SHATTERED

alex

two days after i stayed over at saylor's and then bought her breakfast, the band is in the practice building. we've been practicing for a while, and now we're just sitting around. i'm on my phone, jessie and saylor are talking to each other, and miguel is still playing his bass.

i scrolled through instagram. i was looking at fan-pages, and i was liking some of their posts. one of the captions made my brows furrow.

hold on...

i went to the app-store, and i downloaded the app. once it downloaded, i made an account with a random username. i then went to the search bar and...

there's no fucking way.

"uh," i spoke up as i looked at the other three. "so... there's fanfics about us now?"

"you mean on wattpad and shit?" miguel asked as he made a face.

"yeah... there's, like... a lot."

"when the fuck did this happen?" jessie's eyes widened.

"i completely forgot that app existed," saylor snickered.

i looked back down at my phone, and i scrolled through the books. "it seems to be just a lot of 'x reader' books... oh, 'alex x saylor," i cringed at the idea of it. "okay."

"isn't that just reality?" jessie teased.

"for the last time, we're not together!" i threw a hand up.

miguel looked towards saylor. "i don't believe them... saylor?"

saylor briefly glanced at me, then let out a small laugh. "hate to break it to y'all, but we're not. me and alex are just friends."

who kiss a lot, but that's none of their business.

they both groaned in defeat.

i looked back to my phone, and i continued to scroll. "oh, jessie, you'll love this. somebody wrote a fanfic about you and billie eilish," i told her. i clicked on the person's profile. "oh, wait, they wrote six fanfics about you and billie eilish... and an imagines book. wow, okay, excessive much?"

"what the fuck?" they let out a small laugh.

only a few seconds had passed before my phone vibrated with a message. my brows knitted together as i saw that it was jess who had texted me.

send me the link to them???

.

"ayo?!" i nearly shouted as i looked at jessie incredulously.

saylor and miguel looked between us with confused expressions on their faces. jessie looked at me with betrayal written on their face as their cheeks flushed.

"i was just curious," she defended as she crossed her arms over her chest. just by that, saylor and miguel seemed to piece together what had happened.

i shook my head. i debated on sending them the link.

then i'd be feeding into their delusions...

oh, well, she's beyond help at this point.

i rolled my eyes. the other three seemed to go back to minding their own business. i turned my attention back to my phone. i was going to just delete wattpad, but i paused for a second.
