Maybe dating someone in this industry was a wrong move on your part. Here was Ryland, a lead guitarist in a recently upcoming band, The Shooting Stars.
You had your reservations about starting a relationship with him after his huge breakup with a famous model. It would be hard to be his next lover compared to a beautiful, thin, and could rock a runway show like it was no tomorrow.
Ryland's ex-girlfriend, Elliot, was someone he swore up and down and left and right that he was over. So, why would you be worried?
Maybe because before being a famous guitarist and before Elliot was a model, they were together for two years, knowing each other before the fame. But when popularity formed for Elliot, she began sleeping with other celebrities, leading to their inevitable breakup.
So, there was nothing to worry about. It should be over and done with.
Or not.
It was supposed to be a party for upcoming stars and other famous artists, and of course, Rylan invited you because you were his partner. He didn't expect Elliot to stand there with that charming smile as if waiting for him to talk to her.
He'd never leave you for her, staying strong and holding onto your hand as if reminding himself that he was all yours.
But you could feel it. The way his eyes would flicker around the room in search of her eyes. And then...she came up to you two.
"Hey, Elliot," Ryland greets, his voice slightly shaky.
