It doesn’t really matter what they say, after all I and Jake are over, isn’t surprising things like this are popping up right now since his father is on the limelight. I just didn’t think it will have anything to do with me or in the very least affect me.
I scrolled down and I saw related articles and people who I don’t even know defending Emma. They brought out pictures she and Jake had taken the past week as well as some I don’t even recognize.
An article even said I was the one trying to take my sister’s boyfriend and that I was jealous of her. Can you even imagine that ?..
The more I scrolled down the more my facial expression kept changing.
“Let me take a look at that.” I heard Jessica say as she took the phone from me.
“Are these people sick, won’t they confirm a fact before actually believing and judging someone.” Jessica said already fuming with anger.
I kept mute cause at this point I didn’t even know what to say.
She played a video on her phone and immediately I recognized the voice ‘Emma’ it was definitely Emma’s voice.
“I’ve been seeing comments and post pointing to I and my boyfriend Jake McLaren and I have decided to address it.”
I pulled the phone from Jessica ones again as she quickly stood up to stand behind me in order to get a good view of the video.
“I’ll be very honest with you all, Jake was actually dating my sister, however he fell out of love with her. Then I didn’t even know they were both dating. Few months back we started talking and we became really good friends as a matter of fact best of friends. His relationship with my sister was very toxic, ones he had even cried at what she had done. I’m not going to say the details here however it got to a point where he realized it was best he let go. He ended everything with my sister and at that point we became really close and friendship bloomed into love. It was in a family gathering we all got to realize that my sister Nora was in fact the ex girlfriend he has been talking of. However my sister couldn’t take it and wouldn’t stop trying to tear us apart.” She said the last part with fake tears forming in her eyes.
“Just last week here, she had even gone to Jake’s house and tried to seduce a drunk Jake. Luckily I was there in time to intervene and had discovered Jake had thought Nora was I.” She brought a little towel to her face cleaning off a tear that had just dropped.
“Nora is my sister, even thou we don’t have same birth mother she still means very much to me. I can’t let a guy get in-between the both of us, never.. That’s the reason I tend to overlook things she does in hope she’ll understand one day that some things aren’t meant to be.” Tears was pouring uncontrollably down her eyes at this point. Anyone watching this will definitely believe her.
I stared at the screen lost of words to say, cause I really can’t fanthom the whole situation.
She went on saying. “Nora knew how successful the McLaren family is and wants to get in one way or the other, hopefully she’ll realize soon that isn’t possible. I want to apologise to the general public if this might have caused chaos or a misunderstanding at the very least.”
In the background Jake walked in, his hair wet like he just got out of the shower. I had to look at the room closely before realising they were both in Jake’s house.
He went close to her and wrapped his hands around her neck, placing a peck on her cheek.
He raised up his head and looked at her. “Have you been crying ?” He said as he looked up at the phone screen.
“Don’t tell me you’re getting yourself involved in all these online scandal again ?” He looked at her with all the world’s concern in his eyes.
“I had to clear the air babe.” She said smiling back at him.
The lovey dovey action they were both displaying felt like someone had brought out my heart and was presently cutting it in tiny tiny pieces.
Jessica quickly too the phone from me, attempting to type a comment which I knew would be something to defend me. However is unnecessary the masses will still believe her, cause Jake who was supposed to defend me has chosen not to.
I took the phone back from her and she protested immediately “Let me Nora, let me respond to all this motherfuckers who have no dignity left in them.”
“It doesn’t matter what you say Jess, they won’t believe you. Trust me, I know how these people think. So spare yourself the trouble otherwise they’ll come at you.” I said.
“I don’t care if they come at am, she has no right to say such things in public no matter your differences.” She ranted.
“Let it be Jess, however there’s nothing we can do. They’ll forget about it in no time, so relax and don’t stress your head about it.” The pain I feel right now cannot be comprehended, and I want nothing more than to clarify myself. But is only going to escalate the whole thing. I tried to fat k e a smile totally abandoning the food and tried making my way upstairs.
“I never knew your sister was such a good actress, how did she even manage to come up with all of those lies.” Jessica said behind me.
“You’re a kind person Nora, however I’m not. I won’t let Emma get away with this”. She screamed so I could hear her since I was already up the stair.
“Let it be Jess.” I said one last time before closing the door behind me.
Tears ran down my eyes in uncontrollably, I climbed my bed and picked up my phone and went through the comment section.
“Is that not the Grey’s daughter ?” One of the commenters pointed out.
Under her comment people who claim to know us where commenting all manner of nonsense.
One even said I’ve always been jealous of Emma and always tried to be in a competition with her.
I won’t be surprised to know that the people behind those comments are friends of Emma.
I put down my phone and just stared at the ceiling.
The break I had taken from work ended today, which means I’ll have to leave this house and see the faces of everyone tomorrow.
I’m not in the tiniest bit thrilled to return to work however I have to.
My Dad runs a small company and has given me the advertising department to manage after graduation.
My sister works there as well but in a different department. She tries to be everyone’s favorite so I can only imagine my fate when I walk into the company tomorrow.
So many thoughts ran through my head as I lay on the bed, I don’t know how long it was, minutes or maybe hours I can’t really tell. However the darkness finally came and I let it take me to the dream land.
In my dream that night I saw myself happy, and it made me wish it was reality.
