Fake Smiles (Jaele)

Confronting Maeve

Eventually I was able to calm myself down (with the help of Jace). I sat up and gave a fake and weak smile.

Riele: Thank you for staying with me

I said gratefully. He smiled at me making me get butterflies

Jace: I'm not going anywhere

He gave me a small kiss. When he pulled away he walked to the door leaving me VERY confused.

Riele: Not going anywhere huh?

I scoffed as he got to the door.

Jace: Oh yeah, I need to go somewhere

Riele: Really? I didn't know that!

I said sarcasticly. Jace simply laughed at me.

Riele: Where are you even going?

Jace: Just Maeve's house

Riele: Oh o- Wait what?!

I asked worried and slightly confused after realising he was doing.

Jace: You didn't think I'd let her get away with this, did you?

Riele: Well no but-

Jace: No buts. I'm going.

He said walking out.

Riele: Jace wait!

I said hopping off the bed and going after him. I was able to catch up to him as he got in the car. I knocked on the window and he opened it.

Riele: Baby please don't go see her. I don't want to make it worse.

Jace: She can't get away with this. It needs to stop

Riele: It doesn't bother me that much-

Jace: That's bull Riele and we both know

Riele: Ok you're right.... It bothers me... But what will bother me more is having to deal with Maeve yelling at me because YOU decided to confront her and make everything worse.

Jace sighed and opened the car door. A huge wave of relief washed over me but before I could Jace grabbed my wrist and pulled me in, getting rid of that feeling. Instead a pit of worry began to stir in my stomach. I didn't say anything. I knew where we were going and even though it terrified me, I knew couldn't stop it.

Jace: Come on

He said softly. I sighed and got out of the car. Jace knocked on the door as I hid behind him. Don't judge me! I'm freaking terrified!

Maeve: Hi Jace!

Maeve squealed when she saw it was Jace.

Jace: Hi

He said in the exact opposite tone.

Maeve: You wanna come in? My parents aren't home

She twirled her hair giggling. Does she not remember that he's in a relationship?

Jace: Actually WE would love to come in

Jace pulled me out from behind him.

Riele: *squeak*

I squeaked..... Ugh how stupid am I?!

Maeve: Oh, SHE'S here

Maeve said giving me a dirty look. I pretended that I hadn't noticed and slowly went inside.

Jace: I need to talk to you about something

Maeve: What is it?

She asked still acting all flirty. I'm still here!

Jace: I know what you've been texting Riele

Her face instantly dropped. He crossed his arms glaring at her. I just stood there not really sure what to do

Maeve: Oh.... Um.... Well...

She stuttered trying to come up with a believable explanation.

Maeve: Riele asked me to text all of this to her because she felt like she got no attention. Yup.

Jace simply rolled his eyes.

Jace: You honestly think I'll believe that?

Maeve: ....No

Jace: Just tell me why you did it

Maeve: Because I wanted you two to break up! She's not the right girl for you Jace! I am!

Jace looked pretty mad when she said that.

Jace: Explain why Riele isn't the right girl for me

He said angrily.

Maeve: We kissed once off set, then 10 minutes later she posted a tweet that basically said she was committing suicide, talk about over dramatic

..... That's kinda true.... In a way... But there was a lot going on. Not just Jace and Maeve.

Maeve: Plus you need a girl who's good enough for you. Riele isn't. She's fat, ugly, weird and the list goes on. Oh, and she's suicidal. Everyone knows you just feel bad for her. I'm pretty sure the only reason your dating her is to keep her alive so she can play Charlotte on the show.

I felt tears sting my eyes so I put my head down and blinked them away. What if what she said is true? Does only feel sorry for me? Is this all just an act? Will he dump me when the show's finished?

What am I saying? Of course he will. I'm not good enough for him...

But he said he's gonna stay... I trust him but.... I don't know... Just a feeling I guess.

The one thing I do know I need to get out of here.

Riele: I'm sorry but I have to go

I quickly head for the door but I feel someone grab my wrist. I turn around with teary eyes.

Jace: Wait-

Riele: No! I'm sorry but... I just can't.

After that I yank my hand away from him and run out. I go home and begin crying again.

Riele: *whispers* No stop crying. You're better than this.

I whisper to myself. I look down at my stomach, taking a shaky breath.

I'm so fat.

I go into the bathroom and look down at the toilet. Slowly, I kneel down and put my fingers in my mouth. I throw up all the food I've had today.

I look at my stomach again.

It's still not enough
