Where Claribel Scobell can't help but fall for her Co-Star and very best Friend, but it's obviously not that easy... love never is
"I love the stars, they remind me that there is still a little peace out there"-c.s.
"I love the sun, it always shines...
"Tell me something about that dinner" I say, he looks confused for a second before talking
"Oh that dinner yeah, we do that once in a while, my whole family comes together, mostly the women and like children and it's a mess most of the time" he starts explaining "but like for the past few weeks my aunt has been going on and on about this daughter of her friend who's so smart and kind and so good in school and so perfect, I don't know who she is. Like I genuinely don't know her name, her age, what she looks like I have no clue"
"Well why don't you just give it a chance"
"Cause I'd like to not be set up by my aunt and also I believe in finding love the normal way, you know hanging out actually getting to know each other without any expectations"
"Don't picture too much man loves disappointing" I say looking down at my hands "but yeah I get that"
Aryans view:
"Don't picture too much man loves disappointing" Belle says, she looks down at her hands and it breaks my heart to see her that way, she hides it well but I know she's in a lot of pain "but yeah I get that"
"It doesn't have to be" I say and she looks back up at me "I mean look at your parents they're still happy and in love"
"Yeah I guess"
"Anyways back to the dinner. It's just a whole lot of talking, everyone's really nice but beware of auntie Anaisha she's the one trying to set me up, she's not going to like you"
"Great Aryan thanks" she rolls her eyes at me jokingly
"I'm sure Everyone else will love you though" how couldn't they love her, how could anyone who knows Belle not love her
"So we should probably think of a backstory huh ?"
"Yeah I guess" she yawned again "alright so we met while filming and got along like really good"
"Yeah that's realistic"
"And then I realised that I started liking you first"
"And then I realised I liked you too eventually, amazing this like a he fell first she fell harder trope or what ?" my heart skips a few beats hearing her talk like that "oh or can we do like he fell first and harder that seems cooler" I so did fall first
"Sure, so- Belle please just lay down if you yawn one more time I'm gonna fall asleep"
"But I don't want to sleep"
"Look I'm here alright, whatever happens I'm here, nightmare ? I'm here. I will wake you, I will splash water on your face, I will do whatever you need but please try and get some sleep" she didn't argue any more and just laid down on my bed
"Are you not gonna lay down ?" I looked at her for a second before lying down on the other end looking at her "so you were saying ?"
"We should set an anniversary"
"I'll count and you'll say stop alright ?"
"Okay" she started counting until I said the first stop
"11, alright now the months" I waited a bit before saying stop again "October, great October 11th it is" her eyes close and I could see how hard she's trying not to sleep, I scoot a little closer to her and lay my hand on her arm
"October 11th it is" I repeat silently as I watch her fight sleep, she lost that fight though cause her eyes finally fall close
I watch her for a bit to make sure she doesn't wake up from any nightmares, I tuck a piece of hair behind her ear and then fall asleep next to her
I wake up to loud knocking on my door and groan in annoyance
"Aryan"
"What do you want"
"Dude we're leaving in an hour don't tell me you're still sleeping" Walkers voice came from behind the door I opened my eyes and they rushed beside me to check if Belle was still there, she wasn't. She must've left when I was asleep
I grabbed my phone and opened her chat

Belles view:
I felt so comfortable around Aryan, it terrified me because I couldn't explain this to myself
I thought about the dinner with his family, I had to pretend that I am his girlfriend, that's what I did all these months in front of a camera but then why did this feel so much different
Why couldn't I stop my heart from skipping a beat when thinking about that, I mean it's probably just the nerves... right ?
I thought about last night, the way he cared for me, Jason hadn't been so thoughtful and comforting for months before we broke up and I realised I had no actual idea when the thing between Valeria and him started
How long had I lived in a lie and not noticed ? How long have I been making excuses for him up ? How long had my best friend looked me in the eyes knowing how much she had betrayed me ? How long had Jason kissed me knowing that the same lips kissed my best friend ?
My head was spinning like crazy trying to wrap itself around all these questions at once
I put my phone down and pulled out a pair of pants, and a pink, tight long sleeve, I put a few pieces of my hair back and secured it with a pink bow
Today was the watch party and I was really excited for it, I heard that the watch party was going to be amazing
Authors note: Going crazy after your boyfriend cheated is so real :D
