In the dark

0.4 figuring it out

Nadine's pov:

I was fuming right now.

After the twitter war I just had with Nate, I actually felt like punching a wall right now.

"I mean who does he think he is to tell ME to lose weight!! Has he even look at himself in the mirror before. He looks like a walking teenage Justin beiber!! And I do not mean that as a compliment!! Ugh I am so mad right now I could actually throw my phone on the wall!!!" I ranted chewing down on my pizza rather aggressively.

"Jeez what did that phone ever do to you, calm down nads" vivvy said putting the movie we were watching on pause.

"Calm down?! CALM DOWN!! How the fuck do you expect me to calm down after that boy basically body shamed me on the Internet!!! And you know what's going to happen, he's going to get away with it  wanna know why? Because he's a guy!! All the girls die for him! They'll all defend him and I'm going to be the bad guy!!" I said, almost shouting with rage.

Vivvy's eyes soften after listening to my rant.

"Listen Nadine, look at me. I promise you that's not going to happen. He's a fucking asshole. Do not waist your tears or anger on the stupid douche who doesn't even deserve it." She said rather calmly than I had expected her too.

I calmed down a little bit after hearing her comforting words.

"Yeah, you're right." I said sighing and fiddling with the piece of pizza I was eating.

"Okay so here's what we're going to do. We're gonna go meet Elle tomorrow, tell her about all of this, although I think she might know already know about it. But we will clear it out okay? Don't worry." She said giving me hand a comforting squeeze.

I smiled at her and said, "thanks vivvy, you're the best!!"

"Ya I know." She said shrugging and giving me a playful smirk.

"Now let me watch the movie!" She said laughing and turning the movie back on.

Just forget about it. It'll all be alright. No need to worry nadine, vivvy said it'll all be fine and it will be. Nobody's going to make you the bad person because you're not.

I kept saying this to myself again and again trying to calm myself down and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep on vivvy's shoulder

                                          —————-

As I moved my legs up and down nervously waiting for Elle to arrive at her office,  I couldn't help but feel anxiety flow through my body.

Then I finally hear the door opened and it was none other than Elle looking elegant as she always does.

"Good morning girls how are you today" Elle said giving both of our foreheads a kiss and sitting down on her chair.

"'Morning Elle we're doing well." Vivvy said.

"Sooo, I read the tweets last night." Elle said raising her eyebrows at me.

I groaned covering my face with both of my hands.

"She's obviously not going to tell you what happened so I will. Basically Nate Ryan wrote an insulting tweet to nadine. Of course Nadine being Nadine decided to reply back which, I thought was the right thing to do. So basically they went back and fourth writing comeback to one another's tweets. Now the issue is that Nadine is nervous that all of Nate's fans are going to turn against her and make HER the bad person when she's obviously not." Vivvy said finishing the story.

"Hmm I see" Elle said putting her chin on the palms of her hands and looking at me to say something.

"What do you think we should do?" I asked, finally speaking up.

"Well, what you're worrying about right now can very well happen and I'm sure will happen, which is sick by the way. I mean he'll obviously get away with it but you'll be stuck. Anyways, moving on, right now we only have one option left and I don't think you'll be willing to do it." She said putting on her glasses and going through some of her file.

"It's okay I'll do it if it means getting out of this situation." I said almost immediately as I heard her say that this problem could be solved.

She removed her glasses and looked straight at me and said, "write a song with Nate Ryan."

I raised my eyebrows at her, wondering if heard het correct.

"I-I-'m sorry wh-what?" I said stuttering a bit.

"Do a collab with Nate Ryan. It will not only be a good for your career but making a song will have people taking about the song and not the tweets. And maybe in the future we can also make him apologise for the tweets." She said almost shrugging.

"That's a great idea Nads you have to do it it's the only option we have because we all know he won't apologise unless it has his benefit in it somehow." Vivvy said looking at me.

Both of their eyes were at me trying to read my thoughts and what my answer would be and well right now, my thoughts were everywhere.

I can't do this, I cant even stand him through a screen how am I going to stand to be in the same room as him AND right a whole freaking song with him!!

But this was the only option I had. If I wanted to save my reputation, then I had to do it, even if it was going to be torture.

"Fine I'll do it!" I said sighing and messing my hair a bit, which I mostly did when I was either nervous or awkward.

"Yessss." I heard Vivvy whisper.

"Very well then. I'll set up a meeting. Does Wednesday work for you?" Elle asked me and I nodded.

"Well now I think my work here is over! Now you go home and don't worry about this too much it will all be alright okay? Trust me." Elle said with a promising voice.

"Okay. Thank you so much Elle we'll head out now bye love you!!" We both said giving her a kiss on the cheek and heading out.

Hopefully it works out.
