TIME SKIP!!!!!!! It isn't that necessary I've just been dry so you know... time skip

Three months later

Rob
Ever since the incident with Vikk everyone has acted differently.

Preston was less happy,
Jerome was less caring,
Mitch was less compatible,
but most of all,
Lachlan was more distant.

None of the love was there as much as it used to be and it worried me because my love for Lachlan was unstoppable. Lachlan always left the house and it got me worried. I didn't know where he was going, he would never tell me. God, I hope he isn't seeing someone else. Even if he was I'd still love him till the end of the earth.

Vikk barely understood anything, he hasn't remembered anything and it's weird. I'm starting to get worried about our little group, our little... pack. We were just sitting in the cafeteria aimlessly pushing our food around our plate sin silence, in an awkward silence.

Lachlan
I couldn't get the thought out of my head.

I had a surprise for Rob and I couldn't wait till after school to work on it. I didn't want Rob to notice anything so I've been trying to act normal, but I'm pretty sure he thinks something is up. I hope he doesn't.

It was a present for after we graduate which was only a month away. I was nervous about what he'd think about it. Would he like it? Would he love it? Would he accept it?

The questions kept flowing through my head but I'm deciding to take a risk... hopefully one that will end in my favor. I haven't thought about my blade in forever. I hope I never will ever again. I've been much happier except for the dull feeling between all of us. Vikk was the happiest between all of us mostly because he doesn't know about our past. He knows nothing. Nothing about the previous bullying. Nothing about our lasts in depression. Nothing.

I hope it stayed that way. He was like a little brother to me and I'd hate to see him exposed to the real world of depression. He probably just thinks were normally quiet even though we really aren't.

I notice Rob. He's much slower now and more droopy, hopefully it won't be permanent. Jerome and Mitch barely show any affection towards each other but their eyes say enough to say 'I love you.'

Preston seems worse than any of us. Under his eyes are deep purple bags probably from lack of sleep. He's much thinner and he's not as peppy. I'm worried about him. I hope he isn't cutting or has an eating disorder. I really hope he doesn't.

"Hey. Why don't we stay over at a friend's house this weekend? I know we all could use a bump up. It's pretty obvious." Jerome suggests. We all just sit in the cafeteria staring at Jerome as if his color returned from when he was once just back and white.

"I'd go." Mitch says, Vikk following, then Preston. Rob looks at me a curve on his lips and I nod. I'd just have to cancel a few things.
"Great. We can do it at my house." We all nod in agreement and I slump my back in my chair. I was not looking towards this.
