Levi was intimidating you. He was turning everything into a competition. It had been already two months and each day you two had a promotional event and he turned it into a challenge. He had the chances to one up you.

In photoshoots, he made you get flustered without even trying. He ignored your presence every chance he got. And he made sure to leave you hanging whenever you needed something. It hurt more than you though, but you still had the growth of hatred towards him.

In interviews, he always interjected when you never finished your though. The games that the hosts had, he always won them one way or another. He teased you the same as well. Always saying sweet things, yet when he gets backstage he's cold to the bone.

In film shoots, he ignores you. Never meeting your eyes and always walking away from you when you try to ask him about the situation and the scenes. It brought all your hope down whenever he hung out with the second lead more than you.

A pain had stung at your heart every chance it got. He was mean, you should've known that, but he had you in his hand whether he knew it or not. It hurt the most whenever he never wanted to interact with you.

He really did live up to his word of saying you would regret it. And you did. As much as you wanted to hate the man, he just made you sad every time he got. You were becoming gloomy each moment he did negative things.

You try to empower yourself by avoiding him as well, but when you both are the main leads, it's hard not to talk to one another for help. Except, he doesn't need your help since he's in the seniority for acting.

Whenever there were get togethers for finishing a hard scene, you would always fake a smile, fake a laugh, fake everything so people wouldn't worry about you. That included your manager which you hated doing.

You love her with all your soul, but the last thing you want was her to worry everyday about your mental. You needed to work on it yourself or you'll never learn. You didn't want to get support from other people all the time. It was tiring always being babied and you wanted to support and grow by yourself.

But lately, everything took a toll on your mentality and emotional state. You were falling out, but you never showed it with your physical appearance. Every chance you got, you tried your best to keep yourself professional on the outside.

You were walking to the set for the third hardest scene that you had to shoot with Levi. You were tired. You overworked yourself since your co-star didn't want to help you. You even asked the director for help this time, but he said to go to Levi since you were working with him. And at that point, it was useless asking anyone on set for help.

For two weeks, you stayed up late trying to figure out how to act your scenes. It wasn't the same without having insight from your co-star so that's what made it hard. A part of you knew that you shouldn't be staying up super late for one scene. However, no help would be given to you with the next parts of the movie.

You were pretty sure you got a fever, but that didn't stop you from going to the shoot. You had a headache that pounded every couple of seconds. Your body had chills and you felt so cold yet hot to the touch.

You cough as you gulp down water to clear up your throat. You tried taking cough drops and they didn't work considering how you're still coughing. Your throat felt like you could die in an instant. The soreness, dryness, and itchiness. It was all there. You felt like you could barely let out any words.

"Hey, are you ready for your outfit?" your manager nudged your shoulder.

Turning to face her, you nod since you didn't trust yourself to speak. She hands you the script and you read it as you make your way to the workers that would put on your outfit and makeup. They worked hastily while you read.

The weariness of your eyes was showing that the makeup artist stopped to ask if you were okay. You hoped that they hadn't realized how hot you were.

"I'm good," you whisper so you wouldn't make it evident that you were suffering from something.

She smiled and finished up your looks. Your eyes casted to the person standing in front of the mirror. To the normal eye, you looked perfectly fine. To your eyes, you looked so broken and tired. You looked so out of it.

You make your way to the set with the script still on hand. Levi was already in his position and was reviewing his scene as well. Your eyes felt like they were going to disconnect from their sockets. You were so exhausted from all the reviewing.

You watch Levi hand his script over to his manager who tells him good luck. Annie takes your script and your jacket making you envelop the chilly breeze. You felt like you were going to die if you didn't have that jacket on.

You made your way over the middle of where you were supposed to be. Your breathing was a bit ragged as you placed a hand over your chest to feel your heartbeats. It was normal, but seemed rather faster than normal. Gulping, you watch as everyone began to get ready for the cameraman to start shooting.

The director got into his place which was his seat while everyone else went to theirs.

"All quiet on set! 3...2...1, action!" the camera starts shooting.

Your world spins as you take weak steps towards Levi. He watches your every move noticing that you're playing your character so well. The scene was of you being fine after an attack and you had to make your way over to his character with as much dramatic feel as possible.

You weren't doing it on purpose, no, you were doing it unconsciously. Your eyes droop and you know you're only halfway from reaching Levi. Your world feels like it's spinning with the headache increasing it's pain. You try your best to keep your body moving and your eyes open.

Only then do you realize that your eyes roll to the back of your head and you're falling to the ground. The crew jumps into alert mode and the last thing you notice was you're in the hands of Levi Ackerman.

and how i live, but i cant do this anymore
