《My Hollywood System》MHS - Chapter 186
Advertisement
After a few more days of being admitted in the hospital, Will was finally out. And the best thing for him was that this was the day he finally got to sleep in his own bed after a long time. His bed was one of the few things that he really liked and it was very comfortable to sleep in it for him.
The very next day after he got home, he decided to take a break and not work. Because, after the incident with Collins, there were things that gained his attention. He realised that if he really died one day, he might literally be all alone. After the incident, things started to show itself in front of his eyes.
He realised how he was always working. With no break, and while even ignoring people around him who were there for him, he was continuously working. The fact that he did not have any friends started to hit him like a hard cold brick in the face.
Even if Jeffery and him had a relationship to be called as friends, apart from work they had never met outside to meet or talk properly. It was the same with Robert and he was more like a mentor to both Leo and Andrew.
Although it never bothered him too much before, he started to notice it after he almost died.
‘Everything flashes before you when death comes knocking. It’s called Life.’
Will felt this quote to the core.
He also remembered how June was always there for him. But due to all the work and everything else, he had ended up neglecting her unlike anything ever.
Thinking of all the situations, people and his own relationships, he thought that it would be better if he started to notice people.
Because if one day, he died, he knew that there might be no more than a few who would actually mourn for his death.
On the other hand, the only reason why he became such a workaholic was his system; the system naturally made him think as if he had a responsibility to make every type of movie that this world had not seen before.
He knew that making movies that do not exist here was his goal and easy path to success, yet if he tried making every movie that people here had not seen before, it would take him decades; if not centuries.
Because of that, he tried to give his everything to make movies and grow his business, but in the end, it only made him more lonely.

For all such reasons, he decided to take a week off and mend things as much as possible. Things like his relationship with June and the other people in his life, such as Jeffery, Robert and Leo.
He spent a lot of time with June at home, watching movies and just enjoying each other's company. He even called Jeffery, Robert and Leo to his home to hang out as even if he wanted to go out, the paparazzis would swarm them with the amount of attention they were giving him.
It seemed like his popularity had increased exponentially after coming back from a coma.
Like this, his break went on until the last day of his break arrived. As he was already bored of being home, he decided to go on a date with June.
But he knew that paparazzi won't let them be, so he made a plan.
He informed Amanda to secretly inform media companies that Will and June would have a date in the five star hotel where Will had already made reservations so that they would not focus any attention towards them.
It was mainly to divert their attention and get some nice time together.
“Are you ready?” Will questioned with a light smile as June came out from the bedroom, ready for the date.
“Yeah, you look happy, Will.” She mentioned it while walking out of the house.
“We have not been on a date for a long time. That's why.” Will said and opened the door of the car for her.
Will walked around the car and got in.
“Where are we going?” June asked.
“You will know soon. I just want some relaxing time today.” Will said, starting the car.
They both took off. During the small ride, they kept talking about random things that happened during the week. It was just small talk but the atmosphere around them made them look very happy.
In the end, the car stopped at a small cinema hall.
“Here we are, put on the mask so no one would recognize you, oh and take this hat. It would be a problem if anyone saw us here and posted a photo on social media.” Will said, passing on the mask.
He knew that both of them would look a bit suspicious but it was better than nothing. Moreover, if they don't stay at one spot for a long time, people would not focus on them a lot.
June, who understood what he said, wore the mask and got out of the car.

Will grabbed June’s hand and they walked hand-in-hand inside the cinema hall.
“What are we even watching?” June asked in a whisper and looked over at Will
"An indie movie called [Together at Last]. I heard he got good ratings. Oh, there's the poster!"
June looked at the poster that stood beside the poster of an action movie. A couple was holding hands while looking at each other in the poster. It was a very generic poster.
After paying for the tickets and buying popcorn, they went inside of the theatre to watch the movie.
“So, you like it? It's always like the time when we were not famous.” Will asked as soon as they got in.
“It’s fun.” She said quickly, while more people kept walking inside the theatre. Her focus moved on to them and she smiled back again at Will. “A small theatre, a movie, popcorn and you beside me sure does sound fun,” She whispered as if she only wanted Will to hear that.
The movie started and throughout its running minutes, everyone including Will and June enjoyed it. [Together At Last] was a rom-com movie where a couple decided to split up as they wanted a break and tried to date other people.
Both of them even find different people and try to help each other by becoming friends but their relationship eventually falls out and a lot of drama happens but Will thought that it was portrayed in a very subtle tone and didn't seem too overbearing.
The movie ended with both of them realising their feelings, and getting back together, eventually deciding to marry.
It was pretty generic and simple.
Nevertheless, the movie was wholesome and everyone including June enjoyed it a lot. It was not the brightest idea but was executed very well with good jokes and strong performances.
“That was really good.” She said with a smile as soon as the movie ended.
As the credits rolled, June and Will stood up and sneaked out of the theatre, trying to reach the car quickly and get out of here as staying in the theatre too much meant their identities could be in danger.
“Where are we headed next?” June asked playfully as she was having a great time today, finally going on a date with Will.
“Obviously to eat something, aren’t you hungry?” He asked while igniting the gas of the car.
“Very hungry indeed. What do you think would have happened if the couple didn't get together?” June asked, looking at him.
"A sad ending. They are better suited to be friends but no one said friends can't be good husband and wife. Moreover, it's good the ending was happy. There's too many sad endings in rom coms these days just to make them realistic."
The whole ride till the restaurant, they kept talking about the movie and other things. After a week of full freedom, Will’s mood was good and even June was feeling great considering how much time he has been giving her recently.

“How did the filming of [Terminator] go? Tell me about everything.” Will asked, looking at June.
They were in the restaurant that Will had made reservations for, and as soon as they entered it June smiled muttering ‘looks wonderful’ due to how good it looked. After they reached the chairs, they started talking about different things. Will wanted to ask about how June’s work has been going since quite a long time, but he did not get the perfect opportunity. But with how things have been flowing with the conversation regarding work, Will thought it is the perfect moment to ask.
It was also mainly because he knew James Cameron was a strict director, he wanted to ask how it was for June.
“Well, Charlie tried to flirt with me, basically wanting to hook up with me,” June said while looking Will in his eyes.
“What did you do? That guy is known for hooking up with actresses. I heard rumours that he thinks he's very attractive as he has a great body and is popular.” Will questioned, raising his eyebrows.
As June was going to work with him, he obviously had gotten a lot of background information on him.
“I slapped him.” June said casually. Hearing the words, a chuckle slipped off Will’s lips and June joined him for a few seconds.
Will thought to himself that he would handle things about Charlie later. He had enough connections to make people like Charlie remember to not move past their lines.
“I’m very sure [Terminator] would give you the fame you deserve." Will said after a while.
June shook her head at the thought and said, “I don’t know about that but there is something I wanted to say.”
She said, hesitating a bit and suddenly looking a bit odd, like she was trying to tell him some sort of secret.
“What is it?” Will questioned looking at her.
“I’m thinking of starting a studio.”
