We went to the hospital and all they did was patch up some cuts since I had nothing broken. Christina drove us home and when we got into her room, she sat on the bed and patted next to her. I slowly walked over to her and sat down, leaning my head on her shoulder and my eyes started to tear up.

"What happened babe?" She asked me softly. I sniffled and started to explain. "H-he told me that he wanted us to feel the pain he did. That he wanted us to go through what he went through. And he had a g-gun Christina. I didn't want to die. Is that too selfish of me? I broke someone's heart to save myself but also became heart broken. Oh my I'm such a bad pers-"

She cut me. "Do not think you are selfish or a bad person or a douche just to save your own life baby. You're too young to die and he would've been heart broken if you died. Maybe he would've taken his own life too Nancy..." she whispered the last part and my eyes widened.

"He wouldn't..." I breathed out. She nodded her head. "He's so caring Nancy. He loves you. We'll go to their hotel tomorrow morning and you can go talk to him. I'm sure he'll believe you" she told me.

"Hopefully" I nod. I got off her bed and laid on the mattress, putting on some music, specifically Why Don't We, and I fell asleep.

---------------

We were getting ready and Christina was using her makeup to hide the cut and bruises on my face and neck. I wore a hoodie and a pair of joggers and we went to the car. We drove until we were about a minute away from the hotel the boys were staying at. "I can't do this" I mumbled and Christina looked at me. "Yes you can. You and him are meant for each other. Just try okay?" She reassured me. I nodded and breathed out. "I love him. I'll try"

We arrived and my heart started to beat really fast. We went inside and went to their floor. After finding their room number, I started to hyperventilate. "I can't babe. This is so nerve racking. What if he hates me?" Christina cut me off by saying it's okay and knocked on the door.

I stood next to her and clung onto her arm. The door opened and we came face to face with Corbyn. "Hey babe!" Corbyn said ecstatically. He saw me and his face went blank. "Hi..." he waved but he didn't open the door to let us in.

"Why is she here?" Corbyn asked Christina politely. I was glad he wasn't rude about it but I knew he was holding in his anger. "I'll explain later babe" she kissed him and he opened the door wider, letting us in.

They had a penthouse which was pretty big and I sat next to Christina on the couch. "Can you call Daniel down here?" Christina asked softly. Corbyn nodded but on cue, all the boys walked out. I kept my head down and they all looked at us.

"Hey Christina! Who's that?" Jack asked. I slowly looked up and they looked at me in disgust. "What is she doing here?" He spat. They all had bad vibes on there face and I looked at the ground. "She has a story to tell but I'm not sure if she can handle telling it herself so I will" Christina told them and she looked over at me. I nodded and she started off the story.

After she finished, their expressions still didn't change. "Well?" Christina kept her voice soft and light. Tears kept rolling down my face as I wiped them away, seeing makeup on my hands. "I don't believe her. Sorry" Jack said. "I mean... I don't either" Zach slowly agreed with him and my heart broke.

Corbyn said sorry but he agreed with them. Jonah and Daniel didn't say anything and I had enough. "I knew this was going to happen" I choked out and I stood up, pulling down my hood and going to the door. I was a step away from grabbing the door handle when a hand grabbed my wrist.

I winced and whipped my head around so fast that the hood came off. I had dry and fresh tears on my face and the makeup had smudged off. I looked at the person who grabbed my wrist who was the one and only I still love, Daniel Seavey. He saw the bruises and cuts and his mouth gaped open.

"I love you... Do you see this? Do you still not believe me?" I whispered as my voice cracked. "I-I-" he stuttered but I cut him off. "Why would I make up a whole story? Do you think these bruises are fake?" I vigorously rubbed at my face, wincing with how rough I was rubbing.

"I thought you all would realize. I'm broken right now without you. You guys were the people who made me be myself. Out of random too! Why would I call out of no where, and break up with you?! I love you" Tears streamed down my face as I spoke.

"But you obviously don't love me enough to believe me" I said before I stormed out.

Maybe he still loves me. I still love him and I don't think I can stop loving him. He's going to find a girl better than me. Someone who can give him things that I couldn't give to him. Things like not having a psycho ex trying to kill them. I ran all the way down and outside and sat on a bench.

Christina came out and crouched next to me. "It's okay. I left after I told them you love them which we both know is true. Come on, let's go home" We walked to the car and drove home in silence. Christina made a stop at the store and got me my favorite ice cream, which reminded me of my date with Daniel.

I didn't want to think of him. I have to let him go. I can't keep chasing knowing that they might not even bother to come to me. "Can we go to a club tonight?" I asked Christina. She looked at me in shock. "Not like an actual club. I'm a good noodle. But like a teen club sort of. Mature pre-adults partying and having fun"

Christina looked at me and nodded. "Don't get into trouble alright?" I nodded and we arrived home. I got ready wearing a grey muscle tee and some black shorts. Christina dropped me off at the club and told me she'll pick me up at 10 as it was currently 8. This is going to be fun.
