Insecure! Suicidal! Corbyn Besson X Reader | 3/5

Give me a little credit,

SKIP ~ L/N
"I'm right here, you know that. I'm not leaving." I say firmly, stopping the car at the end of the driveway.

I remember when I was that pathetic,

He's made no effort to get ready this morning, putting on the clothes I threw at him which consists of a pair of black jeans, a white shirt and a black zip up hoodie.
(Pictured above but without all the bracelets.(The rings can stay))

Wear my scars on my sleeve,

His hair is  bit messy as he turns to look at me so I reach up and run my fingers through it, fixing it up quickly, "Come on. Let's go in." I say when I'm done.

For all the world to see,

We exit the car together and I quickly take his hand, squeezing it reassuringly as we make our way up to the front door.

Like look what they did to me quick,

"Y/N! Corbyn!" A voice shouts from behind us and we turn around, "Dani!" I shout back and he smiles as he runs towards us, hugging us both when he gets to us.

Lay on the sympathy thick,

We walk into the house together, greeting the others. I sit on the couch beside Jonah and Corbyn sits on the ground in front of me, his body between my legs.

You probably have the right to feel how you do

"So whats up? You guys seem down." Daniel says. I reach down and take one of Corbyn's hands, squeezing gently.

You were mistreated and cheated,

"I uhh..." Corbyn starts, unsure how to explain. He looks up at me with pleading eyes and I sigh gently.

Out of the childhood you needed,

"Give him a minute." I say, but Corbyn squeezes my hand harder, "You tell them I can't." His voice breaks at the end of his sentence and he turns to bury his face in my leg.

And now you'll never succeed,

"Tell us what?" Eben asks slowly. I frown, "His parents..." I trail off.

If you're so convinced you're defeated,

"What about them? Are they alright?" Jack says. I roll my eyes, "It's not them you should be worried about." I growl, "They're fine."

If you're obsessed with your yesterday,

"Then whats the matter? Stop being cryptic!" Zach complains, a few heads nodding along with his words.

Then you're destined to repeat it,

They start arguing among themselves and I sigh, Corbyn's tears soaking into my jeans. "They abuse Corbyn!" I yell, stunning them into silence.

And I know it's not your fault,

"Dude..." Jack whispers, his eyes wide, "What the fuck..."

It never is,

"He had a twin brother." I explain, "Born a few minutes before him. His parents didn't want two of them though so they abused Corbyn."

Is it,

Jonah places his hand on Corbyn's shoulder as he shakes with sobs, reality hitting him once again.

Is it,

"So what happened to the twin?" Eben asks. "Dead." I reply blankly, "Car crash three weeks ago."

Is it?

"The abuse got worse, I had to run away." Corbyn's mournful voice interrupts me, "I was in the car with him and my condition was worse but he was still the one that died."

I know what it's like staying up all night,

 "How come we didn't know about the crash?" Zach asks finally. I shrug, "Same way you didn't know about his twin brother, Corbyn didn't want you guys to know."

Nursing wounds,

"You knew about this?!?" Jack exclaims. I roll my eyes, "I've known since I met Corbyn six years ago, I've known about the abuse, the brother, how much he wanted to just give up."

It takes more than I have,

Daniel stands up and moves to sit beside Corbyn, leaning against my leg, "Bean..." He mumbles, and Corbyn meets his eyes.

Pick fights with the past,

"It's not your fault. It's mine, I should've told you all earlier." He says as Daniel pulls him into a hug.

I always lose,

I shake my head, "Uh uh, if anything it's my fault. I should've gotten you out of that situation the moment I found out." I say firmly, "I knew, but I held back because you said you had it under control but it was never under control, was it?"

Oh, don't you know?

The boys converge on Daniel and Corbyn, Jonah pulling me off the couch to be close to Corbyn. Daniel moves out of the way slightly and I end up between them, my head buried in Corbyn's chest.

That's no way to live

"I should've just let you help me." He mumbles, "I should've let you save me."

I know what it's like staying up all night,

The boys pull away slightly as Corbyn makes me look up at him, "You've always been here for me, I'm so sorry."

Nursing wounds,

"For what?" I ask, "You've got nothing to be sorry for."

I know what it's like staying up all night,

Corbyn's phone starts ringing and Eben picks it up, we look to him and he shakes his head, "It's your mom. You're never going back, you hear me?" He says.

Nursing wounds,

Corbyn smiles gently, looking back to me, "I'm never going back to that life. Everything but Jordan and Ashley is dead to me now."

It takes more than I have,

I push my lips against his, locking us together in an intimate embrace. He seems surprised, but I know it was his intention all along, he just expected to be the one to initiate it.

Pick fights with the past,

He kisses back as the boys around us look away, letting us just be together.

I always lose,

We pull away after a few more seconds, "Fuck you." I mutter, "If I'd known I would've kissed you so much earlier."

Oh, don't you know?

He chuckles and brushes a lock of my hair away from my face, "Worth the wait?"

That's no way to live,

I nod my head, "Definitely." The boys sit on the floor around us, leaning on various items of furniture with smiles on their faces.

I know what it's like staying up all night,

Eben joins us on the floor, "Fucking finally, you could just sense the tension between them." He mutters to Jonah, making Corbyn and I laugh.

Nursing wounds.
