"Well you're just up again doing your fan fictions over that One Direction guys again, babe." Calum says over the phone. "No, babe, I'm not." I say staring at my laptop for almost an hour not knowing what to type. "Then what are you up to?" He asks and I lean back to my seat. "I'm not feeling well." I lied just for him to stop calling me. "What? Why didn't you say so? I'll come over." He says and I leaned forward to my desk. "I'm fine. I'll just call you when I need you." I say with a smile. "If that's what you want." He says with a deep sigh. "I'll hang up now." I say. "Love you." He says. "Mhmm, love you too." I say and hang up.

I bury my face to my hands and ask myself how will I ever start a new fan fiction?

I looked at my Wattpad in where I post my stories and to my blog in where I post the soft copies. I read the comments in where people asking me to write a new story but out of seven stories I've finished, I can't think of anything new now.

"God, how am I going to start..." I sighed and fall myself on my bed burying my face to the pillows. I looked at my phone, instead of having Calum as my wallpaper, I had One Direction's Harry Styles, of course I should. Calum sometimes get irritated when I give more time to One Direction than him but he has nothing else to do, he just had a relationship with the ultimate fangirl and he must know his limits. We're college mates, he's taking up communications, like me, in a university here in London and we've been together for 7 months. My parents are from Newcastle, I've decided to study college in London since it's the main town here, and much closer to my idols. Haha! Currently living in a flat all alone.

I scrolled my Twitter, my fan account, retweet, retweet, retweet, my interactions are really dead. I turn to my personal account and tweets from my college mates, some weather bureau, traffic updates, Calum tweeting about football.

"Get me inspiration." I tweeted.

"I knew that you're doing fan fictions again. @tarashaw"

"It's what I need to make me feel better. @calumh"

I close my Twitter and walked back to my desk, sat on my chair and called Ellie via Skype.

"Ellie." I look at her and she was texting. "Look, I've got a problem." I say to her.

"What? Calum? What did Calum do to you?" I ask.

"No, not Calum. We're fine." I let a light laugh out. "It's about the fan fiction." I say as I make a bun out of my hair.

"Yeah, I've been in your page. How's everything?" She asks as she puts her phone down.

"I can't think of anything. You gotta help me, Ellie. I don't wanna lose these guys fanning me." I say and sighed.

"Okay, a One Direction fanfic right?" She says.

"Be a Harry girl to feel it! You haven't use Harry in your stories. So you gotta learn to love him, research about him, set aside being a Zayn girl for a while, Zayn will understand you, now be a Harry girl and love him. You'll think better when you write about someone you love." Ellie says and I nod, she gave me good ideas.

"I really love Harry! Someone I really love... Harry's great. Absolutely great. Look at my wallpaper, it's my baby Harry." I say with a smile. "Calum?" She asks and I smirked.

"If he was in One Direction." I say and we laughed.

"Calum or Harry?" Ellie asks me and even when I haven't met Calum I would really choose Harry. "You know me. Harry yeah." I say and she laughs.

"You can have them all, just leave Niall for me." She raises her eyebrows and I laughed. "Okay, I will." "Hey, if you ever get to publish your books, don't you ever forget me." Ellie says.

"Of course I won't. Come on, you're the only person in college who understands how I feel." I say and she awed. "Okay, well you can start your fan fiction on how the both of you met." She says. "I don't wanna be a fangirl in the story." I say.

"A model?" "No." "A singer?" "Nah." "A diver?" "What? Hahaha, well, uhm, no." I say and remembered someone. "Then just a normal girl. Yeah, a college girl." Ellie says. "Ellie, can you come over tomorrow since it's weekend?" I ask. "Food?" "I'll call food. Chinese, English, Thai, Japanese, American, whatever you like, just come over!" I say.

"Fine." She says. "Yeah, just help me with this fan fiction." I say.

We ended the call and I turn to where I'll be typing my fan fiction. I started with the plot. A girl named Tara, me, met Harry and it I just typed what's in my mind.

I finished at about one in the morning just thinking about the plot and half of the first chapter. I turn my laptop off and crawled to my bed, tucked in my comforter and read a message sent by Calum.

"Good night xx"

I didn't manage to reply since my eyes are really closing and I just put myself off to dreamland.
