It was a Wednesday afternoon and Kian and I had been laying on the couch. I played with Kian's hand as he sang softly. I kissed each finger and smiled. Kian was singing Love Me Like You Do and kissed my head.

His phone then rang and he sat up and grabbed it. "Hello? Yes this is Kian. Really? When? Okay. Thank you bye." "Who was that?" I asked. "My manager. She said that I got the main role in the new horror movie, The Listeners. I smiled. "That's great Kian." "The premiere will be held on January 15th." I nodded. "I want you to come to LA with me for it." "Of course I will Kian. How long will you be away for the taping of it?" "The director said that he had a few spots around here he could use, so I don't have to go far, except the premiere itself of course." I nodded and we layed back down

A few days passed and Kian had been out a bit the past few days. He'd started filming and some days came home with fake blood smeared on him and ripped up clothes. The movie was about a guy who always felt there were ghosts watching him, but everybody told him he was crazy. The only people that would listen were psychics. Little did the guy know, it was their fault the demons targeted him.

Kian had said he really enjoyed it. Kian seemed in love with the role. He'd come home and be extremely happy. He rehearsed his lines and kept practicing. I'd hear him upstairs practicing while I did my homework. I would listen to him and only smile because I knew he was doing what he loved. I'd be his acting partner when he needed one. That was really fun.

A week later, Kian had to go and do some work out of state for a week so that left me alone in the house. I had finished my homework and was laying in bed on one of Kian's sweatshirts. It'd been a bit chilly lately, considering the mid October weather. Cuddles with Kian sounds really good right about now. Still had another three days without him. My friend Lily Kate took me to school and brought me home.

People all over the school tried to be my friend. Like I get it that I'm dating a famous person, but I'm still the same girl I was before Kian. Why does that make it any different? I don't steal any of Kian's money so I don't have any to give to you. I don't have 'fame' so I can't shine the spotlight on you. I shook it off and tried to avoid the fake people and stick to my real friends.

I rolled around on the bed when my facetime ringtone went off. I saw it was Kian and answered. We talked for a bit until his manager told him he needed to go. "Just remember, I love with all of my heart and that will never change." I smiled. "I'll always remember it Kian. Bye babe."
