Taylor and I stepped off the plane and smiled as the sun shone on our exposed shoulders.

"Ooh that's feels good!" I said happily making everyone laugh.

"Girls, we're going to get in the limo at the front of the airport and then we are heading straight for the studio!" We nodded at the security guard and we were ushered through the crowds, however we did sign a few jackets and stuff.

As soon as we had avoided the paparazzi who were mainly screaming about me and Darren, we slumped into the cool interior of the limo. We had ten minutes until we got there so Taylor and I decided to put on the Tv.

Just my luck, the first thing that came up was Glee. And it was the episode were basically it was just Blaine.

Taylor quickly turned it over but even more unfortunate, it was on the news channel that was also talking about Darren. She screamed at the TV and turned it off. We looked at each and burst out laughing, of course that would have happened.

We finally reached the studio and shoving paparazzi out our way, we met up with Demi, Selena and Miley. They squealed when they saw the two of us and they hugged us and we all had a group hug.

"So first things first," Miley started turning to me with a serious expression. "Is this whole Darren thing true?" Taylor looked down at her shoes and I nodded awkwardly.

"100% true." The girls mouth all formed oh shapes but they knew not to ask anymore.

We all walked into the studio and the lyrics were handed out.

I smiled. "I though it was an original song?"

Demi smacked my head. "This is one of mine and you know that."

Demi had picked out give your heart a break for us to sing and record, along with I Knew You Were Trouble and Hit The Lights.

We sang the three songs, and then all of us, (minus Miley because she had to go somewhere with Liam Hemsworth) went shopping.

Our first stop was Hollister and surprisingly they had the shirtless Hollister models standing outside the shop. We all got our photos with them and they seemed happier than we were if that was possible!

We left the shop with a few bags, and our other stops included Vans and Converse.

I had found a pair of Grinch converse in the Converse shop so I was hyper. We all eventually sat down at a small Starbucks we passed. Demi and I sat at a table as Selena and Taylor ordered our hot chocolates.

I heard my phone ping so I took it out my pocket to notice I had a new tweet. I felt the blood drain from my face as I read it. Demi noticed and squeezed my hand from across the table making me look at her.

What's worse is the tweet because it was Darren had almost fifteen thousand retweets, and I knew everyone who cared was waiting on y response. I didn't want to ask management so I just went ahead and replied.

'@CiaraTheHelson: @DarrenCriss we have nothing to talk about and you know that.'

Demi looked at it and hugged me, the tears starting to stream down my face. Once Taylor and Selena got back with our drinks, Demi explained it to them all. My phone vibrated and Demi read the text out.

"It's from your management. They say they have given up on publicity so you can do whatever you want from now on as long as you keep recording." I looked at the text and sure enough it was right. They'd obviously made enough money on me.

We all walked through the paparazzi to the car, but one really small girl was getting crushed by them. I stopped the three other girls and turned around.

I bent down to the girl and asked her why she was with all the paparazzi.

"Mummy said I could ask for a photo!" She said excited I was actually talking to her. The other girls came over, and I managed to find a kind paparazzi who would take the photo for us in return for me answering a question.

The girl thanked us and hurried off to her mum. The man smiled kindly at me. "So about that question?" I gulped and nodded. He turned on his camera.

"So Ciara Helson, did you and Darren Criss break up?" I stared at the camera for a moment.

"Yeah, yeah we did. Everything you've seen is what I've seen. He cheated you know?" The man thanked me and let me go because after all he had got breaking celebrity news.

We drove back to my flat. I waved goodbye to the girls as I unlocked my door. I walked in and set my suitcase back in my room. I heard a padding noise and looked down to see my tortoise munching on lettuce.

Wait, my tortoise? I don't have a tortoise. I stopped and stared at it, picking it up and sticking it into the guest room for the now.

I turned on the TV and watched The Vow, with me crying all the way throughout. I wasn't crying because of the movie though, I was crying because of the whole Darren thing.

I felt my phone vibrate and I looked down to see a text from Naya.

'From: Naya

To: Ciara

I'm coming to stay at yours, house just collapsed. You told me so.'

Naya lived in a really unstable house and we knew it was collapsing soon, so the plan b was she came and lived with me.

I turned on the TV to see darren this morning in London.

"I just want Ciara to know that I'm sorry and so shouldn't have done it."
