Where am I? I look around and see nothing.

"Hello?" I shout in the nothingness. Suddenly, I see a figure from the distance running towards me. It's a guy. He's screaming some words that I couldn't understand.  

As he gets closer, I can understand his words. And I know those words very well. "Hey, don't cry love. Everything happens for a reason. You'll thank you father for this one day. Just don't ever give up. Your situation will get better..everything does."  

Yes! He's coming closer. I've always wanted to see that guy that gave me hope cause I've never thanked him nor seen his face.  

I owe almost everything to that guy. If it weren't for his words, I would've succumbed to giving up. I could almost see his face until..

*ring* *ring*   Ugh, it was a dream. But I swear I was this close to seeing his face. I check my phone to see who's calling at 5:30 in the morning. Oh, it's Charlene.

"Belle? Where are you? I told you to be on set early!" Omg! I almost forgot! The shooting was today!  

"I'll be right there!" I shout on the phone and hang up. I take a quick shower and throw on my batman hoodie and some light colored skinny jeans.  (A/N: Picture of Belle's outfit on the side) I put on my black pair of Toms and contact my driver to pick me up. I arrive on set at 6:15 am to see boredom and impatience etched on everyone's faces. Well this is awkward.  At least our set today is at the beach.

"Sorry I'm late." I say awkwardly.  

"You'd better be!" Charlene says whilst dragging me to the make-up trailer slash my dressing room. Some proffessionals do my make up.  

"Hi." A girl with white-ish blonde hair carrying an adorable little baby entered from the door once the make-up artists were done.

"I'm Lou. Lou Teasdale." She extends her hand for me to shake and I take it.  

"Belle." I reply proudly and politely.  

"Be!" the baby attempts to repeat after me. I giggle.  

"And this is Lux." she says motioning to the baby she's carrying.  

"Hello there baby Lux." I coo.  

"I'm the stylist of the boys but today, I'll also be your stylist." she explains.  

"That's great." I say.  

"So let's get started on your hair and then your clothes, yeah?" She says and I nod. While Lou was fixing my hair, a knock modulated from the door.  

"Come in!" Lou says. As the door opens, another Lou shows up. But this time, it's a Tomlinson. And this time, he's not carrying a baby but a stack of black shirts.  

"Hi." Louis says as he enters.  

"Louis is that you?" Lou asks, not taking her eyes and hands off my brown hair.  

"Sure is! Louis William Tomlinson, 50% Sass 50% Ass." he proudly states causing me to giggle.  

"Is there anything I can help you with, Louis?" Lou asks him, finally pausing on fixing my hair.  

"No actually I just wanted to give these to Belle." he says handing me the stack of shirts. I take the shirts from his hands.  

"Oh, uhm thanks." Hmm, I couldn't really see what was on the shirts since they were folded.  

"OkaythanksLoubye." Louis says in one breath and quickly goes out. I don't bother to look at the shirts since Lou had to work on finishing my hair. Once she has finished, she led me to the dressing room where in there was a black bikini top and high waisted tribal print short shorts.

"Wear these and then go outside so that the director can tell you what to do." Lou explains. I nod and she exits my dressing room. 

Sigh. I check out the shirts Louis gave to me a while ago. I unfold one and a note falls from the shirt. I pick up the note and read it:

Hi Belle!

We're really happy to be working with you. Take these shirts (and wear them) as a token of our friendship ;) x

One Direction

They are such sweet boys. I look at the shirt I just unfolded on top of four other shirts. It has Louis' face on it and his signature. I let out a chuckle. I won't wear those. I look at the other shirts and see that the other boys' faces are also printed on the other shirts.

I quickly dress up since I don't want to cause more delay as I already have. Once I go outside, the cameras, lights, and everything else were set up.

Being a celebrity is hard and tiring; shootings early in the morning, paparazzis everywhere you go, shootings late at night, no permanent sleeping schedule, etc. I'm not complaining though, but I could've been a doctor if I finished my studies. But instead I used the money to achieve all of these. This is the path I chose.

"Okay Belle, this is scene 3 where you will meet Niall for the first time. You've read you script I suppose?" the director says expectantly.

"Of course." I sigh silently.  I notice Niall, along with the other boys are topless and are only wearing board shorts and shades. Wow, they actually look kind of hot. Niall is already on set and the four boys are watching. Great. 

"Great! Okay, Niall and Belle, on set now!" he commands. "Scene 3, Niall and Belle, beach, ACTION!" he screams as he uses his clapboard. 

This is going to be a long day.

*TWO HOURS LATER*

Finally, the director let us take a break. I head to my dressing room and check my twitter on my iPhone. Woah! #1DonThatSummer #LouisandBelle #NiallandBelle #ThatSummer are trending. Fans are really cool. Because of that, I decide to read my Mentions and, maybe, reply to some fans.

@eLOUISe1D: Omg I hope @bellekingx gets paired up with @Louis_Tomlinson !!!! #LouisandBelle

@zoeystylesmalik6969: I ship Louelle!!!! @bellekingx @Louis_Tomlinson #LouisandBelle

@_xxphenomeniall: I don't know about you guys, but I ship Louelle. @bellekingx @Louis_Tomlinson #LouisandBelle #LouisandBelle #LouisandBelle #LouisandBelle

@maryberrypayne: THE Tommo + THE Belle King = perfect xx ;D #LouisandBelle ~ @Louis_Tomlinson & @bellekingx ^_^

Most of the tweets were about One Direction being on the show. Charlene was right, this is good publicity. But I don't get why they 'ship' me with Louis. Hmm, what if I ask my fans?

@bellekingx: Louelle? aha i don't get it. Enlighten me please x

My phone goes off as a sign that my twitter has received a lot of Mentions. I decide to check 'em out. As expected, they answer my question.

@1Dyousunkmybattleship: @bellekingx DUH! you two look good together ;)~ fall in love w/ each other pls? 

Just to be clear, I have no interest nor any time for this "falling in love" thing. No, I'm not bitter over someone who broke my heart a few weeks ago or those kind of cliche things that make people bitter. It's just that ever since I was kicked out, I've learned that being independent makes me a better person. Independence is something you could never take away from me. And I plan on keeping it that way.

I decide that I need some fresh air, and since we're still on the beach, going outside means getting what I need. As I get nearer to the door, I hear voices from outside but the voices are near my door. It sounds like the boys.

"I'LL ask her!" Niall's voice said.

"No, I'll do it. DJ Malik is smooth with 'em ladies." Zayn says and I smile. He's such a goofy guy.

"Let the swag master from Doncaster do it." Louis says. Oh, he's also from Doncaster?

"Lads, have you not heard? The curls get the girls." Harry states. I open the door to see the four of them standing by my door.

"You boys need anything?" I ask politely.
