It's my secret (a Ross Lynch/R5 fanfic)

Chapter 76

TYLER'S POV

"Thanks for hanging out with me" Lauren says shyly as she gets up to leave.

"It's fine. I wish you lived closer, maybe we could do more stuff together. I'm really sorry we couldn't go on any dates" I tell her.

"It's cool, maybe next time" she smiles though I can see the disappointment in her features.

"Can I get your phone number?" I ask.

"Of course, I have time limits though" she says. I take out my phone and just as I tap on the phone icon, my phone starts ringing.

"Hello?" I say holing the phone to my ear.

"It's me Vanessa, Nevaeh's slightly drunk, she's having a... Break down, can you come over?" She says nervously.

"Of course, I'll be right there" I say.

"Sorry for calling you from the party" she says. I pull on my hoodie and motion for Lauren to follow me. When we get downstairs I lock the door and we walk over.

"It's fine, I left a couple of hours ago, I got bored" I simple say. I hang up and knock on the door. Rydel opens it almost immediately and I rush in.

"She's in her dressing room" she says running her fingers through her curled hair.

"Thanks for calling me" I say before rushing up the stairs. I try to push the door open but it's locked. I gently knock on the door and hope Nevaeh can hear me over her sobbing.

"Nevaeh, babe, it's me Ty" I say gently.

"Go away please" she cries.

"Do you want to talk?" I ask.

"No I want to be alone" she sobs. I sit down by the door as I continue to speak to her.

"Are you scared?" I ask her. I hear some shuffling by the door and then I hear her sit down by the door

"I'm terrified" she admits, I can hear her heavy breathy through the door.

"About the wedding, meeting your father, what are you afraid of?" I asked her in a hushed tone.

"Of everything Ty. Three years ago, we would be sitting in your room with ,everyone eating Pizza and Lynn would be arguing with Tiger about why Pizza is better than some other thing and then we would throw every duvet and pillow onto the floor and start a movie that we've all seen a million times. Then I wouldn't ever think I would be in my idols wedding. Then, I never thought I would meet my mother or father again. I never though we would go to such lengths to just protect my baby. Tyler. I'm meeting my father, who I've only known as a homeless drunk who left his home and his entire family. My mother, who went on a world tour moved to California to become a police woman and adopted my best friend. Ironic don't you think. What if one day I end up living with either of them again? What if my father drags everyone to court just to get me back? What if he hasn't even changed? Surely I have a choice right?" She says.

She goes on and on with a million more What If's and I don't stop her. She hasn't had a big break down for years, she become much stronger after getting rid of depression. I admire her because she's handled a lot more than I could ever imagine. I take in every word, every sound that comes out of her mouth and make sure she know she is being heard. After a while, she starts sobbing again.

"Nevaeh, do you want to open the door now?" I say. I want to see her face. We haven't talked about her feelings properly since we got here, so honestly I knew this was coming soon. I just didn't know it would happen towards midnight and she would be drunk. I'm happy she is just crying and hasn't broken anything, or she would have hear herself. I hear the door being unlocked and it slowly opens. She sitting her dressing table, I'm beginning to wonder if she ever sits on the chair. I close the door behind me and walk to her. She has broken stuff, there are broken bottles of perfumes and make up on the floor. She has a cut on her finger and I don't know if she has any plasters.
