Started with a Hickey - On Hold

Chapter 6

You Can't Leave🥝
So this is Chapter 6. Enjoy.

Quinton's P.O.V
I woke up in somebody's arms. I was confused at first forgetting where I was but soon remembered. I remembered that girl, I remembered Bryce yelling and hitting me and the last thing I remembered was falling asleep in a random park while looking up at the sky. I had been running around this place for awhile before finally settling at the park. I had no idea where everything was and it was hard to see with tears still pooling out of my eyes so when I seen the park I thought it was the perfect place to go.

What I didn't know was who's arms I was in. I looked up at the face which I couldn't really see because if the dark but when he smiled I knew it was Nick. "Hey sleepy head." He said, his voice playful. I didn't answer just started scrambling in his arms trying to get out of his grasp, scared he would think I was heavy. He just held on tighter trying to calm me down. I kept squirming until he finally put me down.

My cheeks were know tinted red with embarrassment. I looked where we were walking and it was towards a car. I squinted my eyes trying to see who was driving but couldn't make out a face. I could finally see the face and it was James. He had Nessa in the passenger seat and Chase and Payton in the back. Great one seat left. Nick opened the dorr but before he could sit down, I took the last seat and pulled him onto my lap. He didn't say a word.

I had no idea where we were or how long I was running for. Payton cleared his throat and finally spoke up. So... what happened. I had been dreading the question. Knowing it would definitely leave me in tears. I was also dreading going back to the hotel but I figured I should probably tell them the answer to the question first. " Ummm so basically I was unpacking all my stuff while Bryce was sleeping and my other roommates were at the pool. Mads and Nessa. So I was just about done unpacking when I heard a knock on the door. I expected it to be Anthony because he had invited me to the pool earlier. When I opened the door though there was a girl standing there that I had never seen before. She pushed her way through the door and past me not saying a single word. I didn't know what to say so I said nothing. I was scared she was going to hurt me or something. Anyway she started shaking Bryce and I got mad at her for doing so. I didn't know what took over me but before I knew it I was pulling her back and Bryce was waking up. I didn't mean to hurt her or anything. Bryce was comforting her when he looked at me and started yelling. He said it was his girlfriend which I didn't know. He slapped me and that's when I ran out."

I finished my story with teary eyes and looking out my window. I expected everyone to be mad at me and call me and idiot but instead I felt arms wrap around me and someone pushing there face into the crook of my neck. It was a nice genuine hug. I hugged back. When I pulled away Nick wad looking at me with sad eyes and a frown on his face. "Awww bubs it's not your fault. You didn't know and besides nobody likes her anyways." I smiled very lightly at the last part. I knew it was James. He was very sweet.

The rest of the car ride was basically silent accept people taking about what a bitch Bryce was being and how nobody liked his girlfriend. Her name was such a basic name. Kelly. (No hate if your name is Kelly. It's a great name.) I was really happy that nobody hated me or was even mad at me. I was still sad about Bryce though. I mean I liked him. Key word being liked. It wasn't until we pulled up to the hotel that I remembered I had to share a room with Bryce. My whole body became stiff and Nick gave me a questioning look.

"I can't share a room with him let alone a bed." I whispered "Shit your right. Okay how about we get you in with Jaden, Anthony and Josh." Nick answers. " No. I can't be an intrusion. I'll suck it up and sleep on the floor." Nick gave me a weird look but shrugged his shoulders at that answer. I could tell he was worried but I just lightly pushed him off of me and went in the hotel, following Nessa.

Anthony ran over and hugged me. I hugged back once again. Nessa lead me back to our room. When we opened the door I seen that Bryce was already asleep with Kelly curled up against him. It absolutely shattered my heart. I quietly walked over to where I was supposed to be sleeping and grabbed my phone seeing one thousand notifications all from one groupchat. I clicked on it and they were all talking about me and where to find me. It felt nice knowing people actually cared. I noticed that Bryce wasn't in this which was probably for the best. I seen Nick was typing then a message popped up saying basically exactly what I said to him in the car about what happened.

Everyone replied with sweet things that made me smile. When I looked up Nessa and Mads were both lying on their bed looking at their phones. I smiled at the sight thinking about what a  cute couple they would be. I stopped smiling and grabbed sweat pants from my droor going to the bathroom to put them on. When I came out, I opened the closet and took out a pillow and blanket to sleep with. "What are you doing silly." I heard Mads from behind. Shit did she not want me to sleep with anything. I took a deep breath. "Uhm j-just getting s-stuff to sleep with." I said. Stuttering in between words multiple times. Nessa gave me a sad smile before both of them scooched to the edge of the bed and patted inbetween them like they were inviting me in. I shook my head not wanting to intrude on them.

Nessa gave me a look that was almost like a warning so I sighed, the smallest smile playing at my lips and crawled in between them. I got under the blankets and sighed a sigh of relief. It felt so comfortable. About five seconds later they were both curled up against me and I couldn't complain. I mean they were both nice people and I was already comfortable with them. It was nice being held by somebody no matter how cliche that sounds.

They both fell asleep before me but I was quick to follow. I dreamed of nothing like most nights.

Chase's  P.O.V
Whenever we got back I couldn't help but feel extremely bad for Quinton. I mean he didn't know what was going on and Bryce was being a bitch. I went up to my room and crawled beside an already sleeping Noen, quickly falling asleep with his body heat radiating onto me.

When I woke up Noen was still asleep but Noah and Blake the people we were rooming with were both awake sitting at the mini table we had in our room. I sat up and went to the edge of my bed sitting on the very edge and listening to their conversation. They were talking about Bryce. They agreed with what I thought and how Bryce was being a bum cheek. (In real life I call people bum cheeks if their being annoying so I might reference it in this book a lot.) I contributed to the conversation before Noen woke up.

We were now on a walk down to the doors. Thomas, Ryland and Ondreaz got here earlier. We were leaving at like 9 so we could get to the park at 10. It was now 8. We walked back up to our room and got ready to leave. Whenever we were done we went to the meeting spot which was Ondreaz, Thomas and Rylands room. I walked through the door and they were all ready. It looked like only one bed was slept in but I just figured one of them liked to keep their room clean.

Quinton's P.O.V
I woke up around 6 and went for a run. I got back around seven, took a quick shower than got ready and left the room not wanting to spend any extra time there when Bryce and Kelly were sleeping in the same room. Everyone was still asleep so I woke up Mads and Nessa before leaving knowing that it would take them around an hour to get ready and they didn't want to show up late.

I also told them I was going for a walk. They just nodded there heads and stretched before getting up. I was out the door and out of the hotel in a matter of minutes. I texted the group chat saying that I wasn't coming back because I truly didn't want to have to face Bryce but the next text that Anthony  sent changed my mind. He said something nobody had ever said to me before, you can't leave. It felt so nice seeing somebody say that about me.

I turned around right there and walked back to the hotel. I was ready to face him even if I really didn't want to.

Okay so this is Chapter 6. I'm sorry this is waaaaay shorter that usual but I just wanted to get something out. Did I double update? yes. Do I hate this chapter? yes. Am I going to apologize? also yes. I'm sorry this us absolutely terrible and short but it is what it is. This  whole story is going to be mostly in Quintons P.O.V so yeah. Ummm yeah I think that's it for now. Have a great day.
