A long day of interviews was tedious. I was ready to go out with the lads and have a few drinks. Nathan came with me back to my place to get Cadence and while she was getting ready, I finally talked to him.
"Nath," Nathan looked up at me as I sat on the coffee table in front of him. "We need to talk." "About what?" he asked, looking back at his phone. I grabbed his phone out of his hands and he looked at me. "Cadence." "What about Cadence?" he asked, reaching for his phone again. I stuffed it in my pocket and pushed him back on the couch. "Don't go too fast with Cadence." "What are you talking about?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in confusion. "Just...watch it, okay? She's...she's fragile." "What do you mean?" "I mean she's emotional, she's got a difficult past...I just want you to think before you act...alright, Nathan?" he nodded slowly and sat up. "Y-yeah." I smiled and handed him his phone back. "Good, now go get Cadence." "Why can't you?" he asked, standing up. "I'm letting you be alone with my sister for a bit. Don't ruin it!"
Cadence
After I finished getting ready, I studied myself in the mirror. I was wearing a skirt and a nice top. I never wore skirts. "Cadence," I looked over as Nathan poked his head in the door. His eyes studied me and a smile grew on his face. "You look lovely." I looked back at myself in the mirror and sighed. "Thanks." "We're ready to go...what happened to your leg?" he asked quietly, pointing to my leg. I lowered my head and walked past him. "Nothing."
I had so much fun at the club with the guys. I was dancing and having a good time until I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around to see a guy holding out his hand. He leaned closer to me, his lips barely touching my ear. "Let me buy you a drink." I looked at him and nodded as he took my hand, leading me to the bar.
I was having a few drinks, talking with this guy and he was really nice. I felt someone grab my shoulder and spin me around. "What do you think you're doing talking to my boyfriend!" it was a blonde girl who obviously had too much to drink. "He was talking to me! I was just being nice." next thing I knew, I was on the ground.
Nathan
I pushed through the crowds of people, looking for Cadence. I made my way to the bar to see two girls fighting and a guy trying to pull them apart. My mouth dropped when I saw that Cadence was one of the girls being beaten. I quickly ran over and tried pulling them apart and in doing so, I took about four punches to the face. Finally, one of the bouncers got them away from each other and I quickly got Cadence outside. I called Tom and he soon met us outside.
"Oh my god what happened?" "I don't know, I walked to the bar and she was getting beaten." I replied. I was sitting on the ground against the wall with Cadence, trying to calm her down. Her face was buried in my chest, not looking at or talking to either of us. "We need to get her home." Tom bent down and scooped her up in his arms while I called for a taxi.
When we got home, Tom called the lads and told them what had happened while I tended to Cadence. I sat her on the edge of the tub in the bathroom and she was just crying. "Cadence...calm down." she had blood pouring from her nose and her lip was bleeding too. I grabbed a towel from the sink and started cleaning her face. "Hold it to your nose." I reached for another towel just as Cadence started to cough. She leaned forward and threw up on the floor, followed by more crying. I helped her off the edge of the tub and sat her in front of the toilet. "Cadence..." I rubbed her back and looked the other way while she continued to retch. I looked down and noticed blood on her leg. I took another towel and wiped it up only to see that it was only a small scratch.
Cadence sat back and I put the towel back to her nose. "Better?" "I guess..." she mumbled. I slowly took the towel away from her face and the bleeding had slowed a bit. "Here." I gently pinched her nose and she laughed a bit. "Breath through your mouth." "Nathan...your lip..." she gently touched my mouth and I smiled a little. "I'm fine. I'm worried about you." I adjusted my position so I was sitting next to her now. I licked my thumb and gently wiped the corner of her lip and she smiled. "There." "Your top has blood all over it." "Cadence, it's fine."
Cadence
I sat with Nathan on the bathroom floor for about 20 minutes, just talking. I didn't want to get close to him, but this was nice. I was enjoy this. He was taking care of me. "Guys," we looked over as Tom appeared in the door way. "I'm gonna head to bed...you two gonna be okay?" we both nodded and Tom looked at Nathan. "Nath, can I talk to you?" Nathan helped me stand up and he left to talk with Tom while I went down to my room.
After I had changed into a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, I carefully climbed into bed. I was hurting all over. "Can I come in?" I looked over to see Nathan in the doorway. "Yeah." He walked in and sat next to me on my bed. "Are you feeling any better?" "A little, thanks." Nathan and I sat in silence for a while until he spoke again. "I'm sorry if I was scaring you at first." I looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about?" "Um...never mind. Will you tell me what happened to your leg?" I exhaled band adjusted myself so my head was resting on the pillow and my back was to Nathan. "I had an accident when I was younger...not a big deal." "What kind of accident?" I didn't reply to him, I just cuddled up under the blanket and closed my eyes.
I felt Nathan move next to me, then I felt his arm drape over me. "I'm sorry for asking, Cadence." I rolled over to face him and his arm pulled me closer to him. "It's okay." "Wait," Nathan took his hand, brushing my hair away from my face and he smiled. "Much better." I could tell I was starting to blush, so I buried my face in Nathan's chest and he just laughed. "Go to sleep..." I felt him kiss my head as his other arm wrapped around me, pulling me closer to him. "Nathan?" "Yeah?" I looked up at him and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you."
