Everything Has Changed

Chapter 11

18 One Direction Slowed

"So... like its goes like this." You grabbed the guitar and started playing then singing along. (pretend you wrote the song) "I have loved you since we were 18. Long before we both thought the same thing to be loved and to be in love." Then you continued with your producer in layering the instruments for that song becoming the song that you wrote and produced less than an hour. "So you and Tom?" You dropped your shoulders and looked at him with an I'm so done expression. "Don't. We're not." He gave that teasing grin, 'that if you say so' type of face.

"How about you? When are you proposing to her?" You asked teasingly as you asked your producer and his love life with his girlfriend for 5 years. "When the time is right." You sighed so done with playful comebacks being tossed around the room. He caught his attention on the paper that had lyrics titled All I Want. "Hey, do you wanna work on this." He showed you the lyric paper and nodded heading to the piano showing your progress. It flowed threw you and just let all your emotions out and about. "That's great, lets just add some sort of orchestral instruments then that would be it. Then in the concert you'll be in a gown, glitters, and— sing-alongs." He said in a dreamy, playful, girly manner making you laugh.

"That's amazing holy shit!" You squealed in excitement jumping up and down. You had accomplished 3 song today for production and actually for a singer-songwriter thats more than enough to accomplish for a day. You opened your phone to twitter seeing pictures of you and Tom from the carnival 2 days ago and articles claiming that it is confirmed that their dating. The picture you posted on ig was also trending at the moment with your birthday greeting with Tom. Your publicist called you a while ago saying that its nothing to worry about and its nothing major. You sighed in defeat. You read comments from any given posts some good and some taking a piece of your mental capacity.

She isn't that pretty.

She looks like a slut to me honestly...

Tom deserves better. She clearly would play with him like what she did to her exes.

You saw that it isn't only the picture is trending but the hashtag #Y/nY/L/Noverparty. You gulped down your saliva as your throat went dry. You gasps seeing so much more hate on the media. "Whats wrong?" Your producer asked as you showed your phone filled with hate comments. Then your phone rang... Zendaya.

"Hello." You picked up immediately trying to sound as calm as possible. "Are you ok?! Do you want me beside you?! I can come. Hey. Hey! Answer me." You were just silent not knowing how, what, or when to react. "I— I'm fine... just— just a bit shaken I guess." She sighed on the line. "Don't mind them, please. It's not true. I know that." You smiled and thanked her and headed back home

Your other friends called you as well asking how you were. You haven't heard from Tom, your publicist came and helped you with everything. "Can I unfollow everyone? Like 0 my follow feed in everything." You closed your eyed while you rested you back on the couch. "Inform them now. I'm sure they'll understand." You nodded and grabbed your phone messaging everyone. A few moments has passed garnering a few responses while the others are pending. You heard an urgent knock on your door. You opened the door seeing Harry, Harrison, and Tom looking at you.

"You ok?

"Did something happened?"

"Do I need to kick some asses?"

The all said at the same time while you told them that your publicist was helping you take care of things. "Good. Cause we just flew from Colorado, and came from press." You made them get in and sat down while you ordered food, Zendaya and Jacob also came to the rescue. Your notification weren't calming down nor was it helping. In the matter of a few minutes backlash came from you for nor being the standard, so as death threats. They were all know genuinely worried so as your parents and Tom's parents, and your publicist contacted the management.

You had a blank face on trying not to breakdown. You anxiety was peeking once again so as your emotions. Everything was all over the place, your thought was more concerned for the people around you, your friends and family. Your fans at the moment were defending you now, most of them... thankfully. The cast of Marvel and the production team helped you with that, understanding that you guys are on screen partners and best friends as well. Tweets from your cast members defending you was one of the things that uplifted you other than the support from your friends whom was beside you.

You just sighed and buried your head on your hands, your breathing unstable, your heart rate was fast, and you broke down. When they heard sobs they turned to you immediately hugging you while you repeatedly apologized to them for everything. Zendaya was the first to hug you as you broke down comforting you. "Calm down its ok. We won't let anything happen to you." Tom then sat beside you and engulfed you in a hug. "Its ok, love. We're here." He rubbed your back and caressing you arms.
