Unconditional [Sequel to Broken: Nash Grier]

Warnings

"I just wanted to warn you and your friends dear, we know what you're up to. And let me just tell you this; There is no escaping this. Your fate has already been set in stone." he says as he inches closer to me.

"And what if I decide to change that? I've told you before; I'm not just going to let you treat me like your toy, and obey your every command."

"You will do as I say, Lane! We have worked far too long and hard for all of this to just go to waste! I have put so much on the line and sacrificed everything I love, just to make sure that this turns out. I'm not going to let you fuck this up." he says as he pushes me against the counter.

"Well that's unfortunate for you. Because I have people on my side that I know would risk their lives for mine. I also know that there are people on my side that are actually working for you, and let me tell you, I've already identified that person."

"Person? As in singular?" he starts to laugh uncontrollably.

"What's so funny?" I inquire.

"Oh Del.. How naive and ignorant of you to think that there is only one singular person on my side that's pretending to be on yours. I know that you think you've identified one of them, but you could be wrong. Honestly, I can't believe you trust all of these people so easily. They've all given you so many reasons to be suspicious of them, and yet you always forgive them and love them, how would you put it.. unconditionally. You seem to not even notice their evil tendencies and their secretiveness. When in reality, it's clear as day. So, my dear girl, tell me how well you truly know your loved ones.. Because I'm almost positive that I know them better than you do yourself."

"You're wrong." I say as angry tears enter my eyes.

"Am I? Do you really believe that? Because I don't think you do, sweetheart."

"I want you to leave. Now." I say in a shaky voice.

"Oh I will, after this last warning for you.."

"What is it?"

"Just- Just remember who the real enemy is, Delaney. I know right now things look one way, but I guarantee that you'll see things much differently very soon. And if you don't want people getting hurt, I suggest you don't surround yourself with your loved ones too often tomorrow night at your birthday party."

"How do you know about that?"

"Hunny, who doesn't? But listen to my words, or else things will get ugly. And it'll start with that little prick of a boyfriend of yours. He won't even know what hit him.. Literally." he says with a snort and a laugh at the end.

"Get the hell out of here!" I scream and slap him across the face. Enraged, he grabs a hold of me and pulls me towards him.

"You said you wouldn't hurt me! Stop! Stop it! Help!" I scream as his nails dig into my arms, and his tight grip starts to cut off blood flow. The corner of the counter is pressing deeply into my lower back, causing shooting pains to go up my torso. His hands slowly move up to my shoulders, and further until they are enclosed around my neck.

"Seth.." I choke out as my air supply starts to get cut short. His veins are popping out of his skull, and his teeth are gripped tightly together. His face is redder than I've ever seen it before. He looks as though something has completely overtaken him, not a hint of humanity to be seen in his brown eyes. I've never seen a human look more cold and murderous than I have right now, looking into his eyes. Not even when he nearly beat me to death almost five and a half years ago now.

"Please.." I manage to get out.

His teeth start to chatter, he's clenching his facial muscles so hard. The tears helplessly slip out of my eyes as I look up into his. Something seems to pass over him, and it's evident in his eyes. His face completely relaxes and he loosens his grip on my throat, until his hand falls to his sides. I fall to the floor, gasping for air, and trying not to choke on my tears. I look up at him, and he has a pained expression on his face, what looks to be tears filling his eyes.

"I.. I'm so sorry." he says as he throws open the bathroom door and dashes towards my balcony.

As he runs through the doors, Nash bursts into the room, an infuriated look on his face. He lunges for Seth, but he's already hurtling himself over the railing, running as fast as he can. Nash stops at the door and starts swearing loudly. He turns towards the bathroom, as if remembering that I'm still here, and rushes over to me. He picks me up off of the floor and holds me against his chest.

"Are you okay? What happened?" he asks as he pulls me over to the bed.

"He just came in during my shower and started warning me about all sorts of things. And then he threatened to hurt you and I slapped him, and next thing I know, he's choking me out and then... I don't even know what happened. I was begging for him to stop and then he just looked in my eyes and started crying and let me go and then bolted for the balcony. I honestly don't know what happened." I say in a frenzy.

"Hey, it's okay Delaney. He's gone now, and hopefully he won't be back for a while."

"I don't think so. I think something is going to happen at my party tomorrow night. He hinted at it, and I would take heed of his warnings. He always seems to go through with them."

"Well I'm not going to let anything happen to you. If that means having you by my side the whole night, then so be it. I'm not going to let him or anyone else lay a finger on you, understood?"

I nod my head and feel the tears coming on again. He pulls me into his arms and grips me as hard as he can. As I look back over his shoulder, I notice something on the floor that I didn't before. I let go of Nash, and slowly walk over to it, stooping down and picking it up.

"W-who's is that?" he asks as he squats down next to me.

"It's not yours?" I ask, although I already know the answer.

"No." he whispers.

"It's his." I say in realization. I frown in confusion at first, but then let a wide smile spread across my face. "Nash, this is the best thing that could possibly happen right now; We have his phone."

A/N

Hey guys! So tomorrow I leave for the summer. :( I know, it sucks. But it's a six hour car ride up to my camp, so I think I'm going to write on the way up! (If my older sister doesn't talk my ear off the whole ride up). Also, I'm going to try to update at least twice a month throughout the summer! And I'll be back at the beginning of August, so no worries. :)

>>ALSO<<

For those of you that were here last summer around this time, you'll remember that my friend and I had this huge competition to see who could get more birthday wishes on social media, because we're stupid and petty like that. So if you guys don't mind helping me out and saving me $30, on Friday, June 12th, (a week away), if you guys could take to social media and just say a simple 'happy birthday' and tag me in it, i'll love you guys forever and always... Okay I can't love that many people so deeply, but I will follow you on your social medias!

We totally creamed Lindsey last year, and let's do it again amigas. I know it sounds petty and self-centered, but I swear I'm not just doing this for attention. I'll make an update on this story with a reminder the day before!

And a very important note!!!!! As a special birthday gift to all of you, I will be releasing the prologue to my new story, titled, "Heavy" next Friday! It's a teen fiction story, not a fanfiction, but I really hope that you guys will enjoy it as much as I'm enjoying writing it! It's not one of your stereotypical stories either, and you'll see what I mean once I release it.

I love you all so so so so much, I hope you know that.
