Fionn's POV:

I sat in my flat reading when I heard a knock on my door. It was getting late so I didn't know who could possibly be at the door at this hour. I opened the door and saw Aneurin standing there.

"Ey mate." He greeted.

"Hey Ni." I let him in and closed the door.

"I'm goin' to get right to the point." He began, "This stunt thing is a horrendous idea."

"I know, I can't stop though."

"Yes you can." He said. "Just tell your agent that you don't want to go through with this anymore. Don't let people control your life."

"I don't want to risk the trouble, anyways Rosie absolutely despises me. She'll never speak to me again."

"Mate, Jack's already spoken to her. You have a chance." I looked up at him.

"Really?"

"She still cares about you. She just needs reassurance, you need to end this." He was leaning against the couch looking at me. I stayed silent, I didn't know what to say. Nina would never allow me to back out, and it's in my contract that I have to go along with things she says. I felt selfish to put my work before Rosie, but I didn't know if Ni was telling the truth. What if she hated me and he was making everything up?

"Think about it." He spoke then walked out. I wish I didn't have this problem, and that I could be a normal lad hanging out with friends. I knew it'd probably get more hectic than this in the future. I didn't want to think about this anymore so I decided to get some sleep.

Rosie's POV:

I woke up to the sunlight peeping in through the window. I laid in bed and stared at the ceiling above me, thinking about what Jack had told me last night. I wanted to believe Fionn, but at this point I just wanted to forget everything and enjoy my time working on the film. We had just started the break and I wasn't going to spend it pouting over a boy.

I managed to get up and make my bed. After freshening up I made some breakfast. I thought I'd go explore the city today and spend some alone time. I changed into some jeans and a comfortable shirt. I slipped on my vans and grabbed my phone before putting it into my purse.

Walking out of the apartment building, I made my way towards town. I had only ever explored a small bit of the city with Izzy, but I wanted to see more of it and she had left to visit family.

And so here I was, a young girl from a small town, walking around one of the world's most popular cities an ocean away from home.

The smell of freshly baked cookies and coffee hit me as I entered the doors of the small bakery. The room was filled of people's laughter and conversation. I made my way towards the counter and ordered a sandwich with a water. I took a seat at a small table and scrolled through my phone as I waited for my food to come.

"One turkey sandwich on whole grain." I look up to see a smiling woman at me.

"Yes ma'am." She put the plate in front of me. "Thank you." She walked away but returned and set a cookie next to my plate.

"Oh uh, I didn't order a cookie." I told her.

"It's from the nice gentleman at the front table." She gestured towards the front of the store. As she walked away I glanced over to where she had said and saw a familiar face walking my way.

"Can it be?" The man smiled at me. I got up and gave him a hug.

"Aiden! What are you doing here?" Aiden was an old family friend, we were practically family. It was nice to see someone I knew.

"I had this trip planned for ages, why didn't I know you were in town?"

"I'm here for work, I've been here for about two months, and I'll be staying for 10 more." He took a seat in front of me and we talked and ate once his food came out.

"I wish I would've known sooner, I leave back to the states on Wednesday." He said.

"I'm free for the next few days, we can hang out again."

"How about tomorrow? We can meet here at 10:00?"

"Sounds like a plan."

Fionn's POV:

I was on my way to see Nina to talk about this whole stunt. I was stopped at a light when I looked to my right and saw a familiar face sitting on a bench.

It was Rosie.

Though a few seconds later she was met with a boy holding two cups. I watched as they walked off together down the street. Could it be? Was she already moving on? I knew Aneurin had to have been lying. She wouldn't wait around for me, I guess it's what I deserve.

Though I was still mad. She was already seeing someone else. I heard the car behind me beep and put me out of my trance. I began driving again and decided to turn back home instead. I wasn't going to put my career on the line for someone who doesn't want me.

**********

I was sat next to Megan at a restaurant. We were having lunch together and simply talking about our upcoming projects. I heard my phone buzz from the table. Looking, I saw I had received a text from Harry.

A few of the lads are coming over, care to join?

I thought about it and decided to go. Maybe I'd bring Megan along with me.

We finished lunch and hung out at some stores around town before heading to Harry's, but not before having a few paps get our picture. I hated being photographed in public, but I guess the plan was working.

We arrived at Harry's and walked up to his door. He answered and smiled at me, then turned to Megan and greeted her, though his face turned to a look of worry.

"Oh, Megan, I didn't know you were coming, please come in." He said. Megan walked in first, me following. I gave Harry a confused look to which he returned the same worried one. As I stepped through the door I was met with four pairs of eyes. Jack, Tom, Aneurin, and Rosie.

Oh boy.
