Trial And Error

Chapter Thirteen

Madison's POV

She stormed further into the tour bus, "You're not listening to me!" Madison bellowed beyond frustrated at the man in front of her.

The musician was exhausted; they'd just finished performing, and now was her time to unwind, and relax. That wasn't happening because of the man, whom she now regrettably calls her boyfriend. She honestly couldn't remember how they got into this fight in the first place. Nathan had flown down from Los Angeles to "support" his girlfriend. But Madison doubted that due to the fact that he had barely contacted her since the start of the tour. Which narrowed it down to one reason and one reason only: he was here for PR.

They now stood alone in her tour bus, thankfully away from any prying eyes or ears. Everyone steered clear, knowing that the influencer was here. Madison stood on the far end of the bus, towards her bedroom, while Nathan stood on the opposite end, near the entrance, as if he needed an escape route. With how thin Madison's patience was, he might actually use it. She leaned up against the wall, crossing her arms.

"Yes, I am! You're mad because I'm favoring my career over yours." Nathan announced, waving his hands around.

Madison pinched the bridge of her nose, "That's not what I'm saying! For months, we've been arguing over this, and each time, you somehow manage to not hear what I'm saying."

The blonde groaned, "How many times do I have to tell you that I get it, okay?"

"As many times as it takes for you to get it through your thick skull. I'm not asking you to put a pause on your career or anything. And I'm not saying you're favoring your career over mine. What I'm saying is that you don't care about me or our relationship. "

Nathan huffed his shoulder, deflating, "I do care! Of course, I care, why else would I fly to be here with you?" he grumbled

"Because your fucking manager thought it'd be a good idea that you be seen with me!" She cursed copying his earlier movements.

"That's not the only reason."

"But it's one of them?" She guessed furious.

"So what if it was? Why would it matter?"

She stared at him in disbelief. She'd never thought he

"You are something else."

"Madison wait, I'm sorry that came out wrong." He attempted to apologize stepping closer trying his best to close the distance. Madison wouldn't allow it though taking a step back herself to send a message.

Madison crossed her arms, "I doubt it." She told him with a scowl

"Can you just slow down for a second and please listen to me."

"I've been listening, Nathan, for months!"

"PR was not the only reason why I came! I came because I missed my girlfriend, one who I haven't seen in weeks."

"Whose fault is that?"

"Fair enough, but you know how busy I've been."

"Yeah, I do. Funny how you still don't see what the problem is."

"What's the problem then!"

"Oh my god, Nathan, I'm telling you one more time, and that's it. Every time you've been busy, I've taken time out of my own busy schedule to come see you. I come over to your house or attend whatever event or party you need me at. Unlike you, I do it because you're my boyfriend and I care about you."

He took a step forward, "But you don't love me?"

Madison's eyebrows furrowed in confusion and annoyance, "Out of everything I just said, you ask me that?"
