**Chapter 13: "Making it Official"**

As we returned to LA, Will and I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness. We had talked about our feelings, and we both knew that we were on the same page. But now, it was time to take the next step and make our relationship public. We had been avoiding the paparazzi and the media, but we knew that it was only a matter of time before they caught wind of our relationship. So, we decided to take matters into our own hands and make a statement. One morning, Will and I sat down in his living room, laptops open in front of us. We had decided to share a post on social media, announcing our love for each other to the world. We both knew that it was a big step, but we were ready. As we typed out our statement, I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation. What would our fans think? Would they be supportive, or would they be critical? But Will took my hand, and his calm demeanor reassured me. "We're in this together, Jess," he said, smiling at me. "We're happy, and that's all that matters." I nodded, feeling a surge of confidence. Together, we crafted a sweet and simple post, announcing our love for each other. We shared a photo of us smiling and embracing, with the caption: "We're thrilled to share our love with the world. We're happy, and we're grateful for every moment we spend together." As we hit post, I felt a rush of emotions. It was like a weight had been lifted off our shoulders. We had made our relationship official, and we were ready to face whatever came next. The response was overwhelming. Our fans and followers flooded our social media pages with congratulations and well-wishes. The media was quick to pick up the story, and soon we were trending on every platform. Will and I were bombarded with interview requests and public appearances, but we were happy to oblige. We were in a bubble of happiness, and we wanted to share it with the world. As we navigated the chaos of our new public relationship, Will and I were grateful for each other's support. We were in this together, and we knew that we could face anything as long as we had each other. One of the first interviews we did was with a popular entertainment magazine. We sat down together, holding hands and smiling at each other. The interviewer asked us about our relationship, and we both gushed about how much we loved each other. "We're just taking things one day at a time," Will said, smiling at me. "We're enjoying every moment we spend together, and we're grateful for the love we share." I nodded in agreement. "We're happy, and that's all that matters," I said. "We're not worried about what the future holds. We're just living in the moment, and enjoying each other's company." The interviewer smiled, and we could tell that she was happy for us. "You two are adorable," she said. "I'm sure our readers will love you both even more now." As we left the interview, Will and I felt like we were on cloud nine. We were in love, and we were sharing it with the world. We knew that there would be ups and downs, but we were ready to face them together. For now, we just wanted to enjoy this moment, and bask in the happiness of our love. We walked hand in hand, smiling at each other, and knowing that our future was bright.
