>Siren's POV<
I cried while Andy held me, "Shhh it's going to be okay...I'm not angry at you I promise that." I fell asleep.

*TIME SKIP NEXT DAY*
I woke up to dad holding me. "Dad, who's gonna talk to me about this" as I gesture to my arm. "You'll see, blue jay." He responded. When did he start calling me blue jay? "Dad, am I going to talk to Vic?!?!" I said. "Mhm. He dealt with it for a while," he smiled, " He's going to be here in 5 min so hurry up and get ready." 5 minutes?!? Holy fuck! I fixed my hair so that it curled just right at the ends. Then I did the usual 3 pounds of eyeliner. "SIREN GET DOWN HERE!" Andy yelled in a high pitched voice. I go downstairs and shakily turn the hallway. It wasn't just 1 person, it was 5!! I got really nervous because I've never talked to anybody but Savanna about this. "Hey, you must be Siren!" Vic said. He came over and hugged me. He whispered so only I could hear, "I'll be the one talking to you. Don't worry, they don't know." I show him to my room so we can talk. "So I kinda got rid of my blades yesterday." I say. "Well that's good! Uh um if you don't mind, can I see them?" He asks gently. I roll up my sleeve and remove my bracelets to reveal the scars and cuts. "Wow. I'm so sorry Siren. Why, if I may ask?" He says. I feel like I can trust Vic. More than Savanna to be honest. "They're from my boyfriend, being in an orphanage, bullying, and most I didn't make." I say quietly. He gently kissed the scars. "Promise me you'll stop? Trust me, you can get through this." He says while rolling up his sleeve to show me all his scars. "I'm so sorry Vic...." I say. "Can I show you something? You cannot tell anybody." I say. "I promise I will not tell anybody" I lifted up my shirt to show my hip. There was the initials Kylie made. I started to cry. "Oh my. Who's Kylie? Oh no don't cry!" He says and hugs me. When he hugged me, I felt a spark, like something I've never felt before. "You all better?" He whispered and rubbed circles on my back. "Yeah.....Vic?" "What is it Siren?" "Can you stay over tonight? I don't want to be alone. I mean like I have Andy and Savanna but can you?" I say quickly and embarrassed. He chuckles and says, "Yeah I'll stay, as long as it's cool with Andy." I mentally fangirl but keep the outside calm. I texted Andy about Vic staying over and he said that it was fine. "Andy says its ok if you stay over." I smile and say. "Ok I just have to run home and get some clothes! Sleeeepoverr!" He says like a little kid.
