Define love. || Young Leonardo Dicaprio

Chapter 29

McKennas POV

"Paul....hello" I said waving my hands in front of his face

"Paul's what's up" Leo chuckled finding it amusing that Paul was just not acting himself

"Not here... let's go"

"Ok..."

We ended up in my room. Leo and I just seated on the couch as Paul paced back and forth before us

"Sooo?" Leo said breaking the tension

"So I was strolling through town right... have you guys checked your phones yet?" Leo shook his head

"Nope haven't really thought about using my phone yet" I say slowly still suspicious of what Paul had to say

"Don't freak out but"

"You're doing all the freaking out if anything, just spit it out man" Leo said clearly impatient

"Ok so I came across a magazine on display on the streets. Theres a few of them actually... here just see for yourself" he handed Leo a magazine. I watched as he his eyes widened and his jaw clenched

"What is it Leo?" I leaned over him trying to see the cover. He just loosened his grip in defeat then slammed his hands on the lounge before getting up

"90s heartthrob seen with party reveller: has he chosen the wrong girl?" I read the title. And scanned the pictures the paparazzi that seemed to have taken just last night. I read the page number for the article and flicked straight to the page

"What?!... heart throb Leonardo DiCaprio seen hitting Mexicos hottest clubs with upcoming actress McKenna Rae Roberts. The two were seen canoodling at The Palms on Friday evening as they partied with fellow cast members" I read the first part of the article. I scanned through the pictures seeing images of me and Leo in the clubs kissing and hugging, another where he had his arm around me blocking me from the paparazzi, one where he piggy backed me to the hotel. But the last one really got to me. The last picture was of me back at the frat party. I think we all know which one by now. My eyes started to well up with tears. Why me? Why now? I looked at Paul who was biting his nails anxiously and Leo pacing back and forth but stopped as soon as he saw my face. He walked up to me

"I'm so sorry Kenna I didn't think it'd be out in the open within a matter of hours, they just don't leave me alone" he forcefully let out, his jaw still clenched with frustration. I'm speechless.

"Kenna I promise you that I'll fix this" Leo continued

"I don't care about those pictures Leo" he frowned as he looked at the page with the photo of me standing on the keg, half naked must I add

"I-I'll figure something out"

"B-but you can't the pictures are out Leo, people would have shared it around by now" he shook his head, he was determined

"I will make this better, ok" I nodded my head unconvincingly

"Look Kenna, ignore all of that crap, they don't know you, they're just people out there to ruin you" I looked up at Paul as he sent me a sympathetic look

"They want to ruin me because i stole their "heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio" I don't get it we were seen together once. The first time we actually did anything" I mumbled

"I'll leave you too to it" Paul nodded then walked out

I just sat there hugging my legs. One night where I finally showed any affection towards Leo. Just one night. Now there were dozens of articles about us. Mainly just me being a "bad influence" and that he's made a mistake. He didn't deserve me I was wrong for thinking this would even work out.
