Only for you (GxG)

Chapter 35.

Megan's POV

"Megan I'm getting better, I am,"

"That's what you said last time," I mumbled as I sat on the couch.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry that I put you through everything,"

I put my head down.

"What's wrong sweetheart?" My mom asked as she sat next to my dad.

"I'm just so tired of the apologizing all the time," I breathed.

"I'm trying,"

He's always trying. Always.

It's never he did it or he accomplished or got over it.

We always get here but never get over the "I'm trying" stage.

"Yeah, I know,"

"What's wrong?" My mom asked me, leaning closer into me while rubbing my knee.

"Nothing,"

I can see my parents getting closer and I love to see it, my mom is out glue. I just want everything to be how it was when I was a child. Maybe things will go back to how they were soon but having to get there takes forever.

We spoke even longer, my mom was making sure we communicated with each other. She's like an unofficial therapist, but we need her.

"You're so angry with me Megan, why?" My fathers voice was calm.

"Is this a trick question?" I asked. I don't mean to be disrespectful or to come off in that way.

It's like he thinks an apology would fix everything and it doesn't.

"I know I've made mistakes but I'm tr-"

"Trying," I finished his sentence for him, "I understand that. I think I'm all done with this conversation for today," I looked up

"Okay, that's okay," my mom assured me

"I'm going to go pick up Normani from dance," I got up from the couch and headed towards the kitchen to make my way through the day.

"Megan," I heard my fathers voice

"Yeah?"

"We're going to make this better soon okay? Just stick with me here don't give up on me," he said weakly.

A tear was brought to my eye.

I wrapped my arms around him for a hug.

He hugged me back and he smelled like cologne. I exhaled and a small smile formed from my lips.

"I love you dad,"

"I love you more,"

I went outside to my car and drove to Normani's school. I texted her letting her know I was here.

I saw her walking out of the building, she look paranoid. And like she's been crying.

"Bear what's wrong you okay?" I held her hand once she got into the car

She nodded, wiping her face with her other hand.

"Yeah, I just wanna go home,"

I nodded, I drove to her house and it was silent. I kept her hand in mine the whole ride. Not letting go, not once.

I pulled into her driveway.

"Can I stay?" I asked her

"Please?" She asked lightly

We both got out the car and headed inside.

"Hi," I walked inside after Normani closing the door behind me.

"Normani is everything okay?" Gma G asked her and she ate at the table

"Yeah just a hard day, way too long," she smiled softly

"Hi Megan," Regina walked into the kitchen

"Hi Regina, is there anything you need me to help out with?"

"Not really I was about to have Normani wash up these dishes,"

"I got it, bear you can take your shower and I'll meet you in your room,"

"Thank you," she came over to kiss my cheek before she made it upstairs.

As I was washing the dishes I could tell Gma G was staring into my soul.

"Is there anything I could help you with?" I asked, trying my everything to make sure no attitude was laced into what I was saying.

"What'd you do to have Normani crying like she was the other day?"

"We got into a bit of a misunderstanding, but we're good now,"

"Mhm. Well Megan I don't like you for her,"

"To be fair ma'am, Normani is her own woman and she is very vocal about the fact that I am what she wants for herself,"

"Alright we're not even going to get into all of that, Megan would you like anything to eat?" Regina interrupted as she wiped down the stove top.

"Oh no thank you, I have no appetite,"

"Well thank you for helping me  clean, I really do appreciate it," Regina came over to kiss my forehead

"I always appreciate how much you care for her, she needs it. You're like a daughter to me, I'm always here for you okay?"

"Thank you," I smiled. This means more than she could know.

Once I finished up the dishes , Gma G and Regina were settled in the living room. I made my way up to Manis room.

"Hi baby," I entered the room and saw her laying down in her bed.

"Hi bubs,"

I walked over to her bed and got under her covers. I held her in my arms, honestly she fit there nice.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked her

"Megan?"

"Yes my love,"

"Do you think I'm ugly?"

"Baby what? You are so beautiful you know that,"

I rubbed over stomach , and her thighs.

"Would I be prettier if I were lighter?"

I backed from her slightly, allowing her to turn to me so she could look at me clearly.

"You are perfect in your skin, your dark skin is beautiful," I rubbed over her eyebrows , cupping her face.

"How could you ask me this? How could you think like that?" A wave of disbelief came from my tone.

She closed her eyes , letting her head rest in my hands.

"Bear," I tried again

"Hm?"

"Did somebody make you feel this way?"

Her eyes fluttered. "Can you hold me?" She asked.

I moved close to her, holding her body so close to mine, I rested my chin on her forehead.

I held her hands and played with each finger.

"You are so beautiful," I whispered to her.

I won't let her forget that.

"Thank you bubba,"

I kissed her forehead and rubbed her hand with mine once more.

I could tell she was dozing off. I let her fall asleep in my arms, admiring how at peace she looks when she's sleeping.
