The Truth Comes Out Eventually... // Nate Maloley

Chapter 2

The next morning I woke up in my car. My make up was smudged all over my face mainly from crying. Dried tears stained my checks, my clothes were ripped and I was covered in bruises from head to toe. And the worst part from all this is that I remembered everything that happened. Every single detail. From what happened with Nate to what happened when I left. And to top it off the situation with Nate was the better part of my night. I started my car and left the random parking lot I somehow managed to find and began driving back to the house. As I reached our driveway I started to get nervous. What was I going to tell the guys. I knew exactly what I wasn't going to tell them. I couldn't. I have never been so embarrassed and hurt in my life. I was feeling so many emotions and I have no one to talk to. I took a deep breath and walked through the door. Just my luck all the guys were up watching tv.

"Woah." Jack Johnson said. He was one of my brothers friends that I lived with.

"Rough night?" Jack Gilinsky, another roommate, joked. But by my silence they knew something serious happened. "You good?" Gilinsky said now sounding more concerned. I could see Nate staring at me with pity but I didn't give him the time of day.

I grabbed the bottle of Ciroc that was with all our alcohol we keep in the house and headed to my room not saying a single word to anyone.

"Mads..." I head Sammy yelling from the bottom of the stairs as I closed and locked my door.

Seconds later I heard pounding at my door and I had a feeling it wasn't just Sammy standing on the other side.

"What happened?" Sam said

"It's 9:30 in the morning Maddy, you don't need to be drinking." Gilinsky said

"Talk to us." Johnson said.

"Open the door Mads, this isn't funny." Nate demanded.

After about an hour of them trying to get me to open the door they eventually gave up. I ended up taking a shower and changing. I laid on my bed and cried myself into a deep sleep. When I woke up it was a little after 7. I got up to check my phone and just like I expected I had a bunch of texts and missed calls from the guys. As I headed back to bed I saw a note that was shoved under my door.

Mads,

We are heading out for a little. We should be back by 8. If you need anything, anything at all let us know.

What happened last night? Why wont you talk to us. This isn't like you and you are starting to scare us. At least text us and let us know you are okay.

We love you,

Sammy, Gilinsky, J & Nate

As I was reading the note the tears poured down my face. I didn't mean to worry them but I cant tell them what happened. I'm to embarrassed. And besides it's over now, it's not like they can fix this or anything. I decided to group text them so they would let me be and I can forget everything that happened in the last 24 hours. Or at least try to forget.

*From: Mads*

I'm fine. Sorry for my dramatic moment.

Not even a minute past and they were already blowing up my phone.

*From: Sammy

Glad to finally hear from you sis.

*From: Johnson*

Mads and a dramatic moment?!? That is so unlike you

I could practically hear the sarcastic comment coming from Johnson and it made me laugh a little. I'm glad him and Sam were lightening the mood.

*From: G*

What the fuck happened though, I've never seen you like that before... That was way more than a dramatic moment.

Jack G and I have always been close. Sometimes I felt like he was more of a brother than Sammy was. Jack was always looking out for me. I loved that boy.

*From: Mads*

Just forget it.. Im fine. Thank you guys for being so concerned but I can handle myself.

*From: Nate*

Getting drunk at 9:30 in the morning ? You can totally handle yourself Mads, good job.

*From: Mads*

Who asked you Nate. Fuck off.

*From: Sammy*

Ease up Nate. Mads he's right though. We aren't just going to forget about this. Just tell us.

I decided to shut my phone off. I told them I was fine. They didn't need any explanation from me. I'm 18 years old and can handle myself. Most of the time.
