As Anna Noviel is out alone at night, she suddenly stumbles into Pedro Pascal. He is a complete mystery to her. One minute a total stranger, the next minute a famous actor - will feelings develop or is this just another celebrity crush?
-> SOCIAL ME...
I wake up to the sound of instagram notifications, which is weird since usually I never get any... Also why would my alarm be instagram notifications?
I grab my phone from my night desk and realize it isn't followers, or likes that is notifying me. Its Instagram DM's and tags.
Usually I never use Instagram to chat with others, since I prefer SMS. That's odd.
Despite the fact I don't want to know why im getting so many Instagram notifications, I open the Instagram app to see what's going on.
Not only are tons of people (mostly Pedro Pascal fan accounts) messaging me, but I have also been tagged in over 99 posts.
Somebody must have spread a rumor about Pedro and me. What else could it possibly be? I think to myself.
All of the posts I was tagged in are the exact. same. picture, of me and Damian.
It's him. My ex. The one who brought me to my lowest point. The one who had always commented on my body and told me what to eat. The one who ruined a young girl at the age of just 17.
It has been 7 years since I had last talked to him and since then I have also healed.
But seeing him with me, on the same picture just brings back memories I thought I had forgotten about.
Flashbacks go through my mind as I scroll through the endless pictures of him and I on our last date before he started abusing me, mentally yet also physically.
A single tear falls from my left eye, as I click onto one of the posts with that picture.
Seeing it in bigger form hurts even more.

@user1: i feel so bad for pedro wtf :( @user2: shes a whore, why would she cheat on pedro like that? i knew something wasn't right with her @user3: this is probably just her brother or something... calm down people @user4: who is he?
For a few minutes straight, I just stare at the picture and feel completely numb.
I remember that night, like it was yesterday. The night my life went downhill and I became a different person.
Seeing his face beside mine makes me frustrated, I was such a fool to let him ruin me like that.
If only people would know what he did to me.
As I read the comments, I feel my stomach flip. How can humans believe every. single. thing. they see? How can you be so gullible?
They don't even have proof this picture is recent, it's literally been 7 years.
Seeing a few people on my side, brings me some hope, but compared to the 834 hate comments, thats nothing. But it's better than no support right?
Yesterday everything was going so well, just 10 hours and everything was completely ruined.
Of course, something had to ruin it.
——————- time skip
Pedro must have already seen the rumors, they have been up for 10 hours now.
What if he believes them? He wouldn't. Or would he? Im sure he has seen rumours like this before right?
After panicking about Pedro and I and crying for what felt like hours, I decide to sent Lili a message since she is probably the only one who can help me right now.
With shaking hands, I type the words into my phone.
⋆ ★ LILIANA ROSE ANNA NOVIEL ⋆ ★
anna: lili please be awake liliana: ofc im awake, whats up? anna: just check my tagged instagram posts. liliana: holy shit liliana: thats the picture i took 7 years go wtf anna: i know liliana: im coming over. 40 minutes ill be there ok? anna: alr
Im somewhat relieved Lili will be there for me. She's the only person I have right now, she is the only one who will understand me, because she knows.
I lay down in my bed, sobbing as I listen to some of my favourite songs, trying to delete all of the negative thoughts.
40 more minutes and Lili will be here. Just 40.
———————- 20 minutes later
While laying in bed, counting the minutes until Lili finally arrives, I hear my phone buzz, yet again. Assuming its just another annoying Instagram DM, I try swiping it away.
I was correct that it was a message, just not from Instagram.
random group chat name😹🎸 anna, lili, pedro, oscar
oscar: what the hell is going on? have u guys seen instagram? liliana: yea we have. lets talk later, nows not the time. oscar: k
Can I ever get a break? It was bad enough waking up to my ex, and now finding out that Oscar knows about the rumours makes everything worse. It means Pedro most likely knows about them too, since Oscar must have told him.
What am i going to tell Pedro? I can't just say "thats from 7 years ago". Nobody would believe that since nobody knows what really happened I think to myself as my heartbeat keeps raising in fear.
I notice my hands starting to shake rapidly - even worse than before - im scared of losing Pedro, of losing everything we had built up together. Im scared as hell.
(sorry for not uploading yesterday, i have alot of school work to do lately)
