Most Wanted- A The Wanted Fanfiction

Chapter 3

Jay's POV:

For dinner that night, we just ordered some pizza, and ate it while lounging in the living room.

"So," Madi said, breaking the silence, "If you're going to be living in my house, I'm going to need to know more about you than just your names..."

Siva was the first to put down his pizza and say, "I'm Siva Kaneswaran, I grew up in Dublin, Ireland, and I have an obsession with candles," he sniffed the air, "Nice apple scent by the way,"

Madi laughed and turned to Tom expectantly, "Tom Parker, I grew up in Bolton, and I play the guitar," he said.

"Ooooh, I have a guitar. Will you play something for us later?" Madi asked.

"Sure thing," Tom responded.

"Alright, I'm next," Max announced, "I'm Max George, from Manchester, and like ears for some reason..."

"It's true!" I interrupted, "He can tell us apart just by feeling our ears,"

Madisyn had a confused look on her face as Max reached out and felt her right ear, "Your's is a lot like Jay's..." he said, "Except smaller,"

I expected her to be creeped out, but instead she just said, "Cool," and then turned to Nathan.

"Nathan Sykes, I'm from Gloucester, and... um... I can't think of anything interesting at this moment..." he trailed off.

Madi giggled and said, "It's okay. I guess if you're going to stay here, you'll need to know a bit about me. I'm Madisyn Davis. I was born in St. Louis, Missouri. I moved to Nottingham when I was ten, and became best friends with Jaybird here," she pointed to me, "and then moved here at the age of eighteen. And if you must know something interesting, all the paintings you see in this room, I painted myself," she said, gesturing around the room.

I looked around the room, same as the other guys, and my eyes landed on a painting of a bird. I noticed how she used lots of texture and detail. "It's a jaybird." she whispered in my ear. I smiled and gave her a one-handed hug. When I looked at her, I could see this distant look in her eyes before she looked at me and said, "Can I talk to you later tonight?" I nodded, concerned.

Later that night...

It was about eleven o'clock and all the other guys had already gone off to bed. It was just Madi and I in the living room. "So what did you want to talk about?" I asked in a hushed voice, not wanting to wake up everyone else.

I could see tears building up in her eyes as she stared off into the distance. "Why'd you do it, Jay?" she asked.

"Do what?"

"Don't act like you don't know what I mean, Jay. Did someone threaten you? Is it all a big misunderstanding? What exactly happened that made you think you could get away with it?"

She was right. I knew exactly what she meant. She looked me in the eyes and I could feel my own tear spill over as I wiped one of her's with her thumb. "You think this is all your fault, don't you?"

"Well, considering it started right after I left, yeah, that's what I think..." she looked away as more tears spilled out.

"Madi..." I started, wrapping my arm around her, "After you left I was kind of heart broken, you know. You were always the one to stand up for me, and with you gone, people started to pick on me again. But it wasn't just the normal name-calling and stuff. One of them actually broke my leg once. I told my mom I fell down the stairs, but Nathan knows what actually happened. I guess I just wanted revenge. For everything. But I'm not one to hurt someone physically. We just... we... we steal their stuff... I guess it makes us feel better about ourselves? I honestly don't know..." I trailed off.

"So it is my fault?"

"No! Of course it's not! I should have stood up for myself when I had the chance. I let it get too far. That's why it happened. Because of me, not you." She started to sob even harder. "Madi, look at me," I lifted her chin with my fingers. Both of our faces were streaked with tears, "It's my fault. Not your's okay?"

She jumped up and wrapped her arms around my neck, sobbing into my shoulder. I rested my chin on her head and watched as my tears dampened her hair. We cried ourselves to sleep in each other's arms.

Nathan's POV:

I woke up at around midnight and trudged down the stairs for some water. I was surprised to see the light on in the living room, and even more surprised to see Madisyn and Jay asleep on the couch, wrapped up in each other's arms. It made me wonder what really went on between these two back in Nottingham. They keep saying that they were best friends, but is that true? I shook the thoughts out of my head, and went to the kitchen to get some water. Afterwards, I walked back upstairs and fell back into a peaceful sleep.
