Jack's POV
Four weeks ago

"You want me to do what?" I yell at my manager "Break up with her, you have a good as reason as any," he says and I scoff 

"And what would that reason be?" I say while tilting my head "She cheated on you," He says and my face drops

"What? No, she didn't," I say shaking my head in denial "Don't believe me? Go look at enews," He says and I hesitate before pulling out my phone 

I open Instagram and search for enews' profile, I click on the recent post and look at the picture of Indigo with some random boy, I read the caption with my heart breaking every step of the way. "This isn't real," I scoff while turning off my phone 

"Jack, there are pictures of them holding hands and laughing together, she cheated, accept that. This will be perfect for your career. You and this new movie, you and Natalie," he drags on the e in her name 

"What about me and Natalie, I want to see these pictures of them holding hands," I say quickly "You and Natalie date, will cause great commotion for the movie and I don't have the pictures her team got the photos taken down as soon as they went up," he shrugs 

"Me and Natalie will not date!" I say absurdly "If you want your career to go anywhere, yes you will." He says and I roll my eyes 

"I'm not breaking up with Indi, I don't believe she cheated," I say while crossing my arms "Well she did, you have to realize that, plus she's only with you for the fame, you see how many followers she's gained since you two have started hanging out again? She'd be nowhere without you," He says and I just stare at him in disbelief 

"She got there on her own, she made her own music, auditioned for her own stuff, I didn't help her with any of that," I say with anger lacing my voice "Who are her songs about? You. Who has won awards for her songs about you? Her. She wouldn't have that music if you guys hadn't broken up in the first place," he persuades 

"she cheated, get that through your thick skull, break up with her. Then you and Natalie will go out and be spotted together and see how much attention you gain," He says and my face goes blank 

Did she cheat on me? She wouldn't right? Right? No, of course not, she loves me, and I love her. He says he saw them holding hands though. She doesn't just around holding hands with some random dude. Random dude? If she wasn't cheating why don't I know who he is? Oh, my God. She never told me about him, she cheated. I can't believe this. 

"I," I start but cut myself off by all my thoughts "See you know I'm right," He says as a tear rolls down my face 

"She wouldn't though," I whisper "She did though, out in the open, she wanted you to know. She knew people would follow her," He says and I inhale deeply 

"I can't believe this,?" I say while sitting down and putting my head in between my hands "Break. It. Off." He says slowly and taking pauses in between each word 

I pull out my phone with shaking hands and decide to text her. What am I even going to say? How am I going to confront her about cheating on me? She's supposed to be coming out here soon to be with my family. How could she? My mom loves her. Oh my god, my mom. Does she know yet? I need to text her. After I text Indigo though.

"Are you serious?" I yell at the words my manager had just told me "What?" He says 

"What do you mean what? Did you not just hear what you said to me?" I say while pacing back and forth "Well obviously I know what I told you but I don't know why you're reacting like this," He says while leaning back into his chair 

"You just told me that she didn't cheat and you had people purposely following her just to catch something? Have you even seen how bad she's doing lately? I have to hold myself back every second of every day to not buy a plane ticket to just hold her. You had me convinced that she no longer loved me and threw that all away from some dude," I yell angrier than ever 

"It doesn't matter, there have been articles out about you than ever," He says breathlessly and with a smile "I don't give a shit about any of those articles. You had me believing that the only person I have ever loved cheated on me? You know she struggles with shit and you still made me do this," I shake my head quickly 

"Jack, I did this for you. For you to get your name out there, and with the support of Natalie and her team you guys are going to be the new IT couple," He says and I scoff 

"I don't care about any of that shit if it means losing her! Natalie and her team can go fuck themselves," I yell "You're done, I'm firing you," I yell 

"You can't fire me for another seven months. It's in your contract," He laughs "Un-fucking-believable," I yell pissed 

"Why would you think I'd want this? What would compel you to do this?" I ask genuinely wanting to know "The same reason everyone else does it. Money," he shrugs 

"I'm done with this. The movie, you, the bullshit, everything. I even got into a fight with my own mother because I believed she cheated just like you said!" I say while slamming my hands onto his desk 

"No matter how much you say you're done, she'll never forgive you, I got news that she almost passed out in the studio because she wasn't eating enough, so good luck trying to get her back after she's already put herself through shit," He says and my heart drops 

"What?" I say softly "Huh?" He says "She almost what? because she wasn't what?" I say asking to see if I heard him right 

"She almost passed out, because she hasn't been eating enough. You did this to her, her body is slowly dying because of you. She's not going to forgive you," He says 

"No! She's going through this because of you! Not me! Who cares if she forgives me, but I'm still going to do everything in my power to make sure she starts taking better care of herself," I yell 

"Well, there's no way for you to get ahold of her anyways, so good luck." He shrugs "Don't forget we still have access to all of your media accounts. Even if you do text her, your posts won't back anything you say," he finishes and I storm out of the room and slamming the door behind me 

I have never been more pissed and upset than right now.

Do you think she'll forgive him? Do you think he'll even forgive himself?
