NOT A FAN

chapter 22

When I got home from Grayson's house, it was a little past 10pm. I quietly snuck into the house revealing almost everyone fast asleep on the couch with the tv running.

"Hey Em" my Grandma spoke quietly as I walked in, scaring me half to death.

I swear.. I nearly jumped out of my skin.

"Oh my gosh" I said placing a hand over my heart.

"You scared me grandma" i said with a quiet laugh.

"I'm assuming you've been out with Grayson" she says with a small laugh.

I quietly laugh too and nodded my head.

She shook her head back and forth as a small smirk appeared across her lips.

"Yeah" I said with a smile remembering the fun night we had.

"Well, go on up to your room sweet pea. It's getting late" she said with a smile, parting me on the arm.

You know it's your Grandma talking when she thinks a little past 10:15pm is late..

I nodded "okay, Night" I said giving her a hug before I went upstairs.

"Night" she responded quietly.

When I got to my room, I immediately plopped down on my beloved bed.

Ahh. I love my bed.

I pulled out my phone and decided to check Instagram seeing as I hadn't check it since the picture of Gray and I kissing had leaked.

I've kind of been avoiding it to be honest because I hate drama but I have to face it eventually.

Right?

I clicked on Instagram and was shocked at the amount of comments, likes and follows I had received in the past couple of days.

I mean, I figured people would notice me, but I never thought this many... We're talking thousands here..

"Woah" I said in shock as I stared at my phone screen.

How did these fans even find my @?

I had been tagged in over 300 posts in the past 24 hours and they were all the same picture... The one of Gray and I.

There was a lot of hate, but there was also a lot of positivity too.

I went through and liked several of the kind comments and then turned my phone off and set it on the charger beside my bed.

I turned over and laid on my back, staring at ceiling which is something I tend to do when I'm thinking.

It's so weird having all of this attention from people I don't know and who don't know me..

I don't know, I guess I've just never been much of a... Much of a...

How do I put this?...

Public figure..?

*ding*

I rolled over picking up my phone once again to check and see who had texted me.

Grayson 💚: are you home safe?

Me: yes, thank you :)
