I scrolled through the comments under the Instagram post announcing that I'd be portraying Aurora. With a sigh, I set my phone down.

My account was private for a reason; I couldn't even begin to imagine the kind of hate I'd get if it were public.

It had been an hour since I'd gotten back from the studio, and the soreness in my body was a reminder of how hard I'd been working. It was so bad that standing for a shower was out of the question, so I opted for a hot bath instead.

Dinner was simple—nothing fancy. I hadn't had time to go grocery shopping over the weekend, so I cut up some fruit, plopped down on the couch, and mindlessly scrolled through Instagram.

That's when I noticed it. Zayn had liked the Westwood Ballet post. The memory of our conversation the other night then hit me.

"It seems like everyone knows except you," his words echoed in my head, and I scoffed aloud. The nerve.

He knew nothing about me. He didn't understand me then, and I didn't plan on giving him the chance to now. He wasn't worth the space in my mind, and yet... here I was, letting him linger.

I pushed the thought of him aside, refusing to let it consume me any longer. My mind was scattered enough as it was—I needed to refocus.

Getting up from the couch, I wandered into my bedroom. My gaze landed on my sketchpad, resting on the desk. Without a second thought, I grabbed it and made my way to the bed. Maybe creating something would help the storm in my head.
