'...in one of her many drinking moods.'

Movie sets are boring, crowded and very loud. Everyone outside the film industry believes it to be magical in a way, when really it is nothing what the result is on screen. It's a lot of retakes and a huge amount of editing. Specially on a June afternoon, sitting outside for countless hours in the blaring sun.

When Clementine, Remi and Geneviéve went out a couple of nights ago they got absolute peppered. Well just Clemmie did whilst her friends were watching over her making sure she was okay. She told them all about the contracts and what she has to do over the next year or so, they said she should just go behind its back but Clementine wasn't that much of a rule breaker. Or was she?

Even though that was two days ago she was still somewhat hangover, her petite body taking time to recover from the night of endless drinking. She wasn't an alcoholic she just drank countless amounts whenever she was happy, stressed, exited, sad or angry. Which is most of the emotions she was living on.

Over the past few days she just sat in her best friends house, hiding away from the public and Cash. She didn't have any photoshoots over the weekend so she was free to sit in bed, binge watching the french tv show, The Bureau. From her couple day disappearance, her manager and Cash's wasn't very keen with her. So they made her come and support her Boyfriend on his last day shooting a big movie he would be staring in - which is apparently supposed to be a big deal.

Clementine Flynn had no intention to know what was happening nor what the movie was about because she knew she wasn't going to be watching anything starring Cash Lambert.

A couple of metres away people were practising their lines and Cash was filming one of his many scenes. She was surrounded by people talking in French. Even though it was like this everyday, it was getting to her head because over the past weekend her friends have been talking to her in english- with one of them being from Scotland and the other from Australia. We are all models and met when we originally all got put into the same house 8 years ago. But Clemmie moved out when she was three years into her and Cash's relationship. One of her worst decisions.

When they moved in together he was annoying, possessive and very directing. He would control whatever she did. Whenever she wanted to hang out with her mates she would have to ask in days advance. Even when he went out with his friends leaving her on her own she wasn't allowed to go out or have the girls over because he was overprotective.

And I'm like

Baby, baby, baby oooh

Like baby, baby, baby nooo

The chorus of Justin Bieber's Baby, blared from the bottom of Clementines beige tote bag, making her hangover headache a bit worse. She quickly dug through her belongings to reach her phone, whilst getting many stares from people around her.

"Sorry, so sorry, sorry." She whispered trying to sound sincere as she pressed the green button and brung it to her ear not recognising the number.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Clementine Flynn?" A male voice she didn't recognised spoke into her ear through her phone.

"This is she speaking. Um who is this I am talking to?" She was confused because many people who wanted to ask about sponsoring or about jobs would contact her agency or once in a while email her. Even though she was model, she didn't have that many friends, she felt like it was hard to let people into her life.

"Oh, oh this is Tobi." From the sound of her not speaking up, Tobi realised it didn't ring any bells for the girl. "With the Sidemen. Your new neighbours?"

Clemmie felt so stupid, "I'm so sorry, I was meant to call or reply to you but I have been a bit... busy over the weekend, oh nelly, i'm sorry." She heard Tobi chuckle at the sound of her saying 'Oh nelly'.

"It's completely fine, We all understand by being too busy." He laughed down the phone trying to make the situation sound more light hearted.

"So, not being rude, but what did you-"

"Oh yes, we were wondering if you were needing any help moving in when you came. We just trying to help you settle in nicely and become friends."

"Thank you that is very considerate, I'll make sure to knock if I need any help but thank you so much." Clementine felt a massive weight of her shoulders fall off knowing that at least one of the boys in the house next to her was welcoming.

"Yeah, we are the house on the lef- The end of his sentence was cut of by Cash calling Clementine over speaking in French and being very controlling like she thought about earlier. "-road."

"Thank you so much again, and I'll see you in a couple of days, Tobi."

"See you soon Clementine."

"Ah, please call me Clemmie."

Tobi chuckled once again, "Goodbye Clemmie."

"Au revoir." The phone beeped, indicating the end of the call.

As she put down her phone on the glass side table, her eyes landed on a frustrated Cash still trying to call her over whilst getting finishing touches on his movie makeup. Clementine jumped down from the high black cast chairs - Cash's screen name in gold italic - after picking up her phone and bag.

Whilst she made her way towards the dissatisfied looking boy, she pulled down her pink pleated shorts that hiked up whilst she was seating down. As she now was in the direct sunlight and not under the blue gazebo anymore, she second guessed herself again for the hundredth time for wearing an oversized jumper nearing the end of June.

"Bonjour babe"

"Hello bubs." As she spoke her voice cracked as she used a pet name towards her ex boyfriend.

Cash brought Clemmie into a hug, whilst being in the hug she rolled her eyes hoping nobody saw her action. "We gonna be here for a couple more hours because we can't get this certain scene down, so I was thinking that you should go home and pack for London." He spoke bringing her out of the hug.

Clementine didn't want to hear anything better than what was coming out of his mouth that second, "Yes thank you, I am scorching in this sun and I need to pack for tomorrow."

"We can spend the night together, before you go off." She obviously hoped that wasn't true but had to go along with it because they were in public.

"Yeah yeah see you soon." She ran off excitedly, maybe a bit too excited from other people's perspectives but she just wanted to be happy for this once without worrying about contracts and rules to follow.

This morning she persuaded Mr Alexander that Cash didn't have to come down with her to London to settle in. When she won over the CEO she was happy that she could have at least a week without a mention of Cash. She asked Remi to come down with her, Remi said yes but she would have to go in two days because she had to get back for a photoshoot with her boyfriend.

When she got home she poured herself a glass of expensive Whiskey from Scotland. Due to the fact she was in one of her many drinking moods. But would probably regret that idea, because of the flight she has tomorrow morning.
