Twin Love [Pearce Twins]

Chapter 7

{Jess' POV}

I had just been chatting to Tilly outside our favourite vintage store, just 10 minutes after Amy finished hacking John's Insta (she complained all night that he had a super tricky password because he was famous and needed a secure account) when my phone went off. Then again. Then again. "You're popular!" Tilly laughed as I pulled out my phone and scrolled through 36 (!!!) Instagram notifications. All of which included "John Pearce" somewhere in them (comments, DM's, followers). All of which were from strangers.

Oh. No. Holy. Shit.

Nononononononononononononononononononononononononononononono!

I had been so excited about telling my friends about my relationship with John, I completely forgot that John had friends too. And nearly 64.2K dedicated Instagram followers (A/N: I actually checked). I let out a strangled sound that would've been a scream if I'd let it out. I needed to see my twin immediately.

As fast as I could, I made the first excuse that came to my head to Tilly. "Um, that was my mum. She just texted me like, five times because she just saw the state of my room. I kinda promised her I would have my bedroom spotless before I left to see you. She's super pissed and wants me home right now. Sorry Till, gotta go!" I grabbed her hand in a silent goodbye and hopped on the first bus I saw.

As soon as I was out of Tilly's view, I started hyperventilating and texted Amy

"holy shuty ypou neeeed to helop me im in biog truble", a shitty text because i was concentrating on not dying and my hands were shaking like crazy.

As soon as I got off the bus, sprinted home, fumbled with the key and raced up to my twin's room, I yelled at her. "Oh-my-god-Amy-you-need-to-help-me!"

I poured my heart out to my sister and told her everything. Then she tried to help me in her Dr Phil voice (she watches way too much of that show).

"Calm down dude, isn't that what you wanted? for people to think you were going out with John?"

"I didn't want the whole f-ing world to know!"

"That's what happens when you put a Photoshopped picture of you and a celebrity on their Instagram!"

"How was I supposed to know it would end like this?"

"Um, I don't know, maybe because you've been in love with this guy for ages and you know he has over 60 thousand followers?!"

"GIRLS! KEEP IT DOWN, PLEASE! I'M TRYING TO WATCH TV HERE!"

Mum hollered from downstairs.

"Just, please help me!" I whisper-shouted to Amy.

She rolled her eyes and turned on her TV to cover up our conversation from Mum, and the news began blasting through.

"Australia's own Justice Crew star John Pearce has recently given up his unhappy relationship with Haley Myers, and has already moved on, finding a 16 year old from Melbourne to replace her, Jess Green. Next up, sport with David" the reporter, um, reported.

Just like that, I projectile vomited all over Amy's bed.
