Unconditional [Sequel to Broken: Nash Grier]

At Last

CHAPTER 17:

(Delaney's POV)

We walked onto set with out hands woven together, ignoring the many jaws dropping and whispers sounding in out ears. I squeezed his hand tighter and he looked at me with a gentle smile.

No, we are not dating.. yet. But I can tell that it's not far off. We both know that our love for one another never went away, and is stronger than ever now. We can't deny the immense amount of lust and need that we feel towards the other person.

"People are staring." I whispered in his ear.

"Let them. They're irrelevant." he whispered back.

I wasn't as worried about other people saying stuff, than I was about Matt. He hardly trusts Nash, even though it had been all a huge misunderstanding. Although, I can't argue that the things said towards me, previous to the confession between us, were exactly sweet. They had cut me deep and left open to bleed. But Nash and I have talked through everything, and the amount of remorse that we both feel for what went down between us is overwhelming.

We made our way over to our chairs and sat down cautiously, never breaking the grip that we had on each other's hands.

Matt caught my eye from across the room and raised his eyebrows. I simply shrugged my shoulders and gave him a weak smile. He politely excuses himself from the conversation he was in and walked over to me. Nash's has tightened on mine.

"So.. What's this?" He asked curiously.

I looked between Nash and Matt, each of them giving me expectant looks. I didn't actually know how to respond to him, cause we didn't really have a label.

"We love each other Matt. And I know I've messed up a lot in the past, but this is real. I care for Laney more than anything, and nothing is going to change that. I hope you can forgive me for all the shit I've done towards the two of you. I really do miss our friendship." Nash answered for me.

Matt gave him a skeptical look as he examined the two of us. I gave him a pleading look with my eyes, and he sighed.

"As long as you two are happy, I'm happy". He finally said.

Nash released my hand and stood up, embracing Matt in a long hug. My heart warmed at the sight. I waited patiently for them to finish before launching myself at him.

He wrapped me up tightly in his arms as I expressed my gratitude towards him. He's truly become my second older brother over time, and I couldn't be more thankful for him.

"I trust you guys know what you're doing. I really am so happy for you two." He whispered in my ear.

"Thank you Matt." I said quietly.

He pulled away from me and gave me a curt nod, squeezing my hand in reassurance of his approval.

Approval. That sounds so odd. He's a mere two months older than me, yet I feel like I am his young and naive, teenage daughter.

"Well I have to go over to makeup. I'll see you lovebirds later, alright?" Matt asked us with a smile.

"Bye Matty." I waved as he disappeared in the crowd of actors and crew members.

"Well that went better than expected." Nash said with a little laugh.

I rolled my eyes, but nodded my head in agreement. I was expecting Matt to blow up completely in my face. I was glad that he had finally decided to put the past behind him and allow all of us to move on and be happy. I don't know what I would have done if things had gone differently.
