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

Chapter 26

[MADELAINE'S POV]
We just got to Veggie Grill. We were waiting in line to order. Vanessa has been attached to me all day. I don't mind it. I do the same to her. I feel a tug at my shirt and look down. Vanessa is staring at me with a frown. I look up and see that it's our turn to order. I order for me and Vanessa while Cami and Lili order for themselves.

I lead Vanessa to a table. "Is this okay, baby?" I ask. She nods her head. I sit down and Vanessa sits next to me. She pulls her chair closer to mine. I've noticed she's been doing this all day. She grabs my hand and holds it tightly. She leans her head on my shoulder. It's basically a pattern.

Lili and Camila come back with trays of food. They set them on the table giving each of us ours. "Nessa, sit up so you can eat." I say. Vanessa whimpers at that. "It's okay. I'm right here." I reassure kissing her head. She nods and sits up. I know she wants to be close to me but I still have to make sure she eats. She can't starve herself.

   We all eat our food and have different conversations with Vanessa listening silently. It really worried me that all of the sudden she was super quiet and clingy. Usually I'm the quiet and clingy one. It makes me wonder if she's this worried about me when I'm like that. I wanted to know what was wrong with her but she's barely said a word all day. I look to Vanessa and see her playing with her food. She's eaten most of it. She's probably full.

We all finish lunch and I figure I should take Vanessa home. "Hey, I loved hanging out with you guys but I think we should really get going." I say to Camila and Lili. They give me a big smile. "Okay, we'll talk to both of you later." Lili says. Cami nods and with that I stand up with Vanessa to leave.

We get into the car and I start it quickly. I just wanted to get home so I could talk to Vanessa. She grabs my hand. I look to her and give her a small smile. I kiss her knuckles. She smiles at me. I drive home quickly and we both go inside. Vanessa drags me to the bedroom. She sits on the bed and pulls me on to it. She immediately cuddles into me.

"Baby, I think we should talk." I say. She tenses up. I rub my hand over her back. "It's okay. I just want to talk to you." I say softly. She pulls away and looks at me. "Okay." Vanessa mumbles. "Are you okay?" I ask. She just shrugs her shoulders like she has been all day. "Nessa, I'm really worried about you." I say sadly. "You've been so clingy all day. It's not a bad thing. It's just you are never this way. I'm worried." I say. "I'm scared." Vanessa says. "Why?" I ask. "I don't want you to leave. I'm really sorry. I'm really really sorry. I shouldn't have done what I did. I won't do it again. Please don't leave me. I'm in love you. I need you. I don't want you to leave. Please don't." Vanessa says with tears falling down her cheeks. "I'm not going to leave you. I love you too. You apologized. I forgive you. I really do. I know you're sorry. I know you won't hurt me again." I say holding her tightly. "I'm scared you aren't going to love me anymore, and you're going to leave me forever." Vanessa whimpers. "I'm never leaving. I will always love you. Remember, we promised each other." I say holding her hand. I pull away and set our hands in front of us. I bring her hand up to my face and kiss her ring. I pull her hand away and kiss her lips.

She smiles at me and hugs me. "I love you." Vanessa says. "I love you, too." I smile. "Are you okay, now?" I ask. She nods her head. Vanessa pulls me to lay down next to her, so I do so. We sit in a comfortable silence until Vanessa's notifications go off like crazy. I look at her confused and she grabs her phone off the nightstand. She looks at it and then looks at me worriedly. "What is it?" I ask. She shakes her head and sits up quickly.

[VANESSA'S POV]
I look at my phone and see a bunch of notifications from Twitter and Instagram. I'm tagged in a bunch of posts over an article. I click the article quickly and read the title, Riverdale Cast Double Date. I skim the article quickly. I see pictures of Camila and Lili. Then I see pictures of me and Madelaine.
