Backing Away

Friendship is a test of the capability of understanding and withstanding the personality of people. True friends who have stood the test of time are assumed to have undergone and overcome trials that could have ruin their relationship. Common issues involve falling in love with the same person, disloyalty, blabber-mouthing, money, and outgrowing each other.

The time Network Talent 1 (NT1) and Network Talent 2 (NT2) became friends, their fans were happy, as friends in the industry are hard to find. Moreover, fellow talents who support each other are valuable, as showbiz is nothing more than competition. As their friendship deepened, NT1 started seeing an odd behavior that has puzzled on the personality of NT2.

When the two are bonding, NT1 would notice NT2 scrolling the social media account of Intense Actor (IA). Then, NT2 would suddenly say that IA does not look happy with Present Partner (PP), as he seems to be forced in his actions toward PP. Sometimes, NT2 would curse at the uploads and even claim that PP is looking a lot like her. While NT1 would just humor her friend, she stepped up one time. NT1 told NT2 to stop browsing. NT2 said that she will not, as IA and PP ruined her sanity.

Worried, NT1 sought the help of Another Friend (AF) of NT2. AF said that NT2 has been behaving that way and sometimes, NT2 would get so drunk until she passes out. AF said that she has no idea why NT2 cannot seem to move on from the past. Further, many would be interested in NT2 if she lets go and moves on.

Meanwhile, NT1 is reflecting on how much she knows of NT2. On the one side, NT2 can be bubbly and fun to be with, but on the other side, NT2 can be such a war freak. NT1 thought that if she continues to tell NT2 to change her attitude toward IA, NT2 might turn her ire at her. Rather than be caught in the mess and be hated by NT2, NT1 decided to move away slowly. These days, with projects left and right, NT1 is busy and time that could be spent with NT2 is less. Thus, she has the convenient excuse in case NT2 wants bonding time with her.
