"When and how did you find this" Aryan asked, I took my last sip of the cocoa first before laying down next to him looking at the stars
"Olivea and I couldn't sleep one night so we decided to walk around a bit"
"On your own? At night ? That's like really dangerous you know what if a murderer was walking around"
"Oh we were scared as shit but whatever" I grinned turning my head to look at him
"So what were you writing ?" He also turned his head so we were just looking at each other now
"You won't tell ?"
"Never"
"Not even Walker" he held out his pinky for me
"Pinky promise" I grinned intertwining my pinky with his not letting go as we just lay our hands between us like that. I looked at the stars for a second before turning back and licking my lip
"I write these, these lyrics I guess when I'm feeling too much to just let go of it" he looked at me with wide eyes
"Well now I need to hear something"
"No because that's top secret"
"Ugh come on" I narrowed my eyes on him and just looked at him for a bit
"Alright I'll tell you what, next time when you're over at home I will sing something I wrote, I don't have my guitar now and I really need to pick carefully" I grin, he grins back seeming to like that
"That sounds great" we lay there in comfortable silence for a while before starting some casual small talk, talking about things while filming and what we were looking forward to
I felt a shiver run down my spine as the cold January wind hit me feeling the fresh air on my arms since I hadn't bothered putting anything on top of my pyjamas when coming up here
"I love the stars" I whisper into the dark "Starlight makes everything so perfect"
"I don't know I personally like the sun more, it makes everything shine brighter"
"But the sun burns anything that gets too close to it"
"Maybe it's just trying to protect itself" His words made me think a lot, I looked at him, then at the sky, then back at him and back at the sky again processing his words as we fell into a comfortable silence again
"Will things change a lot? After the show comes out I mean"
"Belle-"
"Please just the whole truth"
"Yeah" I nodded "but not necessarily to the worse" he sat up making me just blankly stare at him as he took off his hoodie and held it out for me "didn't think I'd notice you shivering ?"
"I don't need it, you'll get cold"
"Take it I won't be cold"
"But I don't want you to get sick"
"I won't" I felt another harsh wind hit me and took the hoodie pulling it on
"Thanks"
-✨-"Aww you look so cute" Dior smiled
"Huh?"
"On Aryans post" I closed my book and grabbed my phone opening instagram immediately the picture popping up on my phone making me smile a bit
I opened the comments and started typing If I'm Sunshine then you're Starlight 🌟 I hit send and watched the comment get posted, then liking the picture
"Hey Belle is there like anything going on between you and Aryan" my head shot up from my phone looking right at Leah
"What"
"Is there?" Dior also frowned now
"No !" I felt my face heat up but not because I liked Aryan in that way but because the whole situation was really strange "Why would you even think that"
"Well because of the way you just smiled at your phone for one then Aryan leaving the café because he had to get you a hot cocoa and a cookie for two" Leah started listing
"You're basically attached to the hip, he's always hanging out here and you're wearing his hoodie right now" Dior continued
"Well he's my best friend there's really nothing going on between us and no one besides you would think that"
"Look at the comments bells" I opened the phone again still being on the comment section of the post, I scrolled down a bit reading a few here and there
They're so cute together
I ship them so hard
If they don't end up together I won't believe in love anymore
Who is she anyways and why is she with Aryan so much
I'm the #1 Claryan fan
A strange feeling formed inside my stomach seeing all this, I kept scrolling and saw a lot more than people shipping Aryan and me
Who is she anyways and why is she with Aryan so much
She's so overrated
She took the job from someone with actual talent just because Walker is her brother
Can't believe they're actually hanging out with her
> Porbably just pityI decided to not let that get to me now though, not with Dior and Leah watching me like a hawk
"This is crazy, there's really nothing going on between us"
"So you don't like him like that?" Leah asked
"No I really don't and I never would" I joked putting a smile on trying so hard to push that feeling down
The following days to that happening I shut down and distanced myself from everyone, just enough to not make people say all that anymore but also for no one to actually notice much
I knew that I was going to get hate, it's standard for everyone who's in the public eye, especially women. They find anything to make women's lives miserable. But I just wasn't expecting to have to deal with that yet, I thought I had at least until the show came out
