Fake It For Me

Nine.

Put your tv on channel 7!!! You’re on tv!

I look at the text message I just received wondering if it was a joke. There was no way I was on tv. Still, I change the channel to 7 and my mouth hangs open in shock as I realize that it is me, and Alex. It was the interview we’d done a few weeks ago, but I’d completely forgotten about it, until now.

Seeing us on my small screen, I suddenly remember the interview clearly, the nerves and Alex’s comfort. As I watch the show, I can’t seem to stop staring at our entwined fingers until my phone rings pulling me out of my reverie. “Hello.”

“Fallon! Are you watching it?” Daniel’s voice floods through the phone and I immediately smile at the sound of it.

“Watching what?”

“Didn’t you get my text? “ He wonders, his voice rising slightly, sounding exasperated. “You’re on television!”

“Oh,” I respond, realizing that Daniel must’ve been the person who told me to watch the interview in the first place. “Yeah I got your text. I’m watching it.”

“I didn’t know that you were famous now.”

I shake my head, before realizing that he can’t see me. “I’m not. It’s just I had to do this interview with Alex because we’re dating and all.” I say this last part automatically, acknowledging my relationship with Alex has become like second nature to me and now I can say it without cringing or hesitation.

“So it true then?” Daniel asks, his voice sounding tight and strained. “You guys are really a thing?”

“Yeah, totally. It just happened, you know. He was there for me.” I tell Daniel this feeling so much happiness and satisfaction knowing that he’s jealous. I know that I should be the better person and just hold back on rubbing every moment I’ve spent with Alex in Daniel’s face, but I don’t care. I gained the right to stop being the better person the moment he cheated on me with someone else.

Daniel clears his throat and my phone beeps, signaling me that there’s someone else on the line. “Daniel I have to go. There’s someone on the other line.”

“Wait!” Daniel almost shouts into the phone. I’m surprised by the undertone of desperation in his voice. This is Daniel. He’s never desperate. “Can we meet up sometime? I don’t know go out for drinks or something?”

I smile and lean back on the sofa, feeling oh so good about myself. “Sure, why don’t you text me when you want to meet up. I really have to go.” This last part wasn’t a lie. The beeping on my phone kept going and I was guessing that whoever was calling me was calling for the second time, probably getting annoyed by now. So I switched to the other line, not even bothering to say goodbye to Daniel.

“It’s about time. God Fallon, what were you doing? Having a heart to heart with Jesus?” Cassadee’s voice rings through the phone.

“No, I was talking to Daniel.”

There's silence on Cass's line and I don't hear anything except for the sound of quick footsteps and then a door closing. “Shit, no way! What did he want?”

I tell her what happened and how jealous he sounded when I told him that Alex and I were dating. Immediately, Cass knows what I’m planning. “No, no, no, no, you can’t do this Fal. You can’t try to get back together with him.”

I shrug, pulling some lint off the sofa. “I’m not trying to. I just,” I sigh, running a hand through my hair. “I don’t know what I want. I just want him to want me okay? I want him to know how I felt or still feel. I don’t care if it makes me desperate or whatever, but I need to at least feel wanted by someone.”

Cass sighs. “Babe, we all want you. I can tell that Alex wants you so bad.”

I snort at that. “Yeah right, Alex has been more of an asshole than ever.”

And it’s true. When he first left for tour he started calling me almost every night at the same time and at first it was fine. We were fine. We’d make small chit-chat that was still awkward because neither of us had enough pride to get over our last argument, but then the second week of tour rolled around and everything changed. Now when he calls me we barely talk. Instead I just listen to his conversations with other people and then he’ll add in a laugh or a comment when he thinks I’ve said something that deserves it, even though I haven’t.

I know it shouldn’t bother me. Alex ignoring me should be a problem and I shouldn’t even care, but I do. Every night after we get off the phone, I’m left feeling angry and annoyed and hurt that he won’t even talk to me even if we have petty, meaningless conversations. He won’t even try and I’m more fed up than I feel like I should be with it.

“What are you going to do?” Cass asks me after I’ve told her all this.

I sigh, loudly. “I don’t know what to do. I feel like I shouldn’t even be bothered by this, but it bugs me so much. Why do I have to waste my time sitting here, pretending to be good girlfriend, while Alex is on tour doing god knows what to god knows who.”

"Oh he's not doing anyone. Trust me. We've had a few parties and there are always girls threre, pretty enough to make me want to shove my head into a bag, but Alex always turns them down and says he has you."

I don't say anything to that. I don't really think there's anything I can say. If Alex is so "faithful" then why can't he at least put some effort in?

After a few moments of my silence Cass makes a noise that falls between a squeal and a gasp. “You should come here.”

At first I think she’s insane. Come here? On tour with them? Why?

“Think about it Fal, you could come down here. Talk to Alex about it and make him have to chase you to keep up this whole dating facade.”

I could do it. Cass’s plan could work. I could surprise Alex and blackmail him into doing what I want for a change.

I tell Cass that I’ll think about it, but by the end of the day, I’d already started packing.

...

“Alex is gonna be stoked that you're here.” Colussy says, smiling at me as we walk up towards the bus.

I smile back, remembering that the crew doesn’t know that this whole relationship is just pretend.

“I hope he doesn’t get mad that I came to surprise him. I just missed him so much.” I reply sweetly.

Before we make it onto the bus, I spot Jack’s tall frame and messy black hair talking to a group of fans, his hands making wild gestures. “Hey,” I turn to Colussy. “Can you just throw my stuff in any bunk? I think I see Jack and I want to say hi before anyone tells him I’m here.”

Colussy nods and takes my light carry on. “No problem, go ahead.”

I walk over to Jack, careful to be quiet and I make a gesture to the fans to stay quiet as well. “So basically the toilet’s clogged, Alex can’t find his toothbrush, Rian can’t find his pants and Sebatian won't shut the fuck up. I’m like-” Jack stops his story when he sees me behind him, mostly because a girl started to giggle as I made faces.

“Fallon?” Jack says incredulously, a wide grin spreading across his face.

“No don’t stop telling the story. This is the good part.” I say, unable to stop my own grin from spreading across my face.

“Fallon!” Jack hugs me tightly. “What are you doing here?”

I laugh and hug him back. “I missed you.”

Jack smiles again and turns to the group of fans who are watching us curiously. “She just couldn’t stay away.” I roll my eyes, but I’m still smiling when he says, “Basically what you’re saying is that you’ve decided to break up with Alex, because I’m obviously the better option.”

I nod enthusiastically. “Of course Jack, it’s always been you. I was just using Alex to make you jealous.”

“Who used me?” We all turn to face Alex and I can't stop the smug smile from spreading across my face when his eyes widen when he sees me.

“Fallon? What the fuck are you doing here?”

I smile, wider this time and then look at him innocently. “What do you mean Alex? Didn’t you miss me?”
