y/n was currently out, shopping. by herself. vinnie didn't go with her because he was cooking for her at home. they were the biggest couple. everyone loved them, and wanted to be them. but there was one problem. he loved her more than anything. it wasn't a problem to them, but to everyone else. it was rare for them to be separated.
as y/n was outside, walking around with a couple of bags in her hand. paparazzi found her, and began taking hundreds of pictures almost blinding her. they harassed her with questions. she was being recorded by some other people and vinnie was tagged in the video. he set the knife down, and clicked on the notification. he cleaned his other hand as he watched the video, furrowing his eyebrows.
"can i please just shop?" he heard her say through the video. he turned off his phone and grabbed his keys, speeding over to y/n. he tried to hurry, knowing she wasn't comfortable. it was obvious in the video. he found her, and put his hand on her lower back, and guided her into a different store. he removed her hand and looked in her eyes. "are you okay?"
"how did you find me?" she chuckled softly. "don't worry about it. let's go home yeah?" she nodded. as he drove home, his phone rang. it was one of his friends. his hand left y/ns thigh and he picked up the phone. "hey."
"dude, where'd you go? we had to save your dinner."
"sorry, i went to pick up y/n." he smiled and looked over at her. "stop leaving us for her."
"she needed me."
"no she didn't. she was shopping. you chose to go get her and claim she needs you. this is getting out of hand." they stopped at a red light. "what's your problem?"
"she's my problem. it's always about her. y/n this, y/n that."
vinnie just sighed. "she needed me, and that's that." and he hung up the phone. y/n heard the conversation and looked over at him not knowing paparazzi was filming them. "v?"
"mhm?" he looked over at her with a smile. "are you sure this is working?" she spoke softly. his smile faded. "what? are you breaking up with me?"
"no.. but it just doesn't seem like it's working. your friends hate me. every time im around they always just stare at me weird."
"baby, they're jealous of you. trust me. they like you, they just don't like that im always with you."
"do they always have to be over at our house though?" she looked down.
*later that night*
y/n was brushing her wet hair after she slipped on vinnies shirt that covered her sleep shorts.
vinnie had opened the door and just... stared at her. "hi baby. what's up?" she smiled up at him, and kissed him but he didn't kiss back. "what's wrong?" her eyes flickered between his. he showed her the video of them talking about breaking up. it was all over the internet and starting to become a big deal. even on google. if you searched what they were, it would tell you 'possibly split.' and let's just say, vinnie wasn't too happy.
