Baby Besson

Chapter 24

After Daniel didn't come back for a while you assumed he got swept away in the crowd. So you and Jack went to go find him. Jack was looking around and your eyes spotted him. Another girl, all over him. He pushed her off, but then she got all over him again, and they kissed. You couldn't tell if he kissed back because you looked away fast enough. Jack found him, and looked at you. You were staring blankly at a wall.
Jack: "Mads?"
Mads: "Tell Daniel I went home."
You walked out with anger, and sadness, not knowing which emotion is taking over. You got in your car and figured Daniel could ride with the boys.
You walked into your room and flung your keys on your desk, threw your phone down on your bed, and sat down at your vanity. How could he do this? Did he push her off when she kissed him or did he kiss her back? So many thoughts were going through your mind when you heard a car pull up. You knew Jack told the boys and they all came home. You got up and closed your door and locked it.
You heard the front door swing open, then slam.
Corbyn: "DANIEL YOUR AN IDIOT I SWEAR TO GOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO HER? SHE SAW YOU DANIEL."
Daniel: "Corbyn I pushed her off, that girl was drunk, she was all over me and she kissed me. I didn't kiss back!"
Corbyn: "GO DANIEL. GO SOMEWHERE I DON'T CARE BUT I DON'T WANT YOU IN FRONT OF ME."
You heard them fighting, but you sat there. Hiding all emotion. Staring in your mirror. You didn't cry, although you wanted to, if someone wanted to come in, you didn't want them to see you in a horrible state. You let all anger take over, so that you wouldn't cry, next thing you knew, you got up, and threw all the pillows off your bed, and you turned around and punched the wall. You hit it so hard there was a hole when you were done. Corbyn heard thuds against the walls, so he ran up to your door and tried to open it, but it was still locked.
Corbyn: "Madelyn?? Open the door!"
Mads: "WHAT DO YOU WANT CORBYN?"
Corbyn: "Mads open the door."
You unlocked it and he opened it slowly, revealing pillows all over the floor, and he looked over next to your bed where you punched the hole.
He looked at you, angry but sympothetic.
Corbyn: "mads.."
You plopped on your bed, and it came. All the waterworks you wanted to avoid. He walked over and sat next to you, pulling you into a hug.
Corbyn: "He didn't kiss back, he pushed her off."
Mads: "Sure didn't look like it."
Corbyn: "He didn't for a second.. He didn't realize what was going on. He was in shock. Once he realized what was happening he shoved her off."
You just sat there, in your brothers arms for a couple minutes.
Daniel knocked on your door.
Corbyn got up and walked into the hall way.
Corbyn: "She isn't doing well..."
Daniel walked in.
Dani: "Baby?'
Mads: "Don't"
Daniel: "Babe I pushed her off as soon as I realized what was happening."
Mads: "But you let it get to that point Daniel. Why didn't you walk away in the first place?'
Daniel: "I thought she was just being friendly."
Mads: "Friendly? Daniel she was all over you. Thats a lot more than freindly"
Daniel: "Babe-"
Mads: "Stop Daniel. Use your brain. Im starting to believe you don't have one."
Daniel: "Im sorry, I took a second to process everything happening, so it took a second to push her off."
Mads: "Or was it, it took a second to push her off because you liked it? Daniel Im not stupid."
Daniel: "Madelyn thats not what happened."
Mads: "Well maybe Ive been told the same thing before. And guess what? All it was, was him trying to cover for himself. Lying to me. But guess what I believed him."
Daniel: "Who?"
You scoffed.
Mads: "My ex... I did everything for him. We spent everyday together. I let him do things to me..because I didn't know how to defend myself and when he cheated I didn't realize it."
Daniel: "wait what did he do?"
You slowly lifted your shirt, revealing a scar across your rib cage.
Daniel: "He... hit you..?"
You nodded and cringed thinking of what happened.
Daniel: "Oh my god. Babe I would never cheat on you. Or hit you. That is not how you treat a woman."
He went to pull you into a hug, but you wouldn't let him.
Daniel rubbed your back a little and got up.
He stopped at the door way and turned around.
Daniel: "I love you mads."
Mads: "Love you."
Daniel didn't get 8 letters. He only got 7. And there is a huge difference of meaning without that one letter. You knew exactly what you were saying.
He looked down and walked out of the room with a sigh.
He closed the door behind him and you went to the bathroom, looking at the makeup running down your face. You got in the shower, and changed into some leggings and a baggy tshirt, and layed down, realizing the shirt was Daniels. You didn't want to get back up. You layed there. A million thoughts going through your head. Drowning in thoughts about yourself. About Daniel. About Your relationship.
You got up and walked over to your vanity, and began writing things down. After a couple minutes, you had a chorus of a song. Who knew all you needed to write a song was a night full of anger and pain?
