The Little Things ✔️

Fame isn't so easy

The light of my laptop screen fills my dark room with a splash of light. It's around 3am and I just can't sleep. Every moment I spend away from Matt makes me more nervous and anxious about what's happening. It hurt every day I spent away from him. Like I wasn't about to carry on, I try and distract myself by looking through my journals and tumblr feed. I was part of a fandom that adored two people who came with the ship name Phan. They had consumed me, but it was a place I felt happy and at home with my internet friends. They always made me feel better about this whole situation. Just lifting it up when I most needed it. I'm wrapped in my teal dressing gown that Nat had got me as a present its soft but not for long. My phone buzzes signalling I have a text. I open it up to see its from a what looks like upset, angry and worried Matt. As I read it I follow in the emotions. It reads:

Hey Al, I hope your doing well. We need to talk about this. Please message me when you've read it xxxx

Underneith is attached a link to a news paper article. Above the photo is the heading "Alice Jones unaccompanied from her boyfriend and duet partner Matt." I freeze at the title. I've never experienced bad press before so it feels weird. Yes I've seen it all before but never had it directly thrown at me. After my thoughts came back I scrolled down to see the article.

Alice Jones has been spotted walking past her friends house without her guitar strumming boyfriend. What does this mean for all the Malice fans? Have they broken up? What's going on behind closed doors? Has their music become so low that no one wants to listen to it? Or is Alice a slut that deals with other boys as well as Matt? Find out the facts tomorrow on POPWEEKLY!

Once again I freeze. Never had I been called a slut and I was so shocked I didn't realise my phone ringing. I pick my phone up and awnser the phone.
"Hello?" I say.
"Hey." Matts soothing voice replies.
"Have you seen the article yet?" He says sounding stressed. I take in a deep breath then sighed.
"Yes, I have. What did you want to talk to me about?" There's s pause.
"We need to tell them!" Matt finally says.
"Tell them what?"
"Tell them that we are fine, we're just sorting out some private issues." He says calmly.
"Okay, how?" I say sigh.
"Make a video? Or a song explaining and put it on YouTube. Make sure everyone sees it. I'll do the guitar for it and you do the vocals."
It sounds like a plan.....the only plan.
