pt.5

plot: you and hollis have been in a toxic relationship for a year, you two cut things off again a month ago and he finally reached out to you

a/n: more writing in this part! lowkey brought back mems writing this

there it was, that feeling. the feeling you always got when you got too comfortable with hollis. dread? regret? dissapointment?

you couldn't describe it but it always felt the same. you wanted to listen to the voice in your head telling you it wasn't true, that this is exactly what she wanted to happen. she wants you to doubt everything. she wants you to doubt him.

but it wasn't strong enough or loud enough to change anything. and you had to sit there in his bed, in his house, and wait for answers. if you texted, he would just tell you that he'll talk about it when he gets home.

so that's what you did. phone off. the sooner he realized you weren't answering, the sooner he would come home.

and that only took an hour.

you heard the door open and started to hear voices.. multiple voices. and it wasn't in your mind this time.

"bro she's probably sleep. you made us come all the way back for nothing" roman's voice was echoing through the hallway.

you heard hollis' footsteps getting closer to the door of the bedroom. "nah, i know something's wrong. she always answers."

cool. now there's an audience.

the door swung open and hollis walked in with ryan and roman following behind him. his eyes immediately landed on you, sitting on the bed with your knees up to your chest with your phone face down beside you.

"y/n are you good?" he tried sounding casual but you could hear the concern behind his voice, "why aren't you answering your phone?"

you looked at ryan and then roman, still standing in the doorway.

"can we talk?" you said quietly, "alone."

hollis turned to look at his friends, then at you, then at his friends again.

"yeah, can you guys give us a minute?"

ryan was already backing out of the room, "we'll be in the living room."

roman lingered for a second, just looking between the two of you. he gave hollis a look that said nothing less than "you're fucked" then followed behind ryan.

hollis shut the door then walked over and sat next to you on the bed, "what's wrong?"

even though you knew you weren't wrong for confronting him, it always felt like a humiliation ritual. but isn't that just part of the game?

you took a deep breath to gather all the courage you needed to get out a few words, "brianna texted me."

his entire body tensed, and his expression changed from worry to disgust, "what?"

"she texted me. she says she talked to you at the club last night" you watched his face carefully before continuing, "said that's why we left. and why you were so mad."

"y/n.. that's not-" he stopped himself. bringing her up frustrated him, "what else did she tell you?"

"so it's true? you did talk to her?"

"fuck no. i mean i did see her but i never talked to her."

"then why would she tell me that?"

"because she's fuckin crazy, y/n. she wants you to think im chasing her or some shit!"

"well, it's working." your voice cracked, making you sit up completely straight to stop yourself from crying, "because i know i was so drunk. and- and i can't remember anything. now she's telling me you two talked and you're saying you didn't. who am i supposed to believe?"

hollis stood up, getting increasingly annoyed by the situation, his voice was getting louder, "so you're gonna believe her over me? after everything you're really jus gonna take her word?"

"im not-" you started to defend yourself but he quickly cut you off.

"nah, you are. you're sitting here actin like i did something wrong when i didn't do shit. she came up to me, yeah. tried talking. but i walked away. that's all that happened"

"then why didn't you tell me?" you stood up too, arms folded over your chest, "why was she the one to tell me?"

"because i didn't wanna ruin the night. you were having a good time and i didn't wanna to ruin your mood over a girl that doesn't even matter."

"but she does matter hollis! she's everywhere, she has my number somehow. she was watching me at the club last night!"

hollis rolled his eyes at your words, "okay? what am i supposed to do about that? i can't control where she goes, y/n"

"the least you could've done was tell me. instead of pulling me out of there without saying anything!"

he got closer to you, jaw clenched, "oh, you wanna talk about not telling each other things? what about you all over my friends, grinding on them and shit. you think i wanna see that shit?"

you couldn't believe what you were hearing. there's no way he was bringing this up and now of all times.

"are you serious right now? i was dancing with YOUR friends. i was having fun, that's literally it. you are not gonna flip this on me. that has nothing to do with this situation."

"im jus sayin. maybe if you weren't so busy throwing yourself at them you would've saw i was never near her."

"throwing myself?" you stopped, the only thing you could do was scoff and laugh at the irony of it all.

all you wanted was answers. a clear answer. and now he's making it a whole thing that it doesn't have to be.

"you know what? fuck this." you scrambled around the room collecting all your things you could see and shoving it into the bag you always kept at his house.

"what are you doing?" hollis asked, watching you put your shoes on.

"what does it look like i'm doing? i'm leaving. i am not doing this with you."

his demeanor changed. his body untensed and he looked at you like his whole world shattered.

"y/n.. come on. don't leave"

"i can't stay. you're accusing me of throwing myself at your friends instead of just being honest? i asked you one question and you made it about me and what i was doing."

"because you never believe me" his voice almost raised again, but he caught himself when he saw how you were only getting angrier, "everytime we talk about her, you always act like im hiding things from you."

"because i always find things out through her and not you!" you quickly answered, zipping up your bag.

"i told you what happened. i saw her, we left. what else am i supposed to say?"

"i want you to not make me feel like the bad guy for asking questions. i want you to reassure me, not attack me."

"i'm not. i'm jus sayin-"

"i don't want to hear it."

you moved towards the door, trying to leave the room. but he quickly blocked it with his entire body, stopping you from going further.

"y/n. wait. let's jus talk about this."

you let out a deep sigh, throwing your arms up, "hollis, move."

"baby, please don't leave." he pleaded, back against the door. "i know i shouldn't have said that. don't go."

"move hollis."

"jus give me a second to-"

"hollis, i swear to god, let me go." your voice was firm, even though you were still holding back enough tears to fill the ocean.

but he didn't move. he just quietly stood there, looking at you as if that was gonna make you change your mind suddenly.

"please," his voice was almost a whimper, "we can figure this out."

"no. i can't right now. i need space."

"how much space? how long?"

"long enough for me to go back home? just let me leave."

he shook his head, "you jus need to sleep on it. stay here and if you still need space in the morning, then you can-"

"hollis." you were looking him dead in the eyes for the first time this entire conversation, "move."

something in your tone must've made him realize that this was not going to go his way. he slowly moved out of the way, giving you just enough room to get out the door before he could change his mind.

you stormed out the room, down the hallway and into.... the living room. where ryan and roman were sitting on the couch.

they had the tv on but it was obvious they were listening to the whole argument.

the room was silent. roman looked at ryan, and ryan was staring at the floor. neither of them said anything.

you just kept walking towards the front door but hollis called out to you.

"baby, stop, please don't do this."

"hollis, leave me alone."

ryan cleared his throat, and stood up, "uh..y/n. do you need a ride"

hollis looked at him, that same anger and annoyance from earlier returned, "bro what?"

"im just asking-"

"nah, you're not taking her anywhere." he said firmly, and ryan slowly sat back down. regretting even involving himself.

you looked at hollis then ryan, hand still on the handle of the door, "im fine. i can get an uber."

roman spoke up this time, "i can take her if you want."

you turned your head so fast it almost snapped, "absolutely not."

he looked confused at your immediate refusal, almost offended you said no so quickly, "what? im just trying to help.."

“that’s not happening.”

hollis looked between you and his friends in disbelief that they were actually trying to help you leave.

“bro, nobody is taking her home. she’s staying here”

roman just threw his hands up and defense and they both went back to ‘watching tv’

“i am not staying here.” you said, pulling your phone out to order yourself an uber. you wanted this to be over with. this was not how the conversation was supposed to go and it’s only worse that it happened in front of his friends that already think you’re crazy.

hollis noticed and walked over to you, trying to take your phone out of your hand, “jus let me drive you. please.”

you snatched it away from him, “no. i said no.”

“but y/n. i can-”

“i said no, hollis”

he ran a hand over his face. it was clear he was getting frustrated but trying to play it cool in front of his friends. “then i’ll follow the uber to make sure you get home.”

“i really don’t need you to do that.”

“too bad. i’m gonna do it anyway”

at this point, you were too exhausted to even argue back about it. he wouldn’t listen no matter what you said.

you finally opened the app and ordered the uber. five minutes away.

“it’s gonna be here in 5”

and again, those were the longest five minutes of your life. you were standing at the door, bag still on your arm and hollis was pacing around the room which only made you more nervous. roman and ryan were sitting on the couch, staring at the movie they put on like statues.

hollis finally spoke up again, “you’re being dramatic.”

you side eyed him, turning your whole body to face him. “i’m the one being dramatic? hollis, you accused me of throwing myself at your friends all because i wanted answers.”

“i didn’t mean it like that-”

“well, you said it like that.” your voice started shaking again and the tears burned your eyes begging for you to just let it go. but you couldn’t. not in front of everybody. “and now you’re trying to make me feel bad for leaving when you made it worse.”

“i was just-” he stopped when he heard your uber pull up into his driveway, headlights shining through the window of the door. “shit.”

you opened the door without saying anything else.

“y/n, jus wait.”

and you should’ve kept walking. but something in his voice stopped you and when you turned around he looked like he had just lost everything you two had forever.

“ill text you when i get home, hollis.”

“can you talk to me tomorrow?”

“i don’t know. maybe.”

that answer devastated him. “maybe?”

“i don’t know right now, hollis. i just… i don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

you walked out before he could beg you again. basically running to the uber. as you got in, you saw him standing in the doorway. watching you leave.

the driver pulled out of the driveway, trying to make small talk that you didn’t want to hear right now.

and finally.. finally. you could let yourself cry.

your hands were shaking as you pulled out your phone from your bag, and went to your messages with your best friend. funny how she always saw through it all before you did

you started to type a message but none of it was even cohesive. so instead, you called her.

she was quick to pick up, "hello?"

you tried to hide that you were crying, but your voice cracked as you spoke, "lani.."

"what happened? are you okay?" you heard her shuffling on the other end of the call, already worried.

"hollis. he," saying his name made all the emotions come back like a wave, "we argued. brianna texted me, said they talked at the club last night."

"she did what?"

"and when i brought it up, he turned it on me and started talking about me dancing with his friends-" you took a second to catch your breath, "he said i was throwing myself at them. roman and ryan were there. i'm so hurt and embarrassed right now.."

"wait. where are you?"

"i'm in an uber. going home." you saw the uber driver watching you from the mirror. another person seeing you at one of your worst moments.

"okay. i'm coming over. i'll be there in 20 minutes." you heard more moving around, keys jingling.

"you don't have to. i promise, i'll be okay"

"y/n. i would be a horrible friend to leave you alone after all this. i'll be there."

you heard her leaving the house, door slamming behind her. she was moving like she was on a mission.

all you could do was nod, even though she couldn't see you. "okay."

"i'll see you soon. i love you, hang in there."

"i love you too. and i will."

the call ended and you stared out the window, watching the streetlight blur past through the tears running down your face. your phone buzzed in your hand. you knew who it was before you even looked. but you weren't ready to talk to him.

plot: you and hollis have been in a toxic relationship for a year, you two cut things off again a month ago and he finally reached out to you

a/n: theres writing in this part because i didnt know how to play it out through text 🫩 lmk if its ass and ill retire ✌🏽

"this is actually ridiculous. you should've been on the guest list or something. this is just another form of torture by him." lani complained, holding her arms close to her chest.

the two of you were obviously dressed for the bar, not for the freezing cold air and harsh breeze that cut through your short dresses. "i know, i just hope ryan gets out here soon."

almost on cue, ryan walked up. "hey y/n, hey lani." you could tell he was violently nervous by the way his hands fidgeted at his sides, going in and out of the pockets of his jeans

"hey ryan. just so you know, im not mad at you. i saw you trying to defend me and i get he's your friend. i know you don't have to tell me everything. im not mad." his shoulders visibly relaxed at the words, but lani was still giving him a death glance.

"can we go inside now?" she spoke up harshly.

"oh yeah, of course. come on."

ryan walked you inside, rambling about the issues with the venue, the crowd giving security a hard time, how on edge the whole crew was. you weren't really listening all you could think about was seeing hollis.

soon enough, you all got to the room backstage. everyone seemed to be relaxing. jonah was scrolling on his phone, crew members were adjusting equipment. everyone except hollis, who was getting his outfit checked out by his manager.

roman was the first to notice them walk in, nudging nate with his elbow. both of them looked over, nate shaking his head slightly before turning away. jonah glanced up from his phone and gave a small nod. "hey y/n."

"hey." you responded quietly, suddenly feeling very aware of how exposed you felt in this room full of people who clearly had.. strong opinions about you. and most of them were not good.

lani wasn't subtle about her staring though. her eyes were locked onto roman and nate, waiting for them to say something.

roman looked up about to say something but before he could, ryan cleared his throat awkwardly. "uh, you guys can sit over here if you want. hollis should be done in a minute."

hollis hadn't looked up yet, still adjusting his jacket while his manager fussed over the fit. you could tell he knew you were there though. his jaw was tense, and he kept glancing toward the mirror at an angle where he could probably see your reflection.

"looks good, hollis. you're all set." his manager said, patting his shoulder before walking off.

that's when he finally turned around. his eyes found yours immediately, and for a second, neither of them said anything. the room felt smaller.

"yo." he said, his voice low and casual, like he hadn't told you he needed space just hours ago. he walked over slowly, hands in his pockets like you were running on his time.

"hey." you replied, trying to sound normal but your voice came out quieter than you wanted.

lani was still standing next to you like your personal security, eyes flicking between hollis and his friends.

"im glad you came," hollis said, stopping a few feet away. his tone was hard to read. almost like he was testing how you would react.

"yeah, well. nate said you wanted me here," you said, motioning towards nate and roman sitting on the couch, still looking at you like you came just to offend them

"i did." he paused, looking at lani briefly before his eyes went back to you. "can we talk real quick? before i go on?"

you looked at lani who was telling you absolutely not with her eyes but when you looked back at hollis, how desperate he looked, you just nodded in response.

“ill be back. promise” you said to lani before walking off with hollis. he took you to a smaller but secluded part of the room. it was just you two

he ran his hand through his short blonde hair and leaned against the wall. his lips parted as he tried to find the correct words and all you could do was stand there and wait for him to speak up.

"look, y/n... im really sorry about what i said to you earlier. i was jus half awake and caught off guard. i shouldnt have been like that." he leaned closer to you as he spoke, his voice strained from practicing his set.

a part of you wanted to forgive him, like you always did. but then the argument replayed in your head, how it felt when you realized he lied to you and let his friends freely say anything about you.

you crossed your arms, trying to hold onto your anger even though it was already slipping. "you told me i needed to chill, hollis. you made me feel like i was the problem, like i did something wrong."

"i know. i know i did and that was fucked up." he reached out like he wanted to touch you but stopped himself. "i was completely in the wrong. everything you saw, everything you found... you had every right to be upset. i shouldve jus told you the truth."

"i was really mad." you admitted, your voice quieter now.

"i know you were. i could tell." he pushed off the wall and closed the space between you. "and im sorry. like actually sorry."

then came the silence. you wanted to stay mad, you wanted to walk away, but the way he was looking at you made it so hard.

"i got you something," he said suddenly, reaching into his pocket. "been meaning to give it to you."

"hollis-" you started but he silenced you with a look.

"jus look at it." he pulled out a small box and opened it. inside was a delicate necklace, the pendant shaped like a star.

your breath caught. "hollis..."

"can i put it on you?" his voice was softer now, almost vulnerable in a way you forgot he could be.

you hesitated for a second before turning around, moving your hair out of the way. his fingers brushed against the back of your neck as he clasped it, sending a shiver down your spine. when you turned back around, his hands stayed on your shoulders.

"thank you." you said, touching the pendant gently.

"hollis! where the hell are you? we're on in five!" his manager's voice boomed from somewhere nearby.

hollis seemed like he was going to say something else, his hands moved from your shoulders to your waist then he leaned in and kissed you, quick but enough to make you almost forget everything.

"i wanna take you out after this." he said against your lips.

you nodded, still a little dazed and lost in your own thoughts. "okay."

"good girl." he smiled, slapping a hand against your ass. "now go back before lani actually kills me.. or roman."

you laughed softly. "you should go before you get in trouble."

"yeah yeah." he kissed your forehead once more before stepping back. "see you after the show, princess."

lani was sitting on the couch between jonah and ryan, making small talk, but she still seemed like she would rather be anywhere else right now.

as soon as she saw you walk back in, she immediately stood up and made her way over.

"you good?" lani asked quietly, trying to read your every thought by looking at your reaction

"yeah, im fine. he apologized and.." you held up the necklace, "he gave me this."

lani's eyes dropped to the star pendant, and for a moment she didn't say anything. then she just nodded slowly. "its cute.. as long as you're okay."

before you could respond, nate's voice cut through from across the room. "all good now?" his tone was obviously mocking, like this was entertaining to him.

lani's head snapped toward him. "why don't you worry about yourself?"

"just asking." nate said with a shrug, but there was a smirk on his face.

"yeah, well, don't." lani shot back.

roman laughed under his breath, which only made lani angrier.

ryan cleared his throat awkwardly, trying to change the focus. "uh, nice necklace, y/n. hollis has good taste."

jonah nodded in agreement. "yeah, it's nice."

you smiled at them, thankful you wouldn't have to address the elephant in the room, "thanks guys, it is pretty."

the tension was still thick, but before it could escalate, someone from the crew poked their head in. "alright, we need to head out. show's starting in two."

everyone started moving toward the door. lani stayed close to you as you all walked through the narrow backstage hallways and out to the side of the barricade. the crowd was already screaming, the bass from the opening act vibrating hard enough to feel it through your chest.

the lights dimmed, and the intro music kicked in. then hollis came running out, and the entire venue erupted.

he was.. encapsulating. completely in his element. you couldn't take your eyes off him even if you wanted to.

but even as you watched him perform, something felt... off. you were happy. why wouldn't you be happy to see him like this? but you couldn't shake the screenshots burned into your mind. the group chat. brianna. the constant lies.

hollis moved across the stage, everyone was zoned in on him and only him. he came over to your side of the stage again, kneeling down, which of course caused everyone to start screaming his name, reaching out for him like they would get closer.

but this was your favorite song. your favorite line.

"they say its wrong, but i say fuck em baby its you and me"

you smiled, singing along softly, letting yourself get lost in it for just a moment.

but the necklace only felt heavier against your chest, a reminder of everything that had happened today. the fight. the apology. the gift.

it was all too much to process right now, so you just let yourself enjoy this moment.

when the final song ended, hollis threw his arms up and the crowd went absolutely insane. he was drenched in sweat, breathing hard, but smiling wider than you'd seen in a while. he waved to the crowd one last time before disappearing backstage.

"that was actually really good" lani admitted reluctantly as everyone started filtering back toward the backstage area.

"told you" ryan said with a grin.

jonah nodded in agreement. "he killed it tonight. he always does"

roman and nate were already ahead, talking so loudly about the performance you would've thought they were the ones on stage. you and lani hung back slightly, the noise of the crowd still ringing in your ears.

when you got backstage, hollis was chugging a water bottle, his manager talking to him about something. he looked up when he saw you, his face lighting up immediately.

"come here baby." he said, waving you over.

you walked toward him, suddenly feeling shy. he wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you close.

"what'd you think?" he asked, looking down at you.

"you were amazing, of course." you said with the biggest smile you didnt even know you had.

"yeah?" his smile got bigger. "good. i was hoping youd think so" he kissed the top of your head. "gimme like ten minutes to clean up and then we can get outta here"

"okay, ill be here" you said softly.

he kissed you once more before his manager pulled him away to talk to some venue people.

lani appeared at your side almost immediately. "you're going with him?"

"yeah" you said, touching the necklace again without thinking.

lani sighed. "just... be careful, okay? i love you. and text me after you get home"

"i will be. i love you too"

about fifteen minutes later, hollis came back out. he'd changed into a black hoodie and jeans, his hair still slightly damp from washing his face. his eyes immediately found you, and he smiled as he walked over.

"damn, princess" he said, looking you up and down. "you got that tiny ass dress on. tryna give me a show now or what?"

you felt your cheeks heat up. "shut up."

"nah im serious." he slipped off his jacket and draped it over your shoulders. "here. its cold as fuck outside."

you pulled the jacket tighter around yourself, the smell of his cologne immediately surrounding you. he wrapped an arm around your shoulder and pulled you into his side as his friends gathered around.

"bro, that crowd was insane tonight," nate said, clearly still buzzed from the energy of the show

hollis nodded, smiling. "yeah it felt good. energy was up."

"you going out with us after?" jonah asked.

"nah, im takin her out." hollis said, squeezing your shoulder

"ohhh i see how it is," ryan teased.

then roman started going off about some girl in the front row who kept trying to get his attention, then launched into a full story about the last show and some drama with security. his voice just kept going and going about things you truly couldn't care less about.

you tried to stay present, nodding along, but he wasn't shutting up and you were truly exhausted.

hollis must've noticed when he glanced down at you, because he cut roman off "aight bro we're gonna head out. ill text yall later."

"already?" nate said.

"yeah man. its been a long day." hollis was already guiding you toward the door, his arm still around you.

"later hollis. bye y/n," jonah called out.

"bye you guys." you said, giving a small wave.

they all waved back, including nate and roman, even though they were obviously still enjoying the show.

lani caught your eye as you were leaving and mouthed "text me." you nodded.

hollis led you out through the back exit, the cold night air hitting you immediately. his jacket helped, but you could still feel the freezing air.

"you good?" he asked, looking down at you.

"yeah. just tired."

"yeah i bet. come on, my cars this way."
