Minnie and Shawn returned to the hotel from the bakery with many boxes of various pastries, ready to be eaten within the next two weeks.
But when the day of laughs was over and the lights went out in the hotel room, despite the warm body that lay inches away from her, Minnie was left alone in her thoughts.
At the end of the day, it's just you who you have. No matter who may be to the left or right of you, you are your own. You are the person you're stuck with when your eyes close. Minnie didn't like that. Not one bit.
For every time she closed her eyes and filled the silence with her never ending thoughts, she got to thinking of her... the inevitable.
Olivia. Oh, how she missed her dearly. Her smell, even if just her shampoo, she would kill to inhale it once more, like when Minnie's face would lay engulfed by her pillow.
Her hair... her eyes... her lips. The only lips she could care about were that of the girl's that she touched with her own every day for months. Months she felt happy.
It was never years, was it? Or maybe it was. All those years spent pining were pain... or were they? To love is to know bittersweetness. Yeah, that's the word.
Minnie couldn't sleep that night. Not with the knowledge that Olivia told the world that they were together... in coded lyrics, yes, but all the same.
So, when Minnie was sure Shawn was completely out, she carefully reached over him to grab her phone on the nightstand. He had insisted she keep it on his side so she wasn't tempted to check social media, claiming that the comments will only hurt her. But, per usual with Minnie, curiosity killed the cat.
As soon as she unlocked her phone, she went straight to Instagram, specifically a promo post for Señorita; her and Shawn were photographed in a diner booth, she sat in his lap as their faces were a small distance apart. She wasn't at all surprised at the comment section she found waiting for her.
gayformonivia: so it's real... like if you saw it coming
livlover: shinnie > monivia
grayrodrigo: y'all know bisexual people exist, right?
moniviastan: MINNIE WE ALL KNOW BESTIE
swiftieliv: WHO'S GONNA TELL HIM??
streamsour: @oliviarodrigo this your girl?
moniviastyles: alexa, play Lights Up by Harry Styles
Minnie rolled her eyes. This sucked. It sucked in such a way that prompted the delayed reaction of any tears. She had already cried today, so now she just felt... simply as I can put it - over it.
So completely over it.
Betrayal? Never heard of her. Avoidance? Now that's hot.
But you know, she can't ever fight the urge to see what people are saying. So, with that, she clicked on the Twitter app and was met with even more notifications. Oh! And a place on the trending page, how sweet.
Minnie inhaled before clicking on the MONIVIA IS REAL tag, her eyes widening at the thousands of loading tweets.
@beltloops: not y'all switching uppp. monivias literally knew they were together and no one paid attention to us. don't act like you were here the whole time
What.
@strwbryicecream: is it so hard for monivias to respect privacy? shipping real people is weird.
It's like she's back in the Larry Stylinson era of stan Twitter.
@livslicense: why are livies and monivias fighting? can't we just have a nontoxic fandom?
