Lover's Perspective

Me and reppy were walking down our favorite street, cornelia street. It was winter so there was a light snowfall and there were fairy lights hung up along the streets, making everything seem so blissful, i felt so at peace.

Her hand intertwined in mine, my head on her shoulder and her scarf around my neck

"Love?" She broke me from my thoughts

"Hm?" I smiled

"Wanna get some hot cocoa?" She asked while pointing to a cafe around the corner of the street

I nodded happily and we started walking over there

we were standing in line when sudden i heard this agitating, grating voice behind me

"Reputation?!" When i heard it immediately struck a nerve. I knew who it was but i didn't want to look back.

But rep did

"oh hey Georgia" rep said calmly, there was nothing laced in her voice, no anger, no happiness, just nothing  as she turned back

"Uhm whos this?" Her voice cane back again. Honestly can she just go away and leave reppy alone

Rep was gonna turn around and start speaking but i did do first

"Hi. Lover. Nice to see you again." I said with a very obvious fake smile plastered on my face

She looked at me with disinterest and looked back at rep again

"really? Her?" Georgia's eyebrows furrowed

"you could do better reputation" she said ad she side eyed me and returned her gaze to reppy

What is her problem with me? I didn't even do anything? And why wasn't reppy saying anything back

I look up at reppy and she was just staring at her, deep in thought but wasn't saying anything so Georgia redirected her attention to me again

"Is it the pink hair? Little childish if u ask me. And have you seen the tabloids talk about her? Do you think she's pretty? I think you need to fix your eye sight cause im definitely better looking than her" i felt my eyes become glassy as she basically just stabbed me with a bunch of hurtful words. I was left speechless, but apparently it wasnt just me

Rep still hadn't said anything

"im gonna go take a walk." I said quietly

"Yeah, go." Georgia said and i really wanted to punch her in the face

but of course, i would never lay a finger to hurt anyone. So i just bit my tongue to try to not break down in the middle of a cafe

As i started walking out towards the door, reputation had seemed to have broken out of her trance as she called out to me

"Lover, wait!" She called out, and i had heard her but i couldn't bear to walk back in

Why didn't she fucking say anything. Why didn't she defend me when Georgia were saying these things about me infront of her face

I started walking again but my vision got blurred out from a layer of tears and i could just feel my legs give out under me so i fell back onto a bench

I buried my head in my hands as i cried. Why? Was i so hard to stand up for? Am i just not worth the effort?

"Lover?" Someone called out my name, it wasn't rep as i had first hoped, it was 1989

I tried to say something but i couldn't, i just started crying again and she rushed to sit beside me and pulled me into a hug

"There there, its okay lover i got you" she rubbed my back as she whispered gentle reassurances

"Hey nine i got the donut- Lover? Are you okay?" Midnights said with a box of donuts in her hand and i shook my head

"Wanna tell us what happened?" 1989 asked

"R-reputation..Georgia.." i trailed off as midnights interrupted

"Shit...Georgia..?" She winced as she said her name and i nodded

"Mid who's georgia?" Nine asked

"Uh shes a friend of a friend..not really a good person per say and during the party her and rep got abit close"

The memory of the party sent a whole new wave of emotions as i start crying harder into nine's shoulder

"Uh, its okay lover you're okay, do you want me and nine to bring you home?" Midnights offered and pat my head awkwardly so i nodded and we walked to her car

When we were in the car, i could feel myself falling asleep against the window in the back while nine and mid were in the front

1989's POV

Me and Midnights were just doing a winter donut run and when she was in the store getting the donuts, i went out abit cause it was kind of warm in there

But when i left the room i saw a blonde girl with pink dyed ends crying on a bench

Hey that kind of looks like lover, i thought to myself

Shit.

Now we were in the car driving back to the house, i looked back and lover was asleep with tears rolling down her face

What happened?

I was thinking about all the possibilities as my phone rang....rep?

I picked up the phone and put it to my ear and not on speaker so lover wouldn't wake up

"Nine- nine? I messed up. Lover, she got upset and-

"I know. She's with me." I said sternly

"I- is she okay?"

"No. Shes a mess. What the fuck happened reputation?"

"I messed up i fucking messed up so bad" she repeated

"Talk to me when you get home." I said and ended the call
