chapter twenty seven

georgenotfound tagged you in a post

i took a deep breath as i clicked onto the instagram app, not wanting to cry again. he had posted the pictures of all of us together, the first one from the picnic and a second one from the water gun war. i smiled looking at his caption, tommy sucks at balloon fights. i giggled as i thought of a good response, yeah and so are you. don't act like you forgot what happened...
i posted my comment, proud of my words and texted george.

just got home! :D have a safe flight. text me when you get to the airport/when you get home <3

he responded a few seconds later

glad you are home safe. i'll talk to you soon!

i turned off my phone and smiled, i'll admit, i was a little hurt that george didn't give any thought to me in his post but i knew it was because of the fans and i completely respected his decision. i looked at my phone to see texts from eleanor, bella and clay saying that their plane had landed. clay was on his way to get on his second plane to florida while bella and eleanor made their way to their houses. i texted back a quick yay! and headed over to val's room.

"hey," i said peaking my head into the room, "wanna go to the store now?" i asked as i looked at her sitting on her bed. she didn't respond, but she was looking intently down at her phone so i walked over to her. i saw there was a tweet on her screen and i looked down to read it.

GUYS STOP TAGGING G*ORGE THIS IS EMBARRASSING

"oh my god i love maia so much. her music is literally so beautiful and she's so gorgeous i didn't know you liked her! why didn't you-" i said as i looked at val in confusion when she slid out of the tweet and went to the previous tweet maia had sent out.

why am i simping over minecraft youtubers

i told val to look at the replies, we saw lots of fan accounts tagging various minecraft youtubers, george being the most regularly occurring one. i looked at val and she looked back at me, a worried expression on her face.

"it's fine val, it's not like it's her fault. george did kinda tell his fans that we weren't a thing because of the whole babe situation..." i trailed off as she went back to the first tweet she showed me, most of the replies were filled with george's twitter user, but to my surprise, there were some pictures and mentions of me in the replies as well. lots of people were saying how we 'basically were dating' while others were saying george was a free man. i figited with the rings on my finger as val put her hand on mine.

"hey," she said, "don't worry. george is on a plane and can't see this right now but at the end of the day he is still your boyfriend. i'm sure things will be fine once he gets his wifi back." she smiled at me as she rubbed my hand. "now let's go get these groceries, i am starving." we both stood up and made our way into the living room. i grabbed my wallet and the keys and val grabbed her wallet as well as our reusable bags. val promised to drive to the store since i had done most of the driving on the way home. we had decided to go to the grocery store and then to target just to make sure we got everything we wanted. about five minutes later val pulled into the parking garage of the mall where we would be going to trader joe's first and target second. we decided to split up when we walked into the doors of the store, the cold air hitting my arms. i would go get dairy and snacks while she got actual food. as i walked up to the freezers, i felt my phone buzz. a twitter notification popped up on my screen,

maia has sent you a message.

my heart stopped beating as i frantically opened the message. oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. i thought to myself as i waited for twitter to load. i finally got the dms to open and i started to read what she said.

maia: hey y/n! i'm not sure the whole situation but i'm so sorry for simping over george on the tl!! if i knew you guys were together i would've never thought anything like that. i just wanted to let you know i am not trying to take your man or anything!

i stood, stunned, standing in front of the various types of milk behind the glass. i tried to think of the best response to her,

y/n: omg wait is this real wtf. first of all, i literally love you so much i am such a big fan of you i almost passed out in the middle of trader joe's when i saw your message. second of all, pls don't feel bad! we aren't officially 'a thing' to all of the fans yet so there is no way you would've known. sorry for the misunderstanding!

as i was replying to her, val walked over and i showed her everything. she gasped and smiled wide when i told her what was going on. i grabbed the milk from the freezers, and as we were checking out, i felt my phone buzz.

maia: omg! i am so glad you are a fan! that makes me so happy :D thanks for letting me know!! ur cool btw. let me know if u ever wanna play mc ;)

y/n: ahhh i'm so glad! u are literally ethereal ur music is insane. also, i would LOVE to. ur pretty cool too :]

i slid out of our messages to see a tweet from maia on the timeline

nvm i changed my mind i simp for y/n now i love women.

i giggled as val and i walked back to put the groceries in the car and then walked back up to go into target. we got a few different types of snacks and drinks to stock up the pantry and fridge. a few minutes later, we were beginning our voyage back to the apartment. when we got there, i stuffed the bags onto my arms and val did the same because neither of us wanted to make a second trip. as i brought the bags in the kitchen and began to unload, i saw my phone screen light up on the kitchen island. i clicked my phone and looked down at the notification.

i started at my phonek confusion. assuming it was just an instagram glitch from earlier, i clicked on the notification, not paying much attention to it. i quickly put a box of cereal in the cupboard and walked back over to my hone, the phone screen turning dim. i looked at kit confused as i saw the picture looked different from the one earlier. i tapped my phone screen, making the brightness pop. looking at the post, my stomach began to fill up with butterflies as i processed the photo on my screen. there it was. the photo eleanor had taken without either of us knowing. wrapped up in each other's arms, lips connected, the beautiful scenery behind us. everything looked so perfect. i looked down at the caption

i couldn't see colour of the sky, but y/n made up for it <3
