i'm tired.
i'm exhausted, actually.
cutting off my parents was the most mentally draining experience of my life. since then, i have been publicly bashed by my family online, have had voicemails left by my parents calling me horrible things, and received threats from family members not even willing to hear my side of the story.
i knew this would happen, i knew it. all along, that's why i waited this long to cut off micheal and laura. it's over now, i can't go back and let them shove me around again. i lean my head back and close my eyes, tears falling down my face that i've been hiding all day.
i bury my head in my hands, a strangled sob wracking my body. i hear the door open, but i don't move to see who it is. the familiar smell of armani cologne fills my nose as chase wraps his arms around me tightly, pulling me into his chest as i sob.
"it's okay." he murmurs, rubbing my back.
"no it's not." i choke out. "they're my parents, they're my family, they're threatening me and saying i'm a horrible person, nothing about this is okay!" i half-yell, chase pulling away slightly.
"kansas, what're you talking about?"
"i cut off my mom and dad and now everyone hates me." i explain, chase hugging me tightly again.
"kansas, everyone does not hate you. carter doesn't hate you, jolee doesn't hate you, waylon doesn't hate you, drew doesn't hate-"
"everyone would be happier if i wasn't even here." i murmur, pulling away and looking up at him. "what's the point?"
chase's eyes watered, he tugs me into a hug again, running a hand up and down my back, he knows how much i hate people playing with my hair.
"listen to me, don't ever, ever think that. okay, i love you, and so does the rest of the cast, and your family, and not the ones who are calling you a horrible person." he's crying now too, head buried in my shoulder as mine lays on his chest.
"you don't get it." i mutter. "you don't get it and you never will, chase, this isn't something that's going to go away. everyone thinks i'm doing something wrong- no, they know i'm doing something wrong. i just- they always do this. make me the villain in every situation because i'm the one who has the most to lose because of it. they'll do anything, i mean anything to ruin my career st this point."
"i know, i know." he mutters, rubbing circles on my back, but pulling away slightly so i can face him. "i'm really sorry, kan. you don't deserve this. you are loved, by me, by so many other people. please, please don't ever think otherwise."
i put my head on his chest again, my eyes are heavy.
"sleep in here tonight." i whisper, my words slightly slurred. my arms wrap tightly around chase's waist, pulling us impossibly closer as he lays down.
"okay, i will." he assures, one of his arms wrapping around my waist while the other one continues to rub my back.
"i love you too." i mutter.
"what?" he asks.
"you told me you loved me. i love you too." i repeat, snuggling into chase's chest, the two of us falling asleep not long after.
