Chapter 6

Libby was crying.

She had come straight into work, avoided Diane and Chris and locked herself inside the lost and found. She couldn’t deal with what had happened, the papers, the magazines and especially the internet...they hated her. Everywhere she looked all she found were nasty comments, vile and degrading. Things about her hair, her weight, even things about her race. Everyone was sure about one thing though and that was that she wasn’t good enough for Andrew.

Libby smashed her fists against the desk as the tears poured down her face. She cared so much about him, she might even have loved him, but she couldn’t live like this. If Libby was sure of one thing it was that nobody had a right to say these things about her, like they knew her, like they knew her relationship. It made her feel like less of a person, like she was an accessory to be scrutinized and criticized. Libby wouldn’t stand for it.

“Fuck them,” Libby cried out, a ragged broken scream.

“Libby,” Came a soft voice, as the door slowly opened. “Libby…are you okay?”

Libby turned round, it was Andrew. His eyes were red, circled with a dark shadow and his skin looked pale and worn.

“No, I’m not fucking okay,” Libby replied, her voice barely a whisper. “I’m not doing it Andrew…I’m not… I can’t…..fuck.”

Libby sank to the floor, hyperventilating. She tried to talk, but the words caught in her throat.

Andrew knelt down next to her. “What those people said...Libby you need to understand, that’s not reality…that’s not you.” Gently, he took her face in his hands and wiped the tears from her eyes. This only made her cry harder.

“I love you Andrew. I do. Fuck if I would have gone on if I didn’t. But I can’t do that again.”

Andrew’s body stiffened, “What do you mean?”

“How can we have a relationship if every time we’re in public I have to pretend to be someone I’m not? How am I supposed to put on an act every fucking day, and then get fucking humiliated for it?” She rose from the table, shaking with anger. “I can’t do it Andrew. I can’t do it!”

“It’s only for…”

“No Andrew, it’s not only for the fucking cameras,” she spat. “You know as well as I do that I’ll have to keep doing this every single time I leave the fucking apartment. That’s why you designed the costumes, isn’t it!?”

Andrew let out a long sigh. For a moment, he looked like he wanted to say something else. But he didn’t instead he turned around. “Stay here, I’ll be right back.”

Libby didn’t respond. Instead she sank back down to the floor, curled her arms around her knees and sobbed harder. She loved Andrew so much, but she didn’t know how she could cope with any of what was happening.

True to his word Andrew returned shortly, only now he was carrying a laptop under his arms.

“Libby stop crying,” he instructed, opening it up. “I want to show you something.”

It took her a few moments to collect herself.
