a/n- This is kind of based on a dream I had which I think was kind of inspired by a movie I saw years ago, but can't remember the name of it.

'That idiot...' You thought to yourself as you sat on the bench in the smoking area of the restaurant/hotel. Your boyfriend of a year just broke up with you over a phone call. You actually loved him so much and he just dumped you as if you meant nothing to him. You just blocked his phone number, bought some cigarettes and started smoking and feeling sad outside.

After you started smoking you felt the smoky smell sink into your lungs and you felt as if you could smile again. Well, until you heard voices coming from behind the corner of the building on the right of you.

You were sat in a smoking area of a super fancy building. You only went there because of your job, but you really wished you never went and left your now ex boyfriend at home. The area was quiet and had a few benches in it, a fire pit with an ashtray on the edge of it and lots of bushes with little yellow flowers growing on them. The bench you were currently sat on was the type you'd see in a park with a dead persons name engraved onto it. The wood it was made out was warn and grey by now, but it still was sturdy.

"I know, I'll tell her. G was so weird last night, I nearly-" The mans voice stopped as he walked around the corner and see you sat there alone with only a cigarette to keep you company. "Shh, lads. I'll meet you lot upstairs in 10, let me have a smoke first." The men he was with agreed and left. The man lit a blunt and walked towards you. The burst of light from his lighter surprised you. You smiled and nodded at him as he walked closer. "Hey." He said while sitting down.

"Hiya." You said. You instantly knew who he was, but you couldn't care less right now.

"Had a bad day?" He asked.

"Something like that."

"Sorry, but... maybe you need to smoke something a little stronger. I have weed if you want it."

"No thanks, I try to stay away of that stuff." You confessed and he agreed. "May I vent to you?"

"Sure."

"My stupid boyfriend just dumped me over a phone call."

"Damn, what a low blow."

"Init. Is it my fault? Like do I look like a loser whose unlovable?"

The man stared at you for a moment. "Not really. You seem pretty sweet to be fair. The thing to remember is heartbreak doesn't last forever and your right guy is out there somewhere."

"Sounds stupid."

"Yeah, but it's true."

Your cigarette burned out so you finished it off then threw it onto the floor and stepped on it. "I better get going, see you later, Mr Depp." This actually made you smile.

"Hmm, your name, dear?"

"Y/N."

"Great, see you tomorrow."

Some time passed and you were now at the bar. The inside area was on two levels. One ground floor was the regular area which had lots of seating area and loads of people shouting and doing drunk people things. The upstairs balcony part that looked over the ground floor was more of an elite area with richer people in it, you didn't know how, but you someone got up there and started ordering drinks for yourself.

"Two shots of vodka, please." You told the barman and he poured them for you. You paid for them then downed them both. "Another two, please."

It took quite a while before you noticed how drunk you'd gotten. It didn't take long after that to realise some of the people that were near you. CELEBRITIES!!!! There were people like; Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow and Harrison Ford. A few of them were staring at you, a few gave you some sympathetic looks, but mostly they ignored you. The only thing that broke the awkward silence of you staring at random actors was when the doors to the right of you swung open and Johnny Depp (the guy from earlier) came strolling in with some of his mates. He instantly saw you and speeded over to you.
