Greetings mortals! So, Becky asked me to do write something, so I totally blame this on her... God, do you hate me Becky? Is that it? Because it's no secret I love Anna Camp, and any reminder that she's actually straight is sincerely depressing. Oh well. Becky is a friend, so I shall power through this. FUCK THOUGH! Ugh. Castin fucking sucks! ANNA SHOULD BE MIIIIIIIINNNEEEE!

On that note, this is a two shot and the second chapter will be up eventuallyish.

Do I need to put a disclaimer in? I mean, this is about real people, and obvi a work of fiction because Skylar Astin is alive... Oh well. I own nothing, Better safe the sorry I suppose!


Lies

You're never gonna love me, so what's the use?
What's the point in playing a game you're gonna lose?
What's the point in saying you love me like a friend?
What's the point in saying it's never gonna end?

You're too proud to say that you've made a mistake
You're a coward to the end
I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit
No, I'm not the type that you like
Why don't we just pretend?

Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth the fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh

You only ever touch me in the dark
Only if we're drinking can you see my spark
And only in the evening could you give yourself to me
Cause the night is your woman, and she'll set you free

You're too proud to say that you've made a mistake
You're a coward to the end
I don't wanna admit that we're not gonna fit
No, I'm not the type that you like
Why don't we just pretend?

Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth the fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh

Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth the fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh


Anna sighed loudly, trying to get the attention of the man next to her. However, not once did the man look up from the script he was reading, never once did he give any inclination the he even noticed the beautiful blonde next to him. Biting her lower lip, Anna stared hopefully, and a little sadly at Skylar, hoping that MAYBE just once, he would look up and give Anna something, a smile, a laugh, pat on the leg, ANYTHING that would show he cared she was there, even still cared about her.

However, he simply continued to flip through the pages of the new script, wrinkling his nose when he saw things he didn't like, and chuckling quietly to himself when he saw something funny. Never once did he look up, never once did he even speak up to share something he found amusing with Anna or to complain about something stupid. he just let himself be in his own little world. Fucking hell, the man showed more attention to some new script more then his GIRLFRIEND. Trust me, Anna got loving a new script, getting immersed in the world, but she didn't forget about the people around her!

With a huff, Anna stood up, and stalked away. She was about to leave the house but at the last moment, she turned and leaned against the door frame. Still reading, Skylar took no notice that Anna had even left. Angrily, Anna stalked back over to the couch Skylar was on and snatched the stupid fucking script out of his hands and held it out of his reach.

"What the fuck Anna?!" Skylar growled angrily, trying to get the pages back, "Give it back! That could be me next big role!"

"What are we doing Sky?" Anna asked sadly tears pricking her eyes, "I was sitting there for over an hour, and you didn't even do ANYTHING to show that you cared I was there. Do you still even love my baby, or is it all just a lie?"

"Wait, what?" Skylar spluttered, "Where the hell is this coming from?"

"Really Skylar?" Anna laughed mirthlessly, "You don't realize that we don't do anything together anymore? We don't go out anymore, we don't even cuddle. When was the last time we just sat and watched a movie together that WASN'T one of yours? Hell, when was the last time we even made love baby? That the only time you even TOUCH me is when your drunk and either want to celebrate or for stress relief! Skylar, I can't keep doing this."

"Oh my god, seriously?" Skylar spat, "You're blaming this on ME? Seriously, you can do that Anna? Fucking hell, you really are just some selfish bitch, just like everyone told me you were!"

"Excuse me?" Anna gasped, hurt, "Are you kidding me? I just spent the past hour practically SITTING in you LAP just to get you to acknowledge that I was there! I don't need much Skylar, I just need to know you love me, and right now, I don't think do! We don't have to go out on romantic dates, or take walks together, God knows we don't anyway, but I DO need you to care that I'm here. It doesn't have to be much, a smile, a pat, even just sharing something, but you don't do any of that!"

"Oh, so I have to TELL you everything, make it all about you all the time?" Skylar snapped, "God, you're such a needy, whiny whore! I can't believe you sometimes! This could be my big break! pitch Perfect 2 isn't for a while, and I need to keep my momentum going. I thought even YOU could understand that!"

"You know what? You right," Anna said not even bothering to wipe the tears sliding down her face, "You're absolutely right."

"THANK YOU!" Skylar sighed, holding his hand out for the script, "You've finally got it! Now, give me my script back!"

"Here Sky," Anna sighed sadly, giving the man the stack of papers back, "Hope you get this role, because we're done. I'm not going to do this anymore."

"Excuse me?" Skylar snarled, grabbing Anna's arm, holding her there, "Are you fucking breaking up with me?"

"Ow, Skylar, you're hurting me!" Anna cried, trying to pull away.

"Shut the FUCK up!" He growled, "You're not fucking leaving, now sit back down!"

"Let me go!" Anna shouted Trying to yank her arm free.

SLAP

The his came out of no where. Stunned, Skylar dropped Anna's arm and stared at the angry red mark on Anna's face dumbly, Bringing her hand up, Anna gently touched the sensitive skin, shocked that he had actually hit her. Slowly backing away from the man, Anna just shook her head. She was SO done here. How stupid could she have been to try and believe the lies again? Turning around, Anna all but sprinted out of the room and out of the away, Anna looked back in the rear view mirror, hoping that maybe Skylar would have come out, would have tried to apologize. However, there was no one there on the front step, no one there on the drive way, no one there at all.

Finally wiping her tears away, Anna drove off, still wishing that Skylar would try and make things right.


Three days.

That was how long it took Skylar to call Anna again.

Three whole long, miserable, regret filled days for Anna. She couldn't speak for Skylar, but she had a hunch that he wasn't as sorry as he had let on. but hey, maybe he really was sorry, but he also was a good actor and judging by the phone call, he wasn't.

"Anna?" Skylar said, once she had finally picked up the phone after the fourth straight call, "Baby please, can just talk about this?"

"What do you want Skylar?" Anna snapped.

"I just wanted to apologize baby," Skylar said, sounding regretful, "I should NEVER have hit you, and you were right. I've been a dick lately, and haven't been paying you the attention you deserve. You were right baby, and I'm SO sorry."

"Oh really, I'm right?" Anna said sarcastically, though her heart soared a bit that he had apologized. She'd stay strong though "And you're sorry. Wonderful. Tell that to the bruise on my cheek Skylar!"

"Shit, that bruised?" Skylar said, sounding rather panicked, "I'm so sorry baby, I never meant to hurt you! Please, Anna baby, let me make it up to you!"

"Oh really, and how would you do that?" Anna sighed, though she had already forgiven him. He just didn't need to know that.

"I was thinking we'd go camping together!" Skylar said hopefully, "I mean, you're last name IS camp, and I thought it would be a fun thing for the two of us to do together. What do you say babe?"

Anna sighed, slightly disappointed. She actually really dd hate camping. Screw what her last name was, she wasn't a camper. But Skylar sounded so please with himself, and they'd finally be together. As her character, Aubrey Posen, once said "screw it, let's just do it". For Anna, a weekend in the woods with Skylar sounded doable. And plus, if it really would just be them, that meant that they'd be together, and that's all she really wanted.

"Just us?" Anna asked.

"Yes sweetie, just us, I promise!" Skylar said in a rush.

Anna let the line go dead for a second for effect. Thankfully, Skylar couldn't see this, but she was smiling and doing a little happy dance. Just the two of them for an entire weekend, it sounded like a dream come true for her. Skylar had been so distant lately, and Anna was so excited to have a chance to it just be the two of them again. She actually couldn't remember the last time it was just the two of them.

"Alright fine!" Anna huffed, doing her best to hide her excitement.

"Awesome baby! Thank you so much!" Skylar said happily, "This weekend's gonna be great, I promise."

"I hope so," Anna smiled, "So see you then?"

"Defs Angel," Skylar said, "Oh, one quick thing sweetie pie?"

"Yes Sky?" Anna asked, hopefully, "What?"

"I was wondering..." Skylar said nervously, "You didn't like report me to the police or anything, did you? Because if you did, I totally deserve it, but if you didn't please don't Angel. That would really bad for me, and honestly, I'm not cut out for jail."

"Yeah, no babe, I didn't," Anna said, disappointed that she hadn't heard those three little words, "You weren't yourself, I get it. I won't report it but I need you to promise you'll never do it again."

"No, never again, I swear Angel Pie," Skylar said, sounding rather relived, "Alright, well I got an audition in twenty, so I'll see you then.

"Bye Skylar, I love-" Anna started to say, but already the line had gone dead.

staring at her phone, Anna sighed. Whenever they were alone, Skylar never said that he loved her, never said that he even liked being with her. Of course when they went out, it was all smiles and cutsey coupley shit, but alone, she got nothing. She was fighting so hard to keep Skylar right now, fighting to defend him against friends who thought he was no good, against her family, and even some of her fans. Honestly, it was exhausting, and sometimes, she didn't even know if it was worth the fight.

She just wanted that perfect little romance. Not the whole grand gestures and long walks on the beach, though they were nice. She just wanted his love. She wanted him to bring her favorite coffee when he came around, or to just hold her close to him when they were together. She wanted them to laugh at the silly cartoons on and to be able to just fall asleep curled up in his arms.

Instead, now she was happy when he remembered to give her a kiss before he left. She had gotten use to the long lonely nights, the lack of love. He said he loved her in public, but never once did he say it without someone else around to hear it. Did he even really love her, or was it all just a lie? Closing her eyes, Anna willed herself to think of something happier. Like this weekend. After this weekend, it would all be better. It would all change.
