It was weeks later before the video was finally released. By that point the rumors had died down a bit, but the release of the video simply shook them all up again. Questions regarding my identity, my relationship with UKISS, my status, my everything wrecked havoc. People claimed that I was the same girl as was rumorer to be dating Eli. Others had no clue what to make of me. I was suddenly worried about being in this video. Before now I had never considered any bad aspects to being in the video, but now it was out and I was beginning to see some of the repercusions.

Eli seemed to notice my worries,

“Inah. What is it?” We were sitting comfortably on my couch watching a movie, but I had spaced out: during the most exciting part too!

“Huh? Oh… nothing.” Eli sighed and paused the movie,

“It is something, now spill.” It was my turn to sigh now.

“They’re freaking out, therefore freaking me out.”

“Who?”

“Fans.” He chuckled,

“You’re worried. They’re scaring you?” I nodded and looked at him and he sighed and shook his head again.

“Try not to let them bother you. Right now they have no proof of anything: its only speculation. They don’t even know you. Nothing can happen.”

I wasn’t so sure…

~~~

It was a week later when it happened.

I had never been recognized in public, so when I heard the whispers I didn’t know what to expect. I brushed through my hair and wiped my face, expecting to find something aweful. When I found nothing, I was once again stumped. Why were they whispering?

“Do you think it’s her?”

“I don’t know. It sure looks like her.”

“Yeah, I wonder…” A moment passed and I stood there with baited breath: as though if I didn’t move, no one would see me.

“Yup. That’s her. She has the same weird hairstyle.” I my hair: it’s not weird is it…?

“Oh, did you see her face in that one scene?” They both started laughing. I felt overly self conscious all of a sudden. It was as if I was back in highschool. I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and looked down before quickly making my way out of the store.

I drove straigh home. Once I got there I went to the bathroom and I washed my face. I stared back at my reflection once I was done. What’s wrong with my hair? Why were they laughing? Why did they react that way? I never expected that… Am I not worthy of Eli? Is that what they were thinking? Am I not good enough for him?

~~~

My mind was preoccupied for days with these thoughts. For the first time I was really beginning to wonder about these things. I mean, why was he even dating me? I’m nothing special… Surely he could find some gorgeous woman who was also famous. Maybe a model? Yeah. He’d look good with a model I bet. I sighed and slouched down onto my couch.

What if I’m holding him back: bringing him down…?

Hey!

So, I've figured out mostly what I want to happen and I think there's just going to be a few more chapters. I really hope this hasn't disappointed you all, but I've just been so busy and I had no real plans for this when I started. That makes for an awkward mix. :S

I have another chapter mostly written so I'll try to get that up tomarrow.

Thank you all for being so amazing!~ <3

Oh! And I put a forward up for a new story! Once I finish this, I'm going to start posting the chapters for that story. I hope you all will check it out. Its about UKISS' A.J. :) Here it is: Composing Something Beautiful
