Fake Love • Nick Mara Fan Fiction • Completed

36 | Paps

Brandon walked to his car examining the broken window. He broke the rest of the glass and cleaned up the inside of his car as quick as he could.

It felt like he was living in a movie, he didn't know being in a band could be so much dramatic. He got into the car quickly and headed to Melinas place.

He made it to her place and walked to the desk, thankfully they were familiar with him and let him through. He made it to the elevators and walked out in a little sprint. He knocked on the door and immediately the door flung open.

"Brandon, You're okay" Melina hugged him unexpectedly, "Yeah, I am, are you?" Brandon pulled her away to see her bruise.

"Your lip" Melina ignored his question and looked towards Brandon, her hand inching closer to his face.

"It's fine" He moved his head away from her direction so she wouldn't look at the wound.

"Let me get you some water" She ran towards the kitchen grabbing him a glass then pouring water into it.

Nick came into view he didn't look mad. He walked over to Brandon, "thanks man..for defending her" He patted Brandon's back.

"Yeah no problem" Brandon nodded.

Melina came back and handed Brandon the glass. Brandon took the glass from her hand drinking it half way, "thank you".

Melina nodded taking the glass and bringing it to the Kitchen.

"Kristen told me we should find some paparazzi" Melina said.

"For what exactly?" Brandon furrowed his eyebrows.

"To clear your rep, right now you look bad..a women hitter is what it says on this article" Nick said looking down at his phone.

"What?!" Brandon snatched the phone from Nicks hand eyeing the Article. The photo that was taken of him was an aggressive looking photo of him. Brandon was almost never aggressive matter of fact, but something just came out of him that night.

"At least we know you can fight" Nick snatched his phone back.

"C'mon lets go find the paps" Brandon took Melinas hand, which was unintentional it was just an instinct of his. He looked back at her but she didn't seem to mind him grabbed her hand.

"Don't go out too long" Nick said still looking down at his phone, which was good. If he saw Brandon holding Melinas hand he would flip.

Nick was the protective type so him being mad at even a guy hugging her was not surprising.

They headed Melina had let go of Brandon's hand once they entered the elevator she let go. Brandon of course was upset at the loss of contact.

He awkwardly pressed the same button as Melina their fingers touching.

"Sorry" She laughed.

He smiled softly admiring her smile and laugh.

"You have a great laugh" Brandon complimented.

"Really? Nick tells me all the time but I don't believe him" She kept her head down.

"No he's definitely speaking the truth" Brandon nodded.

The elevator doors opened and immediately cameras surrounded them and the flashes were blinding them both.

"Woah how'd they get here? Where's security?" Melina squinted her eyes.

"I have no clue.."

"Brandon! Brandon!! Did you really hit Melina?!"

"How are you going to maintain your anger issues?!"

"I don't have anger issues-""why are you at Melinas house after hitting her?!"

"He didn't hit me"

"So who did hit you?""was it nick?!"

"No no ofcourse not, nick would never"

"Why was Brandon hitting that guy?!"

"Because he hit Melina"

"Why did you protect her? And not Nick protecting her?"

"I-I don't know"

"Are you dating Brandon now? Is that why you're with him?"

"What? No I'm dating Nick, Brandon's my friend"

Ouch.

"Was Nick busy talking to Ona? Is that why he didn't protect you?!"

"Who?"

"Ona Manila"

"Who is she?"

"That's enough questions" Brandon said then closing the elevators doors.

"Wait no! Who's Ona?" Melina was confused and furious.

"I have no clue Melina, but I'm sure it's nothing. Nick can't be cheating on you or anything he's been with you the whole time" Brandon said.

"Are you sure?" Her eyes were filled with worry.

"I'm almost 100% sure it's nothing, just them wanting to start something..you see how they lied about me hitting you, they like doing that"

"I guess you're right"
