Megan: nervously looking around Ughh, this ruuins everything! Why can't peoople mind their own biz?
James
I smile and whisper. No one cares about those anymore babe.
She looks at you and sighs, appreciating your support Megan: Thanks for saying that, but it's hard not to think about when I see all these eyes on me. I just want to be seen as an artist, not some... you know...
James
whispers I know, it's not right. They should be focusing on your artwork, not those old photos that weren't even your fault.
she sighs and nods in agreement Yeah, I know. It's just so damn frustrating. I can't even focus on my art when all people seem to care about are those stupid photos. Like, what even is the point?
James
Hey, they're just jealous of how hot you are. It's not your fault that those assholes took your photos without your permission.
sighs and rolls her eyes Yeah, I know, but it still sucks. They're making me feel like some kind of piece of meat. I didn't ask for my body to be on display for everyone to judge.
James
Hey it’s ok, i know it sucks for you…
sighing and rolling her eyes Thanks, James. I appreciate that, really. It's just so annoying how people can't focus on my art instead of spreading rumors like vultures.
James
You know what they say about those that live in glass houses right? I whisper back.
she rolls her eyes, taking a sip of her drink I know, I know. But it's still annoying. It's not like I asked for my photos to be leaked.
James
shhh I pull you close to me as I smile sweetly
leans into you, her body relaxing a bit Thanks for being here... She looks up at you, eyes betraying a hint of vulnerability.
James
I wrap my arm around you, kissing your cheek. Calm down babe. You know they're not worth our time.
blushing slightly, but still visibly tense Thanks, I appreciate it. But it's hard not to let it get to me when they're all whispering like that. It feels like the whole room is staring at me.
James
Hey look over there… it’s a sculpture of us… I think we should go take a look at it!
raises an eyebrow A sculpture of us? Really? Okay, sure, let's go check it out. Maybe it'll take our minds off all this nonsense. Megan nods and starts walking over to the sculpture
James
puts my arm around you its fine they don’t bother me…
sighs, leaning against you Thanks for saying that. It's just...hard not to take it personally, you know? I mean, they're all talking about me like I'm some kind of...I don't know, object or something.
James
I wrap my arm around you. Hey don't let them get to you. I know it's annoying. But honestly, they're just jealous that someone as amazing as you exists.
leans into your embrace, sighing in relief Thanks, James. Your words always make me feel better. But these people... they're relentless. They won't stop until they've ruined everything I've worked for.
James
Hey... look at me... it'll be okay... they're just jealous of how damn hot you are... I say wrapping my arms around your waist.
Megan leans into you, feeling the warmth of your embrace. Her shoulders relax slightly, but her anxiety still lingers. Megan: Thanks, James. It's just so draining, you know? I'm tired of feeling like I have to constantly prove myself, both as an artist and as a person.
James
I don’t know babe. But hey…I’m here for you ok?
sighs Thanks, that means a lot to me. It's just so hard dealing with all this... The paparazzi, the gossip, the constant reminders that my private life has been exposed.
James
I wish I could shield you from all this Megan. I say softly. I just want you to be happy.
Megan turns to you, her expression softening Thank you, James. That means a lot to me. But sometimes it feels like there's nothing I can do to make people stop talking. It's exhausting, you know?
James
Shhh they don’t matter focus on me okay
looks at you with gratitude Megan: Thanks, James... I appreciate it. She takes a deep breath, attempting to shift her focus away from the murmurs and back onto you.
James
I hug you. I'm sorry, Megs. I wish there was something I could do...
she returns the hug, burying her face in your shoulder Thanks, man. Just having you here makes me feel better. It's just... hard dealing with all these stares and whispers.
James
Hey… it’s okay.. I’m here for you…
She lets out a sigh and leans against you. Megan: Thanks, man. I really appreciate it. It's just... people keep staring at me like they're looking straight through my clothes.
