Elizabeth opened her eyes the next day to the sound of shouting and yelling from the outside of her window. When she awoke, she could see the debris of eggshells and tomato juice in front of her window. The sound of megaphones and chanting some sort of statement outside.
She looked out with her tired eyes to see what was happening. She saw the multiple number of media, paparazzi, journalists, reporters, cameramen, and even teenage girls swarming in front of her apartment complex. She figured it had something to do with some other tenant in the building, but suddenly, when they all saw her face. They widened their eyes, which made her shocked as well, which began all the sounds of camera clicks and the increasing volume of those megaphone chants.
With the quickest of her agility, she grabbed her curtains from the sides and shut it close completely. She panted in shock and couldn't seem to figure out what was going on. All kinds of thought kept wandering round and round in her head.
What have I done? Did I do something wrong? Did I kill someone in my sleep? Am I going to jail?!
She didn't know what was going on and she was confused as hell. Her head was going wild with thoughts. What were they screaming? She wondered. So she pressed her ear to her window and pushed it slightly open behind the curtains. She still wasn't visible ,so she allowed herself to listen intently.
"Give Mark Hale back you slut!"
"Mark's girlfriend... Bullshit!"
"He's the fans' treasure, don't keep him all to yourself!"
"You're too ugly for him!"
Woah... what happened? She thought. She wondered if all those words were towards her and also realized how hardcore Mark's fan's are during game season.
The ringing of her phone sounded. Looking for some kind of solace in this confusing situation, she hurriedly picked it up knowing it was Megan.
"Megan!"
"El! You finally woke up! I've called you a hundred of times this morning, have you seen the news!?"
"No. What's going on?! My apartment is being swarmed right now."
"I thought you would know how to explain the whole thing you did. Check out social media, It's everywhere!"
Elizabeth's anxiety shot up a hundred levels, not knowing what had happened and also after hearing Megan's shock. So she quickly hung up her call with a short 'bye' to her friend' and quickly opened up her social media.
Overnight, the media shut her up with a storm. Her profile was filled with all sorts of hate messages and some, surprisingly, support messages in her so-called 'relationship' with soccer player, Mark Hale.
