Its Not That Easy Being Famous

Chapter 11

"Okay. Well, this is the easiest way to say it...... Jake is flying over to London so he can try to win Riley back."

Emilee's POV

"WHAT???" I yelled. How could Jake do this? Why didn't he just let her go like a normal person would after she told him she didn't have feelings anymore? How could he ruin this for Riley? She's just starting to open up to Harry and he's going to ruin it! I guess Caleb could tell I had so many questions for him so he just kept on going.

"Yeah, he's going to get on a plane tomorrow morning and be there by the evening and stay there for a couple days."

"What day is he leaving?"

"Wednesday." It's Saturday today. So he's going to be here for 4 days. I don't think I could stand him for 4 days, heck, I can barely stand him for 2 minutes.

"So, you just let him buy the tickets?" I asked him.

"No. He came over and told me after he bought it, he wanted to know if I wanted to go too but I have to work so." It was quiet between us for a few minutes, I didn't have much to say after that and I was too mad at Jake to think properly. After a few minutes he finally spoke.

"So how do you feel about it?"

"I'm so pissed right now. How could he just waltz back in and try and get back together with her. She was right there on getting over it and she won't be able to make up her mind and have to get an opinion from everyone and I just can't even deal with this kind of stupidness." I said letting out a huff. He laughed at my choice of words at the end.

"I know you can't but I'm really tired," he said while yawning, "but if you tell Riley, make sure you give her enough time to think about what she's gonna say. I love you, babe." He said which made me smile and made me forget about Jake for a couple seconds.

"I will, I'll make sure of it. I love you, too. Goodnight, dream about me." I said with a little laugh.

"I always do, have a whatever it time of day it is over there. Bye." I said my goodbye back and we ended the call. I sat there for a minute just thinking about everything that just happened in the past 10 minutes when Harry walked in the kitchen. He walked in and the expression that was written on his face was a mix of shock, anger, and hurt.

"The pizza will be ready in a couple minutes if that's what you wanted." I said as he sat down in front of me. He didn't say anything so I didn't know if I should say something or ask him if he's feeling alright but in the midst of my mental debate, he finally spoke up.

"Emilee, I just heard your conversation with Caleb. I heard about Jake." He said while looking down at the table. Now it was my turn to be shocked.

"What all did you hear?"

"All of it." He said simply. "Why is he doing this?"

"Because, he likes being in control and be wants everyone to love him. Whether its real or fake. And because he thinks Riley is the one. It's complicated." I said feeling really sorry for him. I went over and sat down at the bar next to him.

"And I thought we were so close. I thought after tonight, Riley would start to feel something for me and forget all about that jerk. Emilee, I can't let it happen." He said, pouring his heart out to me.

"Listen, as much as I would love for you and Riley to be together and have babies and stuff, but I don't want all of this pressure on Riley all at one time. I know you don't want to hear this, but I think that even if you did tell Riley how you feel before tomorrow and then Jake comes and talks to her, she's going to be so confused as to what to do and if that happens I hope to everything holy that she decides to be with you. But, I think she wouldn't go back to him after what happened today." He stayed silent after that for a while until he finally spoke up after a few minutes.
