Claire Stewart is a normal girl with a normal dream of becoming a famous singer. She doesn’t believe in love and thinks all relationships are doomed to end as she has seen in her life, so maybe not so normal after all.
She has got Normal brown eyes , normal brown hair and a-not-so-slim-not-so-fat body and currently lives in her own apartment which she sometimes share with her bestfriend-justin- in New York.She has a great voice , can be a little sassy at times but is sweet none the less and loves three things and three things only , no more no less.1. Music2. Her best friend Justin.3. Justin's familyShe has no dream to get herself a boyfriend or anyone in the love sector - she doesn't have time for useless things-her words not mine. She currently pays her apartment bills -she bought from her life savings after Justin said that it will match her style- by working at a café and doing gigs there whenever she gets the time.One thing ,i forgot to mention , she has a small crush on harry williams , a british heartthrob.Also another thing, I forgot to mention she has no family left- a dad and a step mom, but she doesn’t like them ,let alone love, so they don’t exactly count, apart from Justin’s family, who is her real family now and the only family she will ever have and need- and is a little broken from her past ,her worst part of life that she wishes to forget ,if you exclude her family history.There was a plan in place, but she just tends to be in a chaotic love triangle."You are up next" a black-haired man said. I revert back , I'll be out in a minute" . He gives me a tired face and leaves. I put my high heels on and went out. I find myself under a spotlight and soothing music starts.A minute later,I sat on a chair and started singing a made-up story by Andi Mitchell. After finishing the song ,some people give me an applause and whistle-mostly teenagers who think they are my age and totally make a move – while some just nod their heads along .After that song, I played another of my songs, but, halfway through ,the owner of the café plugged the speakers off and gestured me to get back to work.“Thank you! New Yorkers, see you next Saturday” I shouted at them while people booed at the owner of the café. The owner looks at me pointedly, so I take back the mic and say,”I am so sorry guys, but I really have to go ,otherwise I might lose my job. Unfortunately, my boss is a little grumpy right now, but I promise you ,I will make it up by singing h
I woke up with the realisation that it was a Tuesday and I had a crappy job with a grumpy boss. That meant me getting up from bed and facing today’s challenge with a smile on my face and stepping into the real world.Okay ,that was deep .‘’ ughh!!!!! I hate weekdays’’ I said to myself and got up from the soft bed where I could stay for eternity and went to take a shower . After showering, I got ready and went to face the real challenge with a chocolate donut in my hand .Seriously, I could face any problem if I had chocolate donuts . Remind me to thank the person who discovered donuts whenever I go to heaven. I entered the cafe’ and started my job .Midway through ,I saw Andrew entering the cafe’ .‘’To what do I owe the pleasure?’’ I asked Andrew when he reached the counter.‘’I need a favour from you"‘’Whatever you wish ,my lord!!’’ I said and did a curtsy , or tried to do it.‘’Okay, I need two favours now. First, do not ever-like ever and I mean it-do the curtsy without seeing pr
I returned to Harry."So sorry, I had no idea he could say that. " I had a little idea though. I mean, this is just a teaser of what my dear bestie can do. "No problem, is he your brother?" He asks eyeing him."God NO!he is my best friend, my person.""Okay, so where were we?" he asked, straight out flirting with me."You were just stating the facts" I said, smirking at him."I don't remember what I said ,exactly. Was it you-are-so-good one or you-should-audition-for-a-show-taking-place-here?""What?" What show? "There's a show , a singing show with an opportunity for the winner to go to L.A. and live a famous and successful life here . You really are very talented and I think you might be the one.""What?" I could totally imagine my eyes as wide as sockets or a full pan.He just chuckled."You, Claire ,have been given an opportunity to share your talent with the world ,not just a small locality."I am so totally NOT being a confused child and blinking again and again thinking and ta

I was halfway through my shift when I got a message. ANONYMOUS: "Hey love, how are you?".Who is this person? Is he him? NO, it's not possible. Last time I saw him he was going to jail and was in a court, his hands in handcuffs. Is he back? I get goosebumps thinking about him. I get this urge to itch my skin , like there are a million ants crawling all over my body It cannot be possible. I am just hallucinating or this is some poor prank by some horny teenager in desperate need of attention or something. I look around me for any cameras , or any sign of him but do not find any . I find some courage to write a message back with my heart racing. ME: Who are you? ANONYMOUS: You don't remember me?Oh my god! This is not possible. It can't be. My breath hitches. I repeat my message once again with shaky hands. ME: If you don't want to be reported, I ask again WHO. ARE. YOU.? ANONYMOUS: WOAH! Calm down Claire , it's me , Harry . I was just joking , sorry if I scared you. Thank Go
The second round went over smoothly and as soon as it ended , I rushed to my car to meet Justin . I reached the ice cream parlour and Justin was already there waiting for me ."Hey, guess what?" I asked."Hey. You met your soulmate and he asked you to marry him! "Aww, I'm so happy for you Claire!" He gave me a noisy kiss on the cheek."No dumbass. I did NOT get thrown out of the show, so order any ice cream you want, I am paying.""You were gonna pay either way, besides I am going tonight. Remember?" he said and made a pouty face."Yes, I know. So do not go all crybaby on me." I say despite feeling the whirl of emotions going through me. "But, I just thought we had more days together. You know what, you are right? Now tell me what do you want?" I ask even though I am sure his order will be the same."I want a double scoop of mint chocochip" .Yep, same old."OK, I am going to place our order. Sit here". "Hey, I would like a double scoop of mint chocochip in a cup and one scoop of cook
I arrived at the venue. I looked around me and saw Shawn waving . "Hey Shawn or should I say 'captain hottie '" I said with a salute and a smirk ." Well, I like Captain Hottie more . What do you think of 'sass master'?" he says with a smirk. "What did you just call me?" I said having fun with this . I think shawn is somewhat like my friend ,even though we don't know each ,he gives me good vibes ."Hey, were you dreaming about me and you on our wedding day?" Shawn raises his eyeborws and smirks.."Not even in your wildest dreams, Shawn" . I say mimicking his expression."See, that's why I called you sass master. " he explained with a frown."Whatever" I said and rolled my eyes."'Whatever'" he mimics me and rolls his eyes and then starts laughing.At that moment, I saw that Shawn had crinkles near his eyes .He is kinda cute with his deep brown eyes .My phone rings and i answer it .'Hey harry-' I say but harry cuts me off."WHERE ARE YOU CLAIRE? YOU KNOW WHAT! I AM COMING RIGHT NOW ,
CLAIRE'S POVMe and Shawn are sitting in the reserved area at a table for four. Apparently Shawn made a reservation beforehand so we could enjoy our ice cream without any disturbance from paparazzi and people in the cafe.We decided on our orders anda girl arrives to take the said order. "Hey. I will take your order today. What will you guys have?" she asks looking solely at Shawn who is oblivious to her 'fuck me' eyes and how she is looking at him."Um, I will have mint chocochip and make it a double. On a cone." "Okay, sir and what for you ,mam?"she asks me."I will have single scoop of cookie and creams on a cone, please.". "Okay. Anything else?" she specifically asks Shawn and gives him a seductive smile while subtly licking her lips. " No thank you . This will be all", shawn says dismissing her and I swear there is some disappointing look in her eyes. Dear God!After a last glance at Shawn, she leaves our table. "She was totally flirting with you" I say smirking at him." I d
Shawn's p.o.v. : Me and Claire take our seats . I am still not over by the performance we just gave . Maybe, Me and the guys can convince Claire to record one or two songs with us that could go in her debut album. We could also gain many new fans. Not that we need it, our fans are really very great anyway. I order myself a glass of whiskey, straight and order a glass of margarita for Claire. I know she loves them. I am already at the bar ,when I realise it's time for the most audience favourite event in this whole festival. Any two people from the attendees of the festival are picked randomly and are forced to sing a song together without any practice . The song is to be choosed from either the small bucket present there or you can sing it from your own heart. It would even be great, if the song is an original and if the fans attending the festival love it ,then it's a cherry on top. You know you have to record it and release it since it's basically being awaited by many people a
Claire's P.O.V:My makeup is almost done when a tune comes to my mind and I sing out a line that fits perfect with the melody . I get up from the chair placed in my living room abruptly ,ignoring the makeup artist's grunts against my action and pick up my journal to write it out . "I am sorry . I had an inspiration and you never know when it strikes. " I explain myself and get back to being pampered with makeup and stuff.Once I am done with my makeup and hairdo ,the bell rings as the makeup artist packs her stuff to leave. "One minute ,please. " I yell to the person ringing the bell and call for the makeup artist."I am sorry, what's your payment?" I ask her. "No need ,mam. Shawn sir has already paid me ." She says and smile."Call me claire. And I insist , please ." I try to reason ."I am sorry I can't do that ,claire. I am a big fan of yours and if you still want to pay me ,can I click a photo with you ?" She asks sheepishly. "Ofcourse, what's your name, sweetie?" I ask and
Shawn's P.O.V:Today is the day . I am very excited about the festival , everyone and believe me when I say, every artist will be there and my band will be performing among some very few selected artists. Also, claire will be going with me as my date . Today, we will make it official and I will introduce her as my girlfriend to everyone . I bought her a ravishing dress which will fit her perfectly for the event . I have my breakfast and put some vodka in my coffee to help with the nerves. The truth is , I don't like to drink alot but it helps me when I am tense and is the only thing getting me through everyday . I hated the look on claire's face when she found out that I was drunk but I am gonna make it up to her by making her so happy . Today will be perfect and no one will ruin it . I won't let anyone destroy my girl's happiness. After having breakfast , I pack claire's dress and go to her house so she could get ready . I also call a make-up and hair stylist for her. I have been in
After having lunch in a nearby café, I book myself a cab to get home and start getting myself ready. I reach quite late due to the traffic so my mission is to get ready in very less time for the double date. I wear a red A-line dress with puffy half sleeves and wear my red heels and have my red lipstick on. I leave my hair down and puff it up to style it and add volume. As soon as I am done, the bell rings and I know that it's shawn . Since ,I don't have a car yet so he will be picking me up and driving me places when he's free so that he appears as a 'doting boyfriend ' and we hit this fake dating thing in the ass and make it our bitch. I open my door and shawn's eyes widen for a second but then he kisses me on the cheek . I roll my eyes when he Winks at me , non surprisingly . I lock the apartment and shawn places his hand on my back and lead me to his car. Although, his hand is on the dress and not in contact with my skin ,I can feel the heat cooming off of it on my back and it is
Claire's P.O.V:After eating and getting our pictures clicked, Shawn drops me at my new apartment . He kisses me on my cheek and I ignore how his gaze lingers for a minute too long . I shut the door and take a short shower and sleep on my new bed . Today went great and i had lots of fun with Shawn. I wish things go great like this forever. Maybe ,we could go on a double date with Justin and Jayson . I think i need to be reminded that i am fake dating Shawn ,again and again because i keep forgetting about it and start thinking of it as real. It's all too complicated for me to keep track of it. I shake that thought and fall into dark abyss.*_*I wake up by my alarm going off . I take a shower and get dressed to go to studio and record some stuff. It will be my first time in a studio . I wonder what the process will be ? I also text Justin ,informing him if our double date which i have planned with shawn . I make myself a cup of coffee with extra creamer and chocolate syrup and toa
SHAWN'S P.O.V.:I am finally on my way to make claire mine. I know how she looks at Harry ,like the sun shines from his ass but I will be the one she will be looking at like that when we are seen in public and that alone makes me giddy. I make my way to her new apartment, a box of chocolate and a rose plant for her . I know her favorite flowers are Tulips so I also have them but the plant wasn't available so rose was the safest option.I ring the bell after parking my black rover in front of her door to be clicked by the paparazzi. I dressed extra nice even though I look hot everyday. Claire opens the door and her hair is messy and she has changed into some black leggings and a tank top showing her collarbone. She is not wearing any makeup but she is looking as beautiful as ever. I could look at her all day and never get tired of her. I have dated many girls in past ,had spent "nights" with some of them but I have only ever found two girls beautiful. One ,Rose ,we have some hi
Claire's p.o.v.:I leave after saying goodbye to harry. For real ,this time. I go to Jack to enquire about my apartment since I can no longer afford to live with harry now that it's over for good this time. "Hey, jack . When will I get my apartment?" I ask ignoring shawn standing beside me."Hey, sorry I forgot. Here you go. Your apartment is right next block to harry’s so if you need anything ,I am sure ,he can assist you." He says handing me the key. I won't need harry's help but it's good our apartment is close ,if there's an emergency. Also, it would be easy to transport all my stuff at harry's place to my apartment because of less apartment and it won't even cost much. "Thanks ,jack. Also , I had a deal with the management at my last show that I will be able to release the song I sang on finals ,so when can I get the studio to record it and release it as soon as possible?" I ask since u so desperately want to release this song. People loved it in the finals and I am sure t
HARRY'S P.O.V.;I have been in Hollywood long enough to know that stunts like these happens for publicity reasons but i have also seen people starting as fake dating which later turns into something more and i fear it might happen in this case. Not from Claire's side ,i believe, but from Shawn's side. I can almost see the happiness radiating off of him at the mention of him and Claire fake dating. He is not even feeling guilty for putting him and Claire under the radar of the paparazzi but i know Claire is blaming herself for the scandal . I sit through the meeting without passing any comments but i cannot resist myself when everyone leaves and me and Claire are left alone."Don't do it ,Claire . Take the contract back. Cancel it." i say while facing the floor. "I cannot, harry and you know that." She says ,her gaze searching mine . When she can't look at my face , she gets up and kneels before me and forces me to look in her eyes. "We could try anything worth trying ,just don't do i
I wake up and check my phone to see many notifications popping up but my gaze lands on the one tweet from the tabloids with my ans shawns face. We both are laughing on the floor ,me on top of him while he is looking in my eyes. It could be considered a friendly post if nit for the hearts drawn all around it and the headline :" Shawn Allen and Claire Stewart seemed getting cozy on her first night in L.A. " There are many more articles indicating me and shawn secretly dating and I groan at the mess I landed us in. Many people are tweeting about me and shawn being a couple from some time . I shut my phone after seeing a text from justin about the news and harry knocks at my door just a second later.He opens my door and his face shows proper feeling of betrayal. Does he think? No. "Is it real? Did you cheat on me? Was he the goddamn reason?" He whispers but it is loud enough for me to hear . I know why he is thinking this way and I am solely the reason behind his question but it hurt
