Wrong Number

Chapter 29 - What to do next

Lizzie's POV:

I arrived hours ago. I have been laying on my bed, not having any idea on what to do after I saw what was happening on the internet.

Yes, I was determined on what I was going to do. I was going to break up with Boyd and maybe ask Y/n to come to LA with me, stay with her for a couple of weeks to get to know each other more than we already do, and maybe in the future ask her to be my girlfriend. But thinking about it now, I was determined on that because I wasn't even thinking about my job or the real world. For some reason Y/n made me forget about it, and all my real problems.

What is happening right now scared the shit out of me, and now I have no idea of what to do next.

People are saying a lot of things about me. A lot of people thinks I cheated, others find it upsetting that it was with a woman. Theres things that I know I shouldn't be caring about, because I know they're not true, but most of them still got me. It even made me realize that my mom was kind of right.

I got 2 messages from Y/n, but I haven't been able to see them of how scared I feel. Im scared that she wouldn't want to be with me after this. It's an invasion of privacy, something I have to deal with every day, and I don't know if she'll be able to.

While I was laying on my bed, my phone started ringing again. It was a message, and I felt like it was going to be Y/n, so I didn't want to answer it. After a couple of minutes, someone called. This time I got up and picked up my phone. It was my mom. I didn't want to answer because I knew what she was going to say, but she didn't just call once, and it was annoying me, so I finally answered.

——————————————————

Lizzie: "I know what you're going to say, you were right." I say right away.

"Yes I was, Elizabeth. Im your mother, I always am. And since I know you learned your lesson, I need you to do what I tell you if you don't want to loose your career."

Lizzie: "But mom-"

"But Nothing. You told me that the girl was just a friend. But I know when you lie, and not only I know thats not just a normal friend, but now the whole world does. Now because of her, you're at the edge of loosing your job."

Lizzie: "It wasn't because of her, mom. It was my fault."

"Oh come on, Elizabeth. Don't act like she's not the one putting stuff in your head about you guys... being, together."She says, which I could tell she sounded disgusted just thinking about it. "You have a husband, who is a man, who you have to be there with."

Lizzie: "Well it's not like that. I want to be with-"

"Boyd." She quickly cuts me off. "You want to be with Boyd. So I don't want you to see that girl anymore. I want you to be a wife to the only man that you love. Have kids and a normal family."

Lizzie: "But that's not what I want- I don't even love Boyd. I don't want to be the wife and have a family with someone that I don't have feelings for."

"When you marry him the feelings will come back. He's a nice man, and you don't want to loose him."

Lizzie: "A nice man?! He cheated on me!"

"That's because you didn't give him the attention he deserved."

Lizzie: "Attention?- He also told me to quit my job, mom. It's not just that- there's a lot of things!"

"Well..." She stops for a second, "Maybe if you did then he'll be happier." and says.

Lizzie: "You're fucking kidding- you're the one who's telling me all this shit to keep my career, and just because he wants me to quit you'll let me? You're not even thinking about MY happiness."
