Chapter Three

Keith's P.O.V.

I walked through the halls, and saw Rosimar wiping her eyes. 

"Rosi, What's wrong?" I asked as I frowned. She shook her head. I hated seeing Rosimar like this. This is the first time I see her tearing up. She has always been happy, and smiling. She sniffled, and looked at me with a forced smile. I sent her a small smile. 

"Keith, don't worry. I appreciate your concern. I will be okay. Is Noah done with the 'Put it in my mouth' episode?" She started to smile, but it wasn't her real smile.

"Yea. He is just getting out of set I think. Please be careful, and I am here if you need anything." She nodded at me, and hugged me. I hugged back and started to walk towards the lounge when we both parted ways.

When I walk into the lounge, I see Shayne with a weird expression on his face. He was sitting there looking at his hand. 

"Hey, Shayne."

"Hi, Keith." He replied, but he still did not dare look away from his hand.

"What's wrong with everyone today? First Rosi, and now you. What's going on?!" I sighed, and looked at him. When hearing Rosi's name his glance shot up to look at me.

"What happened with Rosi?" I shook my head.

"I don't know. When I was walking down the hall, she was crying."

He looked down at his lap, and raked his hands through his hair. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What did you do, Shayne?" He looked up, and chuckled.

"I did not do anything. She is just mad because I don't like her like that. She likes me more than friends and I said no. Keith, I am not about to be made fun of just to make her happy. There is no way, I am dating her. She is fat. It is not happening." I looked at him with widened eyes. 

"You know, Shayne? I told you it was fine. Why couldn't you just let it go." I looked back seeing Rosimar, who was holding onto Noah's hand. Noah was beyond furious. You could tell. His jaw was clenching, and his eyes seemed darker. She pulled away from Noah's hand and walked away. Noah stood there staring Shayne down.

"Shayne, you are lucky I am not trying to lose my job. Just keep your stupid ass comments to yourself. You don't know what that girl has to struggle with everyday. You fucking piece of shit." He walked away and yelled Rosi's name. I sat there bewildered from what I had just witnessed. 

"Shayne, you fucked up... Bad. You know I thought you were better than that."

Shayne's P.O.V. 

My heart sank as Keith walked out of the room. Why am I being pushed aside? At least I said the truth or is it wrong to be honest? I just don't like her like that. She is just a friend. I sighed and walked towards the door. I have to get ready and face Noah and Rosimar for 'Show with no name' and I can't even think of what I will say.

Noah's P.O.V

"Rosi!" I yelled repeatedly through the halls. I was fucking furious. Shayne was such a dick to her. I looked around and saw her enter the bathroom. I followed behind, and she just stood there looking at her frame, and judging it... Like she always did. Her frown was apparent, and I could not think of a single way to make her smile. 

"Rosi," I walked up behind her. She turned around to face me, and she brought herself close to me.

"Don't let this destroy you. You are strong. You can get through this. He is a dickhead, and does not deserve you. Please stop judging yourself. You are beautiful. No one should make you think otherwise." She shook her head on my chest. Her tears started to saturate my black shirt. I hugged her tight until her tears were long gone. She pulled away and smiled a small smile towards me. I smiled back.

"I will be okay. I will face him. He is just a person. That is it." I nodded, and watch as she started to feel better.

"Let me fix up my makeup, and we can leave to film the episode." I nodded, as she pulled out her stuff from her backpack. She fixed up everything that had been damaged from her tears. She looked great. I take out my hand for her to hold, and she holds it with a smile. I walked down the halls hoping to the universe that hell doesn't break lose during the shooting.

*Time skip to during the shooting*

This was an okay video to record. Shayne and Rosi talked like they were still best friends. Like as if nothing happened. But, then a question from a fan was read by Shayne, and I hoped that nothing got weird after that.

"@Rosimar_Boricua says: What do you do when someone you like doesn't like you back?" Shayne's facial expression had changed to something else. I sat there quiet for a moment before Rosi took the lead. 

"Well, if someone doesn't like you back, you have to move on. You should never let yourself become destroyed because of that person not having mutual feelings. There will always be another person to love, you just need to have patience, and hopefully you will find the one. Just don't have your hopes so high because you will end up hurting even more. You might think that you won't be able to get through, but you will. You just need to be able to hold yourself up when all else is crumbling at your feet. I promise you that you don't need that person as much as you think." Rosi sat there in silence as the crew started to clap. She reached for my hand, and I let her grab it as we said our goodbyes. Shayne had not said a word after what Rosi said. Everyone started to chatter and Sunny asked for me to stay. I did as I was told. Shayne went up to Rosi and whispered something. Soon enough they both left the room.

Shayne's P.O.V

I held onto her hand tightly. She looked at our hands and did not say a word.

"Rosi I just-"

"It is Rosimar to you." She said sweetly though it hurt like a motherfucker. 

"Rosimar, I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt you. I just don't like you like that. I did-" She cut me off by chuckling. 

"Shayne, I told you that I am fine. It was a dumb crush. I have nothing else to say. I don't want your apologizes. Not everyone is meant to love me. I get that. I am upset because of what you said about me to Keith. I thought you would be more mature, but it seems that you forgot what you had told me minutes before. Did you forget? You know the whole, 'It is not like when we were young'. What you said was unnecessary. From now on, we are just co-workers. Nothing more." She pulled away from my grip, and walked into the set. I stood there and looked down at my hand. 

"Just co-workers?" The words were like a spear through my heart. I had not called any of the squad, co-worker since the very beginning. It has been so long since I had heard that. Was she really calling off our friendship? I know I fucked up, but she can't just leave me behind like that. She can't! What have I done?

Courtney and Olivia walked out of the set as they chatted with Noah. They looked towards me, and I shook away all the hard feelings, and smiled at them.

"Hey guys." Courtney and Olivia sent a small smile my way, while Noah completely disregarded my greeting. I looked down, and walked down the hall. I just wanted to go home already. I just needed this horrible day to end. Why can't it just be a nightmare? I just want her back. I want to take everything I said back, but it is far too late.
