Him ~ (Damien X Reader)

Chapter One | Him

(Y/N POV)

"Oh Courtney, how was your date last night?" Olivia says. I hadn't seen the girls since I moved to LA a month ago and for some reason we were talking about our crazy exes. "Great actually," she says, taking a sip of her iced caramel macchiato. "He was super sweet and surprisingly not a douchebag!"  "Unlike he who shall not be named" I exclaimed suddenly. Courtney chuckled and said "Yeah well that was one crazy mistake I will regret for eternity" We all laughed, and then it was my turn. "So, (y/n), how about you? Any crazy exes?" Sarah inquired. I stopped to think when I suddenly remembered... "Well," I said, "There was this one guy..."

- Four years earlier -

"This is (mumbled speaking) leave a message" Ah. Voicemail. I've been waiting for one hour for him. "Hey, it's (y/n), umm I hope you haven't stood me up again. So where are you? Please call me. Bye."
As I hang up the voicemail, I start to walk away when I hear sudden screeching and horns blaring from cars. Then I hear someone shout my name. "(Y/N)!" He exclaims. I know that voice. It's him. "Is your clock behind? You're an hour late." I say, exasperated. "I'm sorry (y/n), my cat... ate... my dog?" He says, obviously lying. "Tell me the real reason you're late, because I can't keep pretending i'm ok with how you are treating me!" I exclaim in anger. He can't keep treating me like... like a piece of dirt! I'm over it! "I'm sorry (y/n), it's just... I don't feel like you're putting enough effort into our relationship so I decided I wouldn't either. I thought it was the best idea!" Is he serious?! I am so close to just punching him in the gut. "I don't put enough effort in our relationship?! You are the epitome of STUPID. WE ARE OVER!" I yell. He stands speechless as I call over a taxi. "Goodbye." He calls after me as I get in the taxi. "(y/n)! You...You'll regret this! I PROMISE YOU WILL NEVER BE HAPPIER THAN YOU WERE WITH ME!"

- Back to present -

"Wow..." Olivia said in astonishment. "And I thought I had it rough with guys" I laughed "Yeah well, he sure was rough alright." Just as I said that, I get a reminder on my phone 'Work in 10 minutes' I stand up and say, "This has been great girls, but I have to go to work. I'll catch up with you all later!" I give my goodbyes and rush off to work.

I run into the local coffee shop and put on my apron and hat. "Hi, how can I help you?" I say. "Just a hot chocolate please." I recognise the voice, but shake it off. "Okay, any cream?" I ask. "No thanks." I look up and my heart stops. "Are you okay?" He said, looking concerned. Does he not recognise me? Especially through all the pain he put me through. "Nothing I just... never mind. Here's your hot chocolate, that'll be $3.50" He hands me the money, takes his drink and walks off.

(Ex's POV)

"Dude, I'm telling you it was her! Same
(Y/hair colour) and same (y/eye colour)." I say to Shayne. "Did she know it was you though?" He inquired, taking the hot chocolate. "I mean, when she looked at me, she looked like she was about to collapse. So, the answer is yes I think. The reason I'm confused is why she didn't say anything?" Shayne looked at me with disbelief. "Really, dude, don't you remember the day she broke up with you... you were an hour late and said it was because she doesn't commit to the relationship so you wont either. That's kind of a douchebag move." I look at him, shocked and upset. "You didn't have to remind me. I'm a better person now... don't you think? I never even introduced you too each other, gosh. She was outstanding." Shayne nods slowly, and then had a sudden excitement fill him. "Anyway, you start your new job tomorrow. How do you feel?" He was right! I would be joining him in the Smosh office tomorrow. I'm excited! "Yeah I cant wait!"

(Y/n POV)

I was finishing up when i got a message from Olivia...

Olivia: Hey girl, we are filming a sketch tomorrow and we know how much you're struggling to get an acting job atm, so do you want to come with and help out? I heard we need an extra cast member? Xo

Y/n: OH MY DAYS REALLY?! THANK YOU LIV I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

Olivia: No worries (y/n), and i heard a new guy is starting tomorrow... possible future husband ??? (;

Y/n: Hahahah i wish... see u tomorrow and thank you again! Xoxoxo

I still haven't told the girls about the coffee shop incident, but that can be for another time. I can't believe it was him. What is he doing here in LA?

- Time skip to tomorrow -

"Hey (Y/N), over here!" I hear Courtney yell as I try to find my way around the office."Oh, hey! How's it hanging?" "Good, anyways, here's a script, you only have one line so don't be worried about not having time to learn it." She hands over a script named 'Every Pet Ever'. I have a quick flick through and smile at her. "Hey also we are having a welcome party for the new guy if you want to come? I'm sure it'll be fun!" She says, excitedly. "Thanks Courtney, who is the new guy anyway?" She thinks for a second. "I'm actually not sure, no one has met him apart from Shayne. Speaking of..." She waves to him and I turn around "Hey Courtney, this is the new guy" Says Shayne, pointing to a guy about 5"11 with brown hair and brown eyes. My heart drops. I walk off, and Courtney chases after me. "(Y/n)! Wait up! What's wrong?" She says, looking concerned. "It's him, Courtney. My ex, Damien."
