Behind The Scenes Of Choni: A Madnessa Story [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 24

     [VANESSA'S POV]
   I sit in the parking lot and wait for Madelaine. I was on my phone until I hear the car door open. I turn off my phone and look to Madelaine. She gets into the car quickly and shuts the door. She hands me a small piece of paper.

   "What's this?" I ask reading it. SSRI. Ketamine. "A prescription slip." Madelaine mumbles. "These are serious drugs. Did they tell you to take these?" I ask. She nods. I look to her and see a tear fall down her cheek. "Hey, it's okay." I say wiping her tear. "I'm not crazy." She whimpers. "Of course you aren't baby." I say. She shakes her head. "I must be. She wants me to take these drugs to act normal. Why wouldn't I be crazy?" Madelaine asks sadly. "That's not what this means, Mads. You aren't crazy. This is just to get you to feel better. To help make that voice go away." I say. "You don't want it forever do you?" I ask. She shakes her head. "I don't need to take drugs." She says. "I know. It's just to make the process of getting better easier." I reassure.

"I don't like that counselor." Madelaine says. "Why not?" I ask. "She asks too many questions." She mumbles. "They're supposed to ask questions, silly. That's how they get to know you, so they can help you." I say. "I don't like questions. Especially the ones she asked me." Madelaine says. "What questions?" I ask. Madelaine fiddles with her ring and stays silent for a moment. "About something in my past. About the voice." She says. "If you tell her you aren't comfortable with answering them she won't ask them." I say. She nods. "Do you want to go next week?" I ask. "I guess." Madelaine mumbles. "Okay. I love you." I say. "I love you, too." She smiles. I kiss her cheek and start the car.

I drive us home and we go to the bedroom. "Do you want to go get your prescriptions tomorrow?" I ask as we climb in bed. She nods and lays on top of me. "You okay, babe?" I ask worriedly. She shrugs her shoulders. "I just want cuddles." She says looking up at me. "Okay." I say. "Can we cuddle like earlier?" She asks nervously while fiddling with the blanket. I nod and sit up. I take off my shirt, and bra while Madelaine does the same. I lay down and Madelaine sets her ear on my heart. I kiss the top of her head. "Are you okay now?" I ask. She nods. "Good." I say. "Are you okay?" Madelaine asks. "As long as you are." I say into her hair. She holds me tighter. "Good." She mumbles.

   We sit in silence for what seems like a long time until I hear the door open and close. I look to Madelaine and see she's asleep. I hear footsteps coming towards the door. I try to pull the blanket over us but realize we are laying on it. I groan not knowing what to do. Instead I just lay there and watch the door. Who has a key besides me?

   My question is answered once I see Camila at the door. She smirks at me. "What was going on here?" She asks. "We were just cuddling. Madelaine gets annoyed by the clothing." I explain. I hear Madelaine groan lightly. "I don't know wether to believe that or not." Camila laughs. "What do you want to hear?" I ask. "That you two were having sex." She replies nonchalantly. "Why would I even tell you that?" I ask annoyed. Before she could reply Madelaine speaks up. "Who are you talking to, baby?" She mumbles. "Camila." I say rolling my eyes. "Hey Mads." Camila says. Madelaine opens her eyes and darts up quickly. I cover my boobs with my hands quickly. "How did you get in my house?" Madelaine asks. "You gave me a key, remember?" Camila asks. "I guess I do now." Madelaine says rubbing her eyes. I look to the floor and grab Madelaine's shirt. I wrap it around her chest. "Seriously? I was enjoying the view." Camila groans. "It's my view. Now get the fuck out." I demand. She laughs and leaves the room. I roll my eyes and Madelaine gets off of me.

   We both put our tops on and walk to the living room. Madelaine and I sit next to each other on our couch while Camila is on the other. "So, why are you here?" I ask annoyed. "Oh, I just wanted to tell you guys the news before you see it all over the media and stuff." Camila says. "You and Lili are getting married?" I ask excitedly. "Yeah, no. We are dating, though. We will be posting about it to come out to our fans. It's going to be everywhere." Camila laughs. "I'm happy for you guys." Madelaine says. "Thank you." Camila smiles. She looks to me expectantly. "I'm kind of bummed you two aren't getting married." I shrug. Camila rolls her eyes.
