A/N Okay so this one was too long for me to make into 1 chapter. I wanted it to be good and to do that, I had to do another chapter. So if you didn't read the first one, make sure to read it first! 🖤
-----next morning-----
I woke up excitedly, jumping out of bed and getting ready. I looked in the mirror and noticed the large red mark on my cheek that was turning purple from last night.
"Shit." I muttered to myself, trying to cover it with concealer. "That will have to do."
I did my hair and climbed out the window, not wanting to get stopped by my parents again. No thank you! I walked to the cafe where I told Cc to meet me and the whole way there, I was bursting with excitement and nervousness.
I walked inside and ordered my drink, turning to look for Cc. I saw him in a corner booth waving to me and I waved back. I got my drink (they actually spelled my name right this time ;)) and walked over to the booth, sliding in next to Cc.
"Hello." I greeted.
"Hello!" Cc said back, taking a sip of his coffee. "How are you?"
"Eh. I'm alright I guess." I said.
"Just alright? Anything I can do to make it better?" He asked
"Just meeting you made it better." I answered honestly.
"Aww. Well I'm glad."
We got to talking and eventually Cc stopped in the middle of a sentence and looked at me intently.
"Morgan. What happened to your face?" He asked, reaching out to try and touch my cheek.
"Oh It's nothing Cc. Really it's fine." I tried to cover my cheek with my hair, but Cc grabbed my hand.
"What happened?" He repeated.
I quickly made up a lie.
"Yesterday in the crowd, someone elbowed me by accident." I said, looking away.
I could tell Cc didn't believe me.
"You know you can talk to me right? Morgan. What really happened?" He asked.
I looked up and my eyes met his. I felt tears forming in my eyes and tried my hardest to hold them back. Cc noticed and stood up, pulling me with him, and led me to his car. He opened the door for me and I got in, he walked to the other side and did the same.
"Look at me Morgan." He said, taking my hands in his. "I want to help you, but you have to tell me what's going on."
He took a bottle of water and pored some on a napkin. He reached over to wipe my makeup off and I pulled away. He gave me a pleading look and put his other hand on my cheek to hold me while he gently wiped my makeup off. I was crying at this point. When he was done, he just looked at me, holding my hands again.
"Tell me what happened."
"I got home yesterday and my dad hit me for going out." I sobbed.
"Oh sweetheart."
He let go of one of my hands and wrapped his arm around the back of my head, pulling me into his shoulder. I cried into him and he let me, whispering comforting things to me. After a while, I calmed down and Cc asked where I lived. I gave him the address and he drove me home. When we got there, he spoke to me again.
"Morgan. I love you. I've loved you since the first time I saw you yesterday." He said.
"Me too." Was all I could manage to say.
A look of relief washed over Cc and he pulled me into a soft, tender kiss. He wasn't rough. He wasn't hungry. He didn't ask for more. It was just love. We pulled away a moment later and Cc wrapped an arm around me.
"I promise I will get you out of this." He whispered in my ear.
I simply nodded before getting out of the car and climbing back through my window, Cc watching the whole time. I looked back at him once I had gotten inside and saw him mouth the word 'tomorrow'. I nodded and closed the window, flopping down on my bed and falling asleep to escape the world.
------tomorrow bc I'm lazy!!-----
I got a call from Cc the next morning. I picked up the phone and heard a commotion in the background.
"Morgan. Sorry about the noise, we're packing up to head to Phoenix. We're leaving in a couple hours." He said.
"You're leaving? Already? Cc but what am I going to do? I need you."
"I know you do. You can't stay there. I can't let you stay there. Come with me. Please. Run away with me. I know it's a lot but-"
"Yes" I cut him off. "Yes Cc. I will."
"Come to the venue. I'll be at the front gate. I love you." He said.
I hung up and dragged out my suitcase, throwing in everything of value, which wasn't much, and all my clothes. Once done, I threw it out my window and climbed out after it, landing quietly on the ground. My heart was racing as I ran to the venue and saw Cc at the gate. I ran up to him, dropping my suitcase, and he wrapped his arms around me, burying his face in my neck. He let go of me and picked up my bag, carrying it to the bus and putting it on his bunk.
"Guys, this is Morgan. She's coming with us." Cc said, introducing me to the rest of the guys.
The all said hello and we got along pretty quickly. We all sat down and watched a movie, my head resting on Cc's shoulder.
A few hours later, we arrived in Phoenix and the guys had a show that night (which was awful). I was allowed to watch from the side as they played and when their set was over, Cc motioned for me to come out.
"Everyone! I would like to introduce my new girlfriend, Morgan." He said.
Cc leaned in and kissed me softly and the crowd cheered. Well, all except the few jealous people who liked Cc. I heard a couple insults thrown my way and tears started to form in my eyes. Cc noticed and pulled me into a hug, walking me off stage.
"Baby, don't let it get to you. It doesn't matter. I love you." He said, kissing the top of my head.
"I love you too."
