TWO YEARS AGO:

"y/n all you ever do is work! it's always work this, and work that! you haven't even landed a proper role since you've finished school!" he screamed loudly, the entire room echoing. "just because i haven't landed a role, doesn't mean i have to be less passionate or stop trying!"

"are you sure about that? how many roles have you auditioned for? 7? and not a single call telling you you've landed it?" his eyebrow cocked up. he was right, but he also didn't understand the acting world like you did.

"so what? they were HUGE fucking roles colby, disney roles and DC characters! it takes so many fails to have one success in this industry, when did you stop supporting me?" "i stopped supporting you the second you made it clear that i could never mean as much to you as your job."

"as if you don't do the same thing! your job means the world to you, you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for it or your fans! you don't see me complaining about it do you?" you were exhausted, tired of the constant fighting that's gone on for the last six months.

"that's exactly my point! you don't complain because you're too preoccupied to care! you never ask me to go out on dates anymore!" "the last times i've asked you out on a date you've ditched me! for a youtube video! so don't even pull that!"

you sighed heavily, wanting this to be over. "you know what, since you don't want to support me, i'm done. you can stay here, filming your youtube videos and having so much success, but i can't keep fighting for a broken relationship if you're not gonna try and be civil with me about something i love."

"that's fine, yeah. have fun on your little tangent, don't come crawling back to me when you're broke due to the fact that you haven't landed a fucking role." his voice was laced with the most venom you've ever heard expel from his lips. "oh don't worry, i won't."

A YEAR AND A HALF AGO:

"y/n l/n lands huge role in spider-man 4! here's what the new up and coming actress has said about this amazing opportunity..."

the words were loud and clear on colby's phone screen. he kept rereading the article titles over and over again, it was the major talk of the town at the moment. for a split second, colby felt the pang in his chest.

why didn't he support you? you would've gotten a role eventually, it just had to be at the right time. you're talented and he knows that, so why the fuck didn't he just suck it up and be by your side? he was asking himself so many questions.

tears welled to his eyes because he was proud, but also because he knew he fucked up forever. he was selfish and because he couldn't put his needs aside for a while, you're gone. and hell, you're as successful as ever now.

he wanted to talk to you. he needed to talk to you. but he knew well enough that you didn't want to talk to him.

PRESENT DAY:

you were standing outside of the interview room with zendaya, jacob, and tom. "so, your first press tour! how're you feeling?" his british accent rang in your ears, causing a smile to reach your cheeks. "i'm definitely nervous, i don't want to make a fool of myself." you slightly giggled.

he smiles softly, his hand on your arm. "you're gonna do great. you're one of the best people i've ever met, don't let it stress you out. just remember, i'm in the next room if you need me." your smile immediately got bigger.
