Falling For You|| Raola

Paola's P.O.V

The next morning, I lay in my bed as I remember everything that happened last night.

My heartbreak when I got ditched by my crush, my heartbreak getting publicity.

I didn't know which was worse. I sigh as I lay in my bed, getting bored of laying down doing nothing.

I grab the book I was reading yesterday before I found out I got ditched by my crush, also known as my ex-crush.

The Fault in Our Stars.

I started reading the 5th chapter, as I had read 4 chapters the previous day, and it was pretty good.

After thirty minutes of reading chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8, I put the book down. It was all about this girl named Hazel Grace who has cancer who met her best friend Augustus Waters who also has cancer.

And then Hazel Grace realizes she has a crush on him. Hopefully at some point they end up together.

Hopefully.

As I put my face into my comforter, my door opens. It's my mom. "Honey, you need to get up" mom says.

"No mom!" I say. "I don't want to embarass myself. I don't want to be an embassment out to the public" I say.

"Hun, you're not an embarassment. You're just being talked about on the internet. Nothing new" mom says.

"Well I'm not getting up! And that's final!" I say as I punch my pillow and lay my face in my pillow.

"Are you really going to let some stupid boy ruin your day? You need to get up and act like the adult you're going to be in a few months. Stop acting like a child, get up, and get your ass out of that bed" mom says.

I raise my head up and turn around to face my mom and gasp. My mom gasps as she realizes what she just said. She puts her hand over her mouth.

"Did I just say what I just said?" Mom asks. "Did you just say what you just said?" I ask.

"Just... just get up from bed" mom says as she turns around and closes the door behind her.

I'm still in shock as she closes the door, realizing what she had just said. She usually never talked to me like that before, or cussed before.

Not wanting to take away anyone's self esteem, I get out of my bed and grab my green towel. I open my bedroom door and close my door behind me.

I walk to the bathroom and open the bathroom door. I close the door behind me as I walk to the sink and grab my toothbrush.

I grab toothpaste and squeeze toothpaste onto my toothbrush. I turn on the sink and place my toothbrush under the water.

I brush my teeth for 3 minutes. I turn off the sink and put my toothbrush away. I strip my clothes off and get inside the shower.

I grab soap and I begin to wash my hair as the hot water spills down my body and I continue to shower for 5 minutes.

I get out of the shower, walk to my bedroom, and open my bedroom door.

I put on a pink tank top, a white sweater over it, jeans, and black sneakers.

I comb my hair until it's dry, and I grab my purse. I walk downstairs.There is mom making breakfast. She gives me a big smile.

"Well, mom, I'm not eating here. I'm gonna go out and eat" mom says. "That's my girl! Show no mercy for the media!" Mom says as I smile at my mom.

"Bye mom" I say. "Bye sweetie" mom says. I open the door behind me then close it behind me as I step outside.

I went out to get some pancakes from "Breakfast and Stuff", and I got a drink. I left Breakfast and Stuff and walked outside when suddenly I saw a group of men hiding behind a bush with cameras in their hands and were peeking out from the bushes. I hold my phone in my right hand and my drink in my left hand.
