Star Pov

I woke up as I checked my phone for any update on Marco but to my surprise I still haven't gotten anything. Maybe it's best we go on our separate ways. I mean it's been already a month since the kiss and honestly I was kinda missing it. Maybe I'm missing Marco completely but I shouldn't really dwell on it. I've been shooting my other series as well. I finished season one in just a few weeks. Haven't heard back from them and I just realized that our show will have a few more seasons and it's over as well. Everything is changing and we're growing up. "Star. Get up honey you'll be late." I sigh as I clicked on Marco's Instagram and see anything new. I gasp a bit as he posted a throwback picture of us. I smiled a bit but it could also mean he is just trying to play the part of my bestie. The media doesnt even know we don't talk. It better stay that way. Since the month has gone I've gotten closer to Kai and Tom. These boys were always there to make me feel better but it wasn't same as Marco. Since we have been on hiatus cause our director had a family emergency we put a pause on shooting and also cause Marco was still filming his movie. It gave us an opportunity to get to know each other better.

As I made my way downstairs I see Tom at the door waiting like always. "Why are you here?" I said smirking. "Did you forget or what? Laser tag and mini golf today. I thought Kai sent you a text about it?" I checked my phone and indeed have a text from Kai. I was distracted by Marco's post I completely blew off Kai's message. "Yup I just opened it. Well let's go." I pulled his arm as we rushed towards kai's car. As we get in I gave a quick hug towards kai as we took off. "Any news on Diaz?" Tom asked as I shrugged. "Nope. But he did post a throwback photo of me and him." Tom raised a brow as I nodded "shocking right?" "Definitely. When is this feud over?" I sigh as I tilt my head. "When I know he likes me for me." Kai coughed as I looked at him. "But he did tell you he likes you. You're just making it difficult." I smirked as I pushed him gently as he laughs along with Tom. "No I'm not! Take that back." He shook his head. "Kai has a point Star. Maybe you're just afraid that he'll leave you like he did with Jackie." I wasn't afraid. Okay maybe a little bit. Who can blame me? I have never had a boyfriend or even have a person actually say that they love me. Of course I'm going to make it difficult. "Maybe. But he confessed out of jealousy. I want him to prove he likes me for real and not cause he feels less." Boy guys nod understanding my point. "That's also true." "Can't argue there." I giggled as I pulled my phone and see Marco tweet about the movie. I really miss him. I want to speak to him and facetime him but I meant what I said. I'm not going on my word even though I really want to.

After we get to place my phone goes off as Tom grabs my phone and I glared at him. "Give it back!" He shook his head. "I'm doing this for your well being. And you're gonna get your heart broken." I lowered my gaze as I noticed Kai with a annoyed look. "Tom..please give me my phone." Tom shut his eyes as he gave me my phone. I grabbed it and opened it as I opened it to my Twitter I gasp. I couldn't believe my eyes. Was this real? Was this part of the scene of the movie? Marco likes me right? "Star?" I started to laugh as I locked my phone and put it in my purse. "You alright?" I nodded and smirked. "Yeah. Let's go have fun." The guys looked worried but they don't need to. I'm fine. I am. I mean it.

1 hour later...

"Who is she?! Why does the angle of the picture look like they're kissing?!" I banged my head on the counter we were standing by. I was fine for a good hour but then I started to overlook the photo and now I'm in a funk. "Star I told you you'll be heartbroken." I groan as I bang my head again. "Who is she? Where did she come from? Are they dating? Oh my stars! They probably are!" Tom grabs my shoulders as Kai Pat's my head. "Hey, chill out. She might be a co-star or something. And I think they're just friends." I wasn't convinced. I wanted to speak to Marco and see him. This was really getting to me. "Star let's go have fun okay?" Kai held my shoulders as he guided towards the mini golf area. "No! I want answers!" I stopped and kai groans along with Tom. "Star.." "No!" They looked annoyed with me but I don't blame them. I'm acting like a little girl throwing a tantrum. "You know what..I'm going home." Tom said as he made his way towards the door. "Why?" "Oh I don't know star? Cause you can't get over your dumb crush on Marco! You can't go a day without mentioning him or anything relating to him. So what he's with another girl? So what he's in another relationship. Move on! You should find someone who cares and cherishes you. Not someone who isnt worth it." I pout as I lowered my head. "I'm sorry..both of you. It's just Marco is my first crush and I fell hard for him so yeah I might be a little teensy bit jealous but, it's going to take awhile for the feelings to go away. I can't just simply move on. Its impossible unless you have no emotions whatsoever." Tom nods as Kai does as well. "Let's go get frozen yogurt. My treat." We both nod as we head out to another place. Moving on is hard.

As we get to the place I rushed in to get my cup. The guys slowly made it in as I start filling it up. "Oh yeah, kai you gonna pay for all of this." I laughed evily as I reached for the chocolate sprinkles as a hand beat me to it. "Oh I'm-" my eyes widen as my words are stuck in my throat. "Its okay." He turned away from me as I pulled his arm. "That's it? No hey or how I've been?" He lowered his head as I kept tugging his sleeve on his hoodie. "Star let go I'm busy and I have to go.." I wanted to cry "Just talk to me. Please.." I begged as he stops and looks at me. "I hope you're doing well. I miss you. I'm sorry." He pulled away as he paid and took off as lowered my head as my hair covered my face. "Uh Star?" "Take me home.." I whispered as kai nodded and he took me home. I had Marco in my grasp for a second and now he's gone. He misses me. He's sorry. For what though? I laid in my bed and stared at the ceiling wondering what he meant. Oh Marco why are you so confusing? As I sigh my phone starts to ring and I jump a bit seeing its Marco. I quickly answered as I waited. "Hello?" I heard his breathing and shuffling. "Star..if you want answers about the girl-" "I don't care about that I just want to see you again. Come over. Now." It was silent as i heard a soft chuckle. "Are you sure?" "Positive." He hums. "Be there in a few." I nod as I sigh. "Alright." I hang up and I held my chest. My heart was racing. Did I just really just tell him to come over? Who am I?

As I waited impatiently at my door I finally heard knocking. As I opened there he stood. Breathing heavily as he ran a marathon. I couldn't believe he was here in front of me. Looking at me with those big brown eyes of his. "Star..give me a minute." I came closer as I hit his chest as he was bit confused. "What the hell?!" He said as I hit his chest again but putting my head against his neck. "You are so stupid! Why are you making me confused! It's not fair!" My hands tightens on his shirt as I could feel he was hesitant to touch me or even say a word. "Say something.." I say as I pray he would admit his wrongs. "I'm an inconsiderate person who has feelings for his best friend. I'm also a monster for making you feel like this." I started to cry as I hid my face as he soon embraced me. "I'm so sorry star..I truly and deeply mean when I say sorry." He gently held me closer as I sniffled in his chest I slowly pushed back. I wiped my tears with my shirt as Marco got the other side. "Inconsiderate. Yes. A monster? No." He tilts his head as I sigh.

"Marco I want to apologize for me acting like this. Pushing you away for you to prove to me that you like me. Its dumb and really childish. I know deep down you always had a soft spot for me and I was selfish because it's not the way I wanted you to confess. If anyone is a monster its me." I lowered my head as Marco held my face as I looked at his smirk. "Well, then we are both at fault. Right?" I chuckled and nod slowly. "I suppose." He smiles as he pulls me to a proper hug. My hands slowly wrapped around as I felt my heart feel lighter. It didnt feel heavy. "I missed you so much.." he whispers and I look up. "And you don't think I did? You know it's hard not having my bestie with me." He nods. "I could imagine. How are the guys?" I shrug. "A little bit upset with me. Maybe annoyed as well." Marco crosses his arms as he points towards my room.

"Alright let's go. Time to spill some tea." I giggled as we walked towards my room. As we get there we sat in the bed as Marco looks at me. "Now. Tell me what's going on." I took a deep breath. "Alright since the last time we spoke the guys have been trying to help me move on or whatever but I was really stuck on you and it's quite embarrassing now that I'm saying it..wow." Marco chuckles as he put his hand on my own. "Go on." I nodded. "Anyways! I just kept talking about you and even stalked your Instagram and other social media posts cause I still hung to you. The boys were annoyed that I would even mention you and kinda talk badly about you but what they said was somewhat truth." Marco moved his hand as he eyed me carefully. "What did they say?" I sigh. "Let's just say I need someone who will be there for me. And some other things." He nods. "Do you regret liking me?" I shook my head quickly. "No. God no! It's just I'm annoying and scared." He raised a brow at me. "Scared of what?" I let out a weary sigh "you leaving me like you did with Jackie." He nods but shook his head. "Star, you know I would never do that to you. We're really close and know each other well. My parents love you and my baby sister. I don't think I could let go of someone so perfect." I blushed a bright red as I laughed awkwardly as I avoided looking at him. "Oh Marco! You're too much!" I pushed him slightly as he chuckles. "Dont be nervous. It's just me. You're bestie." I sigh. "I know that. Hey Marco are we okay?" He smiled and nodded. "Definitely. We're cool." I nod as I sigh again. "Can we start slow? Dates and then eventually asking me to be your girlfriend." He smiles and held my hand. "I would gladly do that for you." I giggled feeling so giddy as Marco laughed at me. "You are one strange girl Star."
