Ross

"Bye," I wave goodbye to them before entering the airport.

They all wave back, so I face the entrance of the airport, when someone hugged me from behind.

"I love you," Melissa whispers.

I face her and lightly hold her face. "I love you too." I secure my words with a kiss.

We hesitantly let go of each other as I make my way inside. I could still see her over the glass, probably waiting for me to completely enter. I take one last look, then I make it in.

"Hey," I say as I catch up with the rest of the cast.

"Where have you been?" Maia asks.

"I just said goodbye. Let's go?" I say.

Everyone agrees and we start to walk.

-------------------------------------------------

We finally land, and make it to our destination. As soon as we got off the plane, I left Melissa a message.

To: Melissa

We're here already. How are you guys?

Then, after some preparations and rests, we start shooting.

Melissa

It's been four days since Ross left. As he said, he called and texted often, that's why I felt like he was just by my side.

I was walking down the hallway, when I realized that everyone was staring right at me. I ignored them at first, but I couldn't any longer.

"Slut." A girl says as she walks passed me.

My teeth were gritted. More words from random people crossed the room, all leading to me.

"How dare she."

"If I were her, I'd stay home."

"She's so annoying."

And it went on and on. Until a brunette girl approached me.

"How dare you cheat on Ross!" She says, blocking the way.

"W-what?" I gasp.

"Don't play innocent! Ross deserves someone better!" She says moving closer to me.

I look around, and there were people everywhere. They were all saying rude things. As soon as I got to move mt feet, I ran away and went back to the rest room.

"Melissa?" A familliar voice says.

"Hey," I try to smile when I realized it was Angel.

"Is it true?" She suddenly says.

"What's true?" I ask.

"It's all over the internet. A picture of you and another guy." She says hesitantly.

"What? What photo?" I say.

Then, Angel takes out her phone and shows me the picture.

"This isn't real! I would never do this! It's edited!" I say as soon as I saw the photo.

"I believe you. But who would do this?" Angel points out.

"There are a lot of girls in the campus. Ross is a famous guy. Anything's possible..." I trail off.

Then, I break into tears. "Ross shouldn't hear of this. Even though it isn't true, I don't want to get him thinking." I say.

Angel nods, and then comforts me. Now, how am I going to attend my classes? I don't want to get bashed by random people.

-------------------------------------------------

I let a day pass. I didn't attend my classes. How could I? Angel wasn't around, that's why I didn't have anyone to talk to. It was 6 in the morning, so I sneaked out since the Lynchs were still asleep.

After getting dressed, I went straight to Matt's place. I guess we have some rehearsals.

When I make it there, I didn't have to knock because the door was wide open. So, I went in and searched for Matt. There was no one in the living room or in the kitchen. So, that led me to the basement. But before I could open the door, a familliar voice makes it to my ears.

"How dare you do that to her!"

"Just leave!"

"I'm not leaving."

"I said leave!"

I peeked through the door and spotted.... Ross.

Before I could react, Ross' fist hit Matt's face. That threw Matt across the room.

"Matt!" I suddenly enter the room.

I leaned down to him, and he was unconcious.

"What have you done Ross!" I panic.

"He deserves it!" He replies, ruffling his hair.

"What are you doing here anyway?" I try to calm myself.

"Because of that as*hole! He's not your friend Melissa!" He walks towards me.

"Can you calm down?!" I shout, getting up.

"When I was at the teen beach movie 2 set, I found out that—"

"Whatever your reason is, you still don't have the right to come in here and hit Matt! What has gotten into you?!" The room was filled with tension between me and Ross.

"I- I couldn't control myself." Ross reasons out.

"That's not a valid reason mister!" My face turned red.

"Look, just stay away from him, leave his band and—"

"Who are you to tell me what to do with my life? Matt is my friend, and you just hurt him!" Tears started streaming down my cheeks. "I never imagined that you could do such a thing," I broke down.

"I'm your boyfriend, and I did this because I care Melissa," Ross takes my hand.

There was a few seconds of silence. He was staring right into my eyes, as if he was begging. Then, my eyes shifted to Matt who was laying down on the floor. I took a deep breath, and let out a sigh.

"I need some time Ross. These past few days haven't been easy. And now, you've just added up to my problem." I say.

"Why don't you tell me what you're going through? I'm your boyfri—"

"Maybe not anymore." I cut him off.

"W-what?" His voice was shaky.

"I need some space Ross. And you always being around wouldn't help. I- I'm sorry." Another tear escapes from my eyes.

"You're breaking up with me?" Ross' eyes turn watery.

"Y-yes."
