TWW 17

"Good morning, folks! We are live in Mevious Radio 1 and here with us today are the FabFour and their queen to talk about their campaign on Mental Health," the host said.

"Thank you so much, Johnny, for having us today," Arabella replied.

"But I won't forgive your introduction, she's MY queen, not ours!" Luke joked. They all laughed as Johnny apologized.

"Anyway, many listeners are becoming interested in this Mental Health movement. So, do you mind sharing how did this come about?"

"Well, it was OUR queen who suggested it," Owen answered, teasing Luke with the word our. They chuckled at his joke.

"You're familiar with the annual FAB Charity Ball, right? Well, she suggested to put this issue into the spotlight," Shane explained.

"We all agreed because we are all indeed suffering from mental health problems. As she said, we are all broken souls," Owen added.

"Wow!" Johnny commented.

"Yeah... who is perfectly happy in this world? Even comedians and clowns are crying behind those smiles," Luke added.

"That's absolutely true. My mom used to tell me that one of the saddest people on earth is someone trying to make you smile," Johnny said.

"Anyway, there's a text from one of our avid listeners, Lenny from Belgium, and this is her question: To Mrs. Adams, what is the most difficult part of the campaign? How did this movement change you?" Johnny read.

"Oh, nice questions! Thank you so much, Lenny. Well, starting something is always the difficult part. Also, not everyone is ready to bare his or her heart out, so approaching people was also a challenge. But I have learned great deals from this. Basing on the conversations I've had with people from various walks of life, I came to realize that people tend to ignore this issue not because it is not considered important, but because we are afraid of confronting our weaknesses--- our dark sides," Arabella answered.

"That's true. We don't open up to others because we fear that they might judge us or ridicule us," Luke added.

"After what happened to me and my family, I shunned everyone from my life. I hated myself for what happened. But, I slowly got back to my feet when I started talking to my family and friends again," Brad said. Everyone supported his answer.

"Lucky for us for having each other. How about those people who have no one in their lives?" Shane said.

"I totally agree, man," Johnny agreed to their statements. "Well, thank you so much folks for joining us today. And may I say, I am truly inspired by your stories and Luke, my man... you are one hell of a lucky guy!"

"That's why I fell in love with her!" Luke replied.

"Babe, we are on an international radio station!" Arabella scolded, thinking that her microphone was already turned off. Realizing that it wasn't she was red in the face.

They shared a hearty laugh as they teased Luke and Arabella.

They were in the hallway when Arabella spotted Mr. Harold, talking with his colleagues.

"Hi, Mr. Harold. Can I have a word?" she asked. Mr. Harold excused himself from his co-workers.

"I just want to say thank you for giving us this chance," Arabella sincerely thanked the old man.

"Well, I admire you as an eloquent speaker. I enjoyed the interview," he said casually. She smiled.

"See you around, Mr. Harold," Arabella said before leaving. He nodded.

Meanwhile...

"Thank you so much for coming today," Regina told the reporters that were present in the room. She was beaming while sitting in the middle with her co-stars.

"Regina, what's your opinion about your ex's wife's successful Mental Health campaign?" a reporter asked Regina during the presscon of her new movie.

"Well, I think it's a waste of time," Regina answered while smiling sweetly at the press.

"According to her, we are all broken, so we need one another's support. Do you agree?" another reporter asked.

"I'd say, she's just weak," Regina answered. "If she's strong enough, she doesn't have to seek for other people's support."

"This morning, she had an interview with the FABs and Luke mentioned that she is HIS queen and he loves him very much. Any comment?" a newspaper journalist asked.

"Nonsense! I think that's all for a show," she yelled. Regina was losing her cool at that time. She began to tremble in anger.

"By the way, this is a presscon for MY movie, so why do we have to talk 'bout that bitch now?!" she thundered. There was an awkward silence in the room. She was shocked by her action but never said a word.

"I am sorry ladies and gentlemen, she's very tired and a little sick today. Forgive her," her manager apologized as the reporters began to whisper with each other.

The presscon was canceled.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" her manager yelled at Regina, who looked anxious as she lit up a cigarette.

"It is not my fault! They kept asking me questions irrelevant to the movie," Regina defended.

"Really? Is that really the reason? Why don't you just accept the fact that you're jealous of her?" the manager screamed.

"Me? Jealous? You're joking!" Regina shouted back.

"Oh c'mon! Stop denying. Anyone can see it. That envy in your eyes," her manager insisted.

"I said I am not!" Regina shouted.

"I think that's the reason why Luke dumped you, you are too bitter and so full of jealousy," she said, mocking Regina as she spoke.

Regina suddenly slapped her. Her manager was shocked for a moment.

"Fuck you! How dare you! If not for me, you'll still be a lowly person," she said to her manager with scorn.

Still holding her cheek, her manager slapped Regina back. And pulled her hair.

"Who gave you a big break? If it wasn't for me, you are still a lowly bitch dancing on every executive's lap as you beg for an acting role," she whispered as Regina screamed in pain. Her manager forcefully released her hair pushing her to the cold concrete floor.

She walked away leaving Regina shaken. Before she reached the door, she turned back and spoke sarcastically, "By the way, I never envied you. In fact, I pity you. Because despite your wealth and glamour, you're one broken lonely soul."
