(When they are acting in this book, their characters' names will be shown. When they quit acting, they go back to their actual names. Hope that makes sense)

Tears poured down Charlotte's dark skin, her eyes dark with pain. The sparkle that was once in them, was gone, she couldn't believe what he was telling her.

"I thought you were over her, Henry! Y...you promised you were." She yelled, her voice cracking and getting quieter by the second, she couldn't speak correctly. Her eyes puffy from all the crying, she looked down at the ground. Refusing to meet his eyes, sorrow...she felt sorrow.

"I...I thought I was. I'm sorry...seeing her brought back feelings I had gotten over." Henry responded, he outspread his arms trying to hug his crying girlfriend. But she couldn't, Charlotte's eyes landed on his arms, and she backed away. The man cave probably wasn't the best place to tell your girlfriend that you had just cheated on her, seeing as they weren't the only ones there. Fortunately, they were the only ones in the main room.

But that didn't help, this was a sorrowful day for Charlotte, she exhaled a deep breath, taking time before saying the words she had never wanted to say; "I'm sorry, I just can't. Not anymore...it's over Hen. We just need to go back to being friends." More tears fell down her face, pain filled her voice, and she could barely breathe at this point. She was heartbroken.
She knew dating her best friend wasn't a good idea,
But she couldn't help it.

She loved him...no. She loves him, but she can't deal with it anymore, this wasn't the first time Henry had screwed up, this was just the first time she had even did anything about it. "Char..." he whispered, trying to reach her arm as she walked away. Charlotte choked out her words "I can't anymore." And with that. The elevator dinged, she stepped in without another thought.

"That's a wrap!" Nathan, one of the directors yelled, snapping the two young adults out of their trance. Needless to say, they were both pleased that the day was over. Wiping away her fake tears, Riele let out a giggle. "I'm so glad we're done." She mumbled under her breathe. Her face was heated, and slightly red from all the emotions she was "supposedly feeling."

This was the first time in a while they managed to nail the scene without having to redo it. "Nice job, bestie." A voice called out, looking directly at Riele, already knowing who it was, she turned around and waved.
"Thanks Ells" She said with a smile. Riele let out a small yawn, she had been up all night with her two sisters Jasmine and Reiya. (Picture above is Jasmine)

Jasmine was her half sister, same mom, different dad. Although, it's not like it matters, none of them had dads in their life and they were okay with it. People always said you need to parents, but you don't. Look at these three girls, they were already successful at such a young age. Riele being an Actress, Jasmine being a fashion designer, and Reiya being an Actress as well.

"Mk. So I'm having a sleepover at my house and you're coming." Ella randomly declared, refusing to take no for an answer, but it wasn't like Riele was gonna say no.

"When?" The darker female said, playing with her hair that was in box braids, she loved her hair like that, although it felt a little tight, it made her like a baddie.

"On Monday. And you gonna be there all day and night."

"Hold up, little girl, don't you got school?" Riele asked, confusion filling her voice with a bit of attitude as well.

"Nah, it'll be fine, I'll skip." Ella responded, grabbing her phone from her pocket. 'Privilege of the white kids.' Riele thought, cause if she had ever decided to skip school when she was in high-school, then her momma would have whooped her ass. Riele's butt started to hurt at the thought of that whooping she would have gotten, chills entered her spine.

"Hey Bestie." Jace said, making his voice higher pitched to sound like a girl, he threw his arm around Riele's shoulder, and gave her a big, wide smile. Riele rolled her eyes, using her hand to pull Jace's arm that was chilling on her shoulders. She threw his arm off her and glared at the annoying blond.

"What do you want?" She asked miffed, her eyes lowered a bit, and her smile was gone off her face. 'Oh the things I would do to hurt him, such a shame I'd go to jail for it.' She thought, as her brain came up will millions of ways to hurt him. Insane, she'd truly gone insane from being around him constantly.

"I need a favor, Princess." He said, causing Riele's eyes to roll again. He always needed a favor, and not only that, but she had also told him months ago to stop calling her 'Princess.' But of course, he didn't listen. He just gave her all the reasons of why he should call her princess. "Spill it." She responded, unamused, she shifted her weight to her left leg, slightly leaning. Ella stood beside her, yet still managed to go unnoticed, as the two lovebirds glared at each other.

"I need you to get me on a date with your friend Cree." He said, which made Riele's face slightly relax in confusion, her muscles tensed, and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Okay First off, me and Cree aren't friends. Secondly, why the hell would I do that for you?" She asked, trying to hide the anger she was feeling, why was she feeling so angry? Why did she care? She didn't understand why Jace liking Cree so much aggravated her so much, but it did.

"Cause if you do, then I'll love you forever and I won't bother you for two hours straight." He responded with a smile, his brown eyes shining brightly, he really wanted this date with Cree. And Riele didn't even understand why, the only time he ever mentioned Cree was like a year ago when they worked together for a few episodes.

Her heart fluttered as the words repeated in her head, 'I'll love you forever.' How stupid of her to get in her feels by just a simple sentence.

"Fine. But it's gotta be more than two hours." She said, wanted more than just two hours without Jace.

"Nope. Two hours is my last offer, unless you want it to be less?" He responded teasing, he ran a hand through his hair, making it a mess. Which even Riele couldn't deny the simple fact that he looked hot.

"Ugh. Fine, go away." She said, using her hands to shoo him away. Jace chuckled and sent her a quick wink. "Thanks Princess." He said before walking away.

Once he was out of distance, Ella spoke up, "So about that sleepover..." she started, then rambled on and on about how fun it would be.

'What have I gotten myself into?' Riele thought, completely ignoring her best friend. Antagonism, that's what Riele and Cree has, major hatred and conflict for each other. And now she had to deal with getting Cree to agree with the date, which should be easy since she wouldn't pass up an opportunity to hang out with guys. But when it was Riele asking, who knew what she'd say.

"Fuck my life." Riele muttered under her breath.
