"I'm sure it'll blow over." I say. I put my phone down and look up to see Gab pacing back and forth in her room. "Hey hey hey c'mere," I say as I walk over to her, pulling her into a hug. I see her glossy eyes as a sad expression takes over her face.

"I'm scared." she says quietly. She looks so fragile, unlike before. The Gabbie before was strong and held her head up high. Nothing could take her down; especially not some Twitter hashtag.

"We'll figure it out remember?" I tell her comfortingly. I place my hand on her cheek, but she backs away. "We said that last time..." she responds, her gaze to the floor. "I don't want to keep living like this Jack..."

"I know, neither do I...but I don't have a choice." I don't think I've ever seen her like this. So delicate, as if she could break any minute. 

"Yeah I know, 'cause it comes with your job, which you love. Me on the other hand, I didn't sign up for this. I didn't ask for the followers or my name on the title of almost every tea page out there. I don't want any of it..." The look on her face is saying something...but I don't think I want it to be true. "And...I don't want Lav to grow up with this kind of life. It's not fair for her to live her life with millions of people on about every move she makes..."

"Hey..." I look at her, trying to get direct eye contact. "What are you saying?" 

She looks back down at the floor as she slowly pulls off the promise ring I gave her on our one year anniversary. "I think we just...need to take a break. Rethink our priorities and do what's best for ourselves as individuals." 

"Gab-" I begin, but she stops me.

"Jack it's not-"

"Oh it's not you it's me? I've heard that one before..." This time it's her that takes my hand and looks at me in the eye, tearful. 

"We've changed Jack," she says so softly it turns into a whisper. "We were just two happy teenagers living life how we wanted and had nothing but fun. We were so carefree and didn't care what the world thought of us because we were happy."

"That doesn't have to stop, we can still be like that." I tell her, but she shakes her head no. 

"Don't you get it? All of that stopped the moment I got pregnant and ruined both our reputations." she says, her eyes brimmed with tears. It was at that moment where I knew she broke. 

"Do you really think that?" I ask. I can hear my voice break as I see tears slowly fall onto her jeans.

"Everyone thinks that Jack. Your followers, your managers, my followers...maybe even you." I take both of her hands, making her look at me.
