Chapter Seventeen: Ugly girls, Idiots, beach houses and Cigerettes.

------------------------------

"There you go hon, just hold that pose." Simon smiled taking the picture, then a scowl crossed his features.
"Come arms around her waist, Harrison one would assume you love Liberty enough to look in love." Duncun smiled at me from the patch of grass he was sitting on,
"Why doesn't Harrison actually face Liby, you know eye to eye contact." Duncun said faintly.

Simon snapped toward him his signiture hawk eyes squinting slightly, that look was the same one he gave me on my first job.

"What did you just say?" Duncun looked genuinely  scared and he should be, Simon was a scary little man.

"I said that...they should...face each other...umhm, you know towards the sun for a sun kissed feel..."  Simon nodded pouting before nodding,
"I see, that is a good idea,what's your name?" Duncun smiled,
"Cameron." Simon smiled,
"Well Cameron go with Edna she'll get you an out fit and your posing with Aria."

I gaped as Liby did, Simon had never been nice to anyone unless you were following exactly what he was saying,
"Now Harrison darling please face your fiancée."

Harri  smirked moving infront of Liby, thier eyes met and his arms circled her waist pulling her close. Liby placed her hands on his chest smiling up at him,

"I like this position better, it's better for me to see your ugly face with." I swear i wanted to slap Harri for calling her ugly but Liby laughed lightly, exactly how isn't she insulted? These guys are weird.
"Your not as handsome as you think you are." He leaned hin closer thier foreheads touching,
"Your only saying  that because i haven't kissed you." He whispered and Simon smiled taking pictures.

They barely noticed as Liby's hands moved up to his blazer's  collar of  pulling him down to her, both thier eyes closed,
"Can we stay like this forever?" Harri asked, as one of his hands came up to cup her cheek,
"Forever is a long time Harrison, are you sure you want me eating your food for that long?" He smiled,
"I'm on a liberation diet." They both chuckled, before thier lips met.

It's funny somewhere deep down i wanted to know what that felt like to have someone hold me like that and feel thier heart beat under my palm, it's like I'm becoming less heartless.

I need to get back on my meds, it's like i have a soul now.

Before this I'd never even considered falling in love, I'd planned my life.

Arianna Ignasia Sedio, dying alone in a beach house with only her trusty skateboard blue and her best friend Zach a walk away at his beach house.

Maybe it's just because Harrison and Liby are here and they're...sort of perfectly matched for one another.

"Ahh, now  Aria come here." I stood from the chair and took a look in the mirror,my multi coloured hair in a pony tail completely straight, the navy blue crop top and white shorts perfectly holding my body and of course the Chuck Taylors on my feet.

I walked  to the tree where i was taking my photos,
"Edna! Bring Cameron along!"

Duncan came walking, in a white button up and jeans, his hair looked more ordered than it previously was,

"Okay now Cameron carry Aria on your back." Simon smiled and i laughed, I'm not joking i straight up laughed,
"Was something funny Aria?" I looked up at Simon who seemed serious,
"Oh wait, you weren't joking?Duncan can't carry me." Simon pouted,
"There is no Duncan on set dear." I face palmed myself,
"He's Duncan, i call him that because of__" Simon cut me off catching on to where i was going,
"I see it now, the whole Total Drama Island concept you two have, Duncan and Gwen, you two need a much darker scene...maybe an alley way...with cigerettes!" 
"Edna a leather jacket!"  Simon hollered and Edna gave  Duncan the jacket,

Duncan smiled at me at the idea of a cigerette between his lips and an honorable excuse.

"Simon i don't smoke anymore." I said whilst scratching the back of my neck, looking for Harrison for back up but noticing him and Liby in the patch of grass talking to one another, he was too caught up in the conversation.

"Nonsense, ome smoke won't kill you dear, lets go!" He opened his bag and took out cigerettes and a lighter he ushered us both to an alley way, it wasn't your typical smelly dumpster ally way more like a cleaner one just grungy.

Simon handed us both one cigerette each and lit them, Duncun took a puff already comfortable leaning against the wall, Simon smiled taking pictures and i froze looking at the lit  nicotine filled miniture  cylinder.

It had ruined my life like Zack always said,

"Arianna you may think that you have control over the drug but the drug has more control than you may ever believe."

I stared at hit,

"Aria, it's your turn." I blinked then looked up at everyone before bringing the cigerette to my lips and taking in a puff of the nicotine, feeling it roll down my throat, then releasing the smoke, it felt relaxing.

To be honest I'd missed the feeling of smoking, not that i smoked alot, it was more of a release and after this week i needed a release.

"There we go, now look more natural." I leaned against the wall next to Duncan and we both began to take several poses whilst taking puffs of the cigerettes inbetween.

After the shoot, Duncun drove us back to my house and was lectured by Annie and as for me, i went to a drug store to buy a pack of cigarettes.

The weather had gotten cooler, i took blue out and skated to the drug store scanning the isles, i froze when i passed pregnancy tests, my hands running over a specific blue packaging.

It was like someone had poured a bucket of ice cold water over me, i gulped and walked to the cigerettes buying a box showing some ID.

I walked out lighting one immediately and taking a puff deciding on walking home, if Annie knew i was smoking again she'd organise another intervention and honestly i didn't want anyone worrying about me.

I started walking when a red neon sign caught my attention, i need to relax and this was the perfect place to do so.

I dropped my cigerette stepping on it before walking in.
