Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 43

It was the next morning and there was no sign of my parents. In all honesty, I really don't want to go home. However only a small part of me thinks it would be for the best. I just hope that they'll come today. I feel like today is the best time for me to leave.

We all walked towards the building where we were going to perform. Geo was walking with Loren as always (and Tyler). I was third wheeling with Kylee and Edwin. 

I was about to open the door, but Loren quickly opened it for me for some reason. I looked at her in confusion, and she replied with a smile. I then walked through it, not bothering to hold it back for her.

I then sat down on my usual spot and jumped when Loren joined me. 

"You're looking pretty down." She said, her eyes staring into mine. "You don't realise how lucky you are don't you?"

I rolled my eyes and didn't reply. To be honest I wasn't at all angry, I was kind of expecting this.

"Well Geo's still yours." She added. I looked down at my hands which were fiddling with a piece of string. "Don't take him for granted."

She then walked away to Zach, and I stared at her like an annoyed kid who's parents wouldn't buy them something they wanted. She really doesn't understand.

I then turned my gaze to Geo, who was also sitting on his own whilst playing on his phone. In about an hour, we'll be up on the stage acting like our relationship is fine. Little do our fans know that we're on the verge on breaking up. To be honest, I thought we were already done.

"Chin up." Mark said as he sat down beside me. He sat down a little bit too close and I couldn't help but feel awkward. "You'll get used to this."

I'm guessing he was talking about performing in front of hundreds of people. Not gonna lie I'm not bothered about that anymore. Yeah, I love seeing my fans. But I'm not nervous or anything. "This may be my last time y'know." I sighed as I gazed at Geo.

"Yeah.." Mark sighed back, his gaze fixed on Loren. "But I understand why your parents are doing this."

"Because they're selfish-"

"No!" Mark gasped, looking at me now. "Because they love you."

I had to bite my tongue so I wouldn't correct him. He wouldn't understand. No one understands, only Geo does. 

We sat down for ages. It was really awkward, but then Geo ran up on stage without a smile this time. I stood up and prepared myself to act cheerful and in love. 

"You can do this Luc!" I heard Zach yell. He then gave me a gentle push as Juwany said my name, and seconds later I found myself staring at a crowd full of excited people.

"Unfortunately we have something to announce." Geo said to the crowd, avoiding eye contact with me. I stared at him with a frown. 

Wait, I know what's happening.

He's going to tell the fans that Leo is over.
