Star Pov

"Welcome back to Late night with Ash! Tonight I want to welcome back the cast of Flowers Bloom. Hey guys been awhile." We smiled and nodded towards her as she looked excited to hear new things. But honestly she just wants to know if any of us are together. "I'm excited we're back. It's been what a year since we been here?" Tom said as I kept a neutral face. Kai was smiling behind me along with Tom and I was sitting next to Marco and HP. "I think so. Also anything new about the new season? It's getting steamy between chatacters. Also I totally ship Ryder and stella." I faked a giggle as Kai laughed. "Really?" He asked as Ash nods. "Yeah. I tend to like new characters. I have a problem." She laughs as we watched her. "Marco, your movie is coming out soon right?"

Marco nods as he clears his throat. "Yes. It's coming out this summer." Ash had a smirk. I know where this is going. "Seems you got along with your colleagues. Especially the lead." Okay I'm getting upset. I bit my bottom lip trying hard not to be obvious. I looked up and noticed Tom shake his head as he held a smile. Kai did the same. "Ah yeah. We're just friends." Ash smiles. "Just friends? You two seem to be close on set. We saw pictures of you two together. Are you sure?" I wanted to tackle her. "Yeah just friends. We became close in the shooting since we had to get comfortable with each other. Also she had a partner so it was better to see her as a friend." I looked at the floor avoiding eye contact. "Well alright. Star you seem quiet? Are you still shooting your other series?" I took a deep breath. "Yeah. We still are waiting for next season if there is any. So I'm not sure."

She looks at me oddly. She looks at Marco who seems to be out of it. "Alright. Kai we noticed you gotten closer with some of your cast members." He nods. "Yeah. I'm really close with Tom and Star." He Pat's my shoulder as I smile at him. "They have been treating me like I'm part of their group. Also Hecka is like a cool older sister." HP smiles at him as she smirks. "Yeah it's pretty fun having these kids around. I'm never bored." We laughed as it calmed me a bit "that's so good. Are you guys gonna be permanent in the series? Seems you two are fan favorites." The chuckled. "Well that's up to the director and creator of the show. I wouldn't mind but I still have my other series too." She nods. "That's good. Alright I've been dancing around and being nice. Now time to spill tea."

I was gonna lose it. "Is anyone dating?" We all looked at each other. Marco looked at me as I looked at him. I don't want anyone to know yet. "Tom? Have you and star eventually go on that date?" He chuckles. "Yeah. We did but we just didnt click. Guess it means we'll be friends." I felt guilty cause its true. "Kai? Like anyone?" He shook his head. "I did awhile back but it's gone." My heart hurt s bit hearing that from him. I broke his heart and I didnt mean to. He knew what i wanted. "Marco?" He shrugs. "Nope. I've been on my own since my break up. I don't want to focus on finding a new relationship." Good answer Marco. "Star. Now you." I shake my head. "No. After my date with Tom I didnt want to try again. Sorry to disappoint." Ash looked annoyed but brushed it off. "Aw I wanted some juicy tea. Guess I have to wait a whole year again" good. Wait for it.

"That was so frustrating! Why does she always have to do that?" I say as almost get to the dressing rooms back stage. Tom put his hands in his pockets as Kai did the same. "Its her job. It's what host do. You should know that. Also a little heads up with you dating marco on the low." Marco stood closer "Hey knock it off. We all have to chill." Tom came closer towards him. "Star doesnt deserve you Diaz. She cried over you when you were Jackie. She even felt sad when you were away filming your movie. Hell you took forever to just return her feelings! What makes you so sure that you are a good match for her?" Marco glared at him as they were too close.

"Hey stop!" Hecka stepped between to push the boys away. "Everyone needs to chill. Seems everyone is feeling tense with the relationship that's going on. Y'all need to calm the fuck down and talk it out like adults. Serious little ass kids is what I work with." She had a point. "Alright! I admit that I am at fault but can you guys blame me? I finally get to be in a relationship with someone I really like. You guys are just mad cause its neither of you." The guys looked away as i took a deep breath. "You guys need to support me no matter what. If you are truly my friends then act like it. If you are feeling bitter about this then don't speak to me. Just know you're losing a trusting friend." I say pouting as they looked guilty. "Whatever." Tom said as he sat on the couch as Marco sat on the stool as I stood there looking at Kai and Hecka. "Did you guys understand or do I have to repeat?" They shook their heads. "Good." I sat down as well as I wish this day could end.

I was finally home with Marco as we relaxed in my backyard on the swing. He's been quiet since the show with Ash. Since all the guys were gonna fight and stuff. I hope he doesnt regret dating me now. "Star..was all that true? What Tom said?" I blushed as I looked down at our feet. "Partly.." I said softly. "Why didnt you tell me?" I shrugged. "I was probably afraid of your answer honestly. Like what would you do or say?" He sighs. "Why me?" I shrug. "I guess I just like how kind and gentle you are towards me. I like having fun with you and doing stuff. Like going to beach and movies and all that stuff. I guess I started to picture how it would be like being in a relationship with you. I guess I was too caught up in my head."

He grabbed my hand as he looked at me. "I kinda knew? In some weird way. I noticed how much clinger you would he with me. Also when you get jealous whenever I was with Jackie. It was odd but I started to connect the dots. If I'm honest the reason why Jackie broke up with me was she was afraid of losing me to someone else. Also we barely had time to see each other cause of our schedules. I guess you can say I started to fall for you as well. I know that sounds terrible but it's the truth. If I'm honest I believe that Kai or even Tom could have treated you right." I pulled my hand away as I pout. "So you're saying I should date someone else who isn't you?" He stays silent.

"Star I think it's better we stay friends for now. I feel like you need to experience being in a relationship with someone else to be able to understand how relationships work. As much as I hate the idea I think it's best. I'll be here for you when you need me. I promise." I wanted to cry but he was right. I don't understand how relationships work. Also I didn't give tom a chance. Or even Kai. Maybe I should tell them what Marco told me. "So you wouldn't care if I start dating Tom or Kai?" He shook his head. "No. I won't necessarily like the idea but I think it's best to get a feel and understanding of how some relationships work." I sigh. "What if I like one of them more than you?" He smiles.

"Then I wasn't the one you love. See this is why you needed to go out with someone before me. You won't understand some things. Like I said I'll be here waiting for you to come back." He held my face as he leaned and kissed me one last time. This really sucks but I need to make sure I don't like the others first. I know deep down I really love marco but I'm inexperienced to feel or understand. "I'll be heading home. I'll see you at set as friends." I nodded. "Yeah. See you Marco." He got up from the swing and left and I felt empty. I'm back to being alone again. Great.
