Love has a rule. There is only a certain amount of hearts one can carry in their own hands without causing any damage to any of them. And that number is one.

Lara's POV:
"Lara, wake up."
Before I open my eyes, the first thing I realize is the coldness of the space beside me, and I immediately miss Shawn's body against mine. I open my eyes, and see that he is up already, and he is gently shaking me awake. I grumble and close my eyes, and roll to the other side, tucking my face onto the pillow.
"What are you doing. Come back to bed you idiot." Without even opening my eyes, I reach my hand forward and tug at his hand, hoping that he'd follow and hop back in bed with me for some more cuddling. But Shawn does not cede, chuckling.
"You need to take this. Everyone has been trying to reach you, Tom's on the line."
I huff, but at the mention of my best friend I open my eyes again and turn to look at Shawn, who has his phone stretched out towards me. As I reach for the phone I curse under my breath, and he laughs.
"This better be good." I say into the phone, just before a yawn escapes me. Tom chuckles on the other end of the line.
"If you hadn't gone MIA yesterday, you'd still be able to sleep." Tom jokes.
"Everyone knows I was with Shawn..." I sigh.
"That's what I told Angela, but she didn't care. She tried calling you a thousand times, and when you didn't answer any of your social media either, she made Haz and I join the hunt for you. I think she was exaggerating, but she says she needs to, and I quote, "super mega urgently" talk to you about-" Tom stops himself.
"About?" I was much more awake by now.
"About the movie of that book. You got the part Lara!"
I immediately sit up on my bed, and I could feel Shawn's eyes on me at the sudden surge of energy, as if someone had plugged me into a power outlet. "I WHAT?!"
"YOU GOT THE PART!"
"WHAT."
"YES!"
"I'M-" I was speechless. I knew how big a deal this movie was, and although I had been called for a callback, I didn't think the directors were that keen of me. But I had actually gotten a significant role. The main role. I was playing Juliette Ferrars in the Shatter Me movie.
That's when I start to utmost squeal, and I hop out of the bed, jumping around the bedroom in only my underwear. I look back to the bed where Shawn had slipped back in, and by his expression, Shawn had no clue what this was all about, yet a huge smile settled over his lips as he laughed, amused at my reaction.
"I'M STARING IN A MOVIE!"
"CONGRATS LARA," I hear Haz yell at me in the background, and I laugh.
"We need to celebrate!" Tom reacts.
"Of course!"
I knew what he was going to suggest before he even speaks. "Same place as usual, at two?"
