The Secret I Wished To Keep//FOAH (DISCONTINUED)

Fake news

Noah sat in his room, looking at his computer. As he saw what was on the screen, he cried, not believing what he was seeing. He walked over to his bedroom balcony, standing dangerously close to the edge. As he looked at the view he had, Millie ran over to him.

"NOAH! Get away from the edge!" Millie said, stopping Noah from making any sudden movements. She took him over to the bed and locked the balcony doors.

"Why the heck were you so close to the edge?" Millie asked.

"People believe what she posted..." Noah said, barely making eye contact.

"Believe what who posted?" Millie asked.

Noah pointed to his computer. Millie walked over to his laptop and opened the screen. The first line made her whole body shiver.

Is Noah Schnapp to blame for his sister Chloe's death?

Millie was utterly disgusted.

"It's by Eliza Spinelli. Of course..." Millie said.

"Read what she posted..." Noah said, continually looking at the view.

What is public knowledge, Chloe Schnapp, sister of famous Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp, was shot and killed during a hostage situation. When police arrived, the criminal was no-where to be seen and barely any witnesses were around to give a statement. Noah's mother Karine refused to give a statement, as seen by the police as unstable and traumatized. Fans and other members of the public believe that there was no hostage situation and Noah for one reason or another, killed his own sister. People believed that Chloe was slowly gaining a fan base and Noah wasn't happy about it. Further information about Chloe's death is yet to be revealed but stay tuned for the latest information.

-Eliza Spinelli.

Millie shut Noah's computer in rage.

"It's not true Noah. Don't believe what Spinelli said. She twists stories and people's words to fit her own wicked theory. She's just a fake news source! I'm sure no one really believes what she's saying! People have debunked her stories before!" Millie said, trying desperately to cheer Noah up.

"I can't just ignore it Millie! People will start asking questions...and demanding to know the truth. I-I mean...what if Matt and Ross find out?! I could be kicked off Stranger Things and my career would be over!" Noah said, still freaking out.

"Matt and Ross can't kick you off the show since your one of the main reasons why it's so popular and besides...they knew how close you and Chloe were! They know that you wouldn't hurt anybody...let alone your own sister! You need to relax Noah..." Millie said, placing her hand on Noah's shoulder.

"It'll be old 'news' by tomorrow..." Millie said, reassuring Noah.
------
24 hours had passed and what Millie said wasn't true. He had received thousands of messages and calls, insulting him and attacking him because they all believed what Spinelli said. Noah didn't bother going into work, seeing as if he was seen in public, people would start attacking him and having a go at him.

Why would Spinelli spread a lie like this? Was someone trying to sink his career? Who would do that...and why? Noah thought as he hopped into the shower.

As he went back to Instagram, people started making reaction videos to Spinelli's article. I couldn't believe that people were already making reaction videos about the fake news that Spinelli released. Finn and a few of his friends had visited, but none of them stayed around long enough, except Finn. He had been supporting Noah since the post was released, but he hadn't left, feeling that Noah needed the help.

Noah had been crying for almost 3 hours straight by the time the rest of the party had gone home.

"Noah...are you ok?" Sadie asked, walking to Noah's bed, carrying some items in her hand. She placed some tissues, a tea, some movies and some chocolate next to him on the bedside. He was like her gay best friend...even though he wasn't gay according to Sadie.

Noah took some of the tissues from the box and blew his nose.

"Hey Sadie..." Noah said, his nose being all clogged up. Sadie sat beside him, rubbing his back as he cried some more, not knowing how to handle what he was going through.
