Raquel’s POVI was going to throw up.Or die.Why had I lied and dug myself into a hole and then dragged Uma in with me? Why couldn’t things be simple? Why was I so goddamn scared to tell everyone that I was in love with Uma and she loved me back? I wish I didn't care so much what other people thought of me, especially my parents. I would continue to be unhappy to appease them and that would eventually destroy me. I had to do something about it.But not this week. It was birthday week for me and the girls. I had to at least get through it with no drama. Of course that required me coming out to yet another Leonidas. That whole family was going to know I was a lesbian befor anyone else did.I nervously knocked on Zach's door.He opened the door and smiled. “Hey Raquel. Uma mentioned that you’d be coming over. Come in.”“Thank you so much,” I stepped inside and he led me to the living room. I sat down stiffly and Zach sat across from me. “So…what’s up?”“Um…I need your help…well both U
Fiona’s POVI looked so good!Mitt had bought me an amazing dress for the night of the party. It was tight and magenta. It dipped low in the back and had a slit that had four rows of diamonds connecting the slit. I felt luxurious and beautiful.“Wow you are stunning,” Mitt smiled when I stepped out of the bathroom. “You are a vision.”“You think?” I smiled happily. “I know so. I wish I could be there with you tonight.”“You can be,” “No, I can’t. Tonight is about you and your friends. Besides partying with people like twenty years younger than me doesn’t sound very fun.”“I guess I understand that. Will you at least wait up for me? Or is it going to be past your bedtime?” I teased. “I’ll have some coffee and stay up for you.” He kissed me. “You should get going. Have fun.”“I love you Mitt.”“I love you too, Fiona. You’re my star.”--As always, our party was at Uma’s mom’s mansion. It looked magnificent! “Hello?” I called. “Upstairs!” Uma called back.I headed up and saw the gi
Mitt’s POVI had a dark secret I was keeping from Fiona.I didn’t know how to tell her, but I knew it would put some serious strain on our relationship. This was not at all something I had ever planned on happening. It was my own fault that I was lonely, I knew that. I had lived my life in a way that isolated the people I loved. I was just never good about sticking around and being good to people. I was focused on making money.And then I found myself with an insane amount of money and yet no one to share it with. I didn’t exactly need a girlfriend, but I wanted a woman that I could at least talk to. Someone pretty to share what was going on in my life. And then I found Fiona.She was so hesitant at first and I understood why. I was much older than her and she probably thought I was some creep. I started falling in love with her without even realizing it. It happened so quickly. But I knew she could never love me back. I was way too old and damaged. There were better, younger men f
Fiona’s POVI needed my friends to meet Mitt.I just wanted to rip the band-aid off. Who cares if he’s older? Who cares if this started off as a sugar daddy situation? All that mattered now was that he loved me and I loved him. “What about Friday night?”“I don’t know.”“Mitt!” I whined. “Do you not want to meet my friends, is that it? You can tell me if that’s the case.”“Fine, I don’t want to meet your friends.”“They’re gonna start thinking I made you up and that I robbed a bank or something.”“I just know it won’t go over well,” Mitt sighed. “I’m just sure of it, trust me Fiona.”“So what? They never get to meet you? I’ll always be a seventh wheel when my friends and I go out. Is it me? You’re ashamed of me or something?”“What? Of course not, Fiona. I love you.” He kissed me. “I could never be ashamed of you, my love. It’s me. I’m just worried your friends will lose respect for you for being with a guy like me.”“A handsome older man who is very rich? Come on, I’ve known the gi
Fiona’s POVZora had been strange to me.Meeting Mitt definitely made her see me differently. I didn’t think she’d be so judgy with me, honestly. I thought we were friends now. “I’m so excited to meet Mitt on Friday!” Uma smiled as she sat down in Hendrix’s lap.Olivia and Riley had invited us over to celebrate him getting out of the hospital. I still wasn’t sure what had happened, but I was glad he was okay. “I’m excited too!” I smiled. “Zora already met him.”“I sure did,” Zora muttered. “Well, what was he like?” Uma pressed. “Was he super hot?”“You wouldn't think so.”“Why not?” I asked. “You don’t think Mitt is hot?”“I like girls, what the hell do I know?”“What?” Uma asked. “Did you just come out to us?” Raquel asked, almost in alarm. “Just like that?”“I didn’t mean to, but it’s true. Zach and Fiona know.”“Why does no one tell me anything?” Uma asked. “But that’s kickass, good for you sis. I can see why it didn’t work out with Tim.”“So you’re not bisexual?” Raquel asked.
Fiona’s POVZora would not ruin this for me.I didn’t know what was wrong with her! Who did she think she was telling me that I couldn’t bring my boyfriend to meet my friends? Why the hell was it any of her business anyways? I was a grown woman and I could handle myself.“Maybe she’s right,” Mitt suggested. “No!” I exclaimed. “She’s barely even my friend, I don’t care what she thinks! The girls really want to meet you and I can’t back out now. It’s tomorrow baby.”He sighed. “You’re right, and I promised. I never want to lie to you, so I will do it.”“Thank you, babe,” I kissed him. “They’ll think it’s weird at first, but then they’ll see how much I love you and how good you are to me. And then we can quadruple date.”“Fiona, honey you are getting ahead of yourself, my love. You have no idea what will happen. We should prepare for the worst.”“And what is the worst?” I questioned. “I…I don’t know, Fiona, but I just have a bad feeling about this, okay? But I will do it because I can’
Unknown POVThis was a disaster.I don’t know how I let things get so out of control with The Fab FOUR. I wasn’t being as diligent as I should have been. I had to figure things out in my own life and let myself get distracted and I shouldn't have done that. The girls clearly couldn’t handle life without me!Fiona had been dumped by Tim and I had to know what had happened. It was hard to get Tim alone. I wasn’t sure if he remembered me or not, but I had to at least try right.“Hey, Tim. How’s it going?” I said, sitting at a table with him. “Oh hey, how are you?” He grinned. “It’s been awhile, hasn’t it?”“Yeah, it has been. How are you and Fiona?”I felt like if it seemed like I wasn’t up to date on their relationship it would make me more disarming. “Oh um..Fiona and I actually broke up.” He muttered. “I’m sorry to hear that,” I frowned. “Was it because of the way she makes money?”His eyes widened. “You know about that?”“She accidentally let it slip once,” I lied. “I didn’t agr
Fiona’s POVI was quiet on the whole drive home.I coudln’t actually believe what happened. Lied to by my boyfriend, yelled at by one of my best friends, slapped by the other. How the fuck did this happen?When we arrived, Mitt and I went up to our room. We sat on the bed and stared at each other for a few moments. “Why didn’t you tell me?” I whispered. “I didn’t know how to, Fiona. I loved you so much and I didn’t want to lose you.”“Have you known the whole time we’ve been together?”“Kind of. The moment you mentioned Uma’s name for the first time, I knew she was my daughter. I mean how many Uma’s are there in this area? I just…didn’t know what to say. And then I saw you play for the first time and I just knew it was her. She was so beautiful.”“You have nineteen kids Mitt? Are you in any of their lives?”He shook his head. “I never wanted things to be like this, but I had goals and ambitions and all those women and children didn’t really factor into that. I paid child support tho
Fiona’s POV I loved life. I had more money than I knew what to do with, a loving boyfriend, the best friends in the entire world. Oh yeah, and a record deal. As alway, Uma was right. We won Battle of the Bands and got the coveted record deal. We would be going to California for the summer to finish the album we had luckily already started. I was so excited to go! I couldn’t believe how horrible my life had been before this. Broke, miserable, flunking out of school. I had really turned a lot of things around and I was proud of myself. I had come a long way. “What do you think she’s having?” Mitt asked as we got ready for Olivia’s baby shower. We were originally going to find out after Battle of the Bands but we were so excited and decided the first Fab FOUR baby deserved its own celebration. We were throwing it at our house since it’s the biggest. “Oh boy for sure,” I stated. “I’m sure of it.” “I think so too,” He admitted. “I guess we’ll see if we’re right.” “We’re her
Fiona’s POVUma and Hendrix are so talented!We’ve been in the studio recording the songs they wrote, and it’s such a surreal experience! We might actually be going places even if we don’t win the Battle of the Bands.“Don’t be negative, Fi, we’re gonna win!” Uma insisted. “We don’t know that,” I pointed out. “I’ve seen the competition, it is pretty stiff,” Hendrix admitted. “Though no one’s front man is as pretty as ours.”“See?” Uma asked. “ My good looks are going to get us places.”“Well, we already knew that,” Raquel giggled. She was different now. Not so jumpy and scared of everything. I think the weight of her secret being lifted really changed her life and her demeanor. I liked this new Raquel. “Fiona, where is Mitt with the food?” Olivia whined. “I’m hungry.”“Remember when she never wanted to eat?” Riley joked. “Now it’s like she wants to eat everything.”“Sorry, I’m just trying to grow your child.” “And I worship you for it.” Riley kissed her. “Seriously, Fiona, where
Fiona’s POVI was ignoring the whispers. I didn’t care what these people thought of me. I was in an incredible band, I had a great boyfriend, and most of my friends liked me.We ended up canceling our meeting to clear the air since Olivia didn’t feel very well, so Uma and I still hadn’t talked. “What do you think will happen when you two talk?” Mitt asked. “I just hope I won’t get slapped again.”“What if she doesn’t want to be friends with you anymore because of me?”“I don’t know, Mitt. We’ve been friends forever, I don’t want to lose that.”“I know and I don’t want you to.”“You don’t want any kind of relationship with her Mitt? Really?”“I feel like it’s too late. Too much has happened.” Mitt admitted. “I don’t think she really wants one with me either.”“I think you two should talk, like seriously. No yelling or excuses. Just talk to her. Maybe then she can get on board with us.”“You still want to be with me that badly? I know you’ve been hanging out with Tim.”“Tim and I are
Fiona’s POVI feel like I was getting so much information all at once. Olivia never really recovered from her eating disorder, Uma and Raquel were together, Raquel is an actual lesbian! I would have never guessed that. Of course it now made sense why she was so infatuated with Uma. “Who would do this to you guys?” J.T. asked. “I don’t know,” Uma sighed. “I mean I know that Cassius spread it around, but he got it from someone else.”“This person has to be a hacker or something right? Otherwise how would they even know where to look for my profile or find out what Olivia was doing online?” I asked.“Maybe it’s another band,” Henrdrix suggested. “I mean Battle of the Bands is right around the corner. A lot of people want the opportunity to get a record deal.”“I don’t think it has anything to do with the Battle of the Bands,” Raquel whispered. “Since everything is pretty much out now…I was being blackmailed about my sexuality.”“Someone was blackmailing me too,” Olivia said. “They kne
Fiona’s POVI couldn't breathe.I swear everyone was whispering and laughing at me. “Slut.” A girl muttered as she walked by me. “Whore!” Another once cackled. I had never felt so judged and hated my entire life. I didn’t think I could actually stay on campus. “Fiona!” Someone called. “Leave me the fuck alone!” I screamed as I turned around. It was Tim. “Did you do this?”“What? No, of course not! I would never do that to you Fiona. I just wanted to make sure you’re okay.”“Am I okay? After someone exposed that about me and now I’m being called a slut by people that I don’t even know? No, I am not doing okay!”“Do you want me to take you somewhere? We can go talk or something?”“I can’t,” I shook my head. “I just want to be alone right now.”“Maybe that’s not what’s best.” Tim suggested. “What do you care? You dumped me Tim! For this exact reason!”“Fiona, did you forget that you lied to me several times? That’s what made me upset, that you lied to me all the time. I felt like I
