•Chapter 1•

•Y/n's POV•
I shift around as I begin to wake up, I turn to my side which was the perfect angle for the sun to hit my face. I squint my eyes a little as it was still bright even with my eyes closed, I lay on my back away from the sun and open my eyes, staring straight up at the ceiling. I look to my side where my boyfriend usually lays beside me, but once again..

he wasn't there. I sigh and sit up, rubbing my eyes. This is the third time I've woken up without him by my side this week. You see, my boyfriend is in a band, and he works in the studio 24/7. I understand that this is his career and his dream, so I don't really complain about it to him.

Though I do miss him, very much. I've also noticed that when he is here, he seems distant and doesn't want to do a lot of the things that we used to do.. the last time we went on a date was about a month ago, although I wish we could be more active and do things together again, I won't complain about it because I understand he has to work.

I myself get pretty busy sometimes, I'm a model and I have the same manager as Zach's band. His name is David, and to be honest, he can be really rough on all of us. I started this job just a year ago, and he took me in to be my manager.. but now I sort of wish I would've waited for someone else.

But don't get me wrong, I love being a model. This is my dream job and I'm finally able to do what I wanna do. Now, a little about me.. I'm 19 and I grew up in (your state). I met Zach two years ago and we began dating last year, he's currently 19 as well. I have three best friends, Kaylee, Chloe, and Layla. I met them through the model industry, but I met Layla through the music industry.

The year is 2020 and there's been a lot going on, not good things either. But I don't like to think about the negative, I try to stay positive and make others around me think more positively. I like to encourage others to love who they are as well, that's why I became a model. To hopefully inspire other young women and encourage them to love themselves more! But enough babbling

I throw the sheets off of me and get out of bed, I walk to my bathroom and stand at the sink, looking at myself before I wash my face and brush my teeth. Once I finish with that, I get dressed and do my makeup and hair. As I was putting my earrings in, I hear my phone ding as I got a text. I grab it and see that it was from Kaylee.

I smile and put my phone down, I finish touching some things up a bit, then I begin to take pictures. As a model, it is a requirement to post pictures on the days you're not at the studio. But unfortunately, ever since quarantine had happened, no one has been able to go to work, so this is what I do as of right now.

A few minutes go by and I hear a knock at my door, I walk out of my room and to my door, I open it to see Kaylee.

Ka: "Hey girlie!"

She said as she wrapped her arms around me, giving me the biggest hug.

Y/n: "Heyy!"

I hugged her back with a big smile, I just love her energy. We then pull away and I let her come in, closing the door behind her. She looks around as she walks in.

Ka: "Wow, you really made this place look like home".

Y/n: "You like it?"

Ka: "Yes! I've never seen a more homey apartment."

She said with a chuckle, I giggled.

Y/n: "Well, thank you."

Ka: "You're welcome, now, are you ready to take pictures?"

Y/n: "Yep!"

We then decided to go outside and take pictures beside a flower bush, Kaylee took my pictures and I took hers. Here was the one I decided to post.

It of course didn't take long for people to like and comment, especially in this industry, wether people love you or not.

Kaylee and I decided to go to the Starbucks down the road from my complex because we were getting hungry and it was now lunch time. We get there and order, then we sit down with our food and drinks. Kaylee then decided to strike up conversation.

Ka: "So, it's been a good minute since we've hung out.. how are you and Zach?"

Y/n: "We're alright."

I said taking a sip from my drink, her eyebrows furrow.

Ka: "Just alright?"

I nod.

Ka: "Did something happen?"

Y/n: "No.. it's just that we haven't been able to spend as much time together than we used to."

Ka: "Oh.."

I nod, looking down at my drink.

Ka: "Well, maybe once they get this album finished, you'll be able to spend time with him."

I smile.

Y/n: "Yeah."

Then it went silent, I stared at the table as I began to wonder.. even when Zach and I are together and we're not working, he's still distant... but maybe she's right, maybe he'll be more open once everything is finished.. hopefully..
