The love song (BWWM )

Chapter 16

The pressure has been building up inside me for far too long, and I've reached my breaking point. The constant scrutiny from the paparazzi, the leaked video, and the overwhelming expectations of being in a high-profile relationship have taken a toll on my mental and emotional well-being.

One day, after another invasive encounter with the paparazzi, I finally reaches my limit. I storms into Olivia's office, frustration and tears evident in my eyes.

"I can't take it anymore, Olivia," I exclaims, my voice trembling with emotion. "I feel like I'm suffocating under the weight of this fame and attention. I never signed up for all of this. I just wanted to share my music with the world."

Olivia looks at mr with concern, realizing the toll that fame has taken on-me. "I know it's overwhelming, Lauren, but remember why you started this journey in the first place. Your music is touching people's lives, and that's what matters."

"But at what cost?" U respond , my voice filled with frustration. "I can't even go out for a simple coffee without being hounded by paparazzi. And that video... It feels like I have no privacy left. I just want to be myself without everyone watching my every move."

Olivia nods empathetically. "I understand, and I wish I could shield you from all of this. But fame comes with its challenges, and we have to find a way to navigate through it while still staying true to ourselves."

"I don't know if I can handle it anymore," I admit , tears streaming down my cheeks. "I feel like I'm losing myself in all of this. And the worst part is, I don't even know who I can trust."

Olivia takes my hand reassuringly. "You can trust me, Lauren. I'll always have your back, no matter what. And remember, you have Zack too. He loves you and wants to support you through all of this."

"I know he does, but even that feels overwhelming sometimes," I say, wiping away her tears. "I love him, but I need to find myself again before I can fully be there for him too."

Olivia nods in understanding. "Take all the time you need, Lauren. Your well-being comes first, and we'll figure out a way to handle the media and the paparazzi. We can get you some space and privacy."

I think it's time for me to talk to Zack about this because I can't fucking take if it's not good for me to keep all of this shit inside for long

I headed to his house I closed to the door

'Hey baby what's up' he says sitting on the coach

'Hey Zack we need to talk I can't keep this to myself anymore' I said He looks concerned. 'Okay what is it?' He asked

Everything the leaked video, and constant scrutiny from the media have taken a toll on our relationship, leading to tension and misunderstandings.

He didn't take this well this is only The beginning of the argument I starts expressing my frustration, "Zack, I can't take this anymore! It feels like we're drowning in all of this chaos. I need some space to breathe and figure things out."

Zack, feeling defensive, responds, "You think I don't feel the pressure too? I'm doing my best to protect us and handle the situation, but it's not easy."

"I know, but sometimes it feels like I'm alone in this. I never signed up for all this drama," I retorts, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Maybe we should just go public with our relationship. It's too exhausting to keep it a secret," Zack suggests.

I hesitates, "I don't know if I'm ready for that. Going public would invite even more scrutiny, and I don't know if I can handle it."

Zack becomes frustrated, "Then what do you want? We can't keep hiding forever!"

"I want things to slow down. I want to feel like we have control over our lives and not be at the mercy of the paparazzi and the public's opinion," I say, my voice shaking with emotion.

"But we're both public figures, Lauren. We can't escape the attention," Zack argues.

"I know, and that's what's tearing us apart," I say, her voice breaking. "I love you, Zack, but I need time to figure out if this is what I want. I can't handle the constant stress and anxiety anymore."

Zack looks at me , hurt and defeated, "So, what are you saying? Are you breaking up with me?"

I takes a deep breath, "I'm saying that I need a break. I need time to think and breathe. We both do. Maybe some time apart will help us gain perspective."

Zack reluctantly nods, "Okay, if that's what you need, I'll give you the space. But I don't want to lose you, Lauren."

"I don't want to lose you either," I say, tears still flowing. "But we need to figure out who we are outside of all of this chaos. I want us to be happy, and right now, we're both drowning."

We agree to take a break from our relationship, hoping that some time apart will allow us to find ourselves and determine what we truly want. It's a painful decision, but they both know it's necessary for their emotional well-being.

As we part ways for the time being, we can't help but wonder what the future holds for us . Will we find their way back to each other, or will this be the end of our relationship? Only time will tell.

I left his home I slapped the door Zack is frustrated about everything he can't believe he lost me he gets a call from his team he headed there right away

Zack's team manages to uncover the truth about the leaked video. They gather evidence and present it to Zack, leaving him shocked and furious. He can't believe that Hailey would go to such lengths to try and sabotage his relationship with me.

Fueled by anger and a sense of protectiveness over me, Zack confronts Hailey privately. He doesn't hold back, letting her know exactly how he feels about her betrayal and manipulation.

"How could you do this, Hailey?" Zack demands, his voice shaking with anger. "I thought we ended things on somewhat amicable terms, but this is just vindictive and cruel."

Hailey tries to feign innocence, but the evidence against her is too overwhelming. She knows she's been caught, and her façade crumbles.

"I was hurt, Zack," Hailey admits, her voice laced with bitterness. "Seeing you with Lauren, happy and in love, it made me furious. I wanted to tear you both apart and make you feel the pain I felt."

Zack's eyes narrow as he takes in her words. "Hurting others won't heal your own wounds, Hailey. You need to find a way to move on and let go of the past. What you did was despicable."

He turns away from her, not wanting to engage in any further confrontation. "We're done, Hailey. I want nothing to do with you anymore."

' fine if that what you want you may are keeping this from Lauren now but the truth will come out some hoe some way' she said then she left

This is only the beginning
