Love at first Tiktok

Chapter 35

                                  
Emery

It had been a few months since my mum had filed for a divorce with my dad. I'm not going to lie. I was devastated that my dad was cheating on my mother. I mean who wouldn't be? But my mum can move on now and find someone that cares for her. More than my dad ever did anyway.

I was heading out of the bathroom, relishing in the feeling of being clean. I strolled into my bedroom and opened my dresser. I picked out some denim shorts that I felt comfortable in. They were black and didn't have any design on them. Just plain and simple. I chose to wear a grey top which I tucked into my shorts. The top had the letters of the brand which was Saint Laurent. The T-shirt was white with the letters in black.

I heard a knock at my bedroom door as I was brushing through my wet hair. "Come in!" I said absentmindedly, focusing on plugging the hairdryer into the plug socket right by my mirror.

Ida and Lily strolled into my room with looks of worry on their faces. "Guys what's the problem?" I said as I saw their faces in the mirror.

"we just wanted to come and check to see if you were okay, I mean it must break your heart to see something like that" lily said to me, sorrow laced in her tone.

"What's happened guys? I'm fine." I replied. Confusion overtaking.
Ida and Lily sat on my bed and patted it to signal me to go over there too. I did as they said. "Pass me your phone". I passed my phone to Ida, still not knowing what's going on. To be honest I hadn't checked my phone all day. She scoffed "of course he's been doing this" as she scrolled through my notifications. I looked over to see what she was looking at.

Mattia:
Please pick up the phone

Mattia:
I can explain!

Mattia:
No please don't ignore me,
I didn't even know what was
happening! :(

20+ more notifications.

I was so confused. What has happened?

Ida passed me my phone to unlock it and I handed it back to her. She went onto Instagram and searched 'tiktokroom' oh dear god it can't be good. What's happened?

She gave me the phone and pointed at the string of posts and said to read and watch through them all.

The first post

'Mattia Polibio spotted at a house party👀'

The video went played and it was someone's Snapchat story. Mattia was....he was chatting with a girl. I mean it can't be all bad right. although they looked very close and it made my stomach churn at the sight.

That's all the video conveyed, I scrolled up to see the next post.

'Mattia Polibio seen possibly cheating on current girlfriend, Emery West👀.'

My heart sank at the caption, this time it was a picture. It was from the same persons Snapchat story again....Mattia was in the back, the girl was sat on his lap and their faces inches apart.

I tried my best to keep my head held high. It can't be too bad right? Their must be an explanation. Right?

I scrolled up again.
I didn't even bother to look at the caption. I still had hope that it wasn't as bad as people were saying.

This time it was a video. An Instagram story this time. The camera panned around a room and then stopped to record a person who I'm guessing is their friend dancing. But the heart breaking part about it?

Mattia and this unknown girl were making out. He was kinda just sitting there letting her take the lead. I can't believe this.

This can't be happening. No it can't be.

"I think I just want to be left alone guys...." I said, in a small voice. I felt so vulnerable

This must be some sort of messed up dream. Right? Mattia wouldn't do that to me.
My gut told me he wouldn't. Not intentionally. That isn't the Mattia I know. I watched the video again. Mattia was hardly even moving.
I then remember his text.
'I didn't even know what was happening.'

I had an idea of what had happened. I just needed to talk to Mattia. I need to know if my suspicion is correct.

Hey guys! I can't remember the last time I updated but I was looking over this book that has sat idle on my profile for 2 years and saw I had written another chapter, I'm posting it for any readers who still have my book in their library's. Enjoy!
