Beside You (A Marianas Trench / Ghost Town Fan Fic)

~Chapter 22

It’s been about three weeks since the awful happening and I have to say Nova and I are starting to pull our shit together. We haven’t broken anything and we’ve stopped blaming ourselves, and the guys being here have really helped. They have really helped us through this and have stuck with us through all the crazy, and trust me… there has been crazy. Niall and Liam especially, I knew Niall would because even if he was in Ireland we could call him and then suddenly it was okay, but Liam is really sweet too. He has talked me though a lot of this, not that I would try and hurt myself or something but because let’s be honest. Ain’t no man be worth that. But he has just been a good friend.

Zander and Ryan have been around a lot the last few weeks too, Zander has helped me keep my cool from all of this and Ryan has really helped Nova. I love the entire team but Zander, and Ryan have always been our rock. They have peeled our drunk butts off the streets of Seattle, stopped me from buying a huge light-up bouncy house off of QVC, and so much more. Zander even rescued me from a guy trying to rape me, but that’s a story for another time…

Today everyone is awake and we decided we would take the boys and let them on a bike because they won’t stop begging us. Déjà vu? I think yes, but this time I won’t let one of these littlebastardsclimbtheirway intomyheartthenripitoutofmychestwithoutblinkinganeye.

Woah, get yourself together Kat.

It will be okay.

“So lesson time.” I said backing the last of the bikes out of the garage and the trailer.

“Yes gather around boys.” Nova added.

We still have the uniforms that Clitous brought over for the other boys and everyone seemed to find one that fits. I have to say they all look adorable! They all look so professional yet scared shitless, truly a Kodak moment. Louis had a grin from ear to ear, obviously ready to do some landscaping, Niall looked excited but also nervous he’s also complaining that he’s hungry, Zayn looks completely unphased by the whole situation, little bad boy, Liam looks more nervous for our sake than his, , and Harry looks like he’ll throw up any second. I’ve never seen that shade of green on a human.

“Okay this makes it go.” She said referring to the handle bar with the gas on it.

“This makes it stop.” I said pointing to the foot… thing, for lack of a better word, at a lever.

“And this makes it stop REALLY fast.” Nova said pointing to the button on the button next to the gas.

They all nodded.

“What does that red switch do?” Louis asked about to push it.

Nova and I sprung from where we were standing. I hopped over one of the bikes and landed in a tuck and roll grabbing Louis hand that was about to press the nitro release.

“Don’t press that.” Nova said shifting her gaze to all the boys very seriously.

“Don’t.” I added sternly.

“May I ask what it does?” Liam asked sweetly.

“That is the nitro release. If you press that I guarantee that you will hurt yourself really bad.” I said in a monotone voice. “We don’t even use that button.” I lied.

“Okay gang pick your poison!” I said referring the lined up bikes.

“WHICH IS THE FASTEST?” Louis asked loudly.

“They all are, have you forgotten these are professional grade bikes?” Nova said sarcastically.

They all picked one and got the jist of basic movement on them and we showed them the trail leading to the track and went to the overlook we usually jump off. They all looked at us and waved us down probably thinking that we were going to go around to the trail. L.O.L no. We nodded and strapped our helmets on backing up out of their view.
