**Belle's P.O.V**

I cleaned my makeup up, and made my self look natural again. My eyes were no longer red, instead the tan color of my skin. I walked out and finished my day strong. Making sure to smile. I tried to stay strong through out dinner and homework. But as I was doing my Global Studies homework, me and my mom's song came on. "All I am, is a man" the words came softly through my speakers. All of the memories of us raced through my head.

The song was done and my face was tear stained. I opened up my window and climbed onto the roof, making sure to grab my phone and headphones. I sat on my roof, in a ball crying until the late hours. I thought maybe the fall air would calm me don, or maybe the stars, but it only made it worse. I looked down to see someone sitting on the sidewalk. I couldn't tell if he was looking at me, or at the stars. But he was looking upwards. It scared me, but I didn't move.

"I'm sorry I took your book away" Louis set the book in front of me. I didn't respond. "Belle?" I put down my pencil and looked up at him. "Why were you crying?" That took my by surprise.

"I wasn't" I stated simply stated, I don't know why he thought he did. Unless he was... No he wasn't the boy from the street. "Thanks for my book" I tried to make my smile look genuine.

"No problem. I felt sort of bad for making you upset about it." His apology wasn't sincere, but it was nice he at least tried. He took a seat in front of me. "C-can you read some to me?" I was a bit taken back by his question.

"I have to finish my homework, maybe some other time" He nodded.

"Okay" I went back to doing my homework. "Belle" I was interrupted again. I looked up a bit annoyed.

"What?" I let the annoyance get to my voice, unintentionally.

"Sorry, when are you available? Wh-when is some other time?" I shook my head.

"I don't know." I went back to doing homework, he continued to ramble and I answered with 'mhm, uhu, cool'

Notes

Well. Do you think she will keep up with her deal?
