Breaking All the Rules

Part 6

That summer is the most beautiful summer I can remember. I meet with the girls and finally tell them about Shawn and how it all began. They can hardly believe it, and I tell them that sometimes I don't believe it either. Everyone is really happy and the only one of us missing is Harmony. I text her later but she doesn't respond. The other girls haven't seen her in awhile and I start to worry, but think nothing of it.

When the music video comes out, Lilli tells me to "re-gram" a picture the artists put on his instagram. He tags me in and I repost it. "Lilli, why can't you just say repost-- who says regram?" I laugh. The picture is flooded with comments and a couple days later I realize the whole world thinks we're dating. This is so far from the truth and the artists seems to be encouraging these rumors. He posts more pictures of us from set that make us look friendlier than we are. I'm visibly annoyed and I post a picture of Shawn and I. His face isn't really visible, but the artist in question has blonde hair, therefor it's clear in the picture the man I'm kissing isn't him. I caption it "The boyfriend".  The video is still successful and all in all, it's a win. I don't know how I feel about taking any more acting jobs and specifically about doing 12 takes of kissing, but I still agree to do photo shoots.

I get an ad campaign for Guess and the guy I do the photoshoot doesn't speak a lick of English but he's very nice. I also learn he's gay which makes me more at ease.
