imagine timmy dumping you

ugly leech

stay away from Timothée

Lily Rose is so much better than you

—————

I bite my lip to try and prevent myself from crying in public as I read the comments on my instagram.

Suddenly I'm the most hated person on the face of the earth, all because I got cheated on.

Everyone just kind of knows that Timmy and I are no longer together at this point. Nothing has been said or confirmed publicly by either of us but I guess people just put the pieces together.

I take another bite of my salad as I continue to scroll through the hurtful comments.

"You shouldn't read those things" a voice speaks from behind me, causing me to turn my head.

Gunnar

I smile at him as he walks around to the other side of the table I was seated at. "May I?" He asks, indicating to the chair.

I nod my head as I place my phone on the table. "Of course"

He takes a seat as I take the final bite of my salad. "So what even happened with your hot shot boyfriend?" He asks catching me off guard.

"He cheated on me" I frown looking at my empty bowl. "And he's not a hot shot. He's a good person"

"A good person who cheats?" He asks with a raised eyebrow.

I shake my head. "It's complicated"

"You never reached out since the last time you were here" he says, changing the clearly touchy subject.

I furrow my eyebrows and look up to meet his gaze. "You said you would reach out to me" I defend with a laugh.

"Did I?" He laughs along.

I can practically feel my heart shatter as I read through the comments on Adeline's Instagram picture.

She looks absolutely stunning but everyone in the comments is focused on bringing her down. The worst part is that I know she sees the things being said about her and I know she takes them to heart.

I consider texting her and apologizing but I decide against it. It's not like she would answer anyways.

I was finally beginning feel better about myself until I saw her last week at the cookie shop. She looked so tired and sad. Her once bright eyes were dull and droopy. Her skin was almost colorless. She looked like she hadn't slept or eaten in months.

No matter how many movies I film or interviews I take part in, my mind always drifts back to her. There isn't an hour where I don't think about her. I wish I could go back in time and change every stupid mistake I made.

After I told Adeline about my unfaithfulness, I called Lily and told her to stay out of my life. She surprisingly has kept quite since then. No word to me or the media.

I had to practically beg Armie to talk to me after I told him what happened. But he eased up a bit and tried to support me, despite his anger. Elizabeth on the other hand, hasn't eased up and understandably, wants to kill me.

I've tried to keep to myself and focus on my career and my upcoming movies but my mind is constantly wondering back to Adeline.

"And then right as we were about to climb the ladder the cops showed" Gunnar laughed out, along with me as I nod my head.

"Yes and we ran away so fast" I sigh as I remember the days of high school.

Gunnar and I are still sat in the small cafe where I got my lunch. We've spent the last few hours talking about our adventures in school and how we raised hell for 4 years straight.

Our laughter settles down as the waitress brings us our 7th pitcher of water.

"I should get going, my mom is going to worry" I half smile at him as he nods his head.

I leave a 20 dollar bill on the table and collect my things. Gunnar stands up with me and takes me into his embrace.

"It was so nice seeing you again" he mumbles into my hair. "There's a party tonight, you should come"

I shake my head as we pull away. "I don't know if that's my scene anymore" I try to excuse myself from the invite.

"Oh come on, for old times sake" he pleads.

I sigh in defeat earning a grin to spread across his face. "Fine" I shrug. "Just text me the address"

ADELINEHAYES- INSTAGRAM STORY

I drunkenly laugh at the picture of Gunnar that I posted on my story as the loud music playing fills my ears.

I take another hit of the blunt in my hand and follow it with another swig of alcohol as Gunnar walks up and wraps his arm around my waist.

"What are you laughing at?" He smirks at me as he finishes his beer.

"You" I giggle in a way that I would cringe at if I were sober.

"You're too much" he laughs as he pulls my body completely in front of his.

He wraps his arms all the way around my waist as I look up at him. I don't have to tilt my head nearly as much as I had to when I would look at Timmy.

I slowly notice Gunnar leaning in closer to my face as I feel myself do the same. Before my thoughts could process he closes the gap between us as our lips press against each other.
