Living The Dream

Trouble

Brigid's POV:

I am so excited for today! Today was the first day back at school, which is kinda dumb because its friday, so I guess that isn't so fantastic. But besides that, today is gonna be great! After school Rebecca and I are going home to get ready for our movie date with Niall and Harry. Were going to watch This Is Us with them, haha I know right.

When we got to school all eyes were on us, as usual, but today it was different.

"Whats with everybody?" Rebecca asked me as we made our way toward Alannah and Alex.

"I don't know. Let's ask them." I gestured towards the two girls.

"Whats going on? Why is everybody acting so weird?" I asked.

"You don't know?!" Alex said. We shook our heads.

"Apparently, the night you guys were at the concert, someone heard someone saying something about Rebecca cutting and well, someone recorded it and posted it online and it went viral." I gasped.

Rebecca's POV:

"No no no no no no no! This can't be happening! Everyone knows! Fuck!" I screamed.

"Rebecca its okay, just go call Harry." Brigid said. I nodded and went to the bathroom and dialed the number.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Harry do you know that everyone in the fucking world knows about me cutting?!" I half whispered half yelled into the phone.

"What?! Are you serious?"

"Would I really be lying Harold?" I heard him chuckle. "Not the perfect time to be laughing right now!"

"Alright I will take care of it, but right now you have to go to class! I love you babe, see you later."

"Okay, love you to." I hung up.

****************************

Today was going by so damn slow. It was only lunch, ugg. Brigid and I made our way over to our table with Alannah and Alex. I haven't really talked at all today, I just got sad looks from everybody.

We sat down and a conversation immediately started.

"So girls how are things with the new boyfriends?" Brigid cooed.

"AMAZING" They said at the same time.

"Well I hope he doesn't hit you." I whispered to myself but Brigid must've heard it cause she elbowed me in the side. The rest of lunch was exactly like that too.

***********************

Finally the day was over and we were home. My mood had definitely improved from earlier and I was very happy about that. Ethan and Jack aren't going to be here tonight because they were like going over to Beth's for a party or something.

I went upstairs to get dressed knowing Brigid won't be here for a good twenty seconds, DING DONG! I guess we don't do our secret knock anymore. I opened the door to see Brigid in her really cute outfit.

"Help me make popcorn! Ethan won't let me use the microwave anymore!" Brigid laughed.

"Alright, how come he doesn't again?" She asked. She knows the story why is she doing this to me?

"I was making popcorn and it set on fire because I poured a bunch of butter on the bag because I thought it would make it more buttery." I said. Brigid fell on the floor laughing. "Shut up!" I yelled at her.

"Woah woah! Whats all the yelling about?" We hadn't noticed the boys had let themselves in.

"Tell you later" I said and kissed Harry. But of course! Niall and Brigid were trying to swallow each other again!

"Aye! Break it up would you!" Harry yelled and the separated.

We watched the movie and it was hilarious because we were fangirling the whole time and Niall and Harry were just looking ashamed of themselves.

When the movie had ended I began scrolling through twitter. Most of the fans were being nice to me, telling me that I am beautiful and that I need to stop cutting. I was rally happy to see that.

I made my way over to Harry who was talking to Niall. I sat on his lap.

"Hi" He said.

"Thank you." I whispered in his ear.

"I told you I would take care of it." I smiled and he returned the favor with his cute little dimples.

We turned around to see it again, Niall and Brigid sucking faces.

"Maybe we should be more like them." Harry whispered in my ear.

"You're an asshole."

"Love you too!" I couldn't help but laugh and oull him into a slow, passionate kiss.
