Hudson Griffin
Hudson's heart sunk as he heard Rob, his manger tell him the news. Or, the commands. He knew it'd been coming, it was bound to happen soon. Seeing that he wasn't even 21 yet, these people seemed to run his life. Heck, he was an adult, a young one, but he should be able to make his own choices right? Apparently not. You have to dump Rose. Like yesterday. Just the harshness in Rob's voice bite him a bit. Part of him wanted to lash out, punch him in the face, and fire him. Who needed him anyway. Dodger was all he wanted.. The other part of him said, Rob's helped you so much.. You've gotten so far, it's just one girl.. You can always find her again one day, come on everyone's counting on you.
His eyes lowered, he bit down on his tongue, thinking hard. Rob stood completely casual, like nothing was out of the ordinary. His agent Steve walked over, "Hudson, you're on in like," he started, and checked his watch, "ten minutes! Hurry up, kid." Steve ran away then, checking on everyone else. They were backstage of a talk show, ready to talk about Hudson's new movie. The reason the break up had to be so sudden was that he and his co star were revealing their 'relationship' to the public. Which he had no interest of having in the first place. Yeah, she was hot, but she was no Dodger..
After moments that felt like hours, he looked up to Rob. "Alright. I'll do it." Rob nodded, putting his hand on on Hudson's shoulder. "You're going places, kid. Remember that." And walked off. Maybe they were trying to help him, but he felt terrible. How could he tell the girl he loved that it was over? So he could date some random celebrity? He guessed he'd do what he did best, act.
Stepping outside, he check the time on his phone as he clicked the power button. The screen lit up, and showed him he had 8 minutes to get it over with. He pressed the number 2. He remembered back to when he got the phone, she was there. He'd even disguised himself and they went to the mall together. When they were dating he'd do whatever he could to let her have a normal relationship, she didn't seem too interested in his fame anyway. He recalled her being the first number he added, and his first speed dial. He sighed, pressing send on the phone.
His heart felt heavier each time the phone rung. Once.. Twice.. Three times.. Right before the forth ring started, she picked up. He didn't even hear what she'd said when she answered. He was too focused on the subject. He took a deep breath, exhaling, and said, "Dodger, we have to break up.." he quickly thought up of a reply, not wanting to give her room to talk yet. What he'd said seemed like the truth, and he needed a good reason to back it up, even if it was a lie. He didn't want to tell her the actual reason because, he was somewhat ashamed he had to do it. "I'm just not the into you anymore." a moment of silence passed, maybe she was shocked? when he heard Rob call for him. They were on in two minutes. "I have to go now.. Please don't call this number anymore." and he hung up, feeling terrible.
He walked beside his co-star, Natalie. She smiled, at him, and he looked down at her, and forced a smile back. At their cue, they linked hands, and he lead her onto the stage. The host had greeted them and introduced them as they sat down, and he put his arm around Natalie, on the back of the couch they were sitting on. He felt like maybe he'd feel alright, just for now, until he realized Dodger would probably be watching the show, to see him. He wondered if she would now.
