Beautiful Minds (NG)

Chapter Eight

*El's POV*

"That was fun, thanks for inviting me." I say to Nash. He was dropping me off at my house after dinner. We were standing on the porch, Cam was in the car.

"My pleasure, I'm glad you had a good time" he says, playing with my hands.

"I really should head in. I have school tomorrow."

He sighed.

"Alright. Sleep tight beautiful." he said pulling me into a hug.

"See you tomorrow?"

I pulled back so I could look up at him.

"Definitely." I said smiling.

He kissed my forehead and started walking back to his car.

Just as I was stepping inside, I hear him say my name.

"El?"

"Yeah?," I reply turning my head back.

"I might be in love with you."

With that he runs back into the car.

I close the door and sit down, my back against the door.

I smile and put my head in my hands.

I can't believe this. He's everything I've ever wanted and more. He really cares about me.

"Brielle?"

I look up.

"Oh, hey Dad."

Crap. It's an hour past my curfew.

"Dad, I was at a restaurant."

"Brielle. I don't want to hear it. You know your Mom and I haven't been getting along. You need to be home on time, I can't deal with you being late."

"It's not my fault you guys hate each other."

Whoops. I didn't mean to say that.

"Your grounded. Go up to your room."

My eyes go wide. My dad never grounds me.

"Dad I-"

"NOW"

I ran upstairs. My Dad never yells at me like that.

I could feel the tears coming. I ran into my room and shut the door.

I locked my door and got into the shower.

I really hope that this gets better. I can't stand to see my Mom so upset, and more importantly my siblings.

Just as I finish getting dressed, I hear a knock on my door.

"El?"

It's the twins.

I open the door and let them in.

"It's ok guys." I say bringing them into a hug. They both start crying.

"You guys can sleep in here tonight. It will be like a sleepover!" I say trying to cheer then up.

"Really!" They both say in unison.

"Go get your pillows and come in here!"

They both go racing out of the room.

I get up and find my phone.

I scroll through my mentions while I wait. I was about to go see if the twins needed help, but I see a picture of me and Nash at dinner.

Cameron Dallas: Had a great time with these two😊 @nashgrier @briellethompson
