fake relationship🤭

~33~

Gabe looks at me as we finish ordering at our table.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Are you sure? She's going to try and ruin your life."

"Gabe, she's pathetic. She can tell the whole world for all I care."

"If you're sure, Jess."

I nod and push Gabe's phone towards him.

"If you're really not in love with her." I say.

He looks at me, confused.

"Ring her. Tell her you don't want her. Unless you truly do like her."

"Jess, now?"

I nod.

Gabe sighs but quickly unlocks his phone, his finger hesitantly hanging over the call button.

He gives me one last look before dialling her number. She picks up almost instantly.

"Gabe? Hey!" Her voice sounds.

"Look, Molly. I need to say something and I want you to respect it."

"Ok?"

"I don't love you, I never have. I don't want to be in this weird relationship with you anymore. I care way more about Jess and to be honest, you really aren't a nice person. I want to break up."

Molly laughs from the other side of the phone.

"Oh, wow. Well I'm sure Jess is going to love you for this. Watch your back."

"Do what you want, Molly."

"Oh, I will. Tell Jess that she better look out because her whole past is about to come up and swallow her whole."

And with that the line goes dead.

I look at Gabe, his eyes slightly laced with worry.

"Gabe, stop panicking." I say softly.

"I've probably just ruined your life."

"You've done that a couple of times." I laugh.

He smirks at me, grabbing my hand from across the table.

"Whatever she throws at you, I'll be here."

"Promise? Because last time you said that you ended up back in her arms."

"I promise. I'm with you."
