Baby Besson

Chapter 41

Zach: "Mads are you okay? What happened??"
Mads: I- I don't know.. they just.. they- they came in, found me, and everything cut out. I don't know Zach."
Corbyn: "Did they hurt you?"
Mads: "No im fine Im just- just a little shaken up..."
You realized you were in Zachs arms, shaking.
He pulled you in a little tighter, hugging you.
Zach: "Im just glad your okay."
He let go, letting his hand lay on your back and he pulled away.
You stood up and got dizzy. You never took your meds, so you felt the pain in your stomach, it was bearable, but on top of being dizzy, you immediatly say back down.
Corbyn: "Wait are you okay?"
Mads: "I got dizzy.."
Zach: "You did take your meds right?"
You shook your head no, and Corbyn walked into your bathroom to get your meds. Before he reached the door you yelled.
Mads: "No Corbyn let Za-"
He looked up and saw the heart on the mirror.
He sighed and shook his head grabbing the meds. He threw them in your lap.
Corbyn: "Glad your okay."
He looked angry. He walked out of the room.
Zach: "what jus-"
Mads: "I never wiped it off Zach. The lipstick is still on my mirror."
Zach: "Oh no-"
You sighed, grabbing the water off your vanity, since it was in reach, and took your pill.
Zach: "You rest.. Ill go.. uh, Ill check on him."
You nodded and layed on your bed. Corbyn was in his room so you sat at your desk, which was against the wall you shared between rooms, and listened.

Zach: "Corbyn.. about what was on her mirror.."
Corbyn: "Zach I said wait and you can't. Wow."
Zach: "It said love you, friends say that to eachother. Its not like it said "I" love you."
Corbyn: "I don't care anymore Zach. Just do whatever you want."
Zach: "Corbyn I don't want you to be mad at either of us."
Corbyn: "Im not Zach just go."
Zach: "You are and I know this Corbyn. We live together, I think I can figure it out."
Corbyn: "Zach Im not talking about this for an hour, im not fighting, arguing, nothing. All Im saying is if you dont wait it will fail. And I don't need that for Why Don't We. So do whatever you want Zach, Im not gonna stop you. But I have full ability to be upset. End of story."

It went quiet. You moved back to your bed and sighed. You were why this was happening. If you had never come back into the boys lives, they would have been better off. Zach came back in and looked at you sympothetically.
Mads: "Im going back to virgina."
Zach: "Wait what?"
Mads: "I can't keep coming between you guys. You lived better when I didn't exsist in your world."
Zach: "What are you talking about?"
Mads: "I heard your conversation in there. I don't need my brother to hate his bandmates."
Zach: "Please don't go back Madelyn."
Mads: "Give me one good reason Zach!"
Zach: "Daniel."
You went quiet.
If you never met Daniel, you would have never gotten Corbyn to lay off of you.
Zach: "Music."
If you never met the boys, you would have never wrote that song. Or the chorus you started.
Zach: "Dance."
If you never came to L.A you would have never won nationals, or to be fair, even gotten a solo at it.
Zach: "Do I need to go on?
You shook your head.
Zach: "So please stay."
You thought for a second.
Mads: "Fine Zach. Fine. But if there is one more fight, or argument, or silent treatment over me, im going back."
Zach: "Deal"
He sat down next to you, putting his hand on your knee. You pushed it off.
Mads: "Zach no."
Zach ran his hand through his hair.
You sat there in silence, and your phone rang. It was an unknown number, but you answered.

Mads: "hello?"
??: "This isnt over."
Mads: "Grant if you call again im calling the cops. Leave me alone."

You hung up.
Zach: "he doesn't give up does he?"
Mads: "Not easily no.."
Zach: "hes a butt."
Your face looked pale, but your eyes focused on the wall in front of you.
Zach: "Mads?"
Zach: "Mads hello?"
Mads: "I can't do that again Zach."
Zach: "What?"
Mads: "I can't let him do that to me again."
Zach: "wait what are you talking about?"
Mads: "It took months to get away from him. Months Zach. All he did was hit me. And pretend I had no emotions."
Zachs face fell.
Zach: "He hit you!?"
You nodded, looking down into your lap.
Zach: "I won't let him do that again Madelyn. I won't let him near you."
Mads: "I don't need you to do that Zach. I can defend myself, the only reason I couldn't was because im injured."
Zach: "You can't constantly rely on yourself, things happen Madelyn, we all need someone else sometimes."
Mads: "Maybe you do."
Zach: "Mads you can't only have yourself."
Mads: "watch me."
he sighed, not wanting to say anymore. All he did was hug you, and you allowed it. You allowed your fear, your sadness, everything from this night to come flooding out. By the time Zach let go, his shirt was soaked, and stained with Mascara, as well as your face. He stayed there, letting you. You layed back into your pillows, and dug your head into his chest. Not caring that you were about to sleep in makeup, not caring what anyone thought, you closed your eyes. It was only 6, so you were just closing your eyes to take a nap.. right?
You woke up, looking at the clock. 2am. Well that worked-
You looked over, seeing Zach, sleeping peacefully. Wait no this can't be happening, Corbyn won't allo-
Corbyn: "Go back to sleep. Its early."
You looked up meeting eyes with him, and his watery eyes and tear stained face.
You got out of bed, careful not to wake the sleeping herron.
You walked out into the halllway, closing your door.
Mads: "Bubby whats wrong?"
You reached up wiping a tear off of him.
Corbyn: "Nothing, just go back to bed its fine."
Mads: "Bubby you never cry, talk to me."
Corbyn: "Neither do you.."
Mads: "Not the point."
You drug him down stairs to sit on the couch. 2am feeling talks. Cringey, but they worked.
Mads: "Talk to me."
Corbyn stayed silent for a moment, before letting out a cry.
Corbyn: "What if he got you mads? What if we didn't get home when we did?"
Mads: "But he didn't. You did, and thats all that matters."
