"Forget about me."
"No!"
"We're both busy. It isn't gonna work. I've got university and you have your acting career."
"I won't let you break up with me."
His hands cupped her face and he forced her to look at him.
"Look me in the face and say it again."
"I don't have to." Dawn said.
She paused for a moment to look at him and continued "Focus on your career. I'll focus on mine."
"You can't end off 3 years together!"
"I can. I'm doing it right now."
Dawn took his hands off her face slowly and hugged him.
"Let's not see each other for a while." Dawn said and he said "Why? I need you."
"You gotta learn to stand without me..."
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Let's wrap it up..."
Dawn stood up to start packing up along with her team. Lev and his management got ready to leave a few minutes before.
"Sheila, I'll stay back. I'll be at the company dinner later."
"Ok but don't do anything that can get you seen."
Lev nodded, and took a black hat and mask, walking back into the studio room. He helped them by putting away one of cameras. Of course, he knew how.
"Lev?"
"It's over already. There's no need to be so professional."
Dawn shrugged and put down the heavy bag holding all the equipment.
"Want me to bring this up to the storage?"
Lev said, holding all the heavy bags for her and Dawn just walked, knowing he was gonna follow her anyways.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"That's great!" Dawn laughed, clapping her hands in applause.
Lev smiled at the look of happiness on her face and said "I know. Things have been going great for me. How about you?"
Dawn shrugged, of course her career was going up hill. Everything was always handed to her from her father.
"I'm more proud of what you accomplished rather than mine."
"It must be fun to be able to do something you love everyday.. You liked taking pictures since we were young.."
"Yeah I guess. So how long are you back for?"
"3 weeks. I'll finish some promotions here and there while on vacation and then I'll have to fly back for serious work."
"Being famous is hard... isn't it?"
"I like-"
"One second." Dawn cut him off and Lev watched her smile at her phone.
"Is the office busy today? Should I pick you up? Juno's waiting for you."
"It's okay I'm gonna go for a drink with Naia. I'll see you both at home.❤️"
"Sorry about that..." Dawn gulped. She didn't know why it felt wrong to be texting someone else while with him.
"I said I like the attention." Lev smiled widely and waved it off. They talked a little more to catch up, they didn't notice the time passing by so quickly.
"It's late I should get going. You should too..." Dawn suddenly said and Lev stood up at the same time as her. He didn't realize how close they were.
"Do you have a ride? I can give you a ride home.."
Dawn pushed his shoulder to make me stumble back a bit and then said "That'd be great but I've got somewhere to be. I'll see you later."
Dawn said just leaving the office like that without locking the door. Lev chuckled and took out his keys. Luckily he still had them.
"Not even a little different." He says.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Of course he's back..." Dawn chugged a glass of beer and a tear slipped out.
"Why did he have to come back anyways, His career will do just fine without promoting here!"
"Just why Naia!"
Dawn poured herself another glass and Naia took all the alcohol away from her.
"You should stop. Jaidon will be worried.."
"No!! I want more~~!" Dawn's head was dizzy and her head fell onto the table. Naia sighed and took out her phone. She looked for Lev's contact and called.
"Oi Naia it's been a while.. what's up?"
Naia laughed a little and poked Dawn to see if she was awake.
"Your still as bubbly as ever... I heard your in Town, where are you staying?"
"Close to my company building."
Naia nodded and said "Well do you think you could come see Dawn? She's totally wasted.."
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"Naia!!!" Lev yelled and Naia smiled at him.
"That mask and hat mandatory for you now?"
Lev shrugged.
"I guess you could say that.. but for a famous person to be in a bar with two girls. That's not a great way to get caught in this industry."
"Yeah, I get it. Come sit beside Dawn."
