Married To A Pop Star

Chapter 1: Hurting

Lucy's POV

Nathan and I have been married for three years, and we couldn't be any happier. Hunter is two years old, so he walks and talks around the house. Nathan and the guys discussed the band for weeks and came to a decision that they would take a break to pursue personal endeavors.I got a part-time job as an editor for the local newspaper. I always work from home, so I can be with Nathan and Hunter as much as I can. I occasionally still see Ava. I don't see her as often as I would like, but I'm married and I have another kid.

Dylan got married to a girl named Isabelle. I've met her a few times because she was at Dylan's home when I came over to visit. She knows sign language, so she teaches Ava when I can't. I can't be any more grateful for that.

Nathan still gets counseling and takes anger management classes to control his anger, especially around Hunter. The paparazzi still follow him everywhere he goes. He gets tired of it whenever he goes out to do normal things. Life is complicated. I'm beyond blessed to have Nathan, Hunter, Ava, and all of the guys in my life. We support and only hope for the best for each other.

"Lucy, can I talk to you about something that happened a few years ago?" I set Hunter down then he immediately runs over to his playroom. Nathan sits next to me and sighs. I close my laptop, and sit crisscross on the couch, "Yeah. What is it?"

"Well, this was a little over three years ago... It's about what happened to you one night when you were alone."

"Nathan, a lot of things happened three years ago. You have to be more specific than that."He fiddles around with his fingers and looks up at me sadly. "It's something I did to you. It's something else you don't know. I can't live with this-" He chokes up and then looks down. His eyes fill with tears quickly. Oh god. He hardly ever gets choked up in front of me. He's never really cried in front of me.

"Nath, just tell me. Please." I place my hands on his and look into his eyes. I want him to tell me already. He's scaring me right now.

Nathan's POV

I have to get this off my chest. It's been bothering me for three years. I can hardly believe I did this to her. She doesn't know I have done something else to hurt her.

She rests her hands on mine. It made me feel a little calmer. But she's going to hate me for what I have to tell her next. I take a deep breath and look up at her again. "Lucy, when you thought I was gone with the guys on a photo shoot or whatever, I wasn't. I-I was here. I-I saw you walking home late one night from work. I followed you then I grabbed you, pulled y-you into an alley a-and I-"

"No." She stands up in disbelief and backs away from me. "No... Nathan, please tell me that's not true. Please!" She cries, backing up from me. "Y-you ra- H-how could you?!"

"Lucy, I was drunk. I didn't know what I was doing! I'm so so sorry!" I stand up and slowly make my way over to her.

"You raped me! I married you! I married the guy who raped me! How could you do that to me! How could you let me marry you knowing you raped me?" She shoves me away and runs into Hunter's playroom then I hear her lock the door and cry hysterically.
