Maybe we can fix each other

Chapter eight | nothing ever goes as planned

It was out. And thankfully that's all the fans were talking about. At least for now.

Penelope's announcement post was very short cause filming started today as well and she was already called on set.

"Penelope! Welcome! So you've already met Vanessa, but this is Thomas and Veronica," The show runner, Jennifer, says cheerfully once Penelope walked onto set.

"It's nice to meet you! I'm Penelope," Penelope smiles towards the two she hadn't met yet, actually the one she hadn't met and the one she hadn't seen in years.

"It's so great to meet you as well! I absolutely adore your acting," Veronica smiles.

"Oh my gosh, thank you! You're very sweet," Penelope hears people compliment her a lot, but she always feels so flushed when she hears it.

Penelope wasn't gonna lie, she was a little nervous to see Thomas. Despite what people knew, Penelope and Thomas were pretty close. They dated right before both of them were in the spotlight. They broke up when they both got their main roles and that's when Jordan came in the picture. They never ended on bad terms it was just time consuming for the both of them.

Penelope softly smiled at him as Thomas pulled her into a hug.

"Do you two know each other?" Vanessa, her other co-star, asks as the two pull away from the hug.

"Yeah, we do," Penelope says softly.

"Oh nice! So you guys will have great chemistry!" Jennifer cheers.

Fuck. Right. Their characters were a couple. How the fuck did she forget that? The two nodded at each other and Jennifer smiled.

Penelope went to her trailer to set up and checked her phone for any texts from her sisters or Eloise. But she saw a lot more then that. So she scrolled through, not knowing what to expect. But when she saw Brooklyn's name pop up, is when she knew something was wrong.

News outlets are saying you and Colin broke up?

Shit. Of fucking course this would happen. Fuck. She opened the link that Brooklyn had sent her to see paparazzi pictures of the conversation she had with Colin yesterday. She knew something would happen. And now she would have to face Colin again because of these pictures.

Why did this keep happening? Why did she keep getting heartbroken? She couldn't just have a brake could she? She thought she was ready to be with Colin but this hurt so much. She thought she was ready for a relationship in general. But it was all crumbling to pieces that would take forever to pick up.

And with that, Penelope broke down. She couldn't hold in the tears that rolled down her cheek anymore. Why did love have to be so fucking complicated all the time. She just wanted someone who loved her, and someone she could love in return. Her family sure as hell never gave that to her. She was just broken.

A/N okay maybe I am more depressing then I thought
