Cold Coffee (A George Shelley/Union J Fanfic)

One to the other

"Everything you can imagine is real"

---

Back to Lacy's POV:

I wake the next morning to the sound of rustling and someone calling my name.

I pull my quilt over my head, trying to block out the noise.

Then I'm aware of someone tugging then away from me, and I peer out of the covers to see Kayla standing over me, still in her pyjamas.

At my house?!

I sit up quickly, letting my eyes adjust to the light, "What are you doing in my house?"

"Your mum let me in"

I groan, "I was sleeping"

She rolls her eyes, throwing the newspaper she's holding towards my face. I quickly grab it from the air before it can hit me and scan the front page,

"ONE TO THE OTHER"

"What is this?" I ask, looking up from the paper,

"Just read it" she says hesitantly,

I sigh and begin to read,

"Union J's George Shelley seen with two different girls in the past three days, how many more?"

"After confirming that he was in a relationship with blonde bombshell Lacy Evans, following being seen in Bristol together, he's now been spotted with a brunette cuddling up in Starbucks together..."

I look down to where there's a picture of George and the brunette sitting across from eachother in starbucks, George smiling sweetly at her.

Tears blur my vision and I throw the paper on the floor, looking up at Kayla who's biting her lip anxiously,

"How could he?!" I sob, "I don't understand"

She walks over to the edge of the bed and sits down next to me, rubbing my back as I cry into her arms.

"He's an idiot Lacy, now everyone knows" she says softly, "You deserve better"

The picture of them two seems to stick in my mind and I continue to cry, thoughts running through my head.

George would never do that

But he did?

There's proof on the front page of every newspaper across the country right now.

As if on queue my phone rings from the bedside table and I scramble for it, answering it quickly,

"Hello?" I say, trying to sound calm,

"Lacy? It's Josh"

I bite down on my lip, tears falling down my cheek again, "Hey"

"Look I don't mean to butt in or anything but George won't answer his phone and I've just seen the newspapers... what's going on?"

I pause, trying to get my words together. Then I open my mouth to speak...

"He..."

I get as far as that before breaking down into sobs, passing Kayla the phone who quickly talks to Josh,

"They broke up... Well yeah... anyway Lacy just saw the papers... I have no idea who she is.... yeah.... she's a bit upset...."

I breathe in sharply, wiping the tears from my face and quickly leaving the room. As soon as I enter the bathroom I splash my self with cold water, staring at my reflection in the mirror,

"Keep it together" I say under my breath, "Keep it together Lacy"

I turn the shower on and twist the temperature up so it's warm before stepping into it. The warm, soothing water on my skin seems to relax me and I sigh in relief.

After it seems like hours go by of me standing there staring at wall, letting the water soak me, I step out and wrap myself up in a towel.

I apply my make up quickly, pulling my hair through a hairband so it rests neatly on top of my head. Then I leave and enter my bedroom to find Kayla sitting on the chair in the corner, engrossed in the newspaper.

As soon as she sees me she turns it over, and I smile weakly at her,

"Carry on reading" I sigh, rummaging through my wardrobe,

"Actually..." she starts nervously, "There's a bit you might want to hear"

I pause, keeping my eyes focused on the clothes infront of me, "Read it out please?"

There's a moment of silence before she starts reading it out,

"After George left the cafe in a hurry, the brunette, also known as Jasmine or 'Jas', had this to say..."

I close my eyes, listening to Kayla read out the article slowly,

"Me and George have been friends for years, actually a bit more than that really... Anyway we wanted to catch up after just speaking through text messages constantly, and just seeing him again makes my heart melt... we have something special"

She finishes reading and I turn around to look at her, this time stopping myself from crying. Instead, I'm filled with anger.

"What an absolute..." I shout, Kayla cutting me off before I can finish,

"She seems like a right one she does..." She remarks, "Just look at the amount of make up she's wearing"

I bite down on my lip harshly, "I think I need to meet her"

Kayla stares at me in shock, "Don't be stupid Lacy, stay out of it. George has just proven he's an idiot"

"It sounds like shes trying something... like she's got this evil plot and right now it's all being played out perfectly" I grab some jeans and a t shirt from my wardrobe, "Im not going to let her get away with this"

"You and George are over!" she exclaims suddenly, "I'm sorry lacy but this Is stupid"

"I know it is" I sigh, "But I can at least try to get him back"

She pauses, "What are you planning on doing? Going to Bristol, finding this Jasmine girl, talking to her, and then what?"

Now that's a question

I sit down on my bed, trying to think of a plan, "I don't know... but I'm going anyway"

Next update should be later on tonight! Comment&vote?🎀
