We entered Jesse's house and went to the living room right away, where he was already sitting.
"Took you guys long enough." Jesse says before looking up at me.
He sees that my nose and eyes are red, obvious that I had been crying.
"What happened?" he jumps up.
"I'll tell you guys. Sit down." I say.
We all sit down and I inhale.
"All of the fans are coming at me on my Twitter. My Twitter mentions are blowing up and it's super overwhelming. And I bet it's not even only on Twitter. Probably all of my social medias." I sigh.
Marcus and Jesse pull out their phones to check.
"This is disgusting." Marcus says.
"We knew it was gonna happen anyways." I sniff.
Marcus wraps his arms around me and pulls me close to him. I lay my head on his chest and he plays with my hair.
"It's okay, we have to ignore it. And we have many fan pages that support us and the teammates. That's the love and support we'll need. Don't worry, we can handle this." Marcus says.
"And I love you so much." he added.
I sniffed. "I love you so much."
"Guys.. look at this." Jesse says, handing us his phone.
It was a bunch of articles with pictures of Marcus and I. The articles were about when we were at the club and on the lunch date.

And there were many more that were worse.
"I'll be back." Marcus suddenly said and got up.
Jesse questions. "Where are you go—."
But he got cut off by the slam of the front door.
"Who does this dude think he is to be slamming my doors in my house? He doesn't pay rent here." Jesse scoffs.
I laugh at him but then stop.
"Where do you think he is going?" I ask.
"To be honest, I don't know." Jesse replied. "Sorry."
I nodded to let him know it's okay.
"But Cindy, listen to me. We all love you. The boys and I, the fans.. we love you. No matter what the other people say, don't worry about them. There's more people who are on our side. And I'll say something as well if it goes even further." Jesse tells me.
I sniff again before replying. "I love you and the rest too. Thank you, Jesse." I smile.
He smiles back. "So.. FIFA?"
"Bet." I laugh. "You know, Marcus told me not to tell you but.. he said he thinks I could beat you."
"Oh yeah? Okay. He's just saying that but I'm better than him soo.. get ready to get wrecked!" he replies.
"Mmhmm." I hum.
20 minutes later
"OH YEAH! I AM THE CHAMP!" I yell while jumping around the living room.
Jesse groans.
"You just got lucky with that oneee!" he whines.
"Nah, nah, nah! Just admit it, I'm better than you so take the L." I laugh.
"No." he answers bluntly.
"Whatever, you're just mad." I say.
I look check my phone to see the time. "Marcus has been gone for 30 minutes." I say.
Jesse shrugs his shoulders.
