Tangled Web (Catfish Sequel) {M.C}

Chapter Eleven

Ivy's POV: 

Ivy woke up before Olivia to the sound of people chattering. She couldn't figure out what it was to start with and slowly got herself out of bed to look out of the window. There were people with cameras all over the front lawn. She shut the curtains again quickly hoping no-one had noticed, grabbed her phone and walked into Olivia's room to check on her. 

Olivia was still fast asleep, so Ivy left her to it and went downstairs, hoping she'd remembered to shut all the curtains. She flicked on the kettle and phoned Michael, who didn't answer. She thought about phoning the others, but thought that if Michael was busy, they probably were too, so she rang Nova instead. 

Nova told her she'd be over as soon as possible, and would come through the back way. 

Ivy went to make herself a coffee, but before she found a cup she could hear Olivia had woken up upstairs. She went and got her, and by the time she had changed her nappy and got her changed, Nova had arrived. 

Ivy let her in, and flicked the kettle back on.

"Michael's not answering his phone, but I have no idea what's going on. I don't know why they are here." Ivy told Nova.

"Have you not checked Twitter?" Nova asked.

"No, didn't even cross my mind to be honest, you'd think that would have been the first thing I'd do."

Ivy grabbed her phone from her pocket, and went to open Twitter.

"No, don't check it!" Nova pleaded. 

"Why?" Ivy asked, starting to panic. 

"Because I already know what's going on." Nova admitted. "I checked Twitter after you rang me."

"Well, what is it?" 

"It's Michael." Nova began. 

Ivy stomach felt like it dropped, she felt sick instantly.

"Someones claiming they slept together." She finished.

"But that's nothing new, someone claims that everyday." Ivy told her. 

"Yeah but this girl has pictures." 

"Oh, so it's just someone he's hooked up with before?" Ivy asked. 

"Apparently this was last night."

Ivy opened Twitter on her phone, and sure enough the pictures were the first things that came up. Her heart felt like it skipped a beat. She recognised the room the pictures were in. It was the hotel room that Michael was in when he Skyped her last night.

"No wonder he was in such a hurry to hang up." She laughed before bursting into tears. 

Olivia started fussing from the floor where she was sitting playing with the wet wipes that Ivy had accidentally left near her, so Nova went over and picked her up. 

"What a little fucking tramp!" Ivy shouted, tapping the keys on her phone quickly as she typed.

"Let's be honest Ivy, I hate to say it but it's not the girls fault as such. No-one would say no if they are a fan girl. Don't tweet anything. Let's get everything sorted before you do anything that will be used across all the tabloids."

Ivy's phone rings in her hand.

"Oh look who it is. Let's see if he makes some shitty excuse." Ivy sobbed. 

"Hi babe, how are you and-" He started.

"Don't give me all that. What the fuck? How could you do this. We have a fucking child together and we're supposed to be getting married. You've just thrown it all away for a slutty little fangirl."

"Wh-What are you talking about?" Michael stuttered.

"Seriously?! Fuck you Michael Clifford." 

Ivy hung up, she didn't want to hear his voice anymore. 

"Ugh what an absolute asshole. He tried to claim ignorance." 

"What a prick." Nova agreed. 

Ivy couldn't stop crying. She was so angry. How could he have told her he loved her, and been talking so happily with her and Olivia before doing that. If he was that casual about it, how many other times had it happened? Had he been doing this since the beginning? Had he ever been faithful?

She took off her engagement ring and threw it across the kitchen before slumping down onto the floor with her head in her hands. 

Nova's POV: 

"Maybe you should go to your dad's for a bit?" 

"Maybe." Ivy answered.

"For now, lets call the police and hopefully get rid of the vermin on the garden."

"Okay." 

Nova put Olivia into her walker and called the police and explained the situation.

"They're sending a couple of officers now." Nova informed her when she'd finished on the phone.  

Nova helped Ivy pack some stuff in a suitcase for her and Olivia whilst they waited for the police to move the paparazzi on, and rang Ivy's dad whilst Ivy was upstairs. She explained what had happened and Bill got angry very quickly. 

"Bill you need to calm down." Nova pleaded. "Ivy needs you right now, and she's angry enough."

"Okay, sorry. I just can't believe he's done this. I mean I expected it to start with but after all this time, I thought that he had proved me wrong. Clearly not. He better hope I don't get my hands on him." Bill ranted. 

"I know. I'd happily kill the bastard myself." Nova told him. 

"Thank you for letting me know. Ivy and Olivia should definitely come here. You're welcome to stay too. Ivy's lucky to have a friend as good to her as you are." Bill told her.

"It's okay. I won't stay, I've got work, but if you don't mind I'll come back and check on her?" Nova asked. 

"Of course, you're welcome as often as you want." 

Michael's POV: 

Michael's phone rang. It wasn't the name he wanted to see, but he answered it anyway. 

"How fucking dare you!" Bill shouted down the phone.

"I can explain!"

"You mean try and come up with an excuse as to why you slept with someone else behind my daughters back?"

"I don't know what happened. I don't remember anything. I'm sure I didn't do anything though." Michael tried to explain.

"Wow. You can't even remember fucking another girl? Nice one Michael. Go fuck yourself, and don't come near my granddaughter or my daughter again, I will kill you myself if Ivy doesn't get there first." Bill threatened before the line went dead.

Michael threw his phone across the room, luckily it landed on the bed. 

"How did everything get so fucked up?" 

"I don' t know, but we need to fix this." Calum responded.
