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...
"You have been awfully quiet here" Charlie said sitting down next to me, I took a sip out of my iced tea shrugging
"Have I ?"
"Yes, are you alright"
"Yeah, whatever" I hadn't looked up at him yet, my gaze remaining on my drink
"Hey, what's up ? Talk to me"
"I'm fine"
"You're obviously not, stop saying that" I looked over at Aryan and Walker playing table tennis and Dior and Leah looking at something on Diors phone
"I don't know, I feel weirdly out of place" I muttered shaking my head and looking back at my drink
"What do you mean ?"
"I don't know" I sighed looking up at Charlie "it's fine though, don't worry"
"You always say that and yet I'm always worried"
"It's probably because you're old, old people always worry too much" Charlie looked at me with a straight face
"Now what does that mean ?"
"Didn't I just say it ? It means you're old"
"I am not old"
"Dude you are 20, your age starts with a 2 you're really old"
"You're just really young, you're not even 16"
"You're just jealous of my youth"
"Yeah sure" he flicked my forehead shaking his head with a smile, i pushed his hand away and took my phone out seeing that Grace sent me an Insta post
Am I tripping or is that Aryan ?
I frowned a little opening the post which lead to my smile immediately dropping
Now it wasn't a good angle and you could barely see his face but after we had dated for months I could recognise him anywhere, and the caption didn't make me believe I was wrong

I felt my heart drop as I just stared onto my screen, I couldn't possibly be mad about this, this is the best thing that could've happened to me, this meant Aryan was happy, that's what I wanted. But then why does it hurt so much ?
I looked up at Aryan who was laughing with Walker and I could felt my heart aching
I stood up and just walked outside to take a breath, i walked up and down the path in front of the hotel trying to be fine with this
"Belle"
"I'm fine"
"Belle"
"Don't worry about me Charlie"
"Belle"
"I'm okay"
"Belle" he grabbed me by my shoulders to hold me still, I stood there biting my teeth and then the next second I started crying, Charlie didn't hesitate a second to wrap his arms around me "it's gonna be okay"
It was just now hitting me that I actually lost Aryan for real
We sat on the stairs in front of the hotel in silence after I had calmed down
"There you are, everything alright out here ?" I turned my head to see Walker holding the door open looking down at us
"We're all good, just catching some air" Charlie responded, which seemed enough for my twin since he walked away after the answer "so... want to tell me what's going on now ?" I sighed picking up a little stone and throwing it away
"Life is shit"
"Yeah, it is"
"I broke up with Aryan"
"Yeah, want to talk about that ?" And in that moment I realised I basically had no one to talk to about this, Darcy had always been interested in everything in my life, she said she liked living through me since she couldn't do much, Aryan was my best friend for so long before life got shit and I didn't really have any other friends who were that close to me. I had Momona, who I was so incredibly grateful for because she always drops everything for me, but Mona didn't know Aryan that well so she couldn't really get it, so it had just been a whole lot of me in the past weeks
"I feel like I'm just too much" I had tears brimming up in my eyes that I desperately tried to push down
"What ?"
"It's so stupid" I laughed wiping a tear away
"It's not stupid"
"I just feel like- I'm just... I'm complaining so much about everything and I- I care too much about everything and I just keep venting all of my problems out and I have so many problems all of the time, like the whole thing with Jason cheating on me and then Val and just the whole Jason thing in general and then when I've just gotten over that my best friend dies on me ?! What is wrong with me ?"
"There's nothing wrong with you Belle" he pulled me towards himself hugging me again "life is just treating you rough cause they know you can take it, to make you stronger when this is all done"
"Well I can't take it anymore, I'm so done with everything"
"You feel like that now but I promise that's not forever, look I bet if you'd tell Aryan half of what you told me he would be doing everything he can to help you, that boy would even learn flying for you Belle you just need to talk to him"
"But that's why I broke up with him in the first place, because I'm pushing all my problems onto him"
"That's not pushing your problem onto him Belle, that's working your feelings out with someone who loves you"
"Aryan has a girlfriend"
"What ?" I sniffles taking my phone out and opening the post Grace had sent me passing my phone Charlie "come on, you barely even see him that could be anyone"
