A Life With You - BTY VERSE

You Matter

Imagine. You were alone at home and you felt so bad. How come she still had the power of making you feel like shit everytime? Doesn't she have another goal in life then to destroy her daughter's life? You were pacing around the living room, trying to understand why she would do that. It felt like you were back to your teenage years, pacing around your room, still with the same questions in your head. "When can't she be happy for me?" you asked yourself. Darren came back home and threw his bag in the hall. "Hey beauty! What's up?" Darren said happily as he walks into the room. When he saw your face and the mascara covering your cheeks, his smile drops.

"What's going on, darling?" he asked in a worried tone. He walked to you and put his hands over your crossed arms. You started to cry some more, you couldn't stop. The tears were just running down your cheeks uncontrollably. "Baby talk to me" Darren says. His voice was reassuring and made you feel like home again. Like you actually cared. You left your head to him and explain: "I saw my mother today. I just...I thought for a second that she could've changed or regretted. But no. She's just the same old kind of horrible mother, who somehow knows exactly how to remind me what kind of awful person I am". "Hey baby" Darren said as he took you in his arms. He put a hand on your waist and another one on the back of your head to pull you close. You find yourself crying over his chest, his chin posed of your head and his arm surrounding you. He waited until your sobs calmed down and pulled away, only to take your face in his hands. "Babe look at me" he whispers.

You bit your lip and look at his eyes. "You matter y/n. You matter more than anything in this world. I don't wanna hear that you feel useless or like a bad person because you are not" he says. It was like he was putting all his love and feelings for you into his words. "You're the most amazing person I've ever met. You're my person. And what these kind of people tell you, whoever they are, are the most absurd things I've ever heard. And one day, they will only have themselves to blame. She will only have herself to blame" he insists. "Stop crying darling, please. I hate to see you cry" Darren said as he dries a tear with his thumb, stroking your cheek on the way. Your sobs calmed down and no more tears were in your eyes. "Would you give me a smile?" he asked with his famous puppy dog eyes. You smile a little and slowly your smile turns into a grin. Darren smirked and you took his hands and intertwined your fingers with his. Darren put his forehead against yours and you just closed your eyes. You felt his lips brushing against yours and kiss him. Suddenly they were no more dark around you, just you, him and the love you shared. "You matter" he whispers against your lips. You smile and kiss him back. "Thank you Darren".
