It's time for another update. Ok everyone I do not own BTR at all, just Arianna, Staci, her brother Phillip and her father.

"I woke up to the sound of my phone vibrating of my nightstand. Who in their right mind calls someone at five a.m.? That person would be James. I wanted so badly to just ignore his phone call, but I didn't. I slowly reached for the phone and pushed answer.

"Hello," I said groggily.

"Good morning sunshine. Are you ready to go to work?" James said sounding way too pleased about something.

"No am I supposed to be ready to go?"

"Well yeah. I'm outside waiting for you. I thought maybe you'd like to carpool?"

"You're such a looser. It's way too early for this. And who told you where I live?"

"It's not too early. Filming starts at 5:30 this morning, Arianna. Your friend Staci is the one with the big mouth so yell at her for it."

"Gosh I love you," I said looking out the window and seeing him standing there.

It wasn't long before I changed out of my pajamas, ran a brush through my hair, and was out by James. I found it sweet that he picked me up for work.

"And Arianna I love you too," he said kissing me lightly. "I didn't want you driving all the way to set yourself like you did yesterday if you didn't get any sleep. Honestly I'm worried about you."

"I slept last night. Really I did. I was waiting for the nightmare and it never happened!"

"That's great," James said with a smile. "But you're still riding to work with me."

"You do know the guys will never let us live this down?"

"Oh I know that. I really don't care what they think though. I mean what does their opinion matter?"

"It doesn't. I just don't want you to get into a fight with them. After all they are your friends."

"You always think of others don't you Arianna?"

"Of course I do, James. I always put others first," I said getting out of the car.

Moments later James had his arms wrapped around me. He took me by surprise. It was a good surprise, like when you haven't seen someone in ages and you meet them walking down the street. I looked up at his smiling face. Then and there I knew he didn't care what anyone thought. He was happier than well I really don't know. But I do know I was just as happy as he was standing there in his arms.

"Would you just kiss me already," I said.

"I was just waiting for you to ask," James said pressing his lips onto mine and pulled away slowly. "But I wasn't waiting much longer if you didn't."

I kept my eyes locked on his until our moment was ruined.

"Aww look at you two. Isn't it cute," Carlos said.

"Kiss my ass, Carlos," I said.

"I'd love to," Carlos replied.

I just sighed and walked away. He just had to ruin my moment with James. Of course it was better him than Kendall. There's a feeling deep inside my gut that is telling me Kendall doesn't want me to be with James. I wouldn't know that now since Carlos went and ruined my day.

"You're a dick," James shouted at Carlos before he ran to my side.

"I'm so sorry Arianna. Carlos is well he's a…"

"Don't you dare curse again James? I hated when I did it and I certainly do not want to hear you say one again. I don't like foul language. It's something I only use when I'm angry. Carlos he made me angry," I said burrowing my face into his shirt.

"I wasn't going to. Ok yeah I was going to call him something involving a curse word."

"Thank you for not saying something awful again. I really just want to go and punch him so hard right now," I said. I could feel my face turning red with anger and walked inside to forget about Carlos's stupid comment. "I'm going to go get ready. I'll see you soon."

I walked into my dressing room plopped down on the couch and began to sob quietly. There was no way I was letting James see me cry again or anyone else for that matter. Things were just starting to get better, the nightmares died down, James was my boyfriend, and my brother was in California with my dad and me. But now everything had to go downhill again. You can't go up without coming back down and it sucked. I threw one of the pillows on the floor and screamed into the other. Quick note to self screaming into a pillow does not muffle screaming at that well.

"Hey what's up," Logan asked peering into the room.

"Nothing just angry," I replied.

"You look pretty upset. What's wrong?" he said sitting down next to me.

"A lot of stuff is wrong. I shouldn't even be here. I should be back in Pennsylvania in college or something. I'm not supposed to be here. I'm not an actress or a singer. I'm just a small town girl who happens to have influential parents. And I certainly am not good enough to be dating James."

"Arianna now you're just being silly. You do belong here. You've got more talent in one finger than most of the people out here. I'm not lying to you either. And for you and James, that boy loves you to death. Why do you think he picked you up this morning? It was an excuse for him to spend more time with you. Carlos is just a jealous idiot. Forget what he said and just have fun being yourself."

"Nothing's going right though. I know I should be happy with what I've got. But I'm not. I've been performing for as long as I can remember sometimes I wish I could just take a time off from it and get away from everyone."

"Everything is going right. All of this was supposed to happen to you Arianna. You were given all of this because you can handle it. You're an amazing person, I'm glad I know you and don't you dare give up."

"Thanks Logan," I said giving him a hug. "I really needed that."

"No problem, you're like my little sister. If there's one thing you should know is this cast is like a family and you're part of it. Whether you like it or not this is your family too."

"Once again thank you Logan. You should probably go get ready," I sighed.

"Yeah you're right. I'll see you soon."

The scenes I was in seemed to go by quickly. I found myself being happy for that. I was still angry with Carlos over his little comment. Why would he say something like "I'd love to."? Especially with James standing right next to me. I tuned them all out during filming even though my character was talking directly to them at times.

I walked back to my dressing room but heard someone saying my name. I turned around to find Carlos and Kendall walking toward me.

"Arianna I just want to tell you I'm sorry for what I said this morning. I didn't mean to piss you off or anything. In all honesty I was joking," Carlos said.

"I forgive you, but it was way too early to joke around about something like that. And James was standing right there. Are you a freaking moron," I said.

"Yeah I am a moron," Carlos said fairly loud.

"We know that, Carlos," Kendall sighed. I could tell he really wanted to get out of the situation. It was obvious he felt awkward being around me now that the truth was out. He's been acting strange ever since he told me he liked me. I knew he couldn't stand me being with James, but it wasn't like I was just going to magically be his.

"Well I've gotta go change. James and I are going for ice cream, before he takes me home. So I'll see you tomorrow," I told them.

I walked into my dressing room and quickly changed into my jeans and t-shirt I showed up in today. I didn't really care what I looked like around James. He's almost seen me at my worst so I was ok with being in jeans and a t-shirt.

"Are you ready to go?" James said when I met him outside.

"Of course I am. What girl doesn't want to hang out with James Maslow of all people?"

"And what guy doesn't want to take Arianna Walker out for ice cream. I must be the luckiest man alive," James said opening the car door for me.

"That's what you think," I said sitting down in the car. "And thank you for opening the door for me. You're such a sweetheart."

We arrived at the little ice cream shop and walked inside. Instantly I knew James was happy to be there with me. It was difficult hiding from the paparazzi but if I were to be plastered on the front page of some tabloid I'd want it to be with James. My face was always on those silly things, I didn't care. Let them make up a story at least I knew the truth. Then I noticed it wasn't us they were snapping photos of we were just caught up in someone else's moment of fame.

"I do not like paparazzi they're so mean," I said sitting down at the table with my strawberry banana soft serve ice cream.

"Yeah but some people just eat it up. They think it betters their career," James said sitting in the seat across from me.

"In some cases it does," I said to him. "It helped me a lot. You know the last time I had ice cream like this was back home at an amusement park."

"We should go there sometime," James said watching the people walk in and out of the little store.

"What am I not interesting?"

"No I just have other things on my mind. Arianna why me?"

"I don't know what you're talking about James."

"Why did you pick me over Kendall? You were all googily-eyed over him last week."

"I didn't choose you, you chose me."

"I don't get it though. You could have any guy in Hollywood Arianna. Any guy at all and you choose me."

"This isn't going to end is it," I said leaning in to kiss him. "James you're different. A very good different. Stop downing yourself." He was still pretty upset and believing he wasn't good enough. "Please James. For me."

"Fine, but only for you," he said through a fake smile. "You ready to go home?"

"No, but I guess I should go home. I can't stay out all night with you, well I can but it probably wouldn't do me any good."

James dropped me off and kissed me goodbye.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow then," he asked.

"If you feel the need to," I said.

"I'll be here," James said before pulling away.

Thank you so much for reading. Please review and keep reading Arianna's story, I'm sure she would like it if you did.
