The Rose//Mason Thames

Chapter 8~The Confession

A/N: I'm so sry I haven't posted recently I've just been rly busy with my school and stuff and on top of that I won't have my phone for a week after school so that sucks🫤if you want to know why I'll explain in one of my community posts but here's a chapter bc...yeah...ENJOY!

We got home and everyone went to sit down on the couch.

"Ok so...I um..." Mason looked nervous. He shot me a worried look and I went and sat next to him grabbing his hand and holding it tightly.

"It's gonna be ok, I promise." I whispered softly into his ear.

"I...I self harm." You could hear the pain and worry in his voice.

"Oh Mason." Madeline said, running over to him crying, and giving him a hug.

"I'm sorry." Tears started to fall from his eyes to his cheeks.

"It's ok Mason. Look, I just want you to know that we're all here for you, ok?" Miguel said, walking over.

"Ok, thank you for being so nice about it. I just didn't want you guys to be mad or leave me or something."

"We would never do that buddy. We love you no matter what you say or do." Brady said, as he walked over as well with Tristan not far behind.

"I-I-I gotta go." I said running upstairs to Mason's room and locking myself in the bathroom. I could hear faint yells but I couldn't make out what they were saying. They were getting louder and louder. I started to feel guilty.

"I shouldn't have eaten that ice cream." I thought. "You're fat enough! Why did you have to eat that? You know that you're fat so why did you eat it?!" All I could think about was how fat I am. I got up and looked at myself in the mirror. I burst into tears and ran over to the toilet. I put my fingers down my throat and forced myself to throw up, thinking that that was the only I could get skinnier. I heard some more banging and yelling and realized that someone was at the bathroom door. Mason.

"ELIZABETH! PLZ DON'T DO THIS! ELIZABETH!" He shouted.

I could hear other people asking questions and murmuring in the background. Suddenly, it all stopped. No more noise, no more talking, not more banging, nothing. All of a sudden the door was flying open and Mason came over and hugged me as tight as he could.

"Please don't do that to me." He said, sobbing into my hair.

"I'm sorry Mae Mae." It broke me inside knowing that I had caused him to worry about me so much that he had to literally kick down his door.

"It's ok. Just please don't do that again."

"Ok. I'll try."

"What happened Elizabeth?" Miguel said squatting down in front of me.

"Not right now Micky. I'll tell you later." Mason said picking me up off the ground so that we were standing. "Right now we need to get her cleaned up."

I nuzzled my head into Mason's chest as he told the others to leave so that I could take a shower.

"Hey," he said, pulling me away from his chest so he could look at me. "Look at me. Elizabeth, I don't know why you do this to yourself but I want you to know that I'll always be here for you, ok? I don't ever want you to feel like you're going through this alone." He grabbed me con and kissed all over my cheek making me slightly giggle.

"Ok now...um...you're gonna take a shower and I'm gonna go downstairs with the rest of the guys, ok?" He said, walking over to the tub.

"Umm...Mae Mae?"

"Yes?"

"Can you...can you stay here please."

"Of course." He started the shower for me and gave me a kiss on the cheek before he left.

I got in the shower and started crying. I was trying to be quiet but it didn't work. Mason knocked on the door. "Are you ok?" He said softly.

"Yeah. I just feel terrible, and my throat hurts and I feel dizzy."

"Do you want to turn the water dow- ELIZABETH!"

Masons pov

"Do you want to turn the water dow-" I couldn't even get the full sentence out before she had fallen out of the shower and onto the floor. "ELIZABETH!" I ran downstairs to get Madeline and luckily Becca had just arrived. "GUYSELIZABETHFELLOUTOFTHESHOWERANDNOWSHESONETHEFLOORANDIDONTKNOWWHATTODOANDIDONTWANTTOGOBACKINTHEREBECAUSESHENAKEDANDINEEDYOUGUYSTOHELPHERPLEASE!" I screamed running down the stairs.

"Ok ok calm down. Now tell us what happened." Becca said, putting her stuff down and walking over to me.

"JUST GO TO MY FUCKING BATHROOM QUICKLY!" I yelled. I couldn't control myself. I was so scared. What was gonna happen to Elizabeth? Is she gonna be ok? Does she have a concussion? Could I have stopped it from happening? I was snapped back to reality when someone started snapping in my face

"Earth to Mason. What happened? We heard you say something about Elizabeth, is she ok?"

"S-she was taking a shower and I heard her c-c-crying so I knocked on the door to talk to her and see if she was ok. She said she felt d-d-dizzy and-and-and then all of a sudden she fell to the floor and I didn't know what to do because it felt weird for me to go help her when I knew she didn't have any clothes on a-and so now I'm scared that something happened." I couldn't contain my sobs anymore and it all just came flooding out.

"GUYS! SHES OK!" I hear Madeline yell.

I book it upstairs and run straight into my room. She was sitting on the bed. She sat in a towel on my bed, her hair wet, her face looked pale, her eyes were almost shut, and it looked like she hadn't eaten in weeks. I run over to her and engulf her in a hug. We stayed like that for awhile before she said she wanted to put some clothes on so I gave her a a pair of my pants and one of my shirts.
