Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 22 - Unsure

It's been a couple days, and I've locked myself away in my own fuming anger and humiliation. I haven't answered anyone's calls, and the only person I've talked to is Barbara.

I haven't eaten anything today and it's 7pm. I'm still in the hotel, loathing my entire life. My phone is on silent, and I have 10 missed calls from Jack J, a couple from Cam and Nash, 12 from Jack, 4 from Julia, and 2 from Madison. Not to mention my 143 texts. I think they've filed a missing persons report, but who gives a shit? I wish I was missing.

I heard a knock on the door. I hid under the covers pretending I didn't hear, but the knocking didn't stop. I slowly stood up and walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. It's Barbara. I opened the door and ran back to the bed.

"Paige. You need to get up, I'm not kidding. You can't stay in here for the rest of your life."

"Don't be so cliche." I said.

"Okay. Paige. You need to get up and go somewhere or do something because 2 pictures shouldn't have the ability to ruin your life."

"They do when it's a picture of my 18 year old boyfriend making out with a 15 year old while he's still in a relationship with me." I began to cry again.

"Here." She grabbed the bag from her arm and handed it to me. I opened it up. Inside, was a long, tan, loose shirt with skinny jeans and a dark brown cardigan and necklace to match. Brown boots were at the very bottom.

"I went out and bought you a super cute outfit and I think I deserve a lunch date, and you deserve a break from that bed.

I smiled at her before giving her a hug. "Thanks Barb. I guess I'll get ready."

"I'll be back in 40 minutes. I need to run something to Don, when I come back I'm expecting to see the super cute Paige that I'm used to." She patted my shoulder and stood up. Before she left, I thanked her again.

After showering, I did my hair and makeup and put the outfit on. Barbara knows perfectly well what size I wear since we do campaigns and shows together all the time.

I look fine, but my heart was still aching. I had a headache as well, and I didn't even want to eat. I wanted to shave Jack's eyebrows off and rip Madison's hair out. But that's something I kept to myself at all times. I don't think me and Jack are even together anymore. I've convinced myself that he thinks we are, but we're not. I think to break up with someone, they have to hear it. Jack just hasn't heard me say those two words. We're over.

I took a look at my phone and saw that Justin was calling. I guess there's nothing wrong with answering him.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"I'm just in a hotel.." I fumbled with my necklace.

"In a hotel? Why?"

I guess I'll just spill to him. "Jack kissed Madison because he thought I did something with you when you took me to Za's party. There's pictures all over Twitter. I've been in this room for days."

"Like, Madison Beer? What the hell? I didn't think she'd ever be one to do shit like that. Can I come see you?"

"Barbara is taking me to lunch soon, but yeah come by. I'd like that."

"Which hotel?"

"Garden Foya, room 23 on the second floor."

"Okay, I'm coming."

"Thanks." I smiled.

"Nooo problem. See ya."

"See ya."
