CO STAR → JENNA ORTEGA (GXG)

|ONE|

*JAYDEN'S POV*
"Welcome to the show! It's so nice to have you up here for the first time."

Jimmy Fallon, the famous talk show host, greeted me as I came onto the stage and took my seat. The audience was clapping and cheering, clearly happy to see me.

"It's great for you to have me up here for the first time! I always wanted to be a special guest on your show. I'm a huge fan!"

"Oh wow! Jayden Gooding is a huge fan of me! I wasn't expecting that. You're such a super star, and I'm very happy to see you breakout as your own person in your career. You know, considering who your father and brother are. Your music is great, your acting is great. You can do it all!"

The audience clapped once more, causing me to blush and smile at the compliment.

"Thank you, I really appreciate that. It's very hard to separate into your own person, especially if your father is as famous and iconic with him being Cuba Gooding Jr, and your brother being Mason Gooding. But I managed to make it work. I've always loved doing music, so I'm glad it's gotten me this far like it has. And for the acting, it clearly runs in my blood. So I'm a natural at that."

"Yeah, you definitely are. Speaking of the acting portion of your career, Scream 6 is a massive hit all over the country! The number one movie in the world! How does it feel being in one of the most iconic movie franchises in the history of horror?"

"Well, first off, I'm very honored to even be apart of this journey. I couldn't be more blessed. I thought it was a joke when Mason told me that the director actually wanted to cast me. I was in the middle of my tour when he told me. So as soon as I finished tour, I had to transition over to start filming the movie. And I loved it, it was definitely such a fun project, and I'm happy that I could be apart of it."

"That's great to hear. Now I know you probably get these questions a lot, especially lately. But how is it to be all cuddled up with this generation's scream queen Jenna Ortega, when you just got out of a high profile relationship with Selena Gomez? You were together for a long time too."

Suddenly, a paparazzi photo of me and Jenna popped up on the screen behind me. It was the day last week that we went out on a date for ice cream, and we were extremely close in the photo being shown.

My face started to blush out of nervousness, looking down for a few seconds and looking back up at Jimmy.

"You know, man... I can really explain that."

"Please do, because we're all dying to know!"

Which brings me back to about a year ago..

Selena and I had been together for four years. We had gotten together a few months after she had broken up with her ex Justin Bieber for the last time.

You see, I've been in the industry for a very long time, and I had sharp eyes for Selena since the beginning.

I even knew Selena personally before Bieber even came around. Before I started my music career, I guest starred on her hit show Wizards Of Waverly Place a few episodes.

Selena had always been an Angel in my eyes. She was always the number one star in my opinion. If you were to try to tell me anything about Selena, I was gonna step right behind her with all ten toes down.

Even after she started dating Bieber, we remained friends and did a tour together.

Maybe for the first year, her relationship with Bieber was okay. After that, it turned to a complete shit show of a disaster. I couldn't stand the way he treated Selena. It burned me up inside.

But still, I stuck by her. Even when she made a fool of herself, and went back to him multiple times.

It was the time after she found out that Bieber had just gotten married to his wife Hailey only two months after he left Selena.

I was there for her to wipe up every single tear that she shed during that breakup. I held her every single time that she shivered in pain, every time she wanted to end her life.

Of course, I let her heal for as long as she needed before I made my first move on her. Little did I know, she felt the same way about me.

We decided to make our relationship official about two months after trying stuff between each other our personally.

The best feeling in the world to me, I swear. My dream girl from years on end was finally MINE.

"I really can't believe my baby is gonna be in Scream 6! I love this for you, this is huge!"

Selena exclaimed as I told her the big news. My brother Mason called me about an hour ago, telling me that the director and rest of the team thought I would be perfect for one of the new characters.

Mason had previously played Chad Meeks in the franchise's fifth film. The team seen my work and what I could do, and thought that I would be perfect for the role.

I didn't even have to audition, they just wanted me on the project.

I was in the middle of my world tour, which Selena was traveling with me since she was taking a small hiatus from her work.

"I know, I can't believe this. Not only is this gonna boost my acting career some more, this could give my music career some more attention, too."

This upcoming weekend I'm the performer on Saturday Night Live, and it so happens that the star of the last Scream was hosting; Jenna Ortega.

Not only is she from Scream, but she also played the hell out of the role of Wednesday Addams in the Netflix show Wednesday.

I think it could've gave us a head start on getting to know each other before we started filming Scream 6.

This was gonna be a fun journey to go on. Right?
