After what I thought was gonna be a relaxing night turned into a chaotic mess, how had I even gotten here and what about me makes people think I'm not 'grown up'. I ended up falling asleep thinking what the fuck was I gonna do about this gigantic mess.
As soon as I woke up the next morning I remembered there was a family dinner tonight and I don't think there will be any cameras.
so I think I will be fine but my mom wanted me to drop by the house this morning to talk to me.
I'm guessing about the whole Ethan situation which I was dreading because my mom can be very selfish and she thinks that everything always goes her way and most of the time it does because people are too scared to speak up because she can also be incredibly mean to people that's something my sister Fallon definitely inherited from her.
My sister Fallon was is the youngest she is only nineteen years old and still lives at home even though she could move out, she is exactly like our mother, Alissa is a mix of my mom and dad and I am exactly like my father, I wish he could of lived the rest of his life exactly how he deserved to but I try not to think about dad much because it upsets me.
I pull up to the driveway of the Mansion of a house I grew up in and knock lightly on the chipped, green painted double door and immediately my mother rushed to the door "Oh, Rose I was so worried yesterday when you didn't answer my calls where were you I know you called Alissa she told me".
I rolled my eyes and walks to the kitchen which hadn't changed much since It still had lightwood floors and a grey stone wall with big square oak dining table with matching chairs around it and a really big kitchen island with five stools.
I sat down on a stool by the island and I spoke first "so why does everyone think I'm a child and incapable of doing anything myself".
my mother glared at me "they think because you last relationship ended badly you aren't able to cope or capable of love" I laughed "and Ethan's involved because.."
"Because, he's never had a relationship where the girl hasn't cheated and used him for his wealth".
"that's terrible they just take his money and leave?"
and for a moment I felt sympathy for Ethan for how terrible that must have felt girls using him for money and then leaving without an ounce of guilt. I could never do that to anyone I would feel so guilty and I cant believe I'm saying this but he deserves better.
"That's terrible I never knew"
"so will you do it, fake date him"
"I'll have to pretend to be in love with my enemy doesn't seem possible has anyone spoken to Ethan about this"
"yes, Ethan is one hundred percent certain about doing this"
"what, he hates me and I hate him"
"if that's what you want to believe, but you'll do it"
"I can try but I don't see this lasting"
I really didn't want to do this but I had to get back at the random strangers deeming me unable to love.
Plus my last relationship ended years ago so why are people talking about it now. Like sure it was a big deal when we broke up but it's not now.
All people do is watch a bunch of fake shit happen from behind a screen. I had to pretend to be in love with Ethan why did I agree to this.
I went up to my childhood bedroom and just lay on the pink comforter with my hands over my eyes just wanting to be normal for once.
I know what I need right now. I need to call my best friend.
I called Emma and she picked up on the first ring "Hi, Rose what's up?" She said in her usual cheery voice.
"I'm sure you know what's up, Em" I sighed with no emotion. "Look I told them it's not gonna work but there adamant".
"I don't even like your brother, he's rude and every time I see him he just stares at me like he wants to kill me".
"No he does not want to kill you, and maybe it'll bring you two closer". I shook my head not that she could see me "yeah I don't think so".
"Well Rose, if your not doing it for yourself, do it for the people and prove them wrong" sometimes going along with things make it easier in this life and I know that's the best way to prove the public wrong.
"Okay, fine I'll do it but don't blame me if one of us is dead by the time it's over" she giggled on the other end "or you'll be all snuggled up in some foreign country" i sighed.
"Em, that want happen you know" I smiled "Anyway Rose I have to go to a photoshoot, I'll talk to you later I love you" I smiled genuinely "I love you too, goodbye".
That made me feel a bit better I guess, knowing I'll always have Emma to talk to brings me comfort.
Ethan is an asshole but maybe w can make it work, have like a mutual friendship for the public. I hope we can at least become civilised or this isn't gonna work.
I'm not sure I'm ready for this, I've never stepped this far out of my comfort zone. And on top of all this stress I have to pretend to be head over heels in love with the one person I can't stand.
We'll have to go in dates, to events, post pictures together.
And I know I'll have to meet him soon so I can finalise a couple things, definitely set down some ground rules.
