Scarlett pov

Today is the day that we'll finally do interviews to promote our movie and I'm more than excited since everyone is so excited for it including me especially this is gonna be my first interview with y/n

She picked me up to go to the studio together and our first interview is at the Ellen show

"How'd you like your hair today, y/n?" The hairstylist asked her while we get ready together

"Just keep it down" y/n smiled at him

Y/n is the most timid person when she's around people that knows her as the actress y/n y/l/n. To me it's seems like she's protecting her figure so tightly

She's just reading a book while getting her hair and makeup done while I'm having conversations with the team.

"You guys went to Canada?" My makeup artist asks while y/n snapped out of her reading thing " how'd you know?" She asked like she's gonna kill someone

"Your rbf.." i mumbled warning her as her face actually softened

"I'm sorry, how'd you know?" She asked again but now nicely

Yeah I'm a girlfriend and a walking reminder that she should smile more because she has a resting face that looks like she's planning your murder and would do it any sec

Before he even answered we were called to already go to the main stage of the studio. We greeted the audience as they all cheered till we had our sit

"Oh my god, Hello" ellen smiled widely at y/n making me also chuckle

"Hi?" She responded nervously

"Ok so Scarlett has been here a lot of times and this is your first time right?"

"Yeah.."

"Welcome to the show!" Ellen excitedly says as the audience cheered

"thankyou.." y/n responded awkwardly making me worried at some point.. i mean why is she so uncomfortable..i haven't seen her like this at all

"are you ok? You look nervous" ellen chuckled suddenly grabbing y/n's thighs... Now i know why

"soo uhm...can we make a deal that no one will randomly pop out of that box?" I changed the topic making her release y/n

Everyone laughs but i can still see the amount of emotions overwhelming y/n. I faced away from the audience giving her a reassuring smile trying to comfort her.

"Uhm...why don't we change seats? I mean everyone already saw me but why don't we give your fans a closer look of this gorgeousness?" I asked being completely agreed by everyone while y/n just looked at me hesitantly

"It's ok" i mouthed at her earning her nod

We changed sits and you can notice how much her mood Change being finally comfortable

We discussed about the film and what's our experience working together and if i know that y/n is a die hard fan of mine... Which she clearly is open about... I'm literally the only thing she talks about on every interview I've seen of hers

"I have one last question tho" ellen fixed her sitting position

"Are you two together?" She asks and suddenly some paparazzi pictures of us showed on the screen.

From the park where we're talking pictures of each other..to my house when we were dancing in the rain and even the ones on canada.. i felt my self smiling on how cute they were and how happy we looked

"No" y/n suddenly says making me drop my expression

"You're not in a relationship?" Ellen asks again

"No, we're just friends" y/n responded not even stuttering...i could feel my heart shattered..

"Scarlett?" Ellen huffed noticing I looked so devastated

"Hmm? Yeah uh..w-were not together" i forced a smile

"Ok.. but what about this?" She asks showing a picture of us kissing in canada in the middle of the leaves falling.. in front of the sunset

"We knew we were being followed.. we're just messing with the paparazzi" y/n defended

I swallowed thickly trying my best to not let my tears fall.. it's just....it hurts..a lot... specially hearing those words coming from a person who made you feel so muched loved.

The interview ended and i just stormed off the studio while y/n immediately followed me from behind "Scarlett!! Wait!!" She huffed grabbing me by my wrist

Y/n pov

As i turned her around, she faced me clenching her jaw with her glossy eyes.."WHAT?!" she shouted wiping her nose but I'm still stunned on how fragile she looks

"YOU'RE JUST GONNA STAND THERE AND PITY ME???" She sobbed trying to remove her hand from my grip

"C-Can... We just.. t-talk outside?"  mumbled noticing everyone behind the studio is looking at us

"You're full of bullshit..." she breathes out shaking her head

I don't know what's happening to me but i just grabbed her pulling her to go inside the car. " LET ME GO!! YOU'RE H-HURTING MY WRIST!!" She complains but my vision just got dark and... didn't took no for an answer.

As soon as we got in i immediately locked the doors resting my back at the seat taking a deep breath while she tries to get out

"Scarlett...please.." i sigh

I Waited till we both calmed down knowing we might say words we don't mean if we talked while one of us is still furious.

"I'm sorry..." I mumbled

"T-That's all youre gonna say?" She sniffed looking away

I stayed quiet...my mind is so full of the reasons but i just can't express them It seems like I'm sabotaging myself

"You made me feel as if I'm the luckiest woman ever...you constantly showed me love and say every minute that you fucking love me...and yet you're ashamed to say to everybody that we're together?" She swallowed thickly facing me

"And.. that's real... I love you.."

"BULLSHIT.. what kind of fucking love is that?? y-you only love me when no one is looking...i-im done with these" she broke down into tears

" N-No...i-i... Scarlett.. "

" YOU WHAT??!? Y/N! SPEAK UP!! " she sobbed still shouting at my face

"I'm.. scared.. " i looked down also feeling her soften a bit

"I'm scared that if they find out what i really am...I'm gonna be abandoned again...this is the first year of my life where i actually felt loved... Appreciated.. and i don't wanna throw that out even if it means i get to hide the real me.. " i tried my best explaining feeling tears running down my cheeks

"Y/n... it's not your responsibility to be liked by anyone and---"

"YES IT IS.. YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND BECAUSE YOU GREW UP BEING LOVED BY EVERYONE"

"that's not true--"

"I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT MYSELF BUT TRUST ME.. you wouldn't understand...you were never that ugly fat gay kid who thinks to herself oh maybe if I'm smart someone will finally like me.. guess what??? THEY DIDN'T.." I scoffed catching my breath but she just looked at me with an unreadable expression

"I can't help you if you can't help yours..decide y/n.. I'm sorry but I'm not gonna settle for less this time.. it's either us or the other people's opinions about you" she firmly says reaching over to unlock the door before storming out
