REAL LIFE
Rue kept her head down for a while. She focused on starting work on the mandalorian, her friends, her dad and herself. Rue didn't have the energy for the tabloids or social media. She was receiving all kinds of hate and death threats from Sebastian's fans, and they didn't find out who leaked to the press the ongoing investigation. Rue felt like she was getting whiplash from her own life, the highs and the lows and the even lower lows, it was all to much and she felt like she was drowning.
Pedro knew she wasn't in the best place. He was constantly reassuring her and checking up on her while they were at work, and even if she didn't want to see anybody they would text or talk on the phone all night. They were really falling for each other, more than they'd like to admit. They were caught by the paparazzi going on dates but there was no label for them yet.
After Rue's dad found out what happened to her, he practically insisted that she flys home for a while as soon as she can, and after one more day on set she had 10 days off so she thought she'd go to England and see her dad for it. She figured the time away would do her good and she'd really benefit from being with her dad in the countryside.

REAL LIFE
Rue opened her trailer door and saw Pedro standing with a bag of take out food in half mandalorian clothing. She laughed at him as he juggled the food and drinks in his hand as she let him in.
"I'm not gonna lie, I already ate mine because I was starving and I can't stay cause I have to go to makeup, but I got you dinner. And I wanted to see you before you go" he blushed.
"That's very sweet of you, thank you" Rue smiled as she placed the food down.
"Are you really sure you have to fly home tomorrow?" He pouted as he held her waist.
"I need to go and see my dad, I know he's worried about me. And I need to get out of LA, it'll do me good" Rue exhaled. "It's only 10 days"
Pedro lightly kissed her lips, "I know, I'm just gonna miss you"
"I'll miss you too" Rue sighed as she hugged him.
"Pedro Pascal to makeup" the speaker alerted the couple their time was up.
They both exhaled as they pulled away from the hug.
"10 days, mi amor and then we're reunited. And I'm taking you on a huge date. I already have it planned. It's gonna be good" he smirked.
"10 days, my love" she whispered.
"Pedro Pascal to makeup, please!" The voice on the speaker alerted again.
Pedro left and Rue ate her takeout in blissful silence. Exchanging flight details with her dad who wouldn't stop spamming her of pictures of their family dog. A knock on the door 20 minutes later pulled her away from her phone.
"Miss Lawley, can you go to makeup early? Jon wants to do your scene differently" a PA smiled anxiously.
"Of course, I'll go now" Rue smiled as she left her trailer.
Approaching the makeup department, Rue was distracted by the sound of Pedro's voice talking with another male.
"So is it serious?" The male questioned Pedro.
Rue stepped to one side so she could anxiously listen in without being seen.
"I'd like to think so. I'm not sure, man. She's damaged goods right now"
Rue could almost feel the air get knocked out of her. Damaged goods? Is that what he thought of her? So all of the time they spent together, intimate time. Telling each other their deepest secrets and most honest truths. It was all false? Was it? She didn't even know what he meant by that term. 'Damaged goods'. He said everything that happened wasn't her fault? The only person that got her through this was him reassuring her.
"Miss Lawley?" A makeup artist called.
Rue pulled back her tears and took a deep breath. She walked into the makeup room and took a seat a few metres away from Pedro.
"All done, Pascal. They're ready for you" his makeup artist nodded.
"Thanks"
Pedro got up and walked over to Rue's chair, blissfully unaware that she had heard everything.
"Safe flight, mi amor. I'll miss you" he whispered as he placed a kiss to the top of her head.
Rue bit her bottom lit hard in order to not cry infront of him. She glanced at him in the mirror and he was watching her already.
"Mhmm" she nodded, picking her nails, "see you around" she nodded, without looking at him as she fidgeted in her chair.
She glanced up and Pedro was still watching her, he had a frown resting on his eyebrows as he realised something was wrong.
"Are we ready to start, Lana?" Rue cleared her throat as she diverted her attention to the makeup artist.
"Yes, miss Lawley" she rushed as she grabbed her necessities.
"Pascal! We're ready!" A voice shouted from set.
Rue glanced at him one last time from the mirror and they locked eyes. He hesitated saying something for a split second before deciding against it and walking away. The second he left Rue couldn't hold her tears anymore.
"Rue! Have I hurt you?" Lana questioned panicking.
Rue leant forward and grabbed a tissue, shaking her head, "no, I'm so sorry Lana. Please carry on" she muttered wiping her eyes.
