Lana stumbled through the door before closing it, leaving the cold winter breeze out. She threw off her old shoes and placed down her purse when she had entered the living room.

It was all dark until she turned on a few small decor lights around the room, making it a bit more comfy and cozy, before she sat down on the couch sighing. She fished for her phone in her pocket, typing her code and entering Instagram.

Her fingers were fast, and with a few taps and swipes she was live on Instagram, waiting for people to join. Her breathing was quick, but she tried taking in a few deep breaths to ease it out.

"Hey everyone" she said smiling, noticing how bad lighting there was, but she didn't care, all she needed to do was to make things clear.

"I just wanted to hop on here and talk about all that's been going on lately with all the negativity on here" she said, sighing internally, preparing herself for where this was heading. "I have temporarily shut down my twitter account cause I didn't wanna surround myself with all the negativity and rudeness anymore"

"I know there's also positive comments and I see you all, and I really try to focus on all of the people who wishes me good and expresses love, but it's just... so hard" she said.

She looked on her screen, noticing there were about 2000 people watching now.

"There are people hiding behind these images and profile pictures that's not even them and they are saying things that has such a negative effect on people, and destroying and ruining their days, and I just ask you like, what kind of people do you wanna be in the world?" She asked, taking another breath before continuing "I don't wanna be that kind of person that's going to hurt someone, or you know infect them with negativity... that's not who I wanna be in the world" Lana said placing her hand at her chest as she was speaking her sincere words.

"So I think everyone needs to pause, think about what you wanna say..."

"...you know" she started, but looked away and sighed, thinking about what to say. "I- it's like even hard to prepare for this. Just sitting here, I was done with work and I was feeling pretty good, and then I was looking at the comments on Instagram and it was like have you seen this and that's disturbing and I was just like... oh my god like- more stuff, really?" She said disappointed, exhaustion dominant in her voice.

"And that's also why I've shut my twitter account down cause I didn't wanna be a platform where people could spread hate"

"And to those of you who have intentionally tried to cause this and started this... you know congratulations to you" she said sarcastically, deep down truly hurt. She was so frustrated that all this had happened and was happening all because of her love life.

"I can say that it's frustrating, being on this side of it reading certain things and being attacked by fans or ex fans, uhm..."

"...I- being labeled by them too is very unhealthy, and unfair" she said, pursing her lips together as she thought about what to say next.

"I'm just living my life you know... and I'm just being attacked for living my life. I will never understand, and I don't want to understand how my significant other could ever change anything about who I am as a person, and what my qualities are. It's so irrelevant who im dating and what I choose to do with my life... that's hopefully not what you're following me for, and if it is, I can already say that it's not going to change. All this negativity and comments won't change my love or make it any less" she said, feeling like a stone lifted from her chest as she addressed that.

"I just don't see why this has become such a big deal" she said in her deep voice that was even deeper because it was late.

"I don't know what more to say I just- I had to share this cause I know a lot of people are confused to as why I've shut my twitter account down, and why I haven't been as active as I usually am" she said, continuing the live a little bit longer before saying her goodbyes, still feeling hopeless and very disappointed. Why were people so rude and so disturbed. She had no idea, it wasn't as if she was the first female celebrity to date another female, or the first celebrity to date someone younger. Lana had always grown up with the sentence love is love and she had always kept that in mind.

She sighed before taking off her coat that she hadn't gotten a chance to get rid of before she had started the live. Her frustrated self made the way upstairs and into the bedroom, sighing as she entered.

"Hi my love" you said, placing down the book, you were reading, on your legs. You were smiling, but when you saw Lana's facial expressions your smile faded.

"I saw you were live" you told her, and she asked if you had been in on it, to what you shook your head.

She undressed herself, changing into her night gown, before she threw herself onto the bed landing next to you.

"What's up?" You asked, caressing her hair making her roll onto her side facing you.

"Is it still the thing about us?" You asked sad, and she nodded before you sighed.

"I'm sorry" you said, but Lana immediately looked up at you with a stern look. "It's not your fault y/n it's theirs"

You sighed, bending your knees as your head fell back onto the headboard. "I know..." you whispered, closing your eyes.

Silence appeared for a while, both of your minds wandering with a million thoughts.

"Do you think it's bad that I'm so much older?" Lana asked, letting her overthinking convince her she actually was disturbing for dating you.

You immediately opened your eyes before moving your book from your lap and onto the nightstand. You got down onto the mattress, cuddling closer to Lana with a deep sigh.

"I chose to love you and I still do. I don't care about the age gap that doesn't matter. I love you, we both have a part in this, don't blame yourself because of what they're writing. We love each other and that's the important thing, love is love remember" you said in a soft voice to try and make her understand that she was not trying to force you into something, and that you loved her with all your heart. You hated seeing her like this, blaming herself just because she's the older one.

She smiled slightly at you, her delicate lips looking more beautiful than ever when forming into a little smile. You giggled internally before kissing her hair "rest now baby" you said, gathering her in your arms, which she immediately melted into.

"I love you precious" she said, closing her eyes, her eye lids still and calm making her look like the most beautiful and angelic woman to ever exist.

Your woman.
