Dreams (A Shawn Mendes and Matthew Espinosa FanFic)

Chapter 22

Nash's POV (A/N Bahahaha I'm a bad person)

I was dying inside. I still loved Marlie, but I had to protect her. Truth is, Taylor threatened to murder me if I stayed with her. That kid needs serious help. He brought his cousin into the room I was in after everyone left. He forced me to kiss her and let me tell you, it was disgusting. We were in the middle of our "kiss" when I heard a sob coming from behind me. Oh no, not now, I thought. I hesitantly turned around and saw Marlie standing there with tears flowing down her face. "Wait, Marlie! Let me explain! I-" "No Nash! I'm done with the lies. Never talk to me again!" She yelled. No, no this isn't happening. She turned around and ran out of the door. I followed her and Taylor's cousin was yelling after me but I didn't care. We entered her hotel room and she locked herself in the bathroom. I waited a minute to give her a bit of space before I knocked. No answer. I knocked again. No answer. "Marlie? You okay?" Still no response. I was getting scared. I knew about her past. I began beating on the door with tears streaming down my face. I finally got the door open and I couldn't believe what I saw.

Marlie's POV

Nash was beating on the bathroom door so I knew I had to do this fast. I was about to tilt the bottle. But the door busted open and Nash slapped the bottle out of my hands. I began sobbing and screaming as he picked me up and was cradling me in his arms. He got up and began running to find Laken, Olivia, and Cameron I assume. I got the courage to look up and Nash's hair was all over the place and his eyes were bloodshot. He was trying to control his sobs. Let's just say he was doing a better job than me. I was still screaming and kicking and punching Nash's chest trying to get him to release his grip. "I JUST WANT TO DIE! NASH LET ME GO!" He just looked down at me sadly and shook his head "no". We made it into the room that everyone was in and their eyes instantly moved to us. Laken, Olivia, and Brynn rushed over but Nash pushed through trying to get to Cameron. "GET LAKEN OUT OF HERE NOW!" I heard Johnson yell. I finally realized what could've happened if Nash hadn't stopped me. Laken would be dead. They put me down on a bed and they hovered over me. I heard Laken screaming for me. "Shawn or Matt go to Laken!" Cameron yelled. Shawn and Matthew both rushed out of the room. I began to calm down and so did everyone else. Or at least that's how they looked on the outside. "We should probably give her some time to herself," Brynn suggested. Everyone agreed and Nash was starting to walk out with his head down. "Nash?" I quietly said. He turned around. "Would you lay with me?" I asked shyly. You could see the smile creeping onto his face and he nodded. I turned myself back around and I felt the bed dip. Signalling that Nash had laid down. We sat in silence for a good ten minutes until Nash asked the question that I was hoping he wouldn't ask. "Why?" "Why what?" I asked trying to seem innocent. "You know what I'm talking about," Nash said. He was right, I did know what he was talking about. "Trust me Nash, you don't want to know." "Yes I do. If there's something wrong I need to know what it is so I can fix it." He started to raise his voice slightly. "You really want to know why I did it?" I asked getting up. He nodded his head. "I did it because-because of you Nash," I said the last thing quieter than the rest. You could see the tears running down his face. "I'm sorry," Nash sobbed. You could tell he was truly sorry. I just didn't know if I had it in me to forgive him.

Addy's Note:

Hey guys!!! This chapter is a big step for Marlie, she realized that if she died everyone around her would suffer. I'm sitting at school right now writing a new chapter. Oh whale. That's all I got today! Stay Beautiful!
