got this idea from a comment idk who commented it tho. i highly recommend listening to without me by Eminem while reading this. it makes the story like 20 times better. also i added that vance thats attachment issues very easily and thats why he always misses u

your pov

i was currently in the grab in go buying chips. i was super bored and hungry so thats why. i look over and see Vance hopper playing the pinball machine. i calculated the math and hes spent almost 200 dollars on it.

" shit im out of coins" he says and asks people if they have any. " you" he says and points at me. he starts walking towards me. " you got any quarters?" he asks. " yes but im gonna need something in return Vance" i say. "what do u want" he asks

well i could ask him to pay for my chips but i have always been picked on by my friends and other people for being so popular but not having a boyfriend. " ill give you 20 quarters if you be my fake boyfriend" i say quietly. his eyes widen.

" fine ill do it. give me the quarters and ill give you my number" he says quietly. i give him the coins and he grabs a piece of paper and writes his number on it. " thanks babe" i say sarcastically and wink as he turns bright red. " y-yeah what you said" he says stuttering and trying to hide his smirk. i give him my number as well.

i pay for my stuff and walk home. i open the door and see my brother watching tv. i give him a bag of chips as he smiles and thanks me. i smile back and go up to my room. i hear the phone ring upstairs

" y/n its for you" my brother yells at me. i groan and get out of bed. " who is it" i ask him. " its um.. Vance hopper" he says nervously. my eyebrows widen as i take the phone. my brother stands there wanting to hear the conversation i shoo him away and he puts his hands up in defence and walks away.

" hey" he says and i say hi back. " im suprised you arent still at the grab in go playing pinball till 9:30" i say suprised. " yeah well- i wanted to talk to you" he says quietly and unsure " oh my god does the Vance hopper have a soft spot for me?" i say and we both laugh

" so like for the fake boyfriend stuff at school do we kiss hold hands and hug?" he says confused. " i mean if you want. we just have to do this until my friends and other people believe me. " i tell him

" ok cool. so after we just have to fake break up or what?" he says. " well i was thinking that we tell them we decided to just stay friends so they you know dont send you death wishes" i tell him. " alr cool. ill see you at school tomorrow" he tells me. i nod and say bye and hang up.

time skip cause im listening to music and keep getting distracted 

i wake up and actually try to make myself look good. i put on makeup and some tight jeans and a tank top. i brush my teeth and hair and grab my converse. i say bye to my mom and rush to school. usually i dont give a fuck about how i look so i just wear sweatpants and a oversized hoodie. surprisingly i was still popular even tho i dress like a homeless person.

so today i was late because it took me a while to actually look nice. once i get there i see Vance. he looks like hes waiting for someone. he looks up and looks like a giant weight has been lifted off his shoulder.

" hey babe" he says loud enough for everyone to hear. everyone gasps and looks at us. " what dipshits." he says and i laugh as he grabs my hand and we walk in the school. everyone turns there head and stares with their jaws on the ground.

we walk to my locker and their still staring. " babe- i mean y/n their staring" he says whispering. " keep playing along its fine" i say and he nods. i put my backpack in the locker then he grabs my face and kisses me. i kiss back

we turn around and everyone is still staring shocked. " what am i not allowed to kiss my boyfriend?" i say and they quickly turn around and grab their books and run off to class. " ill see you after math?" i ask and he nods and smiles

i smile back and walk to math. "man i miss Vance.. wait what! hes your fake boyfriend. i mean he is such a good kisser. his lips are so soft and his eyes and nose and hair and ears and- k this is getting wierd" i say thinking then shake my head and open the door to math

everyone looks at me and i go to sit down. " y/n is it true your dating vance?" robin says. " yeah? why wouldnt it be true" i say and he shakes his head. " god you always go for the worst kids possible" he says and i look at him and my jaw drops.

" vance isnt bad! you just dont like him cause you want to be the toughest boy in school you jerk" i say and we both laugh.

throughout math class people have been walking up to me asking if the relationship is real. when i say yes their eyebrows raise and they tell me congrats. i smile and look down

time skip to after school.

i walk out of class and feel two people pull me. " god fucking damn it y/n. you had to date vance!! out of everyone.. you chose the ugliest mustiest crustiest boy ever. hes so fucking ugly. i will be praying for your recovery" ava says and gags after saying his name. 

" true.. were your best friends and we want the best for you. vance is not it. everytime i look at the boy my lunch comes up my throat! hes fugly. his hair looks like a rats nest and his voice makes me want to rip my face out" zoe says.

" oh shut up. hes cute and nice. i love him and trust me you guys telling me hes ugly wont make me change my mind" i say. " ok then. i am conviced you have the worst taste in men ever" zoe says and ava nods.

" you guys are so annoying" i say and we all laugh. i look behind me and see vance standing there looking like a lost dog. " uh guys give me a couple minutes" i say and they turn around and see me walking towards vance. 

" i feel bad for her" Ava says and Zoe agrees as they find a place to wait for me at.

i walk towards Vance. " you ok?" i say and he looks at me and smiles. " i just missed you" he says and hugs me. " Vance no ones looking at us we dont have to pretend" i say and he lets go. he looks down. " i wasn't pretending" he says. " oh in that case keep hugging me then" i say and he smiles and immediately attaches himself onto me.

i hug him back and we stay like that for a minute. " i should go back to my friends their staring at us" i say whispering then i kiss him. he grabs my cheek and kisses me back and we both smile then go back to our friends

" not gonna lie whatever just happened over there was kind of super adorable." Ava says. " i knoww. i shouldn't be agreeing but it was cute" Zoe says ashamed of herself for agreeing. "maybe Vance is just cute" i say shrugging. "NO" they both say at the same time.

" okay then" i say and we walk to art since we want to be early and its our next class. i have Vance in that class and im super happy about it. " yay Vance is in this class" i say. " oh my god wow your husband is in this class" Zoe says and does jazz hands and opens her mouth.

me and ava laugh and then once the bell rings we walk in. " hello girls. please stand at the wall were going to be changing spots" the teacher says and we walk to the wall. then vance shows up. surprisingly hes one of the first since hes always at least ten minutes late. he comes to the wall and stands beside me and we smile at eachother

when all the students are here the teacher calls the rows out. " front row. y/n,vance.ava,zoe and donna" the teacher says and we all get so excited since were friends. i look at vance and hes blushing and trying to hide his smirk

once the other rows get called out we sit down. i move my desk closer to vances. our knees are touching but we dont move them

time skip to when its time to go home

after school vance offers to walk me home. i agree and we hold hands. we start talking about our day. about how school sucks and why we should burn it down next year. once we get to my house vance says goodbye and lets go of my hand. " can i hug you" he asks. i nod my head and laugh " vance you dont need my consent to hug me. trust me i love hugs" i say and we both smile and he hugs me tight.

" ill see you tomorrow" he says and leaves. i walk inside smiling and blushing like a idiot. " damn. are you dating vance hopper or does he have a massive soft spot for you" my brother asks. " yeah whats up with you two. i saw you guys holding hands" my mom says.

" well all im gonna say is that im no longer single" i say and go to my room as my mom and brother cheer

time skip to like 8:30. TW! abuse

im in the living room watching tv. suddenly i hear the phone ring so i go to pick it up. " hello?" i say. " hi y/n" vance says crying. " shit vance are you ok?" i ask. " no.. can i please come over to your house i need you right now" he says. " of course my mom wont mind" i say and he thanks me and hangs up. i sit there wondering what happened to him

ten minutes later i hear a knock on the door. i open it and see bruises all over his body. cuts on his face and arms and blood on his nose and eyebrow. my jaw drops and he hugs me and cries into my shoulder. i hug him back and close the door with my foot.

" lets go to my room" i say almost whispering and he nods. we get to my room and i sit him down on my bed. i grab a wet washcloth and start cleaning the cuts all over his body. he tells me that theres some under his shirt and he lifts it up,

once im done i give him one of my oversized t shirts and shorts. he thanks me. i get into bed and he does as well. i pull him onto my chest so his head is laying there. his arms wrap around my waist. i start to rub his back. " what happened?" i ask.

" sometimes my dad gets drunk and he takes all of his anger out on me. i try to fight back but i just freeze out of fear and get to scared to throw a punch back." he says. 

" its okay vance. spend the night here and maybe even tomorrow night." i say as he nods. " y/n can i tell you something?" he asks me and i nod. "ive never been like this around someone. when im not with you i always think about you and miss you. i feel comfortable and feel like i can trust you with secrets like my dad. ive never came to anyone else for help with cleaning my cuts. your diffrent. i think i love you" he says and looks up at me. 

" i feel the same way. ive never loved anyone before. fuck i dont even know what it feels like. but when im with you i smile more and my heart beats faster. ive never let another boy walk me home or kiss me in front of the school. i love you to vance" i tell him and we both smile

" let me be your boyfriend. not a fake one." he says and i agree. he kisses me and i kiss back then we close our eyes and go to sleep

sorry for it getting bad at the end. im just really tierd and my friends started leaving me out again so i just have no motivation for anything anymore. anyways i hope you like thisss it took me like two days but anyways
