 "Faith... I-" I didn't know what to tell Faith, to be honest. 

 Ryan chimed in, conveniently saving me, "It's only the best for you. Trust me, if he didn't say you were his girlfriend, your life would be shit by now."

 "If you guys told us you were celebrities in the first place, this wouldn't happen at all!" Tamara yelled, her voice cutting through the air. 

 "If you want to live your life with people around you, telling you what a whore you are, then feel free to say you're not my girlfriend anymore," I said, hiding my hurt that she didn't want to be my girlfriend. 

 This is just a stupid crush. I can get over it, I'm Axel Adderly.

 "You're such an asshole!" Faith shouted, trying not to cry. "All I wanted from this trip was to have fun and maybe find my biological parents on the way. Every time I try to be happy, someone ruins it for me!" she continued, tears falling down her face.

 "Are you done being dramatic? We're going to be meeting my parents now. I don't want any stupid tantrums. You are my 'girlfriend' now, after all. You gotta act professionally and most importantly, don't embarrass me."

 "Axel!" Ryan yelled, glaring at me, then turning to Faith. "Faith, don't listen to Axel, he's just being an asshole. Let me explain first. No one knows who our parents and siblings are since they didn't want to be in the spotlight. Our fathers were successful businessmen, but we took over their businesses. They were never seen by our fans or business partners." He took a deep breath, running his hands through his hair and continued, "You guys are going to meet them though, but if anyone ever  finds out who they are, you are dead."

Ryan said firmly, surprising us. "Whatever," Tamara spoke while rolling her eyes.

 What an arrogant asshole Axel is. Like, who the fuck said I wanted to meet his parents just because I was allegedly his girlfriend now? Doesn't he consider my thoughts too? 

 Ugh, he just thinks that all the girls are willing to throw themselves at his feet and beg him for his love. He's just a brat, a jerk and did I mention, an asshole.

 Frankly, I really just want to have a simple life, which doesn't include being a rapper's fake girlfriend. I know I am stuck with him for now, but if he ever dares to lay a finger on me, I promise I will kill him. 

 As reality settled, tears started to form in my eyes. Oh, mom. Where are you when I need you?
