Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 139

"Yeah you're just saying that cause-" my eyes landed on Aryan hugging someone behind the cameras and my mind went blank "-cause- I'm sorry I forgot my line" I looked over at the woman who was holding the script

"Oh don't worry it's fine, your line is yeah you're just saying that cause we both know I'm on the side who's winning this" my gaze swayed over to Aryan again but I nodded

"Right"

"Okay and scene"

"Yeah you're just saying that cause we both know I'm on the side who's winning this"

"What happened to you Skylar ? This isn't you come on"

"This is very much me, maybe you just don't know me"

"I do know you, you're my sister-"

"I'm not your sister Percy-" I stopped and just kept my eyes on Walker "I'm so sorry I don't know what's going on" I turned my head to the producers who was standing off to the side "I'm sorry"

"It's okay everyone has an off day sometimes, let's just take a break alright ? It's lunch time anyways" I nodded slightly biting my inner cheeks, this has never happened to me before, ever

"Seriously don't worry about it Belle, we all know how often I forget my lines" Charlie smiled patting my back slightly

"Yeah it's fine" I smiled back nodding, I grabbed my water bottle and took a sip out of it taking a breath

"Hey Belle, can I talk to you for a second" I turned to face the producer talking to me

"Uh yeah of course" we walked into a quiet corner, she had a genuine look of concern on her face looking at me

"Listen, I know these past few months haven't treated you all that well and all of that with learning how to handle this new popularity is really though on anyone and especially on someone that young" I broke the eye contact and looked at the floor "look, I don't want to force myself into your business but don't be too hard on yourself, we see that you enjoy the filming and the people and you're seriously talented and good and we also see that you're pushing yourself, which don't get me wrong pushing yourself a little is really good but I have also watched a lot of people try to push themselves too far and you know where that ends ?"

"They get burnt out"

"Yeah. Go a little easier on yourself okay ? You're doing an amazing job and I'm really proud of how far you've come. Now I don't want to keep you any longer, but remember to give yourself a break once in a while" I nodded looking back up at her and smiling slightly

"Thank you" she also smiled at me before I turned and left to join the others for lunch, I grabbed my food and sat on the only seat that was empty, between Charlie and Walker and right in front of the girl

Aryan was mid conversation with the girl so i just quietly started eating my food, I held eye contact with Leah for a bit having a silent conversation through the eyes until the conversation between the couple faded as Aryan turned to answer Dior who was saying something

The girl in front of me eyed me for a second, I looked up and locked eyes with her and she immediately started smiling at me

"Hi, I don't think we've met yet, I'm Amara"

"I'm Belle" I smiled back at her placing my fork down

"Oh I know, I'm like a huge fan so sitting in front of you is kind of crazy, although everything about this right now is kind of crazy" she really seemed nice and really bubbly "I love your music, I listened to the EP back and forth all day when it got released and of course I love your new album, the lyrics, the catchy melody and your voice it's just really amazing"

"Thank you, I really enjoy making the music so that's really nice" it was kind of weird talking to her about the album when most of the songs on there were about her boyfriend, who was also sitting right next to her as we speak, but she was so excited about it

"If you ever decide to go on tour best believe I will be there"

"Well, I'm just getting started really, I'm kind of busy with the whole acting thing but maybe in the future"

"That would be so cool"

"Yeah it would be really amazing"

"Hey Mara" we both turned to look at Aryan, they even had nicknames ?! "I'm going to the store to buy ice cream are you coming ?"

"I was just getting into a conversation with Dior" Dior looked up, a little confused as she turned to the girl apparently not knowing that she was in a conversation "go with Belle she just finished her lunch"

"Uh, I need to go over my lines-"

"He can help you with that, everyone else is still eating" I let my eyes wander from Amara to Dior who was looking at me

"I just need someone to come with me really" Aryan shrugged getting up from his seat

"Fine, I just need to grab the script though" i stood up and started walking towards my trailer, i went inside and grabbed my script quickly going back out to find Aryan on his phone leaned against my trailer, I turned my head and took a breath before closing the door behind me, Aryan looked at me and put his phone away

"I think i can count the amount of times you forgot your lines in the entirety of season one on one hand, are you alright ?"

"Yeah, just an off day or something" he hummed in response nodding "hey Aryan, for whatever it's worth coming from me i like Amara, she seems really great, you deserve someone like that"

Authors note:
Wohoho Aryans new girl or what ?! What do we think of Amara ?
I would also love to mention that I love how confident everyone is in them getting back together 🤭 a whole lot of optimists here

Lyrics of the day :
I cut the rope and you fell from the tower
I let it go for my peace of mind
Bit the bullet, it didn't hurt
But I still hate the image of you kissing her
I chalk it up to "it's all for the better"
