Walker Scobell⁵⁶

Walker and you had once been the most famous young acting couple, but jealousy and insecurities ended your relationship after four years together. Now, after having been everything, you had to be nothing.

Unfortunately for you, you still had to keep seeing him since you were working on the same set. You were Piper McLean, and he played Percy Jackson. On camera, you were friends; off camera, you hated each other. You made sure of it. You wouldn't look at him, you wouldn't speak to him, you treated him like he didn't exist.
Walker, for his part, appeared serious, calm, and distant. Professional. But deep down, he hadn't stopped loving you, nor desiring you, not for a single second.

Just seeing you walk across the set was enough to make him tense. The way you moved, how you laughed with others, how you avoided looking at him. He knew you by heart, and now he had to pretend you were just another one of them. He had to accept that you were no longer his.

Tonight, there was a party at a famous club downtown. Loud music, dim lights, people laughing everywhere. You went to unwind, to switch off. And you succeeded, at least for a while. Now you were dancing with a guy as if nothing mattered. Until he arrived. Walker came in late, as usual. He wasn't looking for you… but he found you anyway. In the middle of the dance floor, too close to someone else, too comfortable, too… oblivious, but he didn't do anything.

He just walked over to the bar as if nothing was wrong and ordered a drink. His expression didn't change. He kept staring at you; his every move was impossible for him to ignore. He wanted to go over, pull you away from that guy, and remind you of what you once were. He wanted to be the one who was with you.

When you turned to look at him, he acted as if you didn't matter to him. That made your blood boil. Your ego was wounded. You looked away in annoyance and moved even closer to the person you were dancing with, challenging him. As if you wanted to make it clear that he meant nothing to you anymore.
