23. Out Of Faking

Today Jake and I were called into a meeting with both of our managers. Jake and I were waiting in the meeting room. "I'm scared to know what this is about." I said to him and he looked at me taking my hand.

"Well whatever happens. We have each other. And I love you." He said to me and I looked at him with a smile on my face.

"And I love you as well." I said to him and we interlaced our fingers. That's when my manager walked in. Glaring at me. This wasn't going to be a fun meeting. When Jake's manager came in he had a different approach. He was actually happy to see us.

"You might be wondering why you're both here today." Jake's manager said and we both looked at each other and then back him.

"That's because we need to have a catch up." My manager said and Jake and I looked at each other again.

"What are we catching up about?" I asked them and j was worried.

"We need to end the PR stunt." Jake's manager said and I was confused.

"What do you mean?" Jake asked them.

"We mean. You both need to break up. That means actually break up as well." My manager said. She had a huge smile on her face as well. I shook my head.

"That's not going to happen. You can't make us." I said to them and I looked at Jake. He still had his hand in mine.

"It's not happening. I'm with Dahlia, you forced us into this to begin with. We're not ending it just because you want it to be over." Jake said to them and I could hear the anger in his voice.

"We're doing this for both of your interests." Jake's manager said to the two of us and I shook my head again.

"No you're not. You are trying to profit off of us. We're not forcibly breaking our own hearts for you." I said to them both and Jake looked at me.

"Dah, it's okay. Calm down." Jake said to me and I shook my head at him.

"No, I won't. I've had enough of how this whole situation. Just let us be together. It's not hurting anyone." I said and that's when my manager looked at me.

"You might think that. I promise you it's hurting us." My manager said and I wasn't having any of this.

"But if it's not hurting us or our image why the need to do this." Jake said to them and I looked at them. My manager looked at him.

"Because we can and we will." My manager said and I stood up.

"I'm going. I can't do this anymore." I said and I stood up and left.

"Dah. Dah!" I could hear Jake shout from behind me. I stopped when I got outside. I cried. That's when I felt someone wrap me in a hug. "It's okay. We're going to be okay." Jake said and he hugged me. I hugged him back.

"What if it's not?" I asked him. I then looked up at him.

"We will, you'll get out of this contract. Everyone knows that your manager is the one that initiated. She just wants to make you hurt. All of you. Promise you'll leave?" He asked me and I looked at him and I nodded.

"I promise. We're trying to get to Glasshouse. it'll be safer for us." I said to him and he looked at me and kissed me.

"Just get out soon. I'm worried for you." He said to me and I looked at him.

"I'm worried for me as well." I said to him and that's when my manager came and grabbed my arm.

"We're going." She said and she pulled my arm. I had visible pain on my face.

"You're hurting her." Jake said to her and she looked back him.

"I didn't realize. Keep moving Dahlia. Let's go." She said to me and I could feel the tears pricking at my eyes. That's when we got to the car. The ride back to the dorms was in complete silence. I didn't want to be here anymore. We had to initiate the next move of our plan. But first. I wanted to call my brother. I wanted to tell him what was going on.
