Commercials, appearances on random TV shows, doubling up as some other character… Nothing too fancy, but still a small seat in the wide world of fame.
That is until one certain day a big ‘yes’ stands in Elizabeth’s doorstep, giving her the opportunity of her life.
She’s given the main role in a new teen movie called ‘Friend Zone’, and if she shows all of her potential it will surely send her career flying.
Everything is okay, she’s given some more scripts, she gets to know the crew-
Oh.
She was never told who her male co-star would be, and it’s not less to say that she wasn’t expecting Mr. Charming.
Aka, Leo Howard.
It’s alright, though. They build a professional relationship, rehearsing their lines with the rest of the actors included in their main scenes, having an occasional cup of coffee, trying to have a casual conversation…
They are just colleagues, but Liz can’t help to get way too distracted by him, becoming an awkward, stuttering mess.
The script isn’t helping, seeing they are supposedly best friends.
The director realises and immediately has a word with dear Liz. She gets threatened with losing the job, because not only she’s not focusing on the film, but romance is strictly prohibited in set.
Obviously.
So, as hard as a decision it was, Elizabeth chooses to simply ignore Leo when they are not shooting. She might get too carried away and forget her lines again. And that is something Leo is no liking all that much.
Also, as if it wasn’t enough with that problem, she needs to gain weight for the movie, seeing her character is fighting eating disorders. She wasn’t told about that either, and sure as Hell doesn’t feel comfortable with it.
So what if the movie slowly starts to intrude in hers and Leo’s life? What if it slowly becomes kind of… reality?
What happens behind the script?

"No no no no..." My words trailed "NO!!" I screamed, pulling harshly at all my restraints, attempting to get free, hearing the harsh clank of metal on metal with every movement.
Colder than the table beneath me, chills ran through my body. This couldn't be happening, please.
A sadistic laugh rang through the room and my head fell in defeat as my eyes squinted closed, not wanting to see his face.
"Yes, actually." I felt his disgusting, filthy hands trail down my arms. I could feel him leaning forwards, moving himself closer to me. I couldn't bring myself to open my eyes, so I just lay there, waiting for what I knew was to come.
"You're mine now, mut."
His voice made my body tense more than it already had. The way he sounded so angry. So possessive.
I dared myself to speak,
"W-what ar-are you gonna d-do to me?" My voice shook and wavered so much in my fear that it was numb to my ears.
Alpha Dave let out a low, calloused chuckle that sent chills throughout my body. He said, in a deadly low voice,
"I'm going to remind you who you belong to."
