These past weeks haven't been easy at all ever since the fight between me and Zack I feel empty and alone if we're really good each other we'll come back but I'm very excited for an red carpet event to meet fans ,I feels a mix of excitement and anxiety.I'm thrilled to be part of such a prestigious event, but at the same time, I'm hesitant because she knows Zack will also be attending. The past few weeks have been filled with emotional ups and downs, and I'm unsure how I'll handle seeing him again in public.

My mind races with thoughts of our recent arguments and the pain any potential awkwardness, while another part feels the need to face the situation head-on.

Olivia, noticing I'm inner turmoil, sits down with me to offer some support and guidance. "I know this event is making you nervous, but you don't have to face it alone," Olivia says reassuringly. "I'll be there with you every step of the way."

I look at Olivia with gratitude in my eyes. "Thank you, Liv. I don't know what I'd do without you."

Olivia smiles. "You don't have to pretend everything is okay. If you need some space from Zack or if you want to talk to him, I'm here to support whatever you decide."

Taking a deep breath, I nod. "I'll go to the event. I can't let this situation control me. This is for me just for me not him ."

As we arrive at the event venue, I take a deep breath and steps inside. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and anticipation as she walks the red carpet. Flashing cameras and reporters call out my name, but I keeps her focus on moving forward.

Then, she spots Zack in the distance, surrounded by his own group of photographers and fans. My heart skips a beat, and for a moment, she contemplates turning around and leaving. But then I remind myself that I'm stronger than this situation, and she continues forward.

It was fun for the most part of met fans that said I changed their lives I love having that impact on people I'm incredibly grateful for all of this but I still can't help but think about Zack but this is my night nothing can ruin they

Olivia had to go the bathroom so I'd waited but overall though At the event, I can't shake the feeling that something is off. I see Hailey giving her smug glances from across the room, and it only fuels her suspicion. As she mingles with other guests, Olivia overheard bear to see her best friend, being kept in the dark about the truth. After finding out from Zack's team that Hailey leaked the video and that Zack knew about it but chose not to tell me , Olivia decides that it's time for me to intervene.

One evening, Olivia invites me over to her place, wanting to talk about something important. As we sit down together, Olivia takes a deep breath and gathers her thoughts.

"Lauren, there's something I need to tell you," Olivia begins, looking into my eyes. "I found out that Hailey was the one who leaked the video of you and Zack. And I also learned that Zack knew about it but didn't tell you."

My eyes widen in shock, my heart sinking at the revelation. "What? Why would he keep that from me?"

Olivia takes a moment to choose her words carefully. "I think he was scared of losing you, and he thought it would be better to handle it himself. But it was wrong of him not to tell you the truth. You deserve to know what's going on in your own life."

Tears start to well up in my eyes as I processes the information. "I can't believe he lied to me. I thought we were honest with each other."

"I know, and I'm so sorry you had to find out this way," Olivia says, reaching out to comfort me . "But now that you know the truth, you have to decide what to do next. You deserve someone who will be honest with you and support you through everything."

I wipe away my tears, feeling a mix of anger and sadness. "I need to talk to Zack. I can't let him get away with lying to me like this ."

Olivia nods in agreement. "You should talk to him and hear his side of the story. Communication is key in any relationship, and you deserve to have an open and honest conversation with him."

I'm furious what the fuck he has been lying to me? For how long? I think I'm going to be sick I can't take it My heart sinks as I realize that the rumors are true, and Hailey was indeed behind the leaked video. My Fury takes over, and I decide I had enough of keeping quiet. I marches over to Hailey,my eyes blazing with anger.

"You did this, didn't you?" U hisses, barely able to contain my rage.

Hailey smirks, not bothering to deny it. "Well, well, well, looks like the little nobody finally figured it out. You thought you could steal Zack away from me and get away with it?"

I take a deep breath, trying to keep my cool. "Zack and I didn't get together until after you two broke up. Your jealousy and bitterness are eating you alive, and you couldn't stand seeing us happy, could you?"

Hailey laughs mockingly. "Please, Lauren. You're nothing special. Zack will get tired of you eventually and realize he made a mistake. You don't belong in his world."

Before I can respond, Zack steps in, looking conflicted. "Hailey, enough. This has gone too far, and you know it."

Hailey turns on him, her expression cold. "Don't act all innocent, Zack. You knew what was happening, and you kept it from Lauren. She deserves better than this."

My anger boils over, and I can't hold back any longer. I turns to Zack, my voice trembling with fury. "You fucking lied to me. You knew about this, and you didn't tell me? I had to find out from Olivia and Hailey?!"

Zack's face falls, and he looks regretful. "I didn't want to hurt you. I thought I could handle it on my own."

"That's not your decision to fucking make!" I started to yell, tears streaming down my face. "We're supposed to be a team, but you kept something so significant from me I trusted you ."

The entire room falls silent, all eyes on the heated argument unfolding before them. I doesn't care; u had enough of their lies and betrayal.

" fuck you both!" Lauren yell, not caring who hears. " Hailey you can go kiss an ass and you Zack don't talk to me don't text me don't come to my house don't call me or don't come to San studio we're done for good ."

With that, I storms out of the event, leaving Zack and Hailey behind. As she walks away, I feels a mix of anger, sadness, and relief. I'm done with the lies and the drama, and I knows she deserves someone who will be honest with her and treat my with respect. It's time for me to focus my own happiness and move forward without the weight of everyone holding my back.
