You have been Tom's make-up artist for about two years now. Tom before you had gone through multiple make-up artists and because of how annoying and babyish Tom was, each single one left. When you had taken up the job even the interviewer had warned you that Tom was...a handful to say the least and she had even told you that you might want to reconsider, but you didn't. Like you had heard in everyone's stories, Tom was babyish, an idiot and a handful.
For a few months he had been prodding at you, annoying you, expecting you to leave, but you didn't, one: the job paid amazingly, it was Tom Ryder after all, and two: somehow you could handle his antics, and this also made Tom get attached to you very quickly and while yes he pissed you off you did have quite a soft spot for him, he was an idiot in a sort of cute way.
Now, working with Tom almost every day for the past two years meant you got to know him very well, he talked way too much so you probably knew way more than you needed to and some things you'd prefer to have blocked out of your mind they were that odd. But in those two years you learnt two things, the first being that Tom was ALWAYS on something, weed, coke whatever it was very rare to catch him in a completely sober state and two is that this man had a very big tendency to be late.
You'd been working as Tom's makeup artist on a new movie called Metalstorm, it was being directed by Tom's friend Jodie and she was very eager to have Tom play the main character of 'The Space Cowboy' so of course she got him in on it, not to mention that Tom's manager, Gail Meyer was producing the movei too. For the first few weeks everything was fine, Tom of course did his scenes excellently and it was going great...until it wasn't.
One day Tom just stopped showing up to the set and wasn't responding to anyone. Sure a few scenes could be done without him but Jodie was starting to panic now so you asked Tom's assistant, Alma, about it.
"Oh yeah, Tom's like crazy drugged up and paranoid right now, he thinks someone's trying to kill him."
classic Tom...you had a hunch that Tom was busy being drugged out of his mind right now but what you hadn't expected was for Alma to ask you to go check his house
"Why me?!"
You asked, clearly opposed to the idea.
"You probably know Tom better than any of us, you're the only one who seems to be able to put up with him!"
She responded...so now here you were..Tom's house is beside the boat docs. You peered in through the windows and the light seemed to be on. Alma had given you the house code so you put it in and opened the door and called Tom's name but there was no response. You shut the door gently and walked around the house...it was a tip, there was rubbish everywhere and drugs anywhere imaginable and on every single wall, appliance, whatever there were post-it notes containing random nonsense that Tom had written. You picked one up and it read 'buy koala!!!' Tom was clearly out of his mind which was obvious.
You turned around only to be met with Tom in some sort of fighting stance holding up a prop sword he had grabbed from his collection.
"Hey back up, man!"
he yelled, his eyes were practically beet red, and he looked like he'd been to hell and back, he was wearing a pair of pyjama pants, a pair of aviator subglasses and his bathrobe and that was about it...he stank of weed too...Alma clearly wasn't exaggerating.
"Tom I know the sword's fake."
You said as he let out a grumble still pointing it at you. Tom clearly was so drugged up that he couldnt even recognise you right now.
"I said back up, dude!"
