Sliding Doors - 2 (English Version)

Chapter 79

Hero

I can finally leave for Sofia, albeit a day later than I had planned.
My flight is scheduled at 7.40pm but it's obviously delayed, so I don't know how much longer it will be before they let me board.

I haven't said anything to Jo, I want to surprise her!
I know we won't be able to see each other as soon as I get to the hotel but I don't care!
Just knowing that I'm very close to her, in the same hotel, makes me feel good.

I sigh as I look at the time on my phone, which is still ringing insistently as it has been for the last few days.
I really can't take it anymore!

Jamie had just gone on holiday and had to get to work from a remote island in Mauritius to sort out the whole mess on my Instagram page.
There are people who enjoy spreading totally false and absurd rumours just for the sake of hurting others.

This is something I cannot conceive of!
In the last two days the situation, instead of improving, seems to have degenerated!

A video of not even 5 seconds is circulating on the web showing my friends and I at a concert I don't know how long ago.
Apparently, during one song I put my arm on Thyanna's shoulder!
All hell broke loose!
I didn't even realise because it's a gesture we always make to each other, without any particular meaning of course!
We are friends!
By the way it was her favourite song and we all sang along!
Nothing wrong, nothing strange between friends!
My arm on her shoulder was there for less than 3 seconds!
In the video, even put in slow motion, you can see her touching my hand and me immediately removing my arm, breaking contact with her.

Now we are practically together, we are a couple!!!
I don't know exactly when we should get married, but I'll ask these crazy people who write bullshit and let you know!

I can't understand the absurdity of this whole thing and the fact that Jo cares about her privacy is even clearer to me now!

The chaos that was generated immediately afterwards is unbelievable!
I read really nasty comments towards Thyanna!
Regardless of everything, nobody deserves such treatment!
Starting from the fact that everyone is free to do what they want in life, without being judged by strangers, I don't see how my private life should be of interest to other people.
They can judge my films, my acting, but not how I want to live my life!

I'm getting nervous again, I can feel it!
What's more, as if that were not enough, these people who enjoy creating chaos are putting videos of me with friends online, some from many years ago.

The latest one is of Thyanna's birthday, which we all went to a few months ago.
I've read the most absurd theories, each one more far-fetched than the last!

I would even be engaged to her just because I went to her birthday party.
Absurd! What about the other 50 people who were there?
All her boyfriends?
Unbelievable!
Of course all the videos were also posted looking for proof that Thyanna was dating our group, me in particular.
All of this is plausible, since we have all always gone out together and it is very likely that she is in the videos during our evenings together!

The problem is that we cannot figure out who is posting these videos, since they were shot by friends of ours and are therefore not public knowledge!
The person or people who are behind this must have access to all those videos, so it's someone in my group but I can't imagine who would do such a thing honestly.

I sigh and adjust my hat on my head.
These airport lounge chairs are so uncomfortable!

Instagram seems to be going crazy and keeps showing me all kinds of notifications: private messages, likes, tags in various posts.
I feel like I've been swallowed into a black hole!
Thousands of people asking me what's going on.
They ask me, Jamie, all my friends and any person connected to me in any way!
