had a complex background and actually contributed to the plot though. cheese bread is at the top of the list for me but i'll have to agree that any bread will do. sounds like i'd be the only one in the audience, which works for me.

Sam: So I'm at this festival here in Pasadena and they have some of the coolest furniture and crafts and everything I see screams your name so if you're not busy, come join me and I guarantee you'll find something to help feng shu your home. And don't even get me started on the food.

i'm just like a sour patch kid. i'm sour and then i'm sweet and then i'm gone. when i start to treat you like gold that is just about the time that i begin planning the quickest route to the exit. i'm not out here to find love honestly. the only reason i checked that box is because my friends say i need to get out more and that i should maybe go on a date. so i'm going to take their advice and go on a date. singular. we'll see how well that goes.

two truths and a lie:

i own a horse.

i know three languages.

i hate the smell of grass.

It doesn’t bother me as much now as it did when I was first starting out. My first major role was in Pirates and then I went straight to the Hunger Games, which is where a lot of the negativity started. I was so excited when I got the role of Finnick because he was my favorite in the books but I heard a lot of people saying that I was too old to play him, or I didn’t look like him and that as an unknown actor, I didn’t have the skillset to play him and despite your best efforts, you start to believe and doubt your own abilities as a result. I don’t like watching myself because I’m  the worst critic and there’s all these ‘well maybe if I had done it this’ or ‘you shouldn’t have done that’ and it stops being enjoyable. So, instead of hating all my projects and living in a constant state of self deprecation, I choose not to watch my own stuff and instead, point my self deprecation towards something I can control and fix. I love every project I’ve done and I’ve connected to every character I’ve played and if at least one person out there liked my version of their favorite, then I consider that a reward greater than anything. Still, an Oscar one day would be nice too. Oh I enjoy a good romance as well as the next person so I might just have to give it a read once I’m done with my current series. We might have to self fund the project ourselves but I can see it being highly successful.

I know exactly what you mean. It's hard when you're so proud of something and all the work you put into it and then it isn't received well. Been there, done that, lived it on a majority of projects that I've done. But you got that right, you take it and you improve and you put that best foot forward on what you have planned next. Life's not about the awards, people aren't going to remember the awards at the end of the day when you're long gone. It's about how you make people feel on- and off-screen. Way more important to be a decent human being in my books. It's a super great read, it's very 1950s old Hollywood with a little sprinkle of a sapphic romance, I cried like a little baby at the end of it. Not sure if it would be your thing, but if it is, I highly recommend it (or at least bid you to watch the adaptation Netflix is working on whenever it gets made). Ooh, you have me excited. My lips are sealed, absolutely did not hear anything from you but am grinning ear to ear about it. Go you!

Out of the numerous conversations we've had now, how did the fact that you've written a whole arse children's book never come up? I feel like that was something you could have told me from Day 1 of this friendship. Where are you going to squeeze the word author onto your resume mate? Way to make the rest of us look lazy, Pine @famepine
