Behind the Screen (Rosa x Curtis)

Ninja

Been waiting so long to write this chapter!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Are you okay?" A voice asked me.

I could feel my heart climb up my throat. It sounded like Curtis! I whipped my head up, and saw Christoph, a worried look on his face. Light streamed from the doors, and I could hear all the excitement.

"I'm fine," I said, wiping away my tears "Shouldn't you be enjoying the party?"

Christoph sighed, and sat down next to me. He looked so professional in his tuxedo, his hair slicked back with shining gel. Without all of his over the top clothing, he looked so human.

"Are you sure your okay?" He asked, moving my hair back so that he could see my tear stricken face.  

I flinched at his touch and slightly moved away.

"I just got stood up." I said, twirling my fingers in my skirt.

A twinge of sympathy crossed his face. Then his eyes widened, and his mouth hang slightly open. He covered his face with his hands.

"I can't believe I forgot!" He exclaimed, mentally punching himself. 

"Forgot what?" I laughed, quickly trying to fix my face.

"About meeting you at the gates..." He suddenly stopped talking, and his face met with mine.

Suddenly it all clicked. Why they looked the same, why it bothered me when he kissed me, why I mistook his voice for Curtis's.

He is Curtis.

"You!" I exclaimed, standing up.

"Rosa, I can explain!" He said desperately, standing up and grabbing my wrist.

"You're Curtis! You've been lying to me about your identity the entire time!" I said, tearing away my wrist. I could feel my tears coming back again, "You've been lying this entire time!"

"Rosa, I just..." He tried, his face pained.

"Just what?!" I yelled, feeling my dress swish around my legs. "Wanted to lead me on? Yeah, why would some guy like you ever want a girl like me! Get to know me while pretending to be someone else, and then being with another girl!" 

It was like a smack in the face. He was dating Yancy, but going on dates with me!

"No Rosa please listen to me!" He exclaimed.

I tore down the stairs, and headed to my caravan. 

"Rosa!" He yelled, coming after me.

"JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" I yelled angrily, tears streaming down my face and onto the floor.

He stopped dead, clenching his fists. I ran as fast as I could, stumbling a few times, but never stopping, never looking back.

I'd fallen in love with a liar. 

The guy I had been texting, calling, going out with... it was Christoph all along. A celebrity, who had been dating Yancy. Was it a joke? I stood on the stairs of my caravan, and fumbled to get my keys out of my purse. Panicked, I quickly stabbed at the keyhole, missing it every time. I hit it so hard, that I dropped the keys onto the floor, the door still locked. 

I crumbled to the floor, holding my head with my hands.

"AAAHHA!" I screamed, getting rid of my fury.

I scream echoed, the sound of a broken heart filling my ears. My broken heart. My vision blurred as tears filled my eyes. I quietly cried, all of my voice being drained out of me with that scream. Tears drenched the wooden stairs, and it took me a while to regain my composure.
