Chapter 16 ~ Earth
Your POV
I stayed frozen in shock, unable to process what was happening. Jordan, the Jordan Mendax celebrity actor and singer, who was dating my sister and loved by millions of fans around the world as kissing me right now.
He broke away softly, a triumphant smirk shimmering on his face as his brown eyes gleamed down on my confused (e/c) ones. My instant reaction was to run away before someone saw us, knowing my luck. Imagine the headlines it would make all over the world. Jordan Mendax cheats on celeb girlfriend Blair (l/n) with her sister. However, I was right. It was too late.
'Oh. My. Gosh.'
The tall celeb with bleached blonde hair and salmon-pink tips emerged from the shadows of the trees, another smug blonde and two other teens trailing behind her. Blair's sequined silver mini-dress swayed and flashed brilliantly, making me wonder how I didn't see her before. Maybe it was because fore the first time in her life she was quiet. Hot tears ruined her perfect make-up, trailing down her cheeks, staining her face with black marks from the mascara. Her mouth, smudge with shimmering lip gloss, trembled, as if she had no control over her body now. Before the silence got too awkward, she let out an ear-piercing shriek and then hunched down, sobbing uncontrollably.
'Blair!'
The two stylish teenager girls leaped over to comfort Blair, who I recognized as star-studded twins Astrid and Caitlan Jayde. Jordan made no effort to correct his errors. Instead, he smiled wickedly.
'What are you smiling about, Mendax?' asked Ashley fiercely.
'Oh, nothing. It's just the sight of Blair reduced to tears makes me happy,' he grinned even wider. Blair let out another wave of tears, weeping even more aggressively than before. I rushed over to comfort her. Even though she had changed because of stardom and fame, she was still my sister.
'It's going to be okay,' I hugged her.
I didn't expect her yell at me and push me away. 'Go away, traitor!'
'I didn't do anything!' I tried to reason with her. But she was having none of it.
'Stop it, (y/n)!' she screamed so loudly that even Ashley and the twins stepped back. 'My fucking boyfriend cheated on me! With you! You, of all people! My own fucking sister! I couldn't find my singing partner so I went looking for him and this is what happened! But why?'
'Why?' snapped Jordan loudly. For the first time in my life, I saw Jordan get angry. His hands was curled up in fists and spit was flying everywhere, his eyes hardened in resentment. It was so weird seeing him like this. Usually he was such a laid back person. 'Because lately, it feels like I've been invisible. You've been referring to me as just your "singing partner". Don't bother arguing with me. You did it just then. And don't think I haven't seen you feeling up other men. But (y/n) was a different story. She reminded me so much of the girl you used to be before you became a star. The girl that I had fallen in love with. But that girl has gone from you now. And it feels like you want me to go as well.'
If Jordan hadn't kissed me and cheated on Blair, I would've felt sorry for him. Lately I have been feeling the same way, except about Chanel and Layla. I know what it is to feel invisible, to be taken for granted. And it really hurts. But Jordan had gone too far. He shouldn't have cheated, especially with me, being Blair's sister. I glanced at him, and was shocked to see tears beginning to pool in his eyes. However, you couldn't really blame him for doing this. The old Blair truly was gone, lost in the fame. Blair could be such a bitch sometimes nowadays.
'I-I didn't you felt this way,' Blair stuttered. 'You could've just told me.'
'You don't understand,' muttered Jordan. 'This isn't something you can just tell somebody and expect everything to be better again. It's...it's different. There's the fear that they just might ignore you, or treat you like a joke just like so many other times.'
I didn't realize I was crying until I felt hot, salty water trickling down my cheeks in fat droplets, shining beneath the moonlight. It was the silent type of crying, without any noises or seizures. It was the worst one of all. But everything Jordan said was true. I could relate to him so badly it hurt.
'But I cannot accept this, still,' sobbed Blair. She turned her icy, hardened eyes towards me. 'You, (y/n). You are no longer my sister.'
I didn't cry. I just froze up. My lips parted in shock as I took in the words. Tears sprung up to my eyes, the hot water burning my eyes.
'I hope you're happy now,' I snapped poisonously. 'Because I can tell you were just looking for a pathetic reason to disown me. You didn't even try to help me or comfort me when I was being treated like junk by Ashley, Harper and Chanel. I know you saw me. Or maybe you were just making out with another guy. You're so angry at Jordan for cheating on you with me, but how about all those times you brought another guy home? Mother and Father may not have known, but it's hard when your room is next to mine and at night you constantly hear moaning.'
Blair's face flushed bright red, her eyes darting everywhere but everyone's eyes. I could feel Jordan tense up behind me, waves of resentment and anger rippling around him.
'I don't even know why I still called you my sister,' I continued in anger. 'The sister I loved, the sister that loved me and cared about me vanished a long time ago. All because of your fame and stardom, you became a Hollywood girl who dyes her hair, gets acrylic nails and wear revealing clothes. Just hiding your true self. Didn't you ever think about the ones that loved you before? Because now they're gone. Father, Mother, me and Jordan. We're all gone.'
My voice cracked.
'Goodbye, Blair (l/n),' I whispered. Then I turned on my heel and ran away, far away into the trees. I passed the car, only pausing to grab my phone and hoodie and chuck it over my head. I didn't know where the heck I was going, all I cared was getting away from anyone. Everyone so far had betrayed me, except for Mother and Father. They all made me feel worthless. This night was the worst.
The sounds of crickets chirping echoed throughout the trees near the beach. Wind whipped my hood back, staining my tears onto my flushed cheeks as well. The time was currently around 11pm. Most people from the party would be leaving now. Good. That meant less people.
Eventually I stopped at a bathroom, and figured I could wash my face. It was covered with dirt, sand and tears. But as soon as I washed it off, more tears sprung up. I slowly sat down on the cold tiles, curling up against the wall. I clenched my teeth together as I tilted my head back, letting the tears flow down my cheeks.
My phone buzzed, telling me that a dozen people were calling me. Blair, Jordan, Mother, Chanel, Ashley, Jack and Layla. But that only caused me to throw my phone away. I felt satisfied as I heard it plop into the toilet. Another problem gone. But that still didn't stop it from buzzing still.
There was only one person I needed. Only one person I wanted to see. Too bad he didn't even exist. His face floated into my thoughts, his pale face framed by his shaggy, white bangs. His scarlet hues glistened with warmth and kindness, unlike anybody else in this world.
'Shu,' I whispered, closing my eyes. 'I need you.'
(lol, that rhymes)
The sound of a door opening echoed throughout the toilets. Sniffling, I wiped the last of my tears before standing up in an attempt to get my shit together. Standing in front of me was the familiar brown-eyed teenager that had torn my family apart.
'Jordan.'
He opened his mouth to speak, but I interrupted. 'Why are you here?'
'I need a favor,' he said nervously, twisting his hands. 'The social. It's coming up and-'
'I don't think I should accompany you,' I interjected softly again. 'I might not even go. And if I did, it certainly won't be with you. You tore my family apart. Imagine the media once it finds out that you cheated on Blair with her "low life, dirt cheap" sister.'
'But you're not "low life" or "dirt cheap" to me,' whispered Jordan, kneeling down and holding my hands. My face remained stony, not even a flicker of emotion across my face, which was remarkable considering the state I had just been in. 'Please. I need you to come with me. So I can get Blair back.'
'So you're just planning on using me so you can get Blair again,' I took my hands away from him, crossing them. I scowled deeply. 'I am not some sort of tool.'
'I know, I know,' Jordan nervously ran his fingers through his hair. 'But if I do get together with Blair again, everything will be back to normal. Blair will be able to tolerate you more, I'll tell her too. Your parents won't need to know anything, and Blair will have learned why I left her in the first place. The old Blair will be back, I can guarantee you.'
At the mention of the old Blair, my eyes began watering. I really missed her. And I don't want my parents or the media finding out about this. 'But the Jayde twins and Ashley...won't they blab?'
'I'll...I'll pay them,' Jordan said desperately. 'Everyone wants a little cash.'
That was true. And Ashley really did need the money. But it was still a hard decision.
'Please,' whispered Jordan. His chocolate eyes swirled with plead and desperation.
'Ok,' I finally agreed. 'But no kisses or hugs or anything romantic.'
'Thank you, (y/n),' grinned Jordan, wrapping his arms around me.
'I said no hugging.'
'Oh, yeah,' smiled Jordan sheepishly, rubbing the back of his head. 'Then let's get out of here. It stinks in the toilet.'
'It really does,' I returned to smile, walking out of the toilet. The first signs of morning was beginning to appear, the golden light dappling the shimmering water. I exhaled slowly, hoping the decision I had made was the right one.
I was going to the social with Jordan.

Don't freak out, the main character will end up with Shu. Not Jordan or Jack, okay?
