Y/N WOKE UP TO KNOCKING on her apartment door. her head was pounding and the knocking wasn't helping at all.

the knocking continued and she knew she had to get the door because whoever was there wouldn't stop until she answered.

she lifted her head up from being lodged in between her pillows and winced as the bright light that shone from her windows hit her eyes.

she groaned as she got up and wobbled for a couple seconds before she regained her balance and stomped towards the door.

she swung it open and saw sadie standing there, looking worried.

"jesus, y/n you look a mess!" sadie told her as she looked y/n up and down.

y/n's hair was absolutely horrible as the knots and strays stood out like a sore thumb. she had dark circles and huge bags under her eyes and she smelled very strongly of red wine.

"sorry man, i just woke up." y/n said groggily. "come in, come in," she finished as she shuffled out of the front doorway.

sadie walked in and sat down on the couch as she watched y/n pour a glass of water from the kitchen.

"so what exactly happened... if you don't mind me asking," sadie asked.

"so basically," she took a sip of her water and sat on the couch next to sadie, "i went to the lake where we had our first kiss and i sat there all day just enjoying my own company." she grabbed her computer and put it on her lap.

"then while i was enjoying the peaceful sunset, as i usually do, he came up behind me all like 'i thought i would find you here'" she mocked him. "so then blah blah blah and he said he likes me and doesn't like his girlfriend and he misses me," she checked her emails as she does every morning, "and so i-" she paused.

there was an email from a casting director asking her to be in a new movie as a lead role.

"and so you what?" sadie asked. y/n was just so roped into her computer and that email, she didn't even hear sadie. "y/n?" she waved her hand in front of her face.

when y/n still didn't respond, sadie sighed and grabbed the computer out of her hands to see what she was looking at.

"what is so-" she started. "holy shit!" she exclaimed. "y/n you need to accept this! i've never even gotten an email like this. this is what happened with winona when she was the 'it' girl in the 90s"

"should i?" she asked hesitantly.

"y/n are you nuts?! take the damn role!" sadie answered.

"ok ok i will," she answered and replied to the email saying she'd take the roll.

"anyways so what happened with finn?" sadie asked again.

finn groaned as he slowly lifted his head up from his pillows. his room was way too bright to be hungover in and he was kind of upset he didn't have blackout curtains but we won't get into that.

he checked the time on the alarm clock next to his bed and slowly, but surely, got out of bed.

he walked over to the bathroom and filled a glass with water and found an advil in one of the care packages.

he quickly took the pill and went to find his computer to check his emails.

finn opened his emails and saw the same exact email that y/n had gotten for the love interest of the role y/n was offered (except he didn't know that.)

he obviously accepted. he was proud that all that hard work he's been putting into his acting for years now has resulted in him starting to become the 'it' boy.

he made some of the coffee provided to him in his room and sat down on the couch to just think about life for a quick second.

he thought about acting and portraying this new role but his mind slowly drifted to y/n. he didn't realize at first but once he realized he was thinking about y/n, he abruptly stopped.

"holy shit, where is my mind?" he asked himself.

he went back to thinking and his mind drifted to y/n once again.

"where is my fucking mind today?" he asked once again. "i need to stop thinking about her. she doesn't like me anymore, she got over me."

he had to keep reminding himself that she's done with him, that she didn't need him anymore, but maybe he needed her.

maybe he's been so miserable because he hasn't had y/n for over a year and he missed spending quality time with her.

she used to do the most simple things, some would even call the thing she did boring, but she would never get tired of it.

she found the beauty in everything and that's what he missed about her.

maybe one day, he'll get to call her 'my darling' again.

maybe one day.

TIME SKIP
2 months later

both y/n and finn had gotten the scripts for their movie. sadie did too, as a matter of fact. she also got offered a role in the movie.

sadie and y/n didn't know finn was in the movie and finn didn't know the two girls were in the movie.

so you can just imagine y/n's surprise when she walked into set with sadie on the first day and saw finn there too.

"what the hell are you doing here?"
