It was Tuesday and I was up playing computer games with three of my friends. Something my girlfriend didn't know and wouldn't like considering I have work in about 5 hours
When the clock shows 5:12am I go to bed pulling my girlfriend closer as I slowly drift of to sleep only the wake up by my alarm at 7am
I quickly get ready and head to work at an ordinary restaurant considering I am dating a movie start
I once again watched my girlfriend leave with bags under her eyes. She tried to hide the but she was bad at it and I was starting to get worried
The first time I caught her being up and playing I just went back to bed thinking she had a hard time sleeping but then I started to happen more often and I could feel her getting into bed at 4 which only gives her three hours of sleep until she need to be up. She also started to sleep a lot on weekends
She will go to bed very late and not wake up until 4pm the next day. This isn't just bad for her but I can feel it taking a tool on our relationship. We doesn't spend as much time together anymore even tho we moved in together which is weird. Shouldn't we be spending more time tighter now
I once again has to drop it and get to work hoping it would be a good day
It went okey but when I fall into a chair on set Florence gives me a weird look. "What's up. You look like you want to die but also take someone's life" She chuckles at me
"It's y/n" I state simply. "Since we moved in together I have caught her being up and playing on her computer until 4 5 in the morning to then wake up at 7 to work. And the only thing she does in weekends is sleep. I'm worried but we also spend little to no time together" I rant to the friend I have gotten very close to

"You should talk to her. Tell her how you fell. Not just that it's bad for her but how you fell it's pushing you guy apart. Y/n would never hurt you. She is to sweet for that"
"I just don't know how" I sighed looking up into the sky
"Grab her as soon as she gets home. Don't let her run away. You sit her down and then you are straight forward. Giving her no option then to talk with you"
And well I took her advice and as soon as y/n walk in I met her by the door while she looked at me with a gloomy look
"We need to talk" I simply state
"I am to tired can't we do it tomorrow"
"No. This is serious" I say standing my ground as she follows me into the kitchen grabbing a juice box form the fridge and sitting down
"What about"
"Us and you. You are up all night playing your stupid video games. You go to sleep after 4 just about every night. And all you do on weekends is sleep. We barely spend any time together and we live together. I am worried about you and I don't want to lose you just because of a fucking screen. This has to stop" She looks at me not saying anything. She opens her mouth to speak but close it again
"Answer me damn it. I can't be together with someone who cares more about a game then her work, her girlfriend and her own fucking health!!"
"I'm sorry" She say standing up to walk away and into our bedroom
"If you step inside that door and leave this conversation we are over and you can figure it out by yourself" I say making her stop and she just stands there before turning around and breaking down on the floor

She starts to sob heavily into her knees as she rest against the wall. "I cant lose you" She gets out. "You are the last thing I have left" She continues looking at the wall in front of her as tears continue to roll don her cheeks. "It's just so addictive. When I sit down I just get walk away. And when I don't play I miss the rush it gives me. The felling to know that I am good at something" She continues to cried
I sit down next to her and pull her into a hug as she continues to sob. "You are good at more things then video games. You are an incredible girlfriend and I know for a fact that you are a incredibly good human being"
"I let you down"
"That doesn't mean you aren't good at it. It just means that you are human and humans aren't perfect" I say as I continue to rub her back as she cries
And when she calmed down me talked more and made a plan. Trying to get her of the game and the phone which she uses way to much
And it has been a month now. With clear improvements. She goes to sleep at 12 every night giving her a much more health sleeping schedule. We spend far more time together and I have never been more in love. And she can only play an hour a day to keep her from being drawn in again. And some days she doesn't play at all
We spend some time together trying to find something that could give her a rush with out a screen and surprisingly she has gotten into dancing which she does twice a week
And well even tho some days is very hard the is gone
