Broken

Chapter 10.

"I found her." I heard a loud banging noise, and was instantly woken up I opened my eyes to see Levi, Dylan, and Justin all looking through the door probably to see if they had woken me up or not.

"What are you weirdo's doing?" I questioned.

"We didn't know where you went so we went looking for you, and tada we found you!" Dylan answered I rolled my eyes.

"What time is it?"

"Don't worry about it, just go back to sleep we didn't mean to wake you, we just wanted to check on you." Levi replied they shut the door, and I stared at the ceiling for a while trying to make myself fall asleep again.

"Hey what's wrong princess?" Tyler asked as I climbed into his bed with him. I couldn't have been more than nine years old.

"I can't sleep, I had a bad dream." I whimpered.

"Shh I got you." He replied massaging my head, and playing with my hair.

A tear rolled down my cheek as I turned to my right, and saw Tyler laying next to me looking right at me. I gasped

"Shh princess I got you." He whispered. I started crying harder Dylan came running into the room, and kneeled beside me.

"Hey, it's okay what's wrong?" He asked trying but failing to wipe the tears away.

"He w-was here." I cried out Dylan looked at me questioningly, but didn't say anything more about it.

"Want me to get Justin?" He asked after a minute I nodded.

"Don't leave." I begged when he started to stand up, he knelt back down, and pulled his phone out.

"Hey, you need to come up here." He pressed end, and you could literally hear Justin running up the stairs, and finally bursting through the door.

"What happened?" He came running up to me inspecting me.

"I was laying here, and I was remembering when we were little, and how I would sometimes lay with him, and when I turned around he was here laying with me." I know how crazy I sounded, but I swear he was here! I cried Justin kneeled down beside me.

"Hey, hey it's fine don't cry." He said taking his thumbs, and wiping the tears from my face.

"It's not fine, I'm not fine Justin!" I cried harder. Justin moved from the floor, and pulled me up with him.

"Come with me." He said leading me out of the room we were going downstairs I hid my face in his neck so no one could see me crying even though I'm sure they all knew what I was doing. Justin pulled me outside, and sat me down on the grass. "Alright breathe baby in and out." He kept saying I tried to listen, but I didn't want to, I didn't want to keep breathing when Tyler would never breathe again it isn't fair! "Mar you're not breathing, please in and out." Justin begged.

"I don't want to Justin, it isn't fair, why do I get to keep breathing, when he doesn't?" I asked tears falling down my face Justin grabbed me, and held me to his chest.

"I don't want to hear you talk like that ever again! It's not your fault, even if you would have gone with him it still could have happened. We can't change the past, and we can't blame ourselves for everything that has happened either! You and I along with Charlie, and everyone else are going to get through this okay." He stated it was getting harder for me to catch my breath from crying so much.

"Breathe in and out." Justin whispered in my ear holding me tighter to his chest. I listened this time knowing there was nothing else I could do at the moment. "I don't want to hear you talk about this anymore do you understand?" Justin started. "It's bad enough we lost him, but I can't imagine losing you too." He kissed the top of my head, squeezing me tighter to his chest. I knew he was right I should stop thinking and talking like that especially around him, and I definitely can't talk like that in front of Charlie.

"Can I talk to her for a few minutes, alone?" Natalie asked walking up behind us.

"Yeah of course." Justin said letting me go, and walking back inside while Natalie sat down in front of me grabbing my hands.

"Alright lets you and I have a little chat, since we haven't had a chance to since this all happened." She started I looked up at her, and nodded waiting for her to continue. "I never thought this would happen, we were supposed to be forever you know?" She started sniffling "Yeah, we broke up, but everyone including us knew that Tyler, and I were endgame. I mean he was definitely the one for me. I loved him, and I know he loved me, and you of course he may have loved you more than me honestly." She said chuckling, then made me chuckle with her.

"Not possible everyone knows I annoyed him more than anyone even Charlie." I commented she laughed harder.

"True, but you were his girl, he would have done anything for you, and you know it. Hell everyone knew not to mess with you, cause if Tyler found out all hell would break loose." She laughed.

"It was that way for both of you, and you both know it." Kate stated walking up behind us, making us both jump. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you Justin said you girls wanted some time alone, just wanted to make sure everything was ok." She added.

"We're going to be just fine, aren't we?" Natalie asked looking at me.

"Yes we are we got each other, the guys, and you and Ray we're gonna get through this together." I said standing up with Natalie embracing her in a group hug.
