Life behind the fame; A Conor Maynard fanfiction

Chapter 41

Alaska's POV 

It'd come as a shock, to be honest. Conor according to the media cheating on me whilst away in Amsterdam and I must admit I still haven't properly accepted it. Although he had been acting off on the phone the other night had I only put it off to him being tired and upset, nothing strange, it happened way too often for me to even question it anymore. But then the articles had started to blow up, the headlines massive with clickbaiting titles such as "Conor Maynard and mysterious girlfriend spotted in Amsterdam", "Is Elena the girlfriend pop star Conor Maynard has been hinting about" and "Fans are going crazy after leaked picture of British singer Conor Maynard and model Elena Robbinson". At first, had I put it off as rumours, just the media trying to sell a story that wasn't, in fact, true but the more I studied the blurry pictures did I feel like it actually had happened. 

Then Georgia had called to tell me about it and suddenly I was aware of the fact that I was the only one who actually still hoped that it all was totally faked. And now I was sat on Joe's sofa together with my best friend as she tried to talk some sense into me, telling me that I shouldn't even look at him again after what he'd done. 

"I need to hear him out though G, he probably has a good reason for doing all of this"

She shakes her head and I can tell she's done with this chat already. Still, I just can't give up on what we have. I know that what we have between us is special and that it isn't something that'll break because of something like this. 

"He's fucking cheated on you, it's not like this is something small that'll solve itself after a simple chat when your little baby gets back home. You need to realise how wrong this is Al"

I sigh as she crosses her arms over her chest in an aggressive manner. She is literally impossible to talk to about this. Why can't she just see this from my perspective and understand how hard this actually is for me? 

"I give up on you, I just hate how you can't seem to see my side of this at all"'

If it hadn't been for the fact that she actually is my best and only friend right now would I probably have stormed out by now. It just pisses me off how she's been acting since I got here about three hours ago now. 

My eyes shoot over to my phone that is vibrating on the coffee table, Conor's name clear on the screen as I pick it up to answer.

"Don't do this to yourself Alaska"

I press the answer button before Georgia has time to convince me to do something different, walking over to Joe's spare room to get a bit of privacy in all of this. 

"Hey baby, you having fun?"

It was hard to just ignore the fact that he still hadn't talked to me about what had happened but then am I sure he just like me wants to do that face to face instead of over the phone.  

"If you can call sitting in the gate waiting to board a plane fun then yes"

I chuckle because despite being in the worst mood ever was it impossible not to laugh at his bad jokes. 

"I'll take that as a no then"

The lump is growing in my throat as he lets out a cute laugh on the other side. Surely this couldn't be the end. 

"Are you coming to mine later?"

I sigh, thinking of what Georgia had told me earlier. "He doesn't even deserve your look after this". Somehow had it made me doubt myself because suddenly am I not sure I'm ready to hear him say it, for us to be over. Like if I just pretend this didn't happen we would still technically be together just like we were before he went away.
