White Flag, The Romance of Nick and Layla (Part Three)

Nick (a famous pop star) and Layla met and fell in love when they were both young and stupid, and fell into the superficial trappings of fame and wealth.

The connection between them is as potent as ever, but sometimes people just aren't meant to be, no matter how much they used to love each other. Cut to 14 months later.
