Into The Spotlight

Separate Ways

Liam and Tessa keep their distance as Milton brings them together to talk to them both. "Alright so I know we have some things going on that we don't want to discuss so let's just talk business. Both of you have upcoming albums releasing in the next day or two and we expect them both to be successful. Obviously Tessa your song "Halo" is a worldwide hit already on top of the charts in almost every country. Liam your album is projected to be top of the charts day one. My original suggestion would be another duet as the first one was very successful but maybe we should think of some alternatives," suggests Milton as neither make eye contact.

"Maybe we should make a song about talking about your feelings with one party and not the other," says Liam as Tessa doesn't like the attitude out the gate.

"Maybe we should do a remake of "Best Friends Girlfriend" by the Cars," suggest Tessa as Liam laughs. "Oh, that's funny to you."

"I think it's comical like how we just automatically make me the bad guy here," says Liam as Tessa refuses to let him win.

"No one is making you the bad guy, you did that with your smart-ass comment," she states as Milton knows a bomb is about to go off.

"Well at least I had the guts to talk about my feelings," he says as Tessa laughs out loud.

"Because getting drunk on a talk show and performing live is having guts," she says as Liam shakes his head.

"Unbelievable," he says as Milton hopes they are finished.

"Look I get it things are rough but you both need to be professionals here. Unfortunately, you both have the same manager and crew which is me. I love you both dearly and I don't want to see something ruined like your careers or friendship over a drunk night in Sydney," he says as they both ignore him.

"Maybe we should just write a song about how telling our partner I cheated on him but not to worry it's the person I did it with fault," he says as Milton drops his head in defeat.

"I like the best friend's girlfriend cover better," says Tessa.

"So what's the deal Tessa are we going to ignore we don't have feelings for each other? Are we going to go down the same road we just did with the tour and eventually make out in the limo again or what? I just want to know what's the deal here going forward because I'm lost right now," he says as Tessa tells him what Matthew said.

"I can't talk or see you again or my real stop ship with Matthew is over," she states as Liam doesn't care.

"Good maybe it should be," says Liam out loud as Tessa gets angry.

"How can you just sit here like nothing is hard or wrong? Matthew is your best friend for crying out loud. I cheated on him, yes but you stabbed him in the back at the same time. You sit here like you aren't in the wrong and belittle me," she yells as Milton starts to get a headache.

"I'm not acting like I'm not wrong. I know what I did was wrong, I'm just the only one who knows how they feel and will admit it," he says as Tessa has had enough.

"I know how I feel and I'm telling you I can't see or talk to you or me and Matthew is done," she states as Liam gets heartbroken but doesn't show any emotion.

"Then maybe I'm done here," he says as he gathers his things as Milton has no idea what he is doing.

"Where are you going," asks Milton as he tries to stop Liam.

"I quit," says Liam as he walks out of the room.

Tessa walks out of the conference room into the studio as she shuts the door and locks it. She falls to the floor as she cries her heart out. Tessa feels awful as deep down she knows she only pushed him away because of her feelings, not Matthew.

Liam tosses his stuff in the car as Milton runs out after him. "You're going to leave me like that," says Milton as he doesn't want to see him go.

"I'm not leaving you Milton you have been like a father to me," says Liam as he hugs Milton one last time. "Take care of her and make sure she doesn't fail," says Liam as he opens the driver's door.

"I thought you were mad at her," says Milton as he noticed he was still caring for her.

"I'll never be mad at her," Liam says as he drives off.
