Abused By A Pop Star

Chapter 13: Nathan or Dylan?

Dylan's POV

Ava and I need her back home with us, and I'm getting her back one way or the other, even if she has another guy's child.

I call her, but she doesn't answer the first time, so I call again. Then she responds. "Lucy, can we talk, please?" I ask, sounding a little worried.

"About what, Dylan?" She asks, sounding annoyed at me.

"Us."

"There is no us, Dylan." She sighs.

"Lucy, please..." I beg her. "I want to talk."

"When and where?" She sighs again, still sounding annoyed.

"Today. I'll drop Ava off at my mom's in a couple of hours at my house."

"Okay. But only to talk, Dylan. Nothing else, and I mean it."

"Right. Just talking. I'll see you soon. Bye." She hangs up first without saying goodbye, so I toss my phone to the side and clean up my house a bit. I buckle her in then I drive off to my mom's house.

After I drop Ava off at my mom's, I drive home and wait until I hear a knock on the door. It's her. She came to talk. I want to do more than speak, unlike her. I know she'll fall for me again. She's so easy.

I let her in, then close the door and sit down beside her. Every time she scoots further from me, I scoot closer. "Will you stop, Dylan? Please. Remember, we're just going to talk, which is the only reason I'm here. Now talk. Or I'm leaving."

"Lucy, I want the old us back. I've never stopped loving you and want to be with you. That guy hurt you so much, and hems caused you so much stress." I lay my hand gently on hers."Nathan and I are really happy together. I love him, and he loves me, and he forgave me.""But he's hurt you a lot. He's hit you and caused you mental and emotional scars you will live with for the rest of your life." I push her sleeve up and see burn marks and cuts. "See. He's hurt you so much. Lucy, I would never do that to you. I never have, and I don't plan on it. Ever."She doesn't say anything, but then she looks at me and smiles a little. Maybe she feels the same way as I feel about her. I hope so.

Lucy's POV

What is he saying? Does he want to get back together with me? I don't know if I can or want to, but he is right. He hasn't hurt me, and I don't think he will. He doesn't seem like that person. I loved him. But I'm starting to fall in love with him again. Oh no. I can't. I'm engaged to Nathan. Not him.

"Dylan..."

"Lucy, please. I love you. I always have. I've never stopped loving you. Not one second. You should be with someone who doesn't hurt you and always treats you like a princess. I always treated you like that. Don't you remember?"

"B-but I'm carrying his child, Dylan. I can't leave him."

"Like he left you? For a week? All alone? Your house was broken into. You could've been seriously hurt, but you were lucky you weren't home when it happened. I would never leave you alone."He's right about everything. I love both of them. But for entirely different reasons. They both love me the same. I have to choose now between the guy I've loved for years and the guy that's never stopped loving me or me.
