Save My Life ~ N.H

28. Look What You Made Me Do

I can't believe this is happening to me again. I'm on a paparazzi walk with Jack. What did I do to deserve this?

It's August in LA so obviously it's hot outside. 97 degrees Fahrenheit, to be exact. But Donna made me wear long sleeves and pants to cover my bruises. Why do I have to pay for what Jack did? Also, why does Donna all of the sudden act like she's my manager?

These are questions I wonder about while we walk, but I don't have the answers. I just have to believe in karma. This is just happening to me because I'm not perfect. Someday I'll be happy and they'll get what's coming. Eventually. It doesn't seem like anytime soon.

Jack tries to hold my hand and I pull it away.

"What do you think you're doing? Don't touch me." I say.

"Do you never learn your lesson? Stop being a brat." He talks with a big smile on his face that creeps me out. "And try to look happy, there's cameras everywhere."

"I'm not dumb. You can't just put me down and not expect me get back up again." I say.

"I wouldn't describe you right now as being 'back up'. You're miserable."

He's so obsessed with saying the word miserable. "Well let's agree to disagree." I say.

Jack tried to take my hand again.

"I said stop. Are you gonna hit me again?" I roll my eyes.

"Diana, you know that's not like me." He laughs. Liar.

"Why are you laughing?" I ask.

"Because everyone's watching us and we're supposed to look like a couple."

I take out my phone.

"Diana, looking at your phone is not gonna look like a couple." I ignore him and look up articles about us.

There's so much new drama. Everyone moves on really quickly.

Jack Moore and Diana Anderson are still going strong

Unfortunately.

Why fans think Diana Anderson is engaged to Jack Moore

Nope, hell will freeze over before I agree to that.

More signs that Diana Anderson is pregnant plus fans debate whether Jack Moore or Niall Horan is father

Why do people still think that? Do I look like it?

Exposing Diana Anderson for cheating on Jack Moore

I've never cheated, but I wouldn't feel bad for him if I did. I mean, I shouldn't say that.

"Diana?" Jack says.

"Huh?"

"What are you doing? Get off your phone."

"Oh, right. Believe me, nobody cares if I'm smiling. The press is interested in other things." I say.

"Well me and my manager care. We don't want it to seem like I'm someone you don't want to smile around."

He is someone I don't want to smile around. Every time I see him it seems less and less possible to smile at all.

"Well that's great for you two. But me and my manager couldn't care less. So don't boss me around." I say.

"You sound like a little girl. Grow up." He says.

I can't really argue with that. But I don't care, so I just roll my eyes.

"So how's your affair with Niall going?" Jack asks.

He's probably going to end up getting mad at me for bringing Niall up.

"What? We aren't-"

"I see the articles Diana. Don't lie to me."

"You believe those? There's probably fake stuff about you too." I say.

"No, Donna makes sure there isn't. Why doesn't your manager do that? Maybe you need a new one."

"Shut up, no I don't."

Okay, maybe he's right. But I never will admit that I agree with him. Don doesn't seem to have my thoughts and feelings in mind, ever. But I need to be grateful for him. He's been my manager the whole time I've been here.

"Fine, don't trust me. Whatever." He says.

"Of course I don't trust you. Why would you think that?"

"Ok we'll, I don't trust you either." He has really bad comebacks.

"Are we almost done here?" I ask.

"We can leave whenever we want."

"Why didn't you say that earlier? Bye." I say.

"What the heck? Brat!" He says while I'm walking away.

I really hate him. I don't think I can do this for another month.

Would it really be so bad if I told people it was fake? What would happen? Nothing as bad as dating Jack, right?

I type Niall's number into my phone. I may or may not have memorized it. He picks up right away.

"Diana?"

"Hi." I say.

"Hi. What's up?"

"Niall. I need to tell you something."
