Broken Hearts And Bruised Egos -Book 1

Chapter 40- River

I woke up at 6 AM to the sound of my phone vibrating on my nightstand. I rolled over and covered my head with my pillow. The phone started vibrating again. UGH! I snatched the phone off of my nightstand and plugged in my code. Six missed calls and five texts from Trevor.

Trevor:  Are you up yet?
Call me
River I need to talk to you.
Are you at your mom's or your dad's?
I'm coming over

What the hell is going on that he needs to talk to me this damn early in the morning?

What?! Trevor i'm exhausted what do you want?

Trevor: Mom or Dads?

Dad's

Trevor: Good, I'm parking now.

What the hell?

I ran down the stairs and flung the front door open. 

"Are you insane? Someone better be dying."

"I mean....my heart rate is rapidly accelerating." He said  with a grin, slowly taking in my appearance.

I'm suddenly aware of the fact that I'm in tiny sleep shorts and a tank top with no bra.

"I'll be right back." I said running up the stairs.

I quickly changed into my workout gear for kickboxing and pulled my hair up in a messy bun, might as well get ready now since I'm up. I brushed my teeth and washed my face before heading back down stairs.

Trevor and my dad were sitting at the table with coffee and donuts.

"I brought you coffee and breakfast, I know how moody you get when you're hungry." Trevor smiled.

"What's so important that you needed to wake me up at 6 AM?"

"I was trying to catch you before you went to your lesson. Have you seen the newspaper this morning?"

"They still print newspapers?" I asked taking a sip of my coffee.

"They do." He pulled a newspaper out of a bag and slid it to me. " Check out the front page."

I flipped the paper over and set my coffee down.  There Trevor and I were on the front page of the paper with a headline that read "Local Teens Wow County Fair Crowd."

" Oh lord. I didn't even notice anyone taking pictures." 

I slid the paper over to my dad.

"That's not all." He took his phone out, pulled up Instagram and slid the phone to me.

"We are trending on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and there's Youtube videos of us."

"Wow." I said handing him back his phone. "Who's posting this stuff?"

"Mostly kids our age from what I can tell."

"This is crazy."

"Check your Instagram, when I looked this morning you had 4,000 followers."

I checked and it was up to 5,245 followers. I showed my phone to my dad.

"All we did was sing a few karaoke songs."

"It's the chemistry." Dad said smiling. "The way you two sound together, the way you move and interact with each other, people eat that stuff up."  

 
"So you drove all the way over here to show me a newspaper and tell me that we are blowing up on social media?" 

"No. I think we should do something with this."
