Chapter 8

I woke up at 11 am to a text from Jacob.

Jacob: Good morning 😊

Me: gooood morning

Jacob: What are you doing today?

Me: nothing really, usually just sleep on saturdays lol

Jacob: Wanna meet at the park?

Me: sure, what time?

Jacob: 12?

Me: works for me

Jacob: Don't each lunch yet btw 😉

Picnic, eh? Is this a date? No, no. What are you thinking? He's annoying, remember Emma? I mentally slapped myself as I got ready. It was warm today, so I put on a pink t-shirt and light shorts. (Pictured Above In Media) I haven't had breakfast yet, but since I woke up so late, I'll just wait till I get to the park with Jacob. It's around 12:30 by the time I finish doing my hair and makeup. I decide to go ahead and walk to the park. I grab my phone and say bye to my Mom and dad.

When I get to the park, Jacob is already there. He has a blanket laid out and a picnic basket set on top of the blanket. He has plates and cups laid out. The place at the park that Jacob chose to have our picnic at overlooked parts of the city, which was gorgeous. I stood there for a minute, taking in everything. It was breathtaking. "Hey, you just going to stand there or..?" Jacob shouted to me. "Yeah, I think I'm just going to stand here." I laughed and walked over. "This place is beautiful!" I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture of the picnic over looking the view. I captioned it "best picnic ever😍" I put my phone away and we ate.

Later on, my phone started blowing up. It was comments on my Instagram post. "Let's not worry about that." Jacob said, as I started staring at my phone. A bunch of people were commenting "I ship it 😍😍😍" and others were commenting "Stay away from Jacob" and things like that. I don't get it, though? I didn't post anything about Jacob. "How do they know you're here?" I said to Jacob. "I may or may not have posted something..." He said looking down, while yet again, rubbing the back of his neck. I went to his Instagram and saw that he posted a picture of me. It was a pic of me smiling at the view and the picnic in the foreground. He captioned it, "Anything for this smile 😊❤️" I smiled to myself when I read it. "Just ignore the hate. I get it all the time. I'm really sorry I dragged you into this. I didn't mean to." He apologized. "Dragged me into what?" "The fandom. They're like crazy protective over internet stars." He said while I laughed. "But they don't even know you." He shrugged his shoulders and stuffed more food into his mouth. I laughed and took a snapchat of him cramming his face. I captioned it, "goofball 😂"

Jacob walked me home after the picnic and we said our goodbyes. I walked into the living room and checked my phone. I continued to get hate comments but I ignored it. Lilia texted me privately.
