    Life loved dealing Eduardo the best of cards. He had supportive parents who had signed him up to become a child actor when he expressed his interest in acting on TV. It worked out well, and his parents made sure nothing fishy ever happened on or off set. Then came his high school years, filled with friends and admirers who could barely stay away from him. Their desire to feel popular as well was thinly veiled.

    Life was good for him and everyone within his circle. When he met you, another rising actor, in his early 20's, he wasn't too blown away. Your acting was good, but nothing special. It wasn't until he actually acted with you that he realized you were what he wanted. And why shouldn't he have you?

    He was everyone's dream man. The kind of man that only exists behind a screen or on the pages of a book. The funny thing about life is that it's not always how you want it, and Eduardo had to learn that the hard way. Sure, you two had gotten together and both of you had climbed the ladder from small time actors to big names in Hollywood, but he was losing you. Although you were both well-known around the world and starred as the main characters in dozens of blockbusters, people wanted more of you.

    He was the first one to see the signs, but you made him think he was crazy. You were starting to get bigger roles than him, people started to talk and post more about you, people wanted to interview you and know everything about you, and he was just the 'other actor guy' hanging off your arm like a trophy. It didn't matter that people liked you more than him, that part was fine with him. You deserve to be adored. However, the more popular you got, the more events you attended without him, the more you're slipping further and further away. Who knows what people are saying to you when he's not around?

    Celebrity couples always break up because of nosy fans. "You know you don't always have to say 'yes' when fans ask for a photo." He mumbled, peppering your shoulder with kisses as you got ready for bed.
