10:17please
10:18What's the matter with you?
10:20I've just never hard-launched a relationship before.
10:23Have you ever had a relationship?
10:28Hey, you'll be okay.
10:30I've done this plenty of times.
10:32Just follow my lead.
10:37So it's true.
10:40You're dating America's most famous highman.
10:44Leave me alone, Giselle.
10:46I knew you'd be sad when we broke up,
10:49but I didn't think you'd swear off sex completely.
10:53Sorry.
10:54Is sex a bad word for you?
10:58You've bitten off way more than you can chew, Princess Prude.
11:03You'll learn that soon enough.
11:15Are you okay?
11:17Are you?
11:23I'll just get this over with.
11:28Freya!
11:29Freya! Freya!
11:30Freya, how long has this been going on for?
11:34Um...
11:34Leah! Leah! Leah!
11:36Don't mind her.
11:37She's too happy to speak.
11:40Well, why don't you give us a little kiss, then?
11:43Kiss her!
11:44Kiss her!
11:45Come on!
11:47Come on!
11:51Liam, what do you say to the fans calling this a fake relationship?
12:01Does this look fake to you?
12:39So, how does it feel getting Giselle's sloppy seconds, huh?
12:42You're supposed to stay back.
12:43Oh, give it up, Freya. You're already giving it up for Liam.
12:47Get the hell away from...
12:48Wait, what are you doing?
12:50I'm sticking up, Freya.
12:51By assaulting someone?
12:54You should be thanking me.
12:55I am not your crazy ex-girlfriend, Liam.
12:58You can't act like that with me.
13:19I'm freaking out, guys. Liam and Freya were seen at the Halo Initiative Gala tonight. Together. And sure, maybe it's
13:28not a fake relationship.
13:30But it is a train wreck. And I'm not gonna stop watching it.
13:34Choo-choo, boys and girls.
13:42That was a disaster.
13:45Really? I had so much fun.
13:51Liam.
13:53This is serious.
13:54Lucinda said that we're gonna have to spend the next few days doing damage control.
13:58Look at this.
14:04House tours, interviews?
14:07I'm not doing any of that.
14:10Well...
14:12I did think of another way we can get the public to root for us.
14:18We could write a song together.
14:19You know, something about our unlikely romance.
14:23Like oil and water, fire and ice. You know, that type of thing.
14:30And you'd also be helping me out.
14:33I've hit a little bit of a writer's block.
14:41If I help you, what's in it for me?
14:48I've seen videos of your last performances.
14:54You seem a little off.
14:57Do you have stage fright, Liam?
14:59No.
15:01What would you think that?
15:02I've performed all over the world.
15:05With hundreds of different artists.
15:08You would not be the first one to get a little overwhelmed.
15:16It's new.
15:20I don't know what's wrong with me.
15:23Well, breakups can be hard.
15:26Or so I've heard.
15:29You were right about me.
15:32Never been in a relationship before.
15:35But I realized something when I was in front of those cameras.
15:38This is an opportunity for me, too.
15:41I don't want to write about innocence or purity anymore.
15:49Music should be real.
15:53Intimate and raw.
15:56I want to write about love.
16:00And sex.
16:04All the things I desire.
16:13What do you desire, Freya?
16:20Help me write some new material and maybe you'll find out.
16:25And in return, I will help you with your stage fright.
16:28And how are you gonna do that?
16:31For starters, I could tell you what your problem is.
16:36Try me.
16:38You've been doing the whole bad boy rock star thing for so long that I think you've lost sight of
16:43what's important.
16:45The music.
16:48So, um, you'll help me clean up and I'll help you get dirty.
17:00Tid for tat, Liam.
17:04First, you're gonna have to show me that you can actually help me write something new.
17:10You're on.
17:12Hold my breath.
17:13Okay.
17:17See you in the morning, partner.
17:33Alright.
17:34What you got so far?
17:37Uh, just the beginning.
17:38What do you mean?
17:40Maybe tomorrow, maybe in time, but tonight I'm holding on to what's mine.
17:47What does that mean?
17:49Read between the lines.
17:51Holding on to what's yours.
17:54Oh.
17:55Damn.
17:58I get not being in a relationship before, but...
18:02Are you really a virgin?
18:09You said the rumors are true.
18:12It doesn't matter what the rumors are.
18:14It's my brand.
18:16You have one too.
18:18Sex.
18:20Yeah.
18:21Cause sex actually sells.
18:23Tell that to my brother.
18:25And my publicist.
18:27And the label.
18:29Well...
18:29Maybe this purity crap worked for your first album.
18:33But you need to evolve.
18:39What are you doing?
18:40Helping you evolve.
18:44No thanks.
18:46I don't really drink much.
18:48And especially not while I'm working.
18:51Well...
18:52First rule of getting dirty for ya?
18:55Try everything once.
18:59You're not listening to me.
19:02Artists have been using liquid creativity since the dawn of time.
19:05Maybe it'll help you out too.
19:07I don't wanna drink.
19:09What's the big deal?
19:11You're not trying to clean up.
19:13You're just trying to make me do whatever you want.
19:17Wow.
19:19Is this what you think of me?
19:21Might as well.
19:23It's how you treat every woman that you come across.
19:25You know what Freya?
19:27You wanna write a sexy new song?
19:30Do it yourself.
19:32I'm out.
19:52Hey, what is all this?
19:54Redecorating for the 83 questions interview with Poise.
19:58Well, Liam's gonna hate it.
19:59Too bad.
20:00This place needs a reflector brand too.
20:07Mason, it's a better lay for that.
20:10I'm fine.
20:11Focus on yourself.
20:15Does anyone have eyes on Liam?
20:17We should have started this bloody interview ten minutes ago.
20:19I'm here.
20:23Why does my house look like it was decorated by a girl named Ashlyn?
20:27Her name is Madison.
20:28She has a show on HGTV and she's doing us a favor.
20:31We don't have time for this.
20:33Let's put you through the works, yeah?
20:36Let's give him a good show.
20:50Oh, hello, Poise.
20:51Welcome to our home.
20:53Come on in.
20:53We're so happy to have you here.
20:55Yeah.
20:56Whatever.
20:57Freya, how long have you lived here?
20:59Uh, two months.
21:01It's been our little secret.
21:03What's your favorite room in the house?
21:05Ooh, that's hard.
21:06There's so many good rooms.
21:07The bedroom.
21:08We basically never leave it.
21:09You know what I mean?
21:11Liam, overhead lighting or ambient?
21:14We mostly keep the lights off.
21:17We don't want God to see what we do.
21:19What are you doing?
21:21Just being who you think I am, dear.
21:23Liam, what's something that Freya does that already feels like home?
21:28Oh.
21:29She does this crazy thing with her tongue, actually.
21:32Oh, he's just joking.
21:34We're actually not having sex until marriage.
21:36His idea.
21:38What do you think he's going to leave it?
21:40Freya, what's something no one else knows about living with Liam?
21:44His confidence is all an act.
21:46He needs constant pep talks and he travels with a blankie.
21:49Like a baby.
21:50So cute.
21:52Who's responsible for the decorating?
21:54Liam is.
21:55Especially these softer touches.
21:56He's really in touch with his sensitive side lately.
22:02But I think it's time for a change.
22:04Don't you?
22:11Out with the old.
22:12In with the new.
22:14Oh!
22:15Cut!
22:17Liam.
22:18Oh, he's so clumsy.
22:20Oh, excuse me.
22:21Actually, that's enough for today.
22:30I can't remember the last time I signed real pictures.
22:34Old school.
22:36What do you usually sign?
22:39Boobs?
22:40Are you offering?
22:46We tanked that interview.
22:48You are unbelievable.
22:50You act like you get some kind of award if you show the world that you've corrupted me.
22:55Well, screw that.
22:56I'm not doing another public appearance with you until you grow up.
22:59Oh, come on, Freya.
23:01Don't be like that.
23:02Don't tell me what to do.
23:05Lucinda's got us front row seats for that award show on Friday.
23:08As much as I hate to admit it,
23:11it'll be good for the both of us if we show up there together.
23:16I'll behave.
23:17Promise.
23:21Fine.
23:22But this is your last chance, Liam.
23:28Want to sign me next?
23:33I was joking.
23:39I didn't know how good
23:43it feel
23:44to be a rumor
23:48in real time
23:50Cause it seems I'm stepping
23:53In a world that knows your name
23:59And not mine
24:02Oh my gosh.
24:05You scared me.
24:09Did you ride that?
24:11It's just a work in progress.
24:13Is it about me?
24:14Yeah.
24:15Of course you think it's about you.
24:18No, it's actually about how I felt the other night at the gala.
24:22About being seen in a new light.
24:26This is the Freya Coleman I've been wanting to see.
24:37This is amazing.
24:40I don't think you have a writer's block.
24:43I think you keep doubting yourself.
24:45And you shouldn't.
24:47It doesn't matter.
24:49If I gave that to the label, they'd exit immediately.
24:53They don't like anything that's dark or...
24:56Real.
24:59Or...
25:00Sexy.
25:03I get it.
25:05Attaining an image can be hell.
25:07Says the professional partier.
25:10Do you think my songs reflect my life?
25:14If I really partied that hard, I'd be dead.
25:22Let's try this for the first verse.
25:29You okay?
25:34Yeah.
25:36Go ahead.
25:40Whenever you're ready.
25:45I see you standing still
25:47Like you're daring to say
25:50There'll be three lights flashing up in front of my face
25:57Tonight
26:01Let them burn their questions out in your eyes
26:08I hide
26:16Something wrong?
26:18No.
26:20Everything's fine.
26:22It's just a little...
26:26Weird...
26:27For me to be so vulnerable.
26:30But it feels good too.
26:31Right?
26:34Feels good to me.
26:39We should get to bed.
26:44Should we?
26:55I'll have a good night, Pirea.
27:00Right.
27:03Goodnight.
27:05I will see you in the morning then.
27:11Right.
27:16Goodnight.
27:28What's all this?
27:30Brain food.
27:32Lucina's got a packed day for us.
27:34Repeat the schedule.
27:37Refilm our interview.
27:39Fitting for tonight's award show.
27:41Three hours of studio time.
27:43How come...
27:43How come this last one's crossed out?
27:46My team thought it'd be cool for us to sing my song,
27:48Neon Sin, at the after party.
27:51Is that something you're up for?
27:52Performing in front of a bunch of the biggest music people?
27:56With you by my side, I...
27:58I think I can.
28:00But, um...
28:01I told them no.
28:02The song's too spicy for you.
28:06No.
28:07I wanna do it.
28:09Your brother will be pissed if you perform a song that dirty.
28:14Maybe it's time I stand up to my brother.
28:17And the label.
28:18Do you even know the words?
28:20Yeah.
28:21Everyone knows the words.
28:25Neon Sin in the bathroom light.
28:29Bite marks, whiskey, last call fights.
28:33Bloodshot saints in a midnight spin.
28:38Fuck you like I'm gonna cave you in.
28:43I don't...
28:44That was...
28:46Weird.
28:47No.
28:49It was hot.
28:51I like hearing this side of you.
28:55Same to rest.
29:07Rhea?
29:09Anyone home?
29:12Mason, what are you doing here?
29:16After your dumpster fire interview with Poise,
29:19I figured I'd spend some more time monitoring you.
29:22Actively.
29:23I don't think that's necessary.
29:25Well, you're not a manager.
29:26No.
29:27I'm the guy you owe a few cool G's to.
29:30Mmm.
29:32Have you seen the charts?
29:34Your album cracked top ten.
29:36It did?
29:38And I know this whole fake relationship thing's been rocky,
29:41but I guess all press is good press.
29:44Just as long as we keep preserving your image.
29:50Right. My image.
29:52Actually, we were just talking about that.
29:55Go ahead.
29:57Tell him.
30:01Tell me why.
30:04Nothing.
30:06It's fine.
30:08We have a lot to do today, so we should get going.
30:17You chickened out.
30:19It wasn't time yet.
30:21Why'd you listen to him anyway?
30:23He's just a stubborn drunk.
30:25Think that's a little hypocritical, don't you?
30:28Um, in case you haven't noticed, I haven't touched a drink all week.
30:39Wow.
30:42You look perfect.
30:46Listen to got me a...
30:49I don't know, I feel like it's...
30:51a little much.
30:54A little much is what boring people tell themselves to feel superior.
31:03Tie me up.
31:18I'll get...
31:47I'll up and pull the edge off.
31:51um that's probably mason he said he'd try and see us offer the awards
31:58you think he'll flip when he sees this dress
32:02maybe we should try and sneak out and leave without him
32:07wow so naughty don't make it weird
32:14okay finish getting ready i'll shout when the coast is clear

34:58no one's ever stuck up for me like you did
35:00i hardly believe that you need protecting
35:02maybe not but
35:05having someone in my corner for once felt
35:08nice
35:12performing has been hard
35:14not because the breakup was hard
