The Triangle

❥Warning:
Includes strong language.

-Y/N's POV-
After George told us the story, Clay returned with my family and a doctor to check if I was okay to leave today.

Once he checked me out, he sighed with a frown.

DOCTOR:
"I really advise you to stay at least an extra day." He looked at me.

DAD:
"Me too..." he sighed nervously.

Y/N:
"I—I won't do anything..." I spoke quietly while cuddling up to Clay.

Clay held me tighter with a frown. Once the doctor exchanged looks with my parents, he turned back to me.

DOCTOR:
"Alright...but you need to take it easy." He nodded.

I nodded slowly while letting my eyes fall to the floor.

My parents signed my release forms, my best friends helped me out of my bed and after some time, we made it to the parking lot.

When we made it to my parents car, my dad opened the back door for me, making me clench my jaw at it.

Y/N:
"I wanna ride with them..." I spoke quietly without meeting anyones gaze.

My father nodded, looking disappointed and sad. He shut the door.

DAD:
"We'll see you back at the house..."

Nicole glanced at me then sighed as she entered the back seat. My family took off shortly, turned around the corner and drove down the road, making tears fill my eyes as I swallowed hard. The breeze flew in my face, making my hair go behind my shoulders.

CLAY:
"Where do you wanna go...?" He spoke softly to me.

Y/N:
"Your house..." I whispered.

Clay nodded then we walked to his white car. George and Nick helped me into the back seat while Clay hopped in the drivers seat.

Once Nick shut my door, George climbed in, sitting next to me then closed his door. Instead of sitting behind Nick, I sat in the middle seat to be closer to George.

We buckled up. When he noticed I was closer to him, his eyes slightly widened. I let myself lean into his arms, holding onto him tightly as I leaned my head against the crook of his neck.

My lip quivered as I shut my eyes, I let my tears collapse on our clothes. He wrapped his arm around me and held me tightly.

GEORGE:
"I got you..." he whispered to me, making my lip quiver more, knowing my best friends have always had my back when my family didn't.

George held me the whole ride to Clay's house. Nick and George helped me upstairs to Clay's bed while Clay told his mom and aunt what happened. Along with texting my parents, telling them I'm at Clay's house. I knew my parents trusted them in my care so it'd be fine.

When I made it on the bed, I shot my gaze to Nick with a pout. He immediately knew to climb into bed with me and hold me. He wrapped his arm around me as I laid on my side, nuzzling up to him as I leaned my head on his chest.

George looked at us for a moment before turning away with a slight frown. He walked to the window and gazed out of it.

Y/N:
"George...?" I asked quietly while staring at him.

His head shot to me as he raised his eyebrows.

GEORGE:
"Yeah?"

Y/N:
"Will everything be okay...?" I frowned.

George exchanged a look with Nick then nodded slowly at me with a light smile.

GEORGE:
"Yeah...everything will be okay..."

My eyes fell to the dresser.

Y/N:
"What if it's not...?"

Nick and George exchanged another glance then George sat down at the end of the bed.

GEORGE:
"It will be, I promise."

Y/N:
"What if it's not...?"

George nodded while deep in thought, his eyes fell to the comforter.

GEORGE:
"If it's not okay then...we'll make it okay." He smiled at Nick.

Nick rubbed my arm with a smile.

NICK:
"He's right...we'll always be there for you..." he spoke softly to me.

I tilted my head up to meet Nick's gaze. His cheeks tinted a darker shade while scanning my features. My eyes fell to his lips then back up to meet his eyes. He did the same to me as he swallowed hard.

Suddenly, Clay came in the room, making both of us jerk our heads to him.

CLAY:
"I told them what happened and they ordered a huge pizza for us all to share, along with ice cream." He lightly smiled at us.

GEORGE:
"I could go for both right now." His lips curled up.

CLAY:
"Same." He lightly chuckled then his eyes fell back to Nick and I.

Y/N:
"C—can um...can we all sleep here tonight...?" I asked quietly while staring at the carpet.

CLAY:
"Should be fine, right?" He exchanged glances with George and Nick, making them nod.

I gazed at the carpet again as my thoughts took over of what all has happened.

Y/N:
"Thank you..."

CLAY:
"It's no worries. We would've stayed anyways." He smiled.

Y/N:
"No...I mean..." I swallowed hard as slight tears filled my eyes, "Thank you for...for being you...all of you...if I never met you guys...my life wouldn't be complete...you guys mean the world to me and...I never wanna lose you..."

The tears over flooded my eyes while glancing at all of them.

GEORGE:
"You make us feel complete too, Y/N..." he smiled with a blush.

CLAY:
"Agreed." He also smiled with a blush.

I tilted my head up to see Nick's red cheeks.

NICK:
"It's true." He smiled at me.

I released a shaky breath out while letting my eyes shut in Nick's embrace.

Y/N:
"I love you guys..."

They all murmured that they love me too. That's when I let my eyes rest from the long day.

-NICK's POV-
When Y/N shut her eyes, I knew she'd fall asleep easily. My eyes shot up to Clay and George as my cheeks started to heat up.

They exchanged a glance with nods.

GEORGE:
"Stay here with her..." he lightly smiled while standing up.

NICK:
"I—I don't have to if—"

CLAY:
"Nick—" he interrupted me with a sad smile, "You always step back for us...we've noticed...you can have the moment, it's okay."

I gulped nervously while darting my eyes between them.

CLAY:
"You deserve it..."

George nodded. I sighed as a smile slowly started to form on my face. Then the two of them left the room, shutting the door behind them.

Then I glanced down at the sleeping beauty. She was sound asleep. I moved a strand of hair out of her face and placed it behind her ear gently while admiring her. Then, I kissed her forehead then leaned my forehead against hers with a content smile.

Her lips curled up slowly in her sleep, making my smile widen as I shut my eyes, grateful for this moment with my sleeping beauty. Then I drifted off to sleep in her warm embrace, feeling safe.
