The whole thing seemed to go by in a blur.
A news story. Excess Hollywood. The two of them. A private moment.
Soul crushing news. Career-ending news.
His phone rings and he ignores it.
The photos were plastered all over the papers, all over the TV. Their relationship was suddenly the only thing anyone wanted to talk about.
A phone call from New York. Disownment. Hours of tears and consoling.
Phones unplugged and turned off.
A visit from a friend. A plan. A live interview. A rant. Being told he came off as "aggressive, and "emotional".
Sorrow turns to rage. A lawsuit. Photos that were taken on private property.
A blocked number calls. He throws out his phone.
The aftermath. Their careers are considered over.
Uncertainty for the future.
The feeling of drowning.
The understanding that they were drowning together.
