A/N: Some info: H&H means Hugs & Hearts. My friend who goes to a different school now thought of it. In earlier chapters I wrote it out. I also just thought I'd tell you guys where my inspiration for this story came from. Several days ago, I was lying on my bed thinking about stuff it'd be fun to do when I was older. I love drama so I'd be so happy to be an actress even though it's a lot of work. I also want an education so in my fantasy, I was a nationally known actress who disguised herself, went to collage, and fell in love and then I'm like "Wouldn't that be an awesome story?!" so here I am writing where my idea came from. And do, I haven't read any books related to it but I have heard of them.

So enjoy this really long sad chapter and review!

THE NOT SO SECRET LIFE OF A HOLLYWOOD STARLET

Chapter 7

BPOV

"We are not seeing that movie!" I yelled at Alice.

"Why not?" she asked innocently.

I pursed my lips and crossed my arms. "Because. I'm in it and I don't want you to feel like you have to see it just because I'm here."

She rolled her eyes. "C'mon Bella. We're not going to watch it because you're here. We're going to watch it because it's good."

"Well than I'm going back to the dorms. It's already eleven and Jess will probably wake me up at six – and that's her being nice."

"Bella, I don't think you want to argue with Alice. She'll just drag you in the theater," Rose warned.

"I won't just drag you into the theater, Bella. I will drag you in there by your hair and you hair just happens to be covered by a wig…" Alice threatened.

I sighed. "Fine."

She smiled and dragged Rose and me to where Edward and Emmett were waiting in line.

After letting Edward pay for my ticket much to my frustration, we were seated in the theater with previews playing. Emmett was shoving popcorn and candy into his mouth silently on my right with Rose at his right. Edward, who was on my left, was watching the previews with a bouncing Alice on his left while I shrunk back into my seat.

Suddenly, I heard my voice blasting over the speakers.

"What do want?" my speaker voice said.

"You," Jacob's said back in a husky whisper.

I looked at the screen. It was playing a commercial for Forever.

"What if you can't have me?"

"I'll do anything and everything to have you."

From the corner of my eye, I could see Edward clenching the arm rests and he had his jaw clenched. He was glaring at the Jacob on the screen. That's a bit weird…

The picture on the screen changed to me slowly pulling back from a kiss with Jacob. The taste of him came back to the mouth and I needed something to drink badly.

"Edward?" I asked quietly.

He turned to face me.

"Do you mind if I take a sip of your drink?" I bit my lip. I have to admit, it was a weird request to ask someone you just met several hours ago but I trusted him somehow.

"No, not at all." He gestured to his drink in the armrest drink holder.

I smiled gratefully and grabbed the soda. I hesitantly put my lips to the straw and took a sip.

Mmm…

Somehow, the coke tasted different but even more delicious. I stopped sipping but chewed on the straw. It had that same different taste that the coke had. It tasted like…everything good. It tasted like…Edward.

I practically choked on my spit right then attracting many curious stares.

"I'm okay," I told my friends. I placed Edward's drink back into the drink holder.

They hesitantly looked back to the movie.

When I woke up, I realized that the room was much brighter than it should be for six am. I sat up straight. "Where's that stupid, stupid phone?"

"Morning Bella!" Rose called.

I rubbed my eyes and followed the sounds Rose was making.

I found myself in the kitchen where Alice, a handsome blonde, Emmett and Edward were seated at a table. Rose was cooking in front of the stove humming to softly herself.

I checked what I was wearing – short pajama pants with pink lace trim and a matching pink shirt also trimmed with lace – and blushed at my lack of clothes. "Morning everyone," I mumbled and quickly took a seat in between Emmett and Blonde Dude.

The blonde guy smiled kindly at me and made me feel a little less embarrassed. "Hi, I'm Jasper, Alice's boyfriend. I've heard so much about you."

I shot Alice a playful glare but shook Jasper's hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm Bella."

He nodded. "I already know."

"Breakfast's ready!" Rose called. She put plates stacked with muffins, pancakes, waffles, sausages, bacon, toast, eggs, and fruit on the table with the help of Emmett.

We all immediately dug in and my gosh it tasted good – especially since I always have a breakfast that consists of a Starbucks drink and pastry.

"Does anyone know where my blackberry is?" I asked after finishing a blueberry muffin.

"Do you mean your stupid phone that woke me up at five-thirty this morning?" Rose asked happily.

"Um… I'm assuming."

"I turned it off," she said nonchalantly.

"You WHAT?!" I shrieked.

"I…turned it off?" she said, making it sound like a question.

"Deep breaths," I told myself. "I'm sorry Rose. It's just that Jess is sooo going to kill me now." I winced thinking of the last time I turned my phone off.

"I already talked to her. She told me to tell you that you had interviews and stuff today…I don't know what. Hold on – I wrote it on a piece of paper." She walked over to the island that had my said blackberry on it. "Um…you have a interview with some guy named Jeff Perkins at nine – that's in an hour. You have an autograph signing at the movie theater at eleven! Then at one you can go to lunch with us – according to Jessica. Then you have to attend some event here at Kemper Hall until four. Then you're done."

"It could be worse," I mumbled to myself. I was still baffled by how fast she booked up my schedule.

"You've had worse than that?" Edward asked.

I nodded yawning. "Yeah. The busiest I've ever been was not too long ago when I had to wake up at four in the morning and went to sleep at one that night."

"I remember that!" Emmett swallowed the food witch he just talked through. "You looked like a zombie when you came to visit me that week." He then pulled at the bags under his eyes.

I took my spoon and smacked it against his temple.

"Ow… That hurt."

I rolled my eyes and ate the delicious food set in front of me.

I walked onto the stage over to a big char across from Jeff Perkins. Fans screamed and whistled while lights blinded and cameras recorded.

"Hello Bella! Welcome to the show! It's so good to finally meet you!" Jeff said happily.

"It's nice to meet you, too." I leaned out of the chair to shake his hand. Over his shoulder I could see a giddy Alice and Rosalie with Edward, Jasper, and Emmett. Edward met my gaze and winked.

I giggled into my hand and waved to him.

He smiled widely and waved back.

"So Bella…you just finished shooting Forever. How does it feel to be finished shooting and waiting for the premiere?" Jeff asked.

"It feels great. I've had my fun on and off set but I'm glad I don't have to be shooting anything at the moment."

He nodded. "There've been rumors that you and Jacob Black are dating. Is it true?"

I shook my head vigorously. "No. We're only on a…friend basis."

"So if it isn't Jacob you like, then who is your crush?" Jeff leaned forward in anticipation.

My eyes bugged and my cheeks lit on fire. I was not going to answer that question with him RIGHT THERE! "Um…I, ah, don't have one?" I asked as if it was a question giving away the lie.

Jeff smiled mischievously. "Who is it?"

I stared horrified at him. He was going to force it out of me. "I refuse to name him at this point in time," I said business-like.

Jeff pouted. I was starting to think that he was gay. "We want to know. Will you tell us?"

The crowd cheered in agreement.

"Well…" And then words came rushing out my mouth like water coming out of a facet. "I met him the other day. He's sweet and charming and handsome. He's just…perfect. And I hardly know him but I feel so strongly for him and I can't get him out of my head. But, I think I'm invisible to him." I thought back to how Edward seemed to be sweet and caring to me just like he seemed to be with Alice, his sister. So that means that he only thinks of me like a sister.

The crowd awed.

"I don't think you're invisible to anyone, honey."

All the guys in the audience yeahed in agreement.

I smiled sadly but shook my head. "No. He'll never see me as anything more than a friend – I can tell."

"Aw. Come here." Jeff held his arms open.

I laughed and hugged him.

Jeff pulled our microphones away from his mouth and whispered in my ear. "Bella, any guy would be lucky to have you. You are smart, beautiful, and talented – remember that."

I wiped away the tears when we pulled back and smiled at him. 'Thanks' I mouthed.

Jeff nodded and smiled. "Well, it was nice to meet you Bella." He shook my hand once again and I hurried off to backstage.

"Are you okay?" Alice asked.

I nodded and accepted her hug. Soon Rose joined in followed by Jasper and Emmett. Edward stood there awkwardly with an upset expression on his face – half angry and half sad.

We soon left and squeezed into the cars. I sat in Alice's car with Alice and Rose while the boys took Emmett's car to the movie theater.

"So…who is he?" Alice asked.

"Who's who?"

"You know who. The guy you said you liked," Rose said from shotgun.

I bit my lip and hesitated.

"Just tell us!" Alice whined.

"Well…"

Alice gasped happily. "Rose!" she whispered. Alice turned the radio on and talked to Rose so I couldn't hear it at all.

Rose turned to me with a smile once the radio was off again. "Bella! Why didn't you tell us?"

"Because I've only been here since yesterday?" I tried. "And anyway, who do you think it is?"

"Edward, of course," Alice said cheerfully.

"Please don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry about it," Rose assured me.

"I think you should ask him out," Alice chirped.

"What?! Why?" I asked, horrified.

"Well, it's obvious he likes you," Rose said it as is she was commenting on her nails.

"You can't be serious."

"You don't believe us?" Alice asked sadly.

"No, no! I do believe you guys…it's just… How could someone so smart and caring and charming and handsome and…perfect like him, want a plain, uninteresting person like me?"

"Fine. Be stubborn," Alice huffed.

EPOV (Edward's Point of View)

"How could a beautiful, sweet, kind perfect movie star like her want a nobody like me?" I asked miserably from the backseat of Emmett's car.

Jasper turned to look at me with incredulous eyes. "You've got to be kidding me."

"What? It's obvious that she already like someone," I mumbled. During the interview, Bella talked about the guy she liked. She said that she though she was invisible to that lucky boy. Jealousy burned inside of me and I wanted to rip this guy apart. He doesn't give her enough attention and also, it would make me feel a hell of a lot better.

"Dude, she's my sister. I know that she likes you, too," Emmett put in.

I sighed. "Whatever," I whispered. I rested my head on the cool glass of the window as rain started to pour down on the gray cloudy city blurring my view out the window. I touched the window with my fingertips. The cool glass was smooth to the touch.

My heart felt dead. Dead and cold. Just like this city. Just like my life. I felt dead and cold. Nothing felt like it mattered.

Except Bella. She mattered. She mattered a lot. Just the thought of her brought a spark of warmth and life to my miserable self.

She mattered.
