Life's A Mystery {Karmin}

Chapter 20: Mistake

*Maura's POV*

Fighting.

They were fighting. I watched as Amy's face turned red with anger, "You know what Nick, you never have time for me anymore. I'm your soon-to-be wife and I don't get to see you!" I'm pretty sure the whole neighborhood could hear them. "Maybe because it's that stupid fucked up kid you had to bring into our lives. She's destroying us, she's tearing us apart. She's got too many problems that she probably just does everything for attention. Attention seeker is what she is. That worthless thing was the worst thing that's ever happened to me." "Maybe she was Nick, maybe she was." I stood there for a second just letting it all sink it. Tears rolling down my face, my makeup was probably a mess.

I was the worst thing that's ever happened to them

Worthless.

I'm the reason Namy isn't Namy anymore

Attention seeker.

I'm the reason why Karmin is on the verge of splitting up

Fucked up kid.

This is all my fault.

Not anyone else's but

Mine.

Amy realized I was standing there the whole time and decided to say something. "Baby, I'm so sorry I-" " just save it." I made the choice of running down the hall, past the stairs, and to the front door despite the fact someone was calling my name behind me. I ran. I kept running. I didn't matter to anyone anymore. I sat down on a curb, eventually and came to realization that I just need to die for everyone's sake. Until I realized...... I had my phone in my pocket still. There was only one person I thought of calling. Someone who actually cares...I think. I turn my phone on and wait for it to warm up. Then, I scroll through my contacts and click call. After two rings she picked up.

M-"Demi, I-I-I need-d you-u-u."

D-"babes where are you? What's wrong? Tell me and I'll come right now." I heard the jingling her, what I assumed to be car and house keys, and the door clicking. I couldn't hold the sobs in any longer.

M-"I don't-t know whe-ere I am-m but I-I'm scare-ed. They don't love-e me anymore-e no one do-oes. I just w-want to die-e. Make the voic-es stop-p."

D-"Don't hang up okay? I'm going to track your location. Listen to me, okay? I don't know what happened but when I find out who hurt you, they'll be sorry they did. I love you so fucking much. You can't die because you can't leave me. I need you, you need me. We can get through this together."

M-"sing to m-e?"

D- "Now you're a warrior,

You've got thicker skin,

You're a warrior,

You're stronger than you've ever been,

And your armor is made of steal, they can't get it,

You're a warrior and they can never hurt you again"

She calmed me down a bit. A few minutes later, I am still crying and rocking back and forth. Demi hung up, but just as she hung up, I could see headlights coming in my direction. They shined brightly in my face. I heard someone get out of the car and keep the keys in it. I knew it was Demi. Someone came up behind me and wrapped their arms around me. "What happened to you kiddo?" I shook my head and felt her lift me up. I was scared that she was going to drop me and I think she sensed it because she said, "don't worry, I've got you." I allowed her to carefully carry me to her car and put me down in the passenger seat right next to hers. She buckled me up and kissed my cheek. Then, Demi closed the door gently and made her way to the drivers door. She climbed in and started to drive away. "You're gonna stay at my house tonight, okay? I don't think you'll be alright to go home. I'll just call Amy tomorrow morning and tell her ill bring you home." "No, please don't send me back there. They don't want a fucked up kid like me." Demi stopped the car imedietally, which shocked me. She grabbed her hands and put them on my shoulders. "You need to stop thinking that. It breaks my heart to hear that because I love you with all my heart and you're perfect the way you are. You aren't fucked up, you just need some fixing and I'm gonna be there every step of the way to help you. You deserve happiness more than anything in the world. You gotta just believe in yourself sweetheart." She hugged me and continued driving.

We arrived at what she called her home, but it was more like a mansion. "Welcome to our home!" "Dems, what do you mean our home?" She grabbed my hand and lead me inside. "You're always welcome here, therefore it's ours" she said with a huge smile. Couldn't help but smile too. "There's that beautiful smile of yours!" Demi acted so happy, I couldn't help by giggle. "Come on, I'm exhausted, let's go to bed. Demi grabbed my hand and we made our way to her bedroom. She released my hand and sat down on her bed. I stood there awkwardly because where was I gonna go? Then she patted the bed beside her signaling for me to come over to her. "I'm not gonna bite, Maura." I made my way to opposite side of the bed where Demi was now lying down. I got under the covers and faced the wall, too ashamed to face Demi. She put her arms around me and pulled me close to her. "We will talk tomorrow" she whispered, "goodnight baby girl, I love you." "Goodnight Dems, I love you too." She kissed my forehead and I fell asleep in her arms.....I felt safe.

*Amy's POV*

"What the hell did we just do Nick?" I watched as Nick panted back and forth in our room. "Amy, I screwed up" he began crying. "I didn't mean any of that. I just missed spending time with you." "Well now she's missing." Hopefully she turns up tomorrow because I can't live without my daughter. Our daughter." "She will come back around Babe, we just gotta give her time." We both got in bed and I couldn't help but cry. Nick wiped away my tears and kissed me softy on the lips. "Goodnight Ams, I love you." My eyes got very heavy and I realized that it was time for night to take over.
