Zoey POV

I woke up a few hours later and heard the Twitter notification going crazy. I picked my phone up to see what was going on and immediately realized everyone was replying to Jared's tweet.

My heart sank as I saw some of them; "wow she can't leave anything alone," "the show was so much better without her. I wish she'd never joined and now she took my favorite couple from me too," and "just because she's a fan that's on the show doesn't mean she can get everything the rest of us want too," along with various ones commenting on my weight and looks.

I started crying then saw a few positive ones, "leave her alone! She didn't do anything!," "we have no idea what actually happened between Jared and Gen and we need to realize that as well as the fact that we're never really going to know," and "she's great in the show! She can't help what happened between Jared and Gen!," plus a bunch commenting under the weight/looks ones saying that they loved me and I looked beautiful.

After I saw those, I smiled a little and started crying even more because I was happy and sad. I let out a few loud sad sobs though and accidentally woke up Jared.

He started rubbing my back and said, "hey baby, what's wrong?"

I put my head in my hand and handed him my phone with the notifications pulled up so he could see both good and bad ones, as more kept coming in.

He stopped rubbing my back for a second and I turned around to see his hand over his mouth. Then, he started rubbing my back again and said, "I'm so sorry baby. Come here," and I curled up to his chest, soaking his shirt with my tears/sobs.

Through them I said, "I knew it would be bad but I didn't think it would be like this!!"

He wrapped his arms around me and said, "shhhh it's okay. It'll all be okay. I promise," then kissed my head and I hung onto his words. I repeated them in my head while working on calming myself down and eventually truly believed everything would be okay. He'd said the words so seriously and sincerely that I couldn't not believe them. One way or another, I knew he'd make this right.

I smiled and turned my head up to look at him and just admired how much I loved him and how great he was. He was on his phone, it looked like Twitter so probably tweeting something about the hate, so he didn't notice I was looking at him until I moved my hand to touch his cheek.

He looked at me and smiled then leaned over to kiss me. I smiled into the kiss then kissed back and leaned into his chest as he put his phone down, wrapping his arms around me and kissing my head.

I smiled and picked my phone up to see what he'd said since I saw him press tweet and saw the notification come in.

He said, "To everyone sending Zoey hate, stop! She doesn't deserve it and has NOTHING to do with Gen and I's divorce. That's between Gen and I and no one else. I don't agree with ANY of this hate nor do I understand why it even exists. You guys are the most loving and supportive fandom I know but you're not acting like it and I don't appreciate it. Not only do y'all need to remember to Love Yourself First, you still need to remember to love others too. To those already showing us love and support, thank you. You are very appreciated and have brought Zoey to tears of joy with your kind words. I love all y'all, whether you're supportive of us or not, and so does Zoey, but please think about how you'd feel if what your saying was directed towards you or someone you know before pressing that tweet button. ❤️"
