"Hey and we are back with the author of No-one said. Sooo, miss Phillip's, please tell us where the idea of this book came from?"Said the reported smiling brightly towards the camera.
"Well I was in high school, and I met this boy, I thought it would last forever, I truly thought we were meant to be and things were never going to end, but I was a kid, and naive, he was famous, I was a nobody, we kept things quiet and well, on my 19th birthday, he broke things off with me, after avoiding me for forever, and I struggled really bad after that, I kind of lost my way, I saw a therapist, and she advised me to write this book, it started off as just something to get everything out actually, i had no Hope's of it getting this big, or becoming famous, but I'm glad it did, and maybe one day, he will read it too."I smiled back at her and the clogs in her head were visibly turning.
"So, two questions, Ciel, can I call you ciel? Anyways, what was the therapy for? And also, what was his name? Come on spill the tea."She chuckled, looking me dead on.
"Oh, I have mysophobia, after he told me nobody would want me and I was dirty, I became obsessed with the idea that I was, and I became rather poorly with it, even being here is rather a task, hence the gloves, and the plastic sheet over the chair, but I am much much better now, however,"I giggled."As for the name, I wont humiliate him by announcing that he dated such a simple girl like me."I smiled and then I heard the director say "Cut."
"That was great Ciel, sorry for acting like a bit of a bitch but my viewers expect that, it's my on camera persona'  but I am sorry."Lauren smiled and nudged me making me squeal a bit, and I automatically sprayed disinfectant on my arm.
"Ah it's okay old friend, I know you're not really like that!"I smirked and she raised her eyebrow at me.
"You really have let that mysophobia take over you're life sweetie, you shouldn't have let him break you like this."She frowned, worriedly.
"I'm seeing a therapist."I lied, I hadn't seen one since the lady who had me write the book and that was over a year ago now, and I haven't been since.
"Okay, hit me up if you ever need me, you know I care about you."She smiled and I nodded thankfully.
"Off home I go, where it's safe."I smiled to myself, beginning the walk to my apartment.
It wasnt long till reached the busy street and carefully avoided physical contact, well that was till a man bumped into me.
I jumped back, and he stared at me, his mouth wide open.
"Sorry, hi my names-"Thats all I heard as I ran off, I need a boiling hot shower!!!!!!! Oh God what if I get sick, I must be covered in germs, this is a nightmare!
I ran the rest of the way home, and as soon as I was inside, I shut the door, only to hear commotion from the apartment next door, that I thought was vacant, but someone must have moved in, I guess.
I quickly went and took a shower as hot as I could take without burning all of my flesh off.
I sat down at my desk staring at the many emails from fans, my therapist,other authors, and my manager and publishers, and I sighed.
"I should put some music on."I smiled softly at the idea, music was always my outlet, my mum killed herself when I was young, there was this one song that always made me think about that day, and it was a way of punishing myself I suppose, it was my fault she died.
With that thought I logged on to YouTube, and played chord over streets "hold on".
I took a deep breath, and looked up at the ceiling above me. How did life get to this? How?
Was I a bad person in another life? Did I do unspeakable things? What did I do to deser-
It was then my pity party ended as I heard someone open my door, scared I unplugged my keyboard and grabbed it to use it to defend myself.
"Hello?" I shouted, and walked towards my door, as I rounded the corner, I noticed the man I bumped into earlier.
"Oh it's you? Hi, I'm so sorry I must have walked into the wrong apartment."He laughed nervously and rubbed his neck.
"Please leave."I said firmly, my thoughts consumed of all the cleaning I'd have to do to get rid of any germs he tracked in.
"I live next door now, so, hey neighbour, I'm sure we'll meet again."He smiled giving me a small wave as he left.
I closed and locked the door then, and began my cleaning process unhappily.
After cleaning, I checked the time and realised it was late, so I decided to eat some toast, and eventually, went and settled down into bed.
My last thought before sleep, was about my peculiar neighbour.
