D/A - I'm thinking there's going to be at least 5 more chapters left of this story. Any suggestions on making it longer?
Chapter 15 - Fake breakup, real pain
Nina's POV
The days passed in a blur, until it came to the day of the great fake breakup. It was a warm Saturday morning and since the fashion show is tomorrow, me, Jenna and Aaron were at Gucci's runway. We were having final dress fittings and runway practises. Let me tell you, being under bright lights, dressing again and again, having make up removed and put on is a LOT of hard work. After 2 whole hours of torture, I left to get a Late from the coffee shop across the street. I walked in only to find Fabian and Joy sitting at one of the tables. I put on dark shades and walked to the front of the queue and nodded at the cashier. He nodded back and soon came back with my Late with foam. I paid and walked out the door, only to find Joy shouting 'Yasmin!' I turned on my heel, seeing Joy literally drag Fabian up to me.
"Can we have your autograph?" she pleaded. I sighed and gave in. They were my friends after all.
"Thanks! OMG Amber is going to be so jealous!" Joy screamed, fading into the distance. I let my shoulders relax from there tense position and saw a crowd around a couple. I pushed my way to the front thinking it was probably Jabian. That's when my Late fell and exploded while my mouth dropped open. This was NOT the plan. My Best American Friend is kissing-more like eating-my fake boyfriends face! I stood there for a few more seconds, seeing if they noticed me. They didn't. I coughed loudly until they broke apart and saw me.
"Yasmin! Um... How's the Late?" Jenna asked. I gave her a death glare.
"I wouldn't know, I had a distraction on my mind" I sneered back at her. Aaron was hanging his head, probably hiding his guilty face. This was not according to plan. The plan was for us to get into a fight and him to break up with me. I guess the tables have turned. I stormed over to Aaron, lifted his chin up and smacked his cheek as hard as I could. I saw the pain in his eyes but it was nothing compared to what I felt.
"We are done" I said, putting so much hate and venom into those three words and trod back to Anubis, leaving the words lingering in the air. So much for the plan working.
When I arrived at Anubis, everyone was out. I walked up to the Attic and my eyes burst. How could she? She knew that I had tiny feelings for him, him kissing her showed how much I cared. I guess I did love him. But does he love me? I sat there for so long, I didn't notice Amber walk through the door and sit next to me, rubbing my back.
"Nina, what's wrong?" She asked sympathetically.
"Boy, troubles" I murmured, but she heard anyway. I didn't want to talk about it and I guess she knew because she didn't ask me anything else. After a long silence she told me dinner was ready. I told her to go on without me so I could clean up. Amber nodded and walked out. I shortly followed and headed to the bathroom. Cleaning my blotchy eyes, I gave a small smile. I finally realised my feelings. No wonder it hurts so much.
When I arrived in the room, everyone stared at me. I guess I looked bad. Without talking I sat down in my seat. The bad thing was that I was in between Eddie and Jen. During dinner they kept trying to slip me notes, but after looking at a few, I stopped reading them completely.
Nina, that was the plan Jen told me about. It was fake so why are you crying?
Nini, I'm sorry. I just got caught up in the moment. I thought I had a crush on him. I was wrong, it felt like kissing my own brother.
"Then you wouldn't have done it then! It lasted for ages Jen! Don't talk to me unless you have to." I shouted pointing at Eddie and Jen. I ran out of the dining room, feeling the house's stare on my back. I feel weak and depressed. Heart break gets to you huh.
