"Wait I'll just change first it's really warm today" I grab a long white skirt, a cute white top with flowers and a big cardigan and change quickly

"Alright so what do you want to do ?" Momona asks me as we head outside

"I don't know, you're the one living in Vancouver"

"What do you say about milkshakes first ? I mean it is pretty hot today" we agree on milkshakes and start walking to a cafe, which mo said makes the best milkshakes

"You know on days like this I'm especially grateful for being rid of my damn cast" I laugh as we wait for our milkshakes

"I don't know how you survived it that long, it looks really annoying"

"You have no idea, it was terrible" I shook my head "but I mean at least it was during winter so it wasn't warm and itchy and sweaty"

"True, always the optimist huh ? Or wait what does Aryan call you ? Sunshine ?" I laugh a bit smiling, I missed Aryan so bad "how'd that happen anyway ? I mean I don't disagree you are the definition of sunshine but did he just randomly start calling you that ?"

"Well it started, I'm not sure either in like a break of filming Percy Jackson or afterwards, uh we watched tangled because, well I don't really need a reason for that it's just the best movie to exist and he just started calling me sunshine" I shrugged a little the smile still resting on my face

"Oh is he referring to tangled with it ?"

"Partly"

"That's so adorable, how are you in such an adorable relationship and I'm single when I'm like years older than you" she sighed "oh that's our order, I'll get it don't worry" she got up and went up to grab the drinks from the front. I pulled my phone out and saw that I was getting a bunch of messages and getting tagged more than usual

I frowned and clicked on one instagram post that I had been tagged in a whole lot

Claribel Scobell spotted kissing her ex-boyfriend, what does this mean ? Back together ?
People had been assuming she was dating Aryan Simhadri, her co-star in Percy Jackson but what did this mean now ?

Attached to it was a picture that made me want to throw up, Jason's rough grip on both my jaw and wrist, Jason's lips on mine

I felt the panic rush back to me in an instance, the incredible pain I felt in that moment that felt like hours

I started hearing my breathing louder and my heart beating up to my ears "you've got to be kidding me"

"I think the strawberry one is actually the best but I also like the mango milkshake" I looked at Mo who put our drinks down on the table and looked at me "you alright ?"

"Don't think so" I laughed showing her the phone, there was no point in hiding it she was gonna see it anyways

"What the- wait but what about- what ?"

"I didn't. He just... he... I don't know" I realised in that moment that I wasn't actually sad or scared I was just angry

"Oh Belle" I bit my lip and looked at the messages I got

Leena
Darcy
Aryan
Walker

Fuck. I didn't tell Walker. Another secret I had kept from him.

Aryan knew about it already since I had told him so I just skipped over his messages quickly scared to see what Walker had texted

"God why can't paparazzi get a damn life. How are they legal isn't that like borderline stalking ?"

"They should be illegal. I'm so sorry this has happened to you"

"I feel like I'm just a meme in the paparazzi community at this point" I turned my phone off and put it aside not wanting to think about that right now

"You're not gonna talk to Aryan ?"

"He knows already, he freaked out real bad like he was about to fly over just to beat the shit out of Jason. He really was close to doing it Mo like I expected him to pop up somewhere any second"

"I mean considering I want to do the same I can imagine he was pissed"

"I'm a little scared of walker though, I'm not sure what he's gonna do"

"Didn't he like beat Jason up real bad once already"

"Yeah"

"He should do it again" I would've said something but honestly I would like nothing more than for Jason to get beaten up again

"I mean honestly I got him good that day, Charlie thought me some good self defence techniques"

"As you should, probably got some good tricks of the training for Percy Jackson too right ?"

"Oh yeah" Mo took her phone and looked at it for a second before turning it to show me, Aryan was calling her "what does he want now ?" I mutter and in that moment I am so glad I told him because I couldn't have handled him thinking I cheated on him

"Should I pick it up ?"

"I didn't want to ruin the vibe"

"It's alright Belle, this is more important we won't let it ruin our vibe" she smiled and clicked on her phone "Hey Aryan what's up"

"Is Belle there ?"

"Sure is" she handed me her phone

"Hey Aryan"

"Did you see it ?"

"Yeah" I sighed "I can't believe I always get caught in paparazzi shit I'm not even that known"

"Are you okay ?"

"Yeah, you knew about it already that's the most important for me. That you don't get the wrong idea" he nodded but didn't say anything "Are you okay ?"

"Yeah, I just really wish I could've been there for you and prevented that to happen in the first place"

"It's not your fault"

"Yeah" he sighed "Well I don't want to keep you two any longer"

"Oh, I got a strawberry milkshake, look" I showed it to him and he started smiling

"Now I want a strawberry milkshake too. Anyways we'll talk later yeah ?"

"Yeah, I love you"

"I love you" he hung up and I gave mo her phone back with a small smile on my lips

"You two are so cute"

" I fucking hate paparazzi"
