Disclaimer: As well as quarantine, I tried to keep the story in a real world and conected it to the world events and I feel like there a certain topics that need to be addressed. Of course, this is how I feel about things that happened - especially in the fandom- but I’m not Henry, so I do not know for sure what is the reality, just my perception on the matter. The other disclaimer is that in the chapter is a song that reader writes, than in reality belongs to the dutch band Epica (the song is called Dreamscape - I totally recommend you to listen to this song, is absolutely beautiful ♥)

Your whole body hurt. Henry had been training you for the last few days. You would watch and imitate a few dance routines from the internet to burn calories and then work with him to gain some muscle and strength. In your new movie, you had a few action scenes and you needed to be prepare. In one of the scenes, you needed to carry a man big as Henry and sitting him on a chair to be able to chain him, for this man tried to kill your character and you needed him trapped to question him. In that particular scene, there was a fight previous in which you were able to leave him unconscious and now you had to carry his body from one room to another. You practice that scene with your boyfriend, but it was hard to carry him. He made things more difficult to you because he would laugh for he felt tingles down his body when you touched him and made you laugh as well. The farther you got was from the bed to the door, and your whole body aches so much after that. He encouraged you and told you that you'd eventually make it and that you still have plenty of time to practice - quarantine was still going and flies to the States weren't allowed at least until July, so you had for sure a few more months to prepare-. You managed to hold Kal on your arms once, but you almost dropped him accidentally because he began liking your face and making you laugh. Besides working on getting ready for your new movie, you were working on new music. One afternoon, making sure that you take all the necessary precautions, you and Henry went into a music store to buy instruments. The shop was closed due to the epidemic, but you knew the owner and was an old friend, so he made you a favour. You got a nice keyboard, a violin, a new electric guitar, amplifiers, microphones and equipment necessary to record. Henry helped you turn an empty room into a small studio where you could make and record music. You would send the partiture to your brand, then they'd record their parts separately and send it to you so you could put together. You were super excited because everything was going great. After finishing your first song, you went to Henry and played the song for him.

Try and define eternity No beginning and no end A world upside down Countless clouds on the ground I'm a figment of my imagination

Hunt for tricks of light (hunt for tricks of light) Thoughts painting colourful dimensions (dimensions)

If we could roam through fantasies No more dusk and no more dawn Every little grain of sand shapes the endless land Mirrors showing limitless reflections

Hunt for tricks of light (hunt for tricks of light) Thoughts painting new dimensions You can make our time stand still Come and read the sky (read the sky) Fly with the wings of true emotion (emotion)

And this time again It won't be the same Silent symphonies playing eternally Every step I take, every bone I break Every memory shares a symphony

Henry was speechless. He looked at you with such admiration, not believing how amazing his girlfriend was. He was new to your music, but now he was your biggest fanboy. You sometimes would sing lullabies for him when he had trouble falling asleep, and he'd do it with a big smile on his face. Henry was such a cheerful and hopeful person, that his energy and positivity was contagious. That's why it didn't take you long to see that he was not feeling well. Even Kal noticed the changed in his mood and would not separate from his side at all times, even at night. He usually slept on the couch, but now he wouldn't stop barking until he was allowed into the room. You used to make love every night, but in the last few days, he would fall asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. You tried to think that was due to the exhaustion from getting back into the gym to train for the series, but it was more than that. You had been there before, you knew that kind of tiredness came from an emotional place. On Sunday morning, you get up first and prepare a nice breakfast to enjoy in the garden. - What's going on, baby? - you asked him worriedly - Nothing, everything's great, baby.- he lied and you knew it. - You can tell me anything, you know that - you reminded him. He looked at you and sighed. Then, he took a deep breath and finally confessed what was going through his mind. - I'm just... is this whole Black Lives Matter situation. I always tried to stay away from topics that divide people, because I want to believe that no matter what political view people might have, that there's good in them. I always tried to remain impartial and try to help people come together, but I knew that this time things were different. I tried to let people know where I stand; that no matter how much I want peace among everyone, I stand against injustice, but apparently, I decided to take action too late and my words were not the right ones for people. I've received a lot of criticism and a lot of fans are disappointed. That hurts, disappointing people it hurts. But what hurts me the most is knowing that the most disappointed by this must be my friends. I don't want them to believe that I do not care about them or this matter, is just... - he sighed again, unable to finished his speech. You grabbed his hand and kissed it. - I know. I cannot say that your friends might not be a little disappointed like some of your fans, but I'm sure that they know that you love them, even if you could have done better for them. They know you, they know how you always were Switzerland in politics and social issues and they must be happy that at least you spoke about it, even if it wasn't much. - you said and smiled at him to cheer him up - You're new to this world, babe, but let me tell you is hard, no matter how hard you try to do things well. I became an activist after the shootings in schools and some people had problems with that. Then I said in an interview that I did not consider myself a democrat either, because I feel that at the moment that you label yourself, your opinion becomes bias, and I wanted to be free to choose my own opinions, and I received tones of criticism from the other side. As a feminist, I have been criticized for not marching or doing enough to fight inequality, and when I did it I was accused of using the topic for fame. The same thing with LGTBQ+ community, I've been told many times that I don't do enough for them and other times that I used them for publicity. The same thing happens with most of my celebrity friends. I've been accused of being transphobic for supporting Jared's role in Dallas Buyer's Club, when in reality it was me who took the time to, in a lovely manner, explain to him why people were mad about him taking that role and why they were right when they said that role should have been portrayed by a real trans woman. People also judge me for slut-shaming women in songs that I wrote when I was a teenager. They judge me because I'm a fan of horror cinema and I confessed my love for Rosemary's Baby -because it was directed by Roman Polanski. The truth is that there is always something that people would find to criticize you, don't let it get to you. And you shouldn't feel guilty. This thing has been happening for a long time in America, is not new and there are lots of people that started to talk about it recently. I also remained in silence for a long time. Talk about inequality among people of colour and white people in my Oscar's speech in 2016, because I thought it was necessary, giving the all that was going on at the time. But for a long time remained silent about police brutality. I did it because I did not want to look like the white girl that came to the rescue. I didn't know what to do, until not so long ago I had a conversation with a woman that worked with me many times in my music career. She's a woman of colour and after discussing the issue, she explained how I could use my voice to help her community and not being about me trying to be "a saviour" but actually being an ally. You'll find your voice. But know, that for little that it was your action, still was meaningful. You might have been late to the party and got there without a present, but you still went and that counts. - you assured him and kissed him, stroking his face. He put his forehead against yours and told you that he loves you. You got up and started to play with Kal and do silly things to make him laugh and fortunately, your plan worked.
