Maybe we can fix each other

Chapter fourteen | I can't believe you

It had gotten out. Someone told a news outlet and it had gotten out.

Penelope Featherington's scenes to be cut after pregnancy

She had read it fully through. Someone on the set had told them that she was pregnant. And she had a pretty good fucking clue who it was.

****

"Was it you?" Penelope asks Thomas the next day when she was on set.

"What do you mean?" Thomas asks.

"Don't act so fucking innocent. Did you or did you not tell the media about my pregnancy?" Penelope replied to him.

"Who's to say," Thomas says.

"That's your answer?" Penelope asks.

"Well I don't know what you want me to say," Thomas replies.

"The truth," Penelope scoffs. "I'm being straight forward with you right now. I just want the truth."

"And so what if I did?" Thomas asks.

"You know," Penelope starts as she starts walking around his trailer. "I always knew you could be a jealous person. But I never thought you would go so low. I get that you're my ex boyfriend or whatever, but why would you tell the media when you know how much the media can hurt you?"

"You're accusing me of something that you don't have any proof of," Thomas replies.

"Then tell me the truth," Penelope said to him.

Thomas stood there, quiet. Penelope was waiting for his answer. She didn't know anyone else who would do this. None of the producers would because they were still trying to figure out what they were going to do. She knows the girls wouldn't either. And Thomas was the only other one in the room when she told everyone.

"Thomas, say something. A simple yes or no will do. I just need to know the fucking truth," Penelope says to him.

"Fine," Thomas says. "Yes, I did tell that media. Is that what you wanted to hear?"

"It's not what I wanted to hear but it's what I expected to hear," Penelope replies. "I can't believe you would ever do this."

"Why does it surprise you so much," Thomas says dramatically.

"Because you know how much this would hurt me. You know the power social media holds. And you of all people go and tell everyone that I'm pregnant. I get that you will never have that struggle because your a man, but you should still take other peoples concerns into thought before you say something like that," Penelope says. "And maybe, just maybe, you're extremely childish. And you keep asking me why I broke up with you."

"Why does everything always go back to our breakup!" Thomas shouts.

"Because you make it!" Penelope shouts back. "Yes, I understand that I brought it up now but whenever we would see each other it was always about our breakup. Do you have some type of special connection to it or something?"

"No, that's not why," Thomas replies.

"Then please, explain it to me," Penelope says. "Cause every fucking time I see you, it's always about how I broke up with you. It was a fucking agreement. We were both becoming bigger names and didn't have the energy for it."

"That's just what I told you!" Thomas shouts.

"Then why didn't you tell me!" Penelope shouts back. "I never asked anything of you except to be honest with me. And I get that neither of us had wanted to break up but it was for the better for both of us."

Penelope looked towards him. The anger in his eyes is there. But the sorrow is there too.

"You just had to be honest with me," Penelope says softly. "And I hate to admit this now, but I loved you. I did. Not no more, because now is different. But I just wanted you to be honest with me. I still do."

"And I'm trying," Thomas replied. "It's just difficult to see you with someone else sometimes."

"That's what this is about," Penelope whispers.

"I'm sorry for everything I did. You and Colin didn't deserve that. I am so happy that you're finally happy with someone who loves you," Thomas says.

Despite everything Penelope stops when she hears Thomas say that.

"You think he loves me?" Penelope asks

"Of course he does. Pen, I have never once seen anyone look at you the way he looks at you," Thomas replies.

And that's when Penelope actually thinks about it. Colin really was in love with her. She should've known that look from anywhere. And she treated him like shit.

A/N hi, shitty ass chapter but here you go <33
