A/N: Hello guys! I hope you enjoy this first chapter, please vote and comment. Thanks you're the best❤ sorry if there are any grammatical errors guys
*Note: I do not own the idea of the Roommate reality show. It's actually a really cool show and I respect the directors and producers. Also, some characters are everyday South Korean actors/idols while some are not. So please don't get confused hehe. Love you all*
---------

The crowd cheered as I made my way into the stage. My hand was wrapped against a young actors arm, his tuxedo matched with my dark red dress that showed off my curves extraordinarily. The young man besides me that I didn't even bother to remember his name smiled at me making me grin back at him.
We stopped in front of the microphone and we see people underneath wave light sticks in the air as they cheered for us.
I smiled at the camera slowly making its way to us, my hand unwrapped from the young man's arm as he gave me the envelope who contained the winner for the category we had to present.
"So far so good, right Sage?" the young man said in front of the microphone. The people settled down to hear our presentation, I smiled at the camera and nodded.
The man takes a breathe and clapped his hands together, "Tonight we will be awarding the best kiss scene, gee it's getting hot in here" he said shaking his head and using his hand as a fan to cool down.
People around us chuckled at the cute young man besides me, "Calm down, we haven't even started" I said into the microphone with a fake giggle, the young man nods and smiles at the crowd.
"You know, as an young actor who is barely starting, I would like for you to tell me how it feels to have a steamy moment on camera" the young man says exactly as we rehearsed. I nodded and laughed with the crowd as we all knew that in my recent T.V. show was full of steamy moments for me.
"Well, first of all, you have to get into character. Don't think of the people behind the cameras at that moment, just think of how you will get the scene perfect"
The man nods and looks around the auditorium showing interest to my advice. I feel a sneaky had rest on my back, the young man just smiles at me and I continue talking.
"Second, know what you are doing of course, you can't just throw yourself at the person" I say with a obvious voice making people chuckle around me.
"Of course, I will definitely know what I am doing" he says as gives me a charming smile and the crowd cheered at him.
I simply raise my brows amused and the crowed cheered harder at the funny attempt of seduction from the young actor.
I feel his hand move down slowly, his face seemed amused at the fact that he knew I didn't like anyone touching me.
"Now presenting--"
"Wait Sage, maybe we should recreate on of your kiss scenes" the young man said. My insides twisted as I didn't remember that in the script or rehearsal.
I regain my posture and look at the crowd for my partner in the show. The crowd whistled and nudged the man in his seat who just covered his face in embarrassment as he laughed.
"I don't think my Samuel would like to get out of his seat" I laughed and pointed at the man seating a few rows back with a red face.
"Oh no, I meant recreate it with me" he says and winks at the camera. The crowd goes crazy at the thought of actually having us kiss on stage.
I open my mouth but the young actors arm around me pulled me closer, the crowd laughed and cheered. He smiled at me and I just blinked my annoyed face for the sake of the award show, he leaned closer but I turn and focus ok the camera "The nominees for the 'Best Kiss Scene' are..." I present and the lights go dim for the people to look up at the screens behind us. Taking advantage of that moment my high heel stomps onto the young actors foot, he screams in pain but the crowd didn't hear as they cheered at the screen with the nominees best kiss scene.
He stumbled back and bit his lip, he looks up at me surprised and I just look down with a blank expression, the lights come back up and my blank face turned into a bright smile in an instant.
"The winner is..." the young actor says with a pained expression, I open the envelope slowly as a background music makes the moment intense.
"The winner is... Nina Dovrev and Ian Somerhalder!" I shout with a small smile.
The fans cheered as they stood up and made their way up the stage, Ian kissed my cheek then Nina gave me a hug.
A young woman hands me the award and I give it to Nina, they thanked their fans and the producers while I spaced out.
As soon as they finished we all walked to the back of the stage and disappeared backstage.
The workers congratulated the actors who won and smiled at me shyly.
"What was that?" a young man questioned angrily. I look at him and frown, "Who are you?"
"What do you mean?! I just presented the award with you! I am Sam Baker" he said with a rising anger.
"Oh! Yeah, so?" I ask and make my way to my dressing room calmly. The Sam guys follows me and grabs my arm causing me to turn around.
"How dare you step on me? Now my shoes are ruined--"
"Look Sam. First let me go" I say with a deadly stare, he looks taken aback at the sound of my voice and finally lets me go.
I let an annoying sight escape my lips, "I don't care about those stupid shoes, touch me again like in stage or right now and my heel stabbing your foot will be the least of your worries, got it?" he gulps at my words and looks down.
"You crossed a line out there. We didn't rehearse a kiss on stage" I say and place my hands on my hips, "Follow the script next time, don't mess with me" my voice sounded deadly.
My finger pocked forcefully his chest making him take a few steps back.
"You disappointed me today kid, you thought I was actually going to kiss you? Oh please! I didn't even know your name until now, that's how little I think of you. Now scatter you little brat" I demand and Sam turns around and leaved with a scared expression.
I sight and turn around to find a tall, muscular figure leaning against my dressing room door. He looked at me with a sexy smirk, his blue eyes twinkled with desire. He breathed and turned to open the dressing room for me, I simply give him a sexy smile while making my way inside.
"You should be more nice" his low, sexy voice says.
"You know I am not nice" I whisper in his ear as he closes the door, my whole body shuddered with lust as he forcefully slams me against the door he just closed.
I giggle and wrap my arms around his neck, "I am sorry you didn't win any awards tonight" he whispers and leans to kiss my neck making my head lean back wanting more.
"It's okay" I say as he finally kisses my lips forcefully.
His hands trail down my body, enjoying every curve of my body, he grunts and deepens the kiss.
One of his hands start to unzip my dress and I eagerly wait for him to rip the dress away from my body--
"Hey! Sage is your manager there? I can't find him!" A knock and a scream make us stop our actions.
I grunt and put a finger against my lips to signal him to be quiet, to keep doing what we were doing. He smirks and shakes his head, he pushes me gently from the door. He checks his appearance in the mirror before opening the door with a smile.
"Hey Troy! I am right here what's wrong?" he says with a bright expression.
"Oh hi Mark! Here you are, your wife is on the phone" the assistant hands Mark, my manager, his phone. He takes it in his hand and thanked the assistant who then walked away.
He closes the door, "Hi baby, what's wrong?" he says softly on the phone and sits on the couch.
He laughs and jealousy bubbled inside of me, I give him a sneaky smile as I sat on his lap. He rests his hand on my thigh while the other held the phone against his ear.
He looks at me and smiles, my heart skipped a beat and at the sight. I leaned in and kissed his lips, in the dead silence I could hear the annoying female voice coming from Mark's wife. His wife kept talking and talking while I kissed his lips and neck, he bit down on his lip as I kissed him softly.
"Of course that I am listening honey" he says with his eyes closed while he enjoyed my kisses, which made a wide smirk appear.
He mouthes a 'no' and glares at me when I didn't stop. My lips form a pout, but he simply dismisses me. I shake away the thought of Mark's rude action and headed to the closet to see what I would be wearing for the awards show's after party.
A tight, blue night dress waited for me on the hanger making me smile in satisfaction. The color blue was my favorite, it reminded me of the small house with blue walls that formed my childhood.
"Oh yeah, I am heading to her dressing room now" Mark says as he stands up and walks slowly behind me.
One of his hands moves my hair to my right shoulder, revealing my bare left shoulder. Mark's index finger draws a line from my jaw line to the end of my shoulder making me throw my head back and rest on his chest. My manager's tall figure smelled of cigarettes and the fresh cologne his wife would give him every anniversary.
"Oh here she is! Sage hey! It's my wife, she wants to talk to you" he says with a fake bright voice, but I knew his eyes were fixed on my low cleavage.
He hands me the phone and I take it with a small sight. I clear my voice and prepare a squeaky happy voice, "Hey Amanda! How are you?"
I hear a small giggle, "Oh! Sage it is really you! I thought Mark was just fooling around. Anyways honey. I saw you presenting with Sam Baker! That young man is an angel on his new show--" she rambled on.
But my focus was on Mark's hands unzipping my dress from behind, my dress slipped off and fell on the floor in less than a second. Now the only thing covering me was my strapless bra and my matching lace panties.
He chuckles at the sight and passes a hand through my low knee to my waist slowly, making me beg for more.
"-- But as I said you should come once again for dinner one day, you looked so pretty on those Valentino shoes I swear!" she giggles and I fake a small laugh.
"Well, if Mark let's me go, I'll be happy to assist you guys in your dinner" I slowly trying to avoid a small moan from escaping my lips as Mark kisses my neck slowly.
I gulp and regain my posture, "Oh don't worry about Mark! I am his wife, he always does as I tell him" she laughs as if it was the most hilarious comment ever.
"Of course" I say and watch on of his curious hands caress my stomach, his lips nibble on my skin expertly.
I place my free hand on his head and push him down on my neck, my lips parted as pleasure flooded my body.
"Sage? Hello?" the phone says.
"Oh I am sorry, the make up team just got here, thank you for the invitation to your house though, I'll consider it" I say out of breathe.
"Are you okay honey? You sound out of breathe"
"Oh yeah, don't worry. I am a little tired, but don't worry. I'll make your husband take good care of me" I say with a sneaky smile.
"Oh! I bet you are tired, honey. I am sorry for bothering you, tell me if Mark doesn't take good care of you okay?"
I smile as I feel his hands going up to my body, "He is really good at what he does, I don't think there will be a problem, have a good night" my fingers quickly end the call and Mark finally chuckles.
"Am I really good at what I do?" he asks as he turns me around from my waist.
I look up at him and fix his messy hair, his growing beard looked perfect on his smiling face. He looked perfect, he always looked perfect on my eyes.
"Let's skip the after party, tell your wife you have to work on some paperwork and let's go to my place" I whisper as my hand touched his cheek.
He flinches at my touch, and looks to his side making my hand drop. I clench my jaw and look at the ground feeling anger, embarrassment, and jealousy at the same time.
"You are going back to her, aren't you?" I say when I clear my throat.
He looks at the ceiling and then at me, his expression was unreadable but deep inside I knew that at the end of the day I was always the other woman.
I forcefully slap his hands off my waist, he releases an annoyed sight but doesn't say anything else as he sit down on the couch and starts playing flappy bird on his phone.
I clenched my jaw once more and shook my head, a tear trailed down my cheek but I quickly regained my posture.
My hands unhooked the blue dress and I slipped in it quickly. I reach for the zipper at the back of the dress and struggle, Mark makes his way up to me and starts to zip up my dress.
I quickly slap his hand away, "Don't touch me. Don't help me. You only unzip dresses, not zip them"
This time he clenches his jaw and his jawline looked sexier as ever. He grabs my zipper again and zips it in less than a second, we looked at each other from the mirror in front of us.
We both stared at each other with out a word, he moves my hair from my neck once again and leans to kiss it. But this time I struggle against his grip, he didn't look at me through the mirror again but his body radiated annoyance making me gulp.
"No" I say without fear. Or at least I wanted to think that I had no fear of his dark side.
I try to free myself from his back hug but he only tightens it even more making me wince at his death grip.
"Stop being an annoying pain on the ass, Sage" he says lowly against my ear making me want to run underneath a rock and hide.
I breathe and try to free myself once again, he growls and throws me to the side. My body crashes against the closet making the doors swing open, I breathe once again.
How can we go from lovers to abusers in less than a second?
I bite down on my tongue to prevent myself from screaming in pain.
"If you leave a bruise, I swear--"
He quickly kneels beside me making me flinch, he grabs my face forcefully with his hand. His fingers held me tightly in place so I could look at him.
"You can't do anything to me Sage. You are the ticking bomb here, not me. I am keeping you afloat from your sad reputation, young lady"
His fingers pressed hard on my cheeks making me wince.
"You are hurting me, stop being rough on me" I say and he shakes my head from side to side rapidly making me dizzy. He then lets me go, my body swings to the side but my hands press down on the carper making me regain my balance before it was too late.
He stood up and fixed his tuxedo, Mark looked down at my helpless body with a smirk.
My manager knew that I was his stupid puppet, I knew I had to follow orders or else my reputation, my work, will all go down to hell.
"You like it rough anyways Sage" he says with an amused laugh. Mark walks out of the room and I finally breathe properly.
I hear a knock on the door, making me stand up and opening the door.
My makeup and hair ladies smiled at me, they came into the room and closed the door. They made me sit down and rambled on about how great I looked on stage earlier while they did my makeup and adjusted my curls.

3rd POV
When Sage finished with her makeup and hair, she opened the door to walk out but a floating bouquet of roses blocked her way. The person behind the roses peeked out and a tall young man's face appeared. His face was slim and well built, his eyes were blueish- green.
Adorable freckles covered his face while his thick eyebrow looked perfect without effort.
Sage cringed at the adorable, yet familiar face. The man smiled at her and Sage could hear her makeup artist sight at how romantic the gesture was.
The thing was, that Sage didn't believe in love, she believed in the idea that she had to make herself think that Mark was the one for her.
But he was married, yet she tried to believe that Mark will one day knock on her door on a rainy day with his hands holding suitcases, tell her he loves her and how he finally left his wife for her.
"Sage. These are for you" the young man says and Sage accepts the flours with an awkward smile.
"Thank you Jake" Sage says as she hands the flowers to her makeup artist. The lady smiled at the young man while he only had eyes for Sage.
Jake Garret, the best soccer player in his college team that became famous due to his perfect shots that soon turned to goals.
Jake was battling between what team he should accept when college ends, but seemed to be more busy trying to win his 'girlfriends' heart when he knew there was some tension between her manager and her.
He brushed off the feeling of awkwardness Sage transmitted and grabbed her hand to drag her to the outside of the building where every single famous actor and actresses stood to take pictures or have interviews done.
Some cameras started clicking their way as Jake carefully leaded her down the carpet. Sage smiled and waved, she wrapped her hand on Jake's well built arm making her feel uncomfortable.
"Sage! Sage! Here here!" the paparazzi shouted as the cameras flashed and took picture of the perfect couple.
Or that's what other people said, while other thought that Jake was too good of a boy for a troubled girl like her. With her short temper and attitude many hoped she would date a guy who would dominate her personality and make her a better person.
Sage's troublesome ways kept her on the chart, giving her popularity boosts yet gained haters throughout the years.
Sage had been through it all, battling depression and not eating for months until the people now talked about how disgustingly skinny she was.
Her manager Mark with the help of his wife, listened to her problems like her own parents until Sage got involved with Mark. Eventually Sage got better, she worked hard to not let Mark down but to also look more like a woman to the man she was falling for. Sage with her 21 year old naivety thought that Mark would leave his wife for her. Who wouldn't want a sexy, young actress? Everyone thought she was pretty, everything on her was fixed for the sole reason of Mark's satisfaction, yet he always left the next day to his wife.
Thanks to this, Sage grew with anger and jealousy making her drink and drive, or punch paparazzi on the face; but still he wouldn't leave her wife. Sage tried to stop the affair but always grew closer to Mark unconsciously, she was so attracted to the man who had 15 more years of life experience on his belt.
She hoped and hoped for Mark to choose her, even 'till this very day. Sage was 23 years old now but the dream of her having Mark as her own was still present in her heart.
"You didn't have to pick me up" I say as we leave the paparazzi behind. She tried to let go of her arm but remembered that they needed to look like a decent couple at least today.
"You are my girlfriend, I am supposed to do all this stuff for you" he looks at me with a bright smile who can melt any girls heart, but Sage didn't budge at the cute smile her boyfriend created.
"Yeah, girlfriend" she gulped and waved at some of her friends across the carpet, Jake waved as well and she could see how her friends sighted at how hot he looked on the tux.
"Where are we going?" Sage asked as the soccer player opened the door of the limousine, he just smiled and sat down besides her.
"Sage, I know I've been very busy lately with practice and advertising for my team... but tonight is all about us. I promise, no calls, no stops, no bosses. Just you and me" he grabbed her pale hands on his and smiled down at her.
Sage looked down to her heels letting blonde curls cover her face which showed pity towards the poor gal besides her.
"You are taking the fake boyfriend too seriously Garret. I feel like this is too much right now" she says without making eye contact with the boy.
The 21 year old soccer player gulped and placed Sage's hands on her lap, he looked put the widow feeling embarrassed of himself.
Did I just get rejected again? He thought to himself about the many things that made him start falling in love, yes love, with Sage.
She looked sweet but deadly at the same time, how can any man not look at her? She was a piece of artwork. He was proud to be called her boyfriend, all his teammates envied the youngster for having this actress besides him. But every time they mentioned her he felt the need to talk bullshit of how she was so caring to him when he knew that she didn't even touch his shoulder willingly.
Jake snapped back to reality as Sage stretched her hand to the small table in front of the seat. She took a glass and poured herself some wine, the blonde figure gulped the liquid like water making Jake feel uneasy.
Starting the night happy, are we Sage?
              ------------*-------------
After the party, Sage and Jake left... or musr I say Jake carried a drunken Sage safely to his car parked on the back exit. No paparazzi to see her horrible state, Jake sighted as Sage opened her eyes and got inside the car by herself.
He started the car and pressed the gas to get the car moving fast. Sage just stared at the high heel on her hand, "Jake, am I pretty?"
The question made Jake gulp and smile, "Of course you are"
"Well... why am I the other woman? Why does he make me feel like a toy at the end of the day?" Jake tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
Sage thought that the 21 year old boy didn't know anything about the her having an affair with Mark, which was half true. Jake didn't know who the man she was seeing was, but he knew she loved him and how he was on a one-sided love relationship. The thought of Sage on another man's arms made him want to punch and kick like a little kid throwing a tantrum.
"I am taking you home Sage, everything will be fine" Jake said as he reached to touch Sage's half sleepy face.
Gosh I love the woman, he thought as the blonde took his hand in hers and feel asleep.
          ------------*-------------
My head hurts like hell.
Was first thought that popped into Sage's head, she opened her eyes but instantly closed the due to the sun shining on her eyes.
"Oh gosh, I am going to die" she murmured to herself over and over again until she noticed that the place she was on was her bed.
"How the--" she looked around her room and noticed no on there. She sighted eliminating the worries she had about where she was, Sage looked at her own body under the covers and noticed she had a night gown on... but backwards.
The blondie sat up and touched her head because of the pulsating pain. The doorknob twisted and her eyes naturally widened.
Who's here? she thought of all the possibilities but couldn't think of anyone.
Suddenly Jake enters with a tray of food in his hands, his eyes widened as he saw Sage sitting on the bed; the youngster smiled brightly at how innocent she looked with her night gown on backwards and her blonde curls looking like bird nests. Jake had never seen this side of her since they weren't close enough to have night talks without cameras around them, he walked up to Sage and set the tray on the bed in front of her.
"Goodmorning sunshine" he got a grape from the food tray, threw it up in the air and catched the grape with his mouth, "You definitely are not a morning person"
Sage's eyes widen as she runs to the bathroom and sights, Jake simply chuckles and throws himself on the bed but instantly regretted the decision as the grapes fell over him.
"Oh gosh" Sage mumbled as she cleaned the smudged makeup from her face.
So embarrassing, she thought and scoffed at she heard Jake turn the TV.
"What are you doing here?" Sage says over the TV's sound.
"I never left" he says and Sage drops her toothbrush making a 'clink'. Jake chuckles once again at Sage's clumsiness, "Don't worry, we didn't do anything"
Sage's heart beats steadied when the words escaped Jake's mouth, "Oh my gawd! Jake please be more specific about stuff... Jeez... I just had a small heart attack"
"Sorry, I slept on the couch... I didn't touch you don't worry. But you kept wanting me to sleep with you" he said like it was the most hilarious thing in the world, Sage in the other hand felt her cheeks turn red like a tomato.
"I really need to control my drinking I swear" she murmured to herself as she fixed her night gown and finally opened the bathroom door to see Jake playing with the grapes.
"Where is your tux? You didn't have to stay by the way..." she said as she made her way to her bed and sat next to Jake. He passes her the a mysterious looking soup and he just winks at her, "It's for the hangover" he shrugged.
"You didn't answer my question" she said taking a spoonful into her mouth and to her surprise it was actually good.
"Well, I had my practice bag on the car so I just changed, I stayed because I couldn't leave you alone at that state... you puked 4 times on your way in the house, you might want to tell your gardener by the way" he points out the window which had the sun rays passing through trying to hurt Sage's eyes.
"And... my night gown? You dressed me?" the blondie asked while eating more soup, he shook his head and ate another grape.
"Your drunken self actually likes me more than your sober state... I feel flattered actually, you wanted me to play with you and help you with your night gown" Sage's eyes widened as she choked on her soup thanks to the comment earning a laugh from the soccer player, "I told you that if you dressed yourself on the bathroom maybe we could play, you Sage Brown" he pointed at her making her gulp down the soup on her mouth, "You, THE Sage Brown skipped and sang 'Baby' your way to the bathroom until you fell asleep in the tub"
He burst out in laughter since he bottled it up for the grand finale, Sage just looked at him amused of the fact that he sounded like a hyena.
"Well, an eventful night for you" she smiled down at the empty bowl of soup, "Thank you... but I think that you're taking this 'boyfriend' stuff to seriously"
Jake looked back at the TV avoiding eye contact with Sage...
He wanted to scream that he loved her since he first saw her on a movie, he wanted to yell and kick until Sage felt the same.
But he kept quiet, only a sight escaped his lips, "No. Of course not! I just feel like I should protect you from everything... you need a friend--"
"Jake stop" she said as he hit a personal spot.
"-- I know that you've suffered through depression and anorexia--"
"Jake I said stop!" she yelled at him, the youngster just closed his mouth and looked away clenching his jaw.
"Why don't you let me get close to you?" Jake said bravely enough to turn and look at her eyes. She saw how desperate his eyes were for being accepted by her, Sage felt pressured more than usual.
"See? I didn't want this to happen. I told Mark this relationship thing was stupid, but he didn't listen! Jake you have to understand that I am not the one for you and you won't want me as a friend either" she said and finally breathed, it felt as if some weight was lifter off her shoulders.
Jake stood up in less than a second making Sage jump from the sudden movement. She frowned as she saw him gather his wallet and keys from the couch on the corner of her room and walk to the door, he touched the doorknob but didn't open the door.
Hesitant at the decision of getting mad and walking out of there or actually face her and maybe confess. But his pride was too hurt, he was handsome, rich, young! What more did she want? He rejected many pretty girls for this woman who never loved him back, Sage just saw him as a shield for the little secrets she had hiding in her bag.
"One day Sage, you'll look back and regret letting all the people that cared for you leave. This boyfriend deal was actually a blessing for me, but I know that it's hell for you. I am sorry that I cared too much for you. It won't happen again" he said unclenching his jaw and stormed out the door leaving Sage all alone in her room.
              ------------*--------------
Hours later, Sage took a bath and ate by herself. She was used to the loneliness of her life, she thought of having a dog or a cat but the blondie couldn't stand the small hairs the adorable creatures would leave on her clothes.
Suddenly the silence was interrupted by the sound of a text message arriving. She saw that Mark sent a photo attachment which made her frown, Sage tapped away and finally opened the picture.
"Holy crap" she says unconsciously, Mark had sent a picture of her drunken state with kissing an unknown guy.
