If only I knew |Nick Nelson|

Chapter Fourteen

| Grace Cameron POV|

I'm almost home... After Nick basically saved me I felt like a horrible person.

I missed practice which I'll probably get into trouble for but I'll ask my dad to call me in sick or something.

I just want everything to go away everything that happened with Ben...

I just don't want people to worry about me.. I'm not some fragile thing that needs to be fixed when it's broken if you get what I mean.

I just felt..... violated... manipulated even.

There's just so much... and I need it to go away!

When I reach my front door I unlock it and walk into the kitchen.

" G is that you?" My mom shouted from the living room.

" yeah it's me! I wasn't feelin so good so I walked home!" I yelled to her grabbing some ice cream out of the freezer.

" oh okay! Let me know if you need anything!" She yelled I hummed which in the moment I didn't realize she couldn't hear me.

I got some ice cream and went downstairs to my room.

I ate the ice cream then decided to sleep.

I'm not sure why I feel this was I've never felt it before it's like being sad but to a whole new level.

Okay so I'm depressed definitely. But I'm hoping sleep will fix that.

I got comfortable and it didn't take me long to fall asleep.

———————

I Hurd my bedroom door burst open and I jumped out of my sleep.

What the hell??

Grant and Josh were both standing there.

" what the fuck Grace!" Josh yelled at me.

" what?!" I'm so confused right now.

" mom and dad are going to want to talk to you about it a-and I don't know what exactly happened but I need you to let me know if he ever goes near you again." Josh said with glossy eyes.

My stomach dropped.

" .... Who.." I mumbled.

Josh stared at me for a moment.

" Ben hope." He said not taking his eyes off mine.

I felt my body go numb.

"o-oh my god...." I ran my fingers through my hair feeling my throat getting tighter

Josh walked up to me.

"Calm down it's just them in the living room.." he said grabbing my arm gently.

" just them?" I mumbled. "Just mom dad..." he said.

I could feel the tears streaming down my face.

" ... I can't.." I started sobbing.

Josh hugged me and didn't let go for awhile.

" I'm so sorry he hurt you." Josh whispered and kissed my forehead.

" we all love you Grace..." Grant finally spoke up.

" there waiting ." Josh whispered.

I nodded and stood up.

I sobbed the whole time I walked up the stairs Josh holding my hand. Telling me I'm okay and he's got me.

When we reached the living room I seen my parents on the couch.

My mom was crying... my dad was to.. how do they know?

When my mom seen me crying she immediately jumped up and ran to hug me.

I sobbed and she held me.

Then I sat on the couch and told my family everything that happened with Ben.

———————-

That night I cried myself to sleep in the arms of my mother and hoped the next morning things would be back to normal.

She hadn't left my side since I told her everything.

I finally fell asleep then woke up suddenly.

I looked around the dark room and got dragged into my thoughts.

An hour went by then two and I finally realized I'd been staring at the wall the whole time.

I just want go away...

| Nick Nelson POV |

I walked home and found my mum pacing around the kitchen.

"Nicky what happened baby?" My mum asked me concerned.

" I um... I just lost it.." I said looking at her.

" why did you fight Ben? Of all people I thought you guys were great friends.." she said sweetly.

I shook my head.

" he's not my friend. What he did.... He didn't feel bad for. This isn't the first time he's done it either. And that made me mad.. the person he hurt. She's absolutely amazing." I looked up at my mum.

" well, I'm sure you had good reason so I'm not going to lecture you about it but if anything else like this happens again please let me know." She told me.

" I will ." I told her. She smiled and handed me an ice pack.

I headed upstairs to my room and flopped onto my bed.

I rolled over and went onto Instagram.

I got a new notification.

Grace_Cameron14 started following you

I followed her back and laid my phone down. I hope Grace is okay... I'll message her tomorrow.

Hopefully she answers.

I need her to be okay.
