Chapter 36

For a whole week I was able to just sleep my life away in my room. And when anyone asked, I told them I just didn't feel good. I didn't say a thing about Romeo being a cheater.


There was a knock on my door. Then someone entered.


I had no interest to look up/open my eyes so I just layed there with my eyes shut.


Then my curtains opened.


"Wake up darling, it's your last photo shoot today!" I heard the person say.


It was Victoria.


I almost forgot about my photo shoot today.


I was so not ready to get out of my bed and face the day... But I had too... For Victoria.


The light coming into my room was so bright. I squinted my eyes at the bright light.


Victoria walked out.


I buried my head in my pillow to shield me from the light.


"Get up!" I heard someone say, as they hit me with a pillow.


It was Hadley.


"People left me alone for the other 6 days, why can't they leave me alone today?" I said, irritated.


"I brought coffee." She said as she sat at the end of my bed.


"Thanks." I said as I sat up.


I squinted at the light.


"What happened to you, phoebe?" Hadley asked, she was concerned.


"Romeo." I whispered.


"Did he break your heart?" Hadley asked.


"I just don't want to talk about it." I said, looking out the window. Avoiding eye contact.


"He did, didn't he?" She said, she started to get angry.


I shook my head.


She was still angry.


"Don't be angry." I whispered.


"Oh sweetie, I'm not mad. I'm here for you." She said as she hugged me.


She hugged me.


"I thought he loved me." I said, with my head in my knees.


"I thought he did too." She said. "Wait. I didn't mean it like that."


I laughed.


"It's fine." I said.


"Okay now seriously. Have you showered?" She said.


I laughed.


I got up, got new clothes to wear to my photo-shoot and took my hair out of the messy bun it has been in for 6 days.


"You can go get some snacks from downstairs, while I shower." I said.


"I will!" She said as she stood up.


I went into my bathroom and showered. Then I got out and changed.


I went downstairs and saw Romeo.


"Hey." He said.


I just walked right past him.


"So your not going to talk to me?" He asked.


I turned around.


"Why don't you go talk to your girlfriend?" I snapped at him.


"Because I don't have one." He said.


"Really? Because Valerie was pretty sure you two were official." I said.


"She's also like crazy." He said.


"And she's also like your girlfriend." I said, turning back around.


I walked to Hadley who was in the kitchen talking to Victoria.


"Sorry to interrupt." I said, sitting down next to Hadley.


"You're not!" Victoria said, smiling at me.


My phone got a text.


"Come to the football field."


It was from Brooklyn.


"K." I responded.


I looked up at Victoria and Hadley.


"I have to go to the bathroom." I said, standing up.


I walked out of the house to the soccer field.


"What are you both doing here?" I asked.
