TW~Vaping, bad mental health, mentions of having suicidal thoughts.

Matt's POV

"Matt!" Nick shouted as him and Chris ran down the stairs to where I was in the kitchen.

"What? what's wrong?" I asked in concern as my brothers looked shocked.

"Y/N's vaping in her room, she told us not to tell you, but we're worried." Chris explained. Of course they were worried, they were like brothers to Y/N.

I couldn't believe it. My brothers had caught my girlfriend, vaping in her room. How did they even see her in there? I was immediately filled with worry and confusion. Y/N had struggled with her mental health for some time now, and the last thing I wanted was for her to be doing something harmful to herself.

I quickly made my way up to Y/N's room, my heart pounding in my chest. I opened the door without waiting for an answer in case she was in danger of harming herself.

Y/N's POV

I sat on the edge of my bed near the window, tears streaming down my face as I took deep drags from my vape. The cloudy smoke floated around me, mirroring the fog in my mind. I felt so lost and alone, drowning in a sea of negative thoughts and overwhelming emotions. I've been dealing with bad mental health and suicidal thoughts for a while now and vaping seems like the only thing to help right in my current state.

Matt knows about the mental health, but has no idea about the vaping, and I'm scared of his reaction. But, he comes into my room suddenly without warning, giving me no time to hide the vape, or the smell.

"Bubs, what's wrong? Is that a vape?" Matt's voice broke through my haze, his strong arms wrapping around me from behind. I jumped slightly, not expecting him to be home so soon.

"I... I'm just... I don't know, Matt. I'm just feeling so...empty, I'm so sorry." I choked out between sobs. I felt him pull me closer, his warmth seeping into my chilled body. He gently took the vape from my hand, setting it aside before turning me to face him.

"Hey, it's okay. You're not alone, I'm here for you," he spoke softly, his eyes full of concern and love. I buried my face in his chest, clinging to him like a lifeline in the storm.

"I... I just can't shake these thoughts, Matt. They're so...draining," I whispered, my voice barely audible. His hand cupped my cheek, tilting my face up to meet his gaze.

"I know, baby I know. But you're strong, you're not alone in this. I'm here, we'll get through this together," he reassured me, his words like a cave wave in the middle of a brutal storm. I felt a glimmer of hope stir within me, a tiny flame flickering in the darkness.

"I love you, Matt. I'm sorry for being like this, for burdening you with my problems," I mumbled, feeling guilty for dragging him into my mess.

"Don't be sorry, bubs. I love you too, and I'll always be here for you. Let's take this one step at a time, okay?" he said, brushing away my tears with his thumb. I nodded, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders with his unwavering support.

"I'm here for you, always and forever, bubs," Matt whispered, pressing a gentle kiss to my forehead. I closed my eyes, savoring the warmth of his embrace, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat against my ear.

"I love you, Matt. Thank you for being here for me," I murmured, feeling a sense of peace wash over me like a comforting wave.
