Rose's P.O.V

I always pictured in my mind that me and Lina were best friends but to have it become reality? That's crazy. Its like all the perfect scenarios I built in my head were all coming in together. Except one. My parents aren't proud of me. I always hoped someday, somehow I'd make them proud and they'll actaully accept me but this si what it came down to. No I can't let them bring me down I had to be the happy and cheery person that I usualy am.

There's a knock at the door and I open it to see the same disguised figure with the odd shades is standing there. Lina.

I wrap her in a warm bear hug and she giggles. "Hey Rose!" She gives me a wide grin. "Here I'll take the coat". When I hang her coat up I notice a frown on her face when she faces the carpet "What you don't like the carpet's colour?" I ask, putting my hand up to my mouth in mocking shock. She laughs and shakes her head "no it's not that." She gets that faraway look on her face. "It's just I want out of this life that I have I hate it. I mean I don't have any real friends they all hate me but all they want is the fame.' I sit beside her taking her hand "What happened? What's making you think like this?" She looks at me and sighs. "My sister." I give her a confused look "My sister's boyfriend, she loved him but the only reason he dated her was to get closer to me. Now she can't even stand to look at my face! Do you know how guilty I feel?!" Then she reaches her breaking point and her makeup perfected face is now crumbling. I see the real Lina behind all the jokes in the interviews and all the fake laughs, I see her pain but she gives a sad smile and it's painful to see that. I know that feeling, so seeing her like that shakes me up too.

I throw my hands around her, "You know what sucks? My mom doesn't even care. She says I have to keep doing all of this and she never supports me. She knows how much pain I'm in but she still ignores it. She acts like a manager not an agent, she's never acted like other moms, she looks at me with disgust even though I'm doing everything I can to please her. What do I do Rose? What.." I just stare at her with tears pooling in my eyes. I want to cry for her, for me, but she doesn't shed a tear she just looks frustrated and I know how strong she is, to not shed a tear even though her heart's breaking. She was the strongest person I've ever known.

Then I hear the sound of the door opening. And I saw Liam at her side and he started to soothe her and immediately Lina is back to her happy facade seeing him. "Liam? What are you doing here?" "Well, I heard Lina's voice coming from you're room so I just wanted to listen to see if it was actaully Lina" He looked down "Sorry I didn't mean to eavesdrop" Liam looked embarassed and Lina hugged him it's ok I know you didn't mean it" Her gaze falls on my face "You're crying !" She looks baffled and I wipe my tears quickly "I just I hate seeing people cry that's why" I smile, shrugging it off. Lina turns back nodding, but Liam keeps staring at me and I look anywhere but at him. I don't like it when people stare at me, I just think that when they stare closely they'll see all the ugly flaws, I know that's so stupid like they don't already see them but still I don't like it.

After they've left I'm struck by the thought that I've talked to Liam for the first time. I didn't even realize that at that moment with what was going on but I do now. I plant my face in my pillow , sobbing hard. I had all my dreams come true, everything was happening the way I wanted it to,I should be grateful but I'm not.

Taylor and Leone were out today, they'd asked me to join but I had the worst period cramps so I'm in bed doing nothing at all. There was a knock at my door and I didn't want to get up so i just yelled "Come in!" Then door opens slowly and I take a shaky breathe when I see whos at the doorway. Liam.
