Stay Away From My Friends (sequel to Bulletproof Love)

Finns POV

All week I've seen Megan walk around school by herself looking completely miserable. Her eyes don't have that little sparkle in them like they used to but to be honest this is all her fault, she abandoned us. I didn't know what happened between her and Jason until Matt told me about all the rumours that are going round school. Of course I felt sorry for her for what he did to her because what he did was horrible but karmas a bitch I guess. It pains me to see her looking so miserable and lonely all the time now because I fucking love that girl and always have but I hate her for what she did at the same time, it's all so complicated. Me and the guys don't know what to do but we've all agreed that we won't do anything until she's approaches us, we're not going to her, she started this so she has to fix it.

Megan's POV

This week. This week has been the worse. As I walk around school like a loner, I see the guys looking at me in pity, it's obvious they know what happened, the whole school knows, I bet they laughed once they found out. I've picked up a really bad habit, yes I know I shouldn't but it helps me, it's an addiction that I can't seem to shake off. I'm not proud that I turned to self harm but that's how low my life's become.
As I sleepily walked downstairs around noon on a Saturday morning I heard the television blaring from the lounge. I walked in and saw everyone in the lounge, my mum, dad, Jacob and my uncles.

"She's a woken from her slumber!" Mike said as he spotted me standing in the doorway. I mumbled in response because I was way too tired to function. I walked over and sat next to him like I always do.

"How are you sweetie?" My mum asked.

"Tired" I yawned. Mike wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his side, I happily cuddled up to him like I always do.

"You okay, you look sad?" Mike said. I looked up to him and put on my best fake smile, I've become a pro at that lately.

"Yeah I'm fine, just tired I guess" I shrugged. That was half true, I was really tired from the lack of sleep I've been getting lately. He nodded and left it at that. My dad kept looking at me like he wanted to tell me something but every time he wanted to it was like he couldn't or he stopped himself.

"You okay dad?" I asked. He looked up to me and nodded unconvincingly, "you don't look it!" I stated. He looked around at the guys and they all nodded at him, what are they hiding from me?

"Sit next to me quickly?" He asked nicely. I obliged and sat in the free seat next to him.

"So, what's up?" I asked unaware of everything.

"Me and the guys are going on tour again next week" He said. My face dropped completely, they're leaving me again..

"You're leaving again?" I asked sadly. I knew the answer but I need to be told. He nodded his head.

"Yeah, for 2 months" He said. I looked around and I saw everyone giving me sympathetic looks. When dad and my uncles go, I admit I take it the worst, my dad my uncles are my life and I hate seeing them go for months on end, especially uncles Mike. I sighed and held back the tears, this is such bad timing, I thought. I stood up and just left the room so no one saw me cry. This is all too much, first I get humiliated in front of everyone, then my lose my only friends and now my dad and uncles are leaving me for 2 months, I can't take it. Don't get me wrong, I love my mum and brother but I miss them so much.
I walked into my room, slammed the door not caring if everyone heard and laid on my bed. I let the tears fall freely down my face. I did the only thing that I knew would help the pain I was feeling right now. I grabbed my blade from my drawer and relieved the pain. After a few cuts, I watched the red blood surface my skin and run down my arm. I don't know what it was about blood but I felt relaxed by it. Once I was done, I walked to the bathroom and rinsed my arm. I examined my arm after and looked at the several red lines carved into my pale forearm. I sighed when I realised that they're on me for life, scars.
I walked back into my room, grabbed my All Time Low crew neck to cover my arm and laid on my bed again feeling the silent tears still falling down my face. I then heard a faint knock on my door, I didn't answer but they entered anyway. I felt someone pull me up and pull me into their chest. I slowly looked up and saw uncle Mike looking down at me sadly.

"Don't cry sweetheart" He said while wiping my tears with his thumb, "time will fly by when we're gone" He added in a reassuring time of voice.

"I j-just don't want you to l-leave again" I said sadly. He just rubbed my back to try and make me feel better.

"Sweetie, it's our job and I always FaceTime so it's not like we never talk or anything!" He said. I sighed heavily.

"I guess.." I sighed. But really it wasn't okay, I was happy when I was with all my family and when they're gone, I don't know what to do.

"Now, you wanna come down or do you wanna stay up here?" He asked.

"I'm just going to stay here, I don't feel like seeing everyone" I replied. He nodded, kissed my head then stood up but I stopped him before he left.

"Uncle Mike?" I asked. He spun round and looked at me.

"Yeah?" He asked.

"Can you stay with me and we can watch Harry Potter like we used to?" I asked with a slight smile. A smile crept up on his face.

"That's the Meg I know, sure!" He smiled and found the DVD in the DVD holder. He place it in the DVD player and sat in the spot next to me on my bed. He wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pressed play. I felt genuinely happy for once, I know it won't last though when they all leave next week, I'll just enjoy it while it lasts.

I fell asleep halfway through the movie, I guess the lack of sleep is really catching up on me. I was awoken by someone shaking me by the shoulders. I jolted awake and opened my eyes slowly to see Mike looking at me with a smirk.

"I never knew the day when Megan Preciado would fall asleep halfway through Harry Potter!" He said. I just laughed slightly.

"Shut up, I haven't been sleeping great lately, give me a break" I said.

"Is something wrong?" He asked suddenly worried. I immediately froze, I couldn't tell him what's been happening but nothing came to mind to lie to him.

"No, no I just I.. can't sleep, I don't know why" I said unbelievably but I couldn't think of anything else to reply with. He didn't look convinced at all.

"What's wrong Meg?" He asked. I sighed, that's all I do now.

"Nothing's wrong, honestly!" I said with a straight face. I couldn't tell him, he'd tell my parents and I don't want at, they'll just worry too much.

"Fine but this is not the last of this!" He said sternly. Then he left the room.

~~~Next week~~~

Today my dad and Uncles are leaving for their American tour. Goodbyes are the worst thing, they're leaving me.

"Have you got everything?" My mum asked my dad worriedly for the 100th time in the past half hour. I was sat in the lounge watching TV. He dad sighed and walked up to my mum.

"Baby, I have everything so stop worrying" He said and kissed her head. My mum let out a breath and smiled.

"I'm sorry, you know how I am!" She replied. My dad chuckled at her.

"I know but just calm, everything is done!" He said and she nodded. I look at my parents and smiled, it makes me happy to see after all that time they've been together, they're still so in love with each other. I then heard a loud knock on the door which jolted me out of my thoughts.

"I'll get it" I said in a monotone. I knew it would be my uncles to pick my dad up. I walked over to the door and opened it to see uncle Vic.

"Hey Meg!" He smiled with a wave.

"Hey, he'll be ready in a sec" I said. Then Uncle Mike and Tony walked towards us as well. Uncle Tony walked up to me and pulled me into a tight hug, that's when I cracked, I cried into Tonys arms. I really didn't want them to go.

"Shh, it'll be okay sweetie!" He said soothingly. He stroked my head and tried me make me feel better. I pulled away and wiped my eyes.

"I'm s-sorry, I'm being silly!" I said shakily.

"No, it's okay to cry hun" Uncle Vic said with a slight smile. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned round to see my dad looking at my sadly.

"Come here sweetheart!" He said and pulled me into a hug. I silently cried into his arms, I couldn't see my dad go again. You'd think I'd be used to this but I'm not. This week has been worse than ever. Everyone still bullies me and I now eat my lunch alone outside school because I can't face everyone in the canteen. None of the guys have spoken to me, not even made eye contact with me, I guess I've lost them for good and my self harm has gotten worse, I don't like how everything has changed so drastically. But with my dad and uncles leaving, this just tops it off.

"Why do you have to leave?" I sniffled.

"It's our job hun, time will go quickly I promise!" My dad said sadly. I nodded my head and just accepted that they were leaving, I can't stop them even if I wasn't to.

"I know, I know" I said, "just call or FaceTime me every time you're free?" I asked.

"We will sweetie" My dad smiled.

"Promise?" I asked holding out my pinky.

"I promise" My dad chuckled at my child like gesture and hooked his pinky with mine. I smiled.

"We really need to go Hime!" Vic said. I sighed sadly as did my dad.

"I know, just give me a sec?" My dad asked. The guys nodded, hugged me goodbye and stepped onto the bus, "I'll talk to you everyday and I'll FaceTime you as much as possible!" My dad turned to me and said. I nodded and hugged him tightly.

"I love you dad" I mumbled into his chest.

"I love you too sweetheart!" He said and kissed my head. Then my mum and brother came and said their goodbyes to my dad too, we all hate seeing them go. Once my dad said his last goodbye to my mum he picked up his bag and stood in the doorway.

"I'll see you guys later, okay?" He said.

"Yeah, bye dad!" We all smiled and waved as he walked over to the bus, he waved to us and then stepped onto the bus too. The bus then drove off and they were gone, I won't see them for 2 whole months.

"I miss them already" I sighed.

"I know sweetie but it'll be okay!" My mum said reassuringly. I just nodded and headed back to my room for the rest of the day. I don't think anything could cheer me up right now.
