Lia: hey stranger

Jude: hey, how are you?

Lia: I'm good, you?

I said with a weak smile on my face

Jude: I'm okay

Lia: I'm glad you're okay, when is your flight tomorrow?

Jude: my flight is at 9 am

Lia: oh okay

I said with a big smile on my face, which I'm sure Jude noticed because he asked why I was smiling when he said that

Jude: why were you smiling when you said that?

Lia: no reason

Jude just looked at me with a suspicious look and laughed before he changed the subject, talking to him calmed me down and I actually forgot about how stressed I'd been the whole day

Lia: did you see the articles?

Jude: what articles?

He asked with a very confused look on his face

Lia: the ones about Jobe and I

Jude: no

He said in a confused tone

Lia: are you actually serious

Jude: yeah

Lia: well on Monday during Ahmed's match paparazzi kept taking pictures of Jobe and I and they took them way out of context, there's one picture that's more popular than the others and it's of me looking at Jobe's phone laughing because we were showing each other memes. The tabloids have different titles to get views but the most popular article is titled "Jude Bellingham's Girlfriend cheated on him with his brother"

Jude's face turned from happy to sad, as soon as he heard the articles title

Jude: British media is toxic and it's just fucking annoying to see them gossiping about our relationship

He said in a very upset tone

Lia: what makes me more sick to my stomach is the fact they think I'd actually do that to you with your own brother

Jude: yeah it really sucks, but we just have to try and ignore the bs

As he said that I got a notification on my phone, and it was another death threat. I've gotten over 100 death threats and messages from people calling me a cheater and an asshole because I was Jobe after the match on Monday, the hate towards me is so fucking unnecessary. I've had girls who don't know I'm Ahmed's sister dm me telling to stay away from him after we were photographed hugging after the match, I know I shouldn't pay attention and I did at the beginning but it's gotten worse. I find myself scrolling at all the messages telling me to go die and that I don't deserve anything in this world, when I'm reading them it's hard to get myself to stop reading because I feel trapped. I don't realize how long I've been staring at my phone, until I feel tears falling down my face and Jude's voice calling my name. I try to wipe my tears and pretend to be okay, but it's already too late
