The Twitter Scandal - Jauregui

"This is crazy, how can this monster be free?! WHAT crossed through the fucking judge's ass when he plead not-guilty?! I don't fucking get it, Luce." I paced around the hits room crazily after a while, as she just stared at the comments of my feed.

"She's a Jenner, remember the Paris robbery? How that was all set up for media?" I nodded. "This is probably a media stunt too." I shook my head again pacing the floors with one hand crossed and the other scratching my chin. "But that's just so unnecessary if they have to fake a stunt that huge it can't be fake, why would they go as far as Kendall getting a restraining order against her it's stupid. She's definitely guilty." I saw Lucy sigh, I could tell she was sick and tired of me going on about this all night, yesterday and now all morning.

"Look Lauren, they've faked things before — not y/n but the family, maybe they payed the judge to call not-guilty who knows. Maybe she did abuse poor Jenner but what happened happened yeah I know it's so fucking awful but you need to take time to calm down." She said standing up, one hand on my shoulder. "Fine." I mumbled under my breath. "I'll buy you a coffee out on the park near the studio." I nodded and hugged her briefly.

Groaning at every innocent little pebble that I threw towards the innocent river, not even these damn rocks could help me get over her — I mean how could they?! She was so — my thoughts were squashed as I heard "go to hell!" From behind me – I sighed and stared at the twenty-something year old woman who walked her dog down the road. She mumbled something else under her breath but I ignored it.

Clenching my fist as I picked up another rock allowing the rock to squeeze into my skin, nothing hurt but I still threw it in rage at the river, as if it were everyone in the world calling me guilty. My face reflected onto the water as I stared down at it.

I sighed and gave up.

Walking back to my backpack only to hear my phone ring — angrily I searched for it as I had found it, it stopped ringing. It was her. It was my ex-fiancé...my one true love. I missed her call. Three of them. Two voicemails were left.

Y/N, please answer the phone...

Was the first voicemail.

Look I need to talk to you —

That voicemail was five minutes long. I closed it and sat there staring at my phone — memories of us together came back. At first everyone thought she was the villain for stealing my heart away — while it had belonged to a pop star — everyone called her a snake or things along those lines. But I protected her. I always did...even now.

Throwing my hoodie over my head I picked my stuff up — my head hurt, it just hurt to feel, you know?

I stopped to look over my shoulder as I reached a beat green trashcan — from the corner of my eye, I saw a girl lean down to reach for something. Then she looked up. "Is this your phone?" I heard her call waving an iPhone in the air — quickly I checked my back pockets — nothing there, I simply nodded and ditched my bag calmly walking up to her.

"Thanks," i smiled slightly at the brunette — "no problem..." she said in an odd tone. Fuck she recognized me. "Something wrong?" I asked stupidly. She motioned her hands towards me, I thought she was going to slap me but instead she whispered "I don't think your guilty." I furrowed my eyebrows. "Lucy!" I heard someone shout, but I smiled knowing...

Someone did believe me.

"Y-You don't?" My smile widened and she shook her head "I'm n—" I was close to coming clean. But this is one girl, she couldn't change the worlds opinion.

"My friend hates you, go." She said — "hey who are you talking to?" I heard the same female voice say — "huh? Nothing." She said and I turned around for a seconds hoping she wasn't looking at me although it wouldn't matter, because our eyes locked for a split second. "No fucking shit." She said, crossing her arms.

"Lauren Jauregui..." I whispered to myself as I had recognized her.

"Lauren, let's go." Lucy said taking her by the hands but Lauren refused and pushed her away. "Hey princess," I waved with a wink, she got dangerously closer but I stood tall.

"You monster," she said as her reached over to meet my face, quickly I stopped her. My hand on her wrist, not tightly but in a way that she wouldn't reach me. "Let go of me!" She took her hand back — her leg tried to follow in the same directions but this time lower — I didn't see it coming, I fell on the ground. "You hurt her!" Lucy said — "she can grow a new pair and think twice before hurting one of us."

She spit.

"She is one of us!" Lucy yelled. "Lucy what the fuck?! You're on her side! You know what she did," I remained on the floor, speechless — I didn't want to do anything to harm them or scare them.

"You don't have to come here and beat the shit out of her! She didn't do anything to you." They argued for the remainder of the time that I was down.

As I began to stand up, they started to yell at each other now. "Stop!" I yelled in pure anger "I'm guilty." I said and Lauren smiled "you fucking bastard!" She jumped on me — punches left and right. I thought that would shut her up, Lucy saw me in disgust now.

The one person I've met face to face with who didn't think I was some monster now doesn't believe me either. Everything soon blacked out for me. I hoped it'd black out forever. Maybe I wouldn't have to walk around a "monster" anymore.
