"This.. is where it all began."
"The director called out for the movie to start."
"The script went along like this."
Johnny Cage was a famous movie star, who was also your boyfriend. It would seem cool: a rich life, along with that - a loved one. But everything has a downside.

Johnny became addicted to people's attention, to his work. He became more distant.

Johnny was sitting on the couch in the living room of his mansion, looking at the phone, checking his social medias.

"Sup, doll." Johnny said nonchalantly as soon as he heard the sounds of approaching footsteps, without taking his eyes off the phone.

Ace raised an eyebrow as he yawned, his shirt messy and unbuttoned as his tie was undone too. 
"How was the shoot?"

"Same old shit, Ace." Johnny mumbled, rolling his blue eyes at Ace.

He took off his sunglasses, but continued scrolling through the news on his phone.

It had been a few days since he had seen Ace, and he seemed to be really busy lately. Even though they had been living together for two years, Johnny seemed uninterested in his significant other.

Ace  let out a tired, but annoyed growl, as he went to the bedroom to get some fresh clothes and his towel to shower.
"Yeah sure the directors loved how it was going, but it felt uneasy.. like if I was gonna hurt someone.."

"Ace, wait!" Johnny shouted after him, still not looking up.

He was still scrolling through social media, scrolling through his comments. He was just about to make a reply to a nasty fan, something like "kiss my butt, loser", probably.

"Yes..?"  
Ace spoke before getting into the shower, his eyes looked tired, but still had a hint of activeness.

"Babe, we need to talk..." Johnny muttered, still looking at his phone.

Suddenly, there were footsteps on the stairs leading to the main room. A blonde girl in short shorts and white sneakers came down on the stairs, holding a half-empty bottle of beer and playing with her phone.

"Hey, hottie." She glanced at Johnny and smiled, but Johnny ignored her, so she just left the room.

Meanwhile, Johnny continued to ignore Ace, scrolling his feed.

"It's because of the shoots and you are slowly growing int- WHO THE FUCK IS THAT-"
Ace raised his tone, who showed visible anger.

"Oh come on, baby, don't be like that." Johnny's voice was calm and arrogant as usual.

He looked up at Ace with a smile.

"She is just a fan, babe." He said with a chuckle.

"Besides, you are overreacting."

He'd shut the door, just getting into the shower. The sound of the door shutting was an annoyed sound. With a hint of anger to it.
"Those voices of the directors was haunting me. All I heard was a 'Yes!! Yes!! Continue! I love it!!' But I know things were gonna change.

"Oh, c'mon baby, don't be like that." Johnny came to the bathroom, knocking on the door.

Johnny's voice was now less calm and more irritated, but still arrogant.

"Babe, open up." He said.

Meanwhile, there were more footsteps on the stairs. Three more girls in short skirts and dresses entered the mansion, carrying beer and glasses.

After a few minutes, Ace just opened the door, he already changed clothes but his hair was slightly wet as he had a look of being uninterested in the others bullshit, but his arms were crossed.
"...Another frat party was here.. Wasn't it?"

"Yeah, some girls are having a party in the backyard." Johnny didn't seem to notice Ace's cold attitude.

He came closer to Ace, wrapping his arm around Ace's waist and looking at him with a smile.

"Come on, Ace, they are fans of mine, I can't ignore them." Johnny said, trying to kiss him.

"Hands off of me." As Ace moved away, stepping aside as he noticed more women, then soon he just grabbed his shoes, getting ready to leave out again.

Johnny looked at Ace with a frown, confused as to why Ace was acting that way.

"What's wrong, Ace? Are you jealous of my fans?" His voice turned slightly angry as he looked at Ace.

"I am a star, Ace, I can't stop people from coming here!" He hissed.
And the script had came to a halt as the directors said..
"And time!"
As time passed day one of the movie shoot was done.
"Bravo my boys! Bravo! Take a rest for today. Tomorrow is another great day." The director grinned as Ace looked at Johnny, who was.. already talking with the women. Who also looked like flirting as Ace grabbed a bottle of water, just brushing it off as he sighed. "Possibly, this won't be so bad.. will it?" Ace said to himself as he looked over at his partner who was still walking and talking with the women.
