Crystal Eyes Tell Pretty Lies

Chapter 4: Proven

Ryleigh's POV:

    Standing up for myself against Nash felt amazing, it was the first time I'd ever been able to. I always just went along with everything that he had said, no matter what I had thought about something I always went along with it to ensure our friendship. Sending that text message sent a surge of power through me. It felt like for once I was finally thinking for myself. I was going to confront him in person too. It wasn't fair, if he didn't want to commit to a relationship then why had he gotten involved in the first place? He knew I was looking for the one.

    Now I was just Nash's week day girl. The girl he could get with when his fans weren't drooling over him. Just wait until he gets home. There will be hell to pay. Nobody gets away with playing me, and I mean NOBODY, not even Nash Grier.

Nash's POV:

    About an hour later I sent her home, kissing her gently on the forehead telling her "See you soon." It was these little things that I did that made the girls go wild and I knew it too.The guys would be back at the hotel room soon, and I know what they would say about it. Matt would say something about "true love" and "waiting on the one." They'd all say something stupid like that trying to convince me that they're the sweet guys everyone thinks that they are, but in reality I know they would do the same thing if they got the chance. Who wouldn't?

    Everything with girls was just a game. A game I couldn't afford to lose, and a game that I have never lost. I've never had feelings for a girl, and I didn't plan on having some anytime soon. I might settle down one day, but who am I kidding, I'll probably cheat on her anyway. I would board my flight and forget about this girl soon enough.

Ryleigh's POV:

    I went over to the Grier's house to wait with them until Nash, Hayes, and Chad got home. We were watching TV in the living room when I heard Skylynn start to scream "NAAAAASH!" I heard a muffled "SKYYYYY" Despite how mad at Nash I was, I couldn't help but smile at how absolutely adorable their relationship was. I walked around the corner to see Skylynn in Nash's arms, they were spinning around and her ridiculously cute laugh echoed throughout the house.

    After their reunion I approached Nash and we hugged "We need to talk," I whispered in his ear so none of his other family members could hear. I wasn't in the mood to upset the whole family. "I bet you two are dying to spend some time together, we'll leave you guys alone for now." Nash's mother said to us smirking. We went upstairs into his room, and he plopped his bag down onto his bed. "What is it Ry? Can we make this fast, I'm exhausted." he complained. I knew he was tired, but I needed to do this before I lost the upper hand. "Nash, I know you've been cheating on me." I replied confidence laced throughout my voice. I backed away from him as pure anger flashed in his eyes. I backed up until I hit the wall. "You. Don't. Know. ANYTHING" He screamed in my face.

    The next thing I knew his fist connected with the wall a mere centimeter away from me. He realized what he had done, and the anger in his eye turned to sadness. "Ry…" he murmured. "Ryleigh, I'm so sorry. I messed up. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please tell me you're alright." He whispered to me. Tears started falling from his eyes, left then right, left then right. I touched the sides of his face lifting up his droopy head and kissed his cheek. "I'm fine. We're alright." I reassured him. I knew that I shouldn't forgive him, but that's the thing about Nash, he always ropes you back in.

"Come to Magcon with me? I'll prove to you how dedicated I am to you." he asked.
