Tia's POV

My mother told me that life was never easy, for a lot of times I thought that it's not that hard. She forgot to mention that it happens outside our comfort zone. And currently, I'm out of my comfort zone.

I know I found problems in every nooks and crannies, but this one, this one was something out of my league, out of my expertise.

'Voila App-Mag'

Click link to be directed to the video

My mind and fingers unconsciously touched the link, directing myself towards the video I was dreading. Whilst the video was buffering, the description below made me wonder, who would ever done this?

'First Video Before First Airing, Embarrassing Moments of Tiana Hazeldine, Thomas Sangster's TCP Partner

After some short review with the forever-charming Daniel Radcliffe, we moved our feet towards Sangster and his partner. Nobody knew about his or her juicy gossips, when suddenly Hazeldine did the unpredictable! Watch the video!'

My heart thumped faster than ever before, sweats starting to form lightly, my eyes bulging after I saw the video play for a couple of seconds; showing the sin I've made. My mouth slightly agape, I couldn't handle the shock forming in me. My fingers trailed over the comments below the description.

Oh, God.

'She's such an over dramatic queen! Why did Thomas chose her?'

'Of course she did that in purpose, so she could get more famous. Well, good luck, btch'

By the time I was reading the comments, I was shaking; my body was unsteady as I hear my pride crushing to the grounds. It was my mistake to continue the reading,

'Using my Thomas as –'

Before I could finish, somebody covered my eyes and took away the phone, dragging me towards his board chest. I noticed the scent as one of the most relaxing one I needed right now.

"Sshh, don't read it anymore." Thomas shushed me, as he then rubbed the back of my head. I didn't dare to open my eyes; afraid tears would drop one by one.

"The more they ticked you off the more happy they get, so please, you're not alone."

At the thought of that I slowly opened my eyes, revealing Thomas chest. I slowly looked up and saw his tingling but sympathy eyes looking at me, and then nodding towards the others.

I slowly turned around and found everyone, even the guys, was already there circling around us. I knew I hated sympathy, and they knew it too, so I noticed the glint in their eyes and the proud smile on their faces.

"Tia, we're here for you." Arabella smiled.

"Yeah, and it's celebrities against reporters, we could easily take them down."  Nat said as Logan laughed besides him, agreeing.

"You're not alone in this, okay?" Diana rushed over to give me a bear hug, followed by the other girls too; Thomas stepping back a little and towards his friends.
