why am I here? (OoO S3)

WARNING - this story includes mention of self harm. If you are not comfortable with this or if it triggers you in any way, then I suggest you don't read it.

Just a bit of background info. Cal had a nightmare about everyone hating him. He starts to panic about the fact he thinks it may be true and that led us to where we are now.

3rd person pov:

It was about 3 in the afternoon and everything was good. At least that's what most people thought.

Sitting in his room crying was Cal. With bad thoughts running through his mind.

*I'm just a burden to everyone here* *I left Riccaro and Lychee for five years, I'm a horrible parent* *everyone would be better off if I wasn't here*

Cal sat there not knowing what to do with himself. And the worst part was, for a while nobody even noticed.

Time skip cause I'm lazy. A couple hours later.

Cal had been sitting in his room crying for hours. Then all of a sudden Riccaro, Lychee, and Xylo came knocking.

"Hey cal!? Riccaro and Lychee wanted to do some family stuff or something. So we were wondering if you wanted to come." Xylo said through the door.

Cal didn't answer.

R - Cal? Are you there?

Still no answer. This worried the three because they knew Cal hadn't left his room all day. He was in there.

L - maybe he's sleeping?

R - no. Cal never sleeps past 9 AM.

Then all of a sudden they heard muffled sobs coming from the room.

X - Cal!?!? Cal if you don't open the door right now then I'm going to break it down!!

Xylo and Cal may not be a couple, but they are still close friends and care for each other a lot.

Riccaro, Lychee, and Xylo looked at each other with worried expressions on there faces. Just as Xylo was about to break down the door they heard the click of the lock. Cal hadn't opened the door but he had unlocked it.

Almost instantly all three were in the room. And they were heartbroken at what they saw. Cal was sitting on his bed, with a knife next to him. He was going to cut himself, but Xylo, Riccaro and Lychee knocked on the door before he could.

In an instant Riccaro and Lychee were at his side hugging him as tightly as they could.

R and L - NEVER EVER DO THAT AGAIN!!!!!

C - why? You would all be better if I wasn't here.

X - alright Cal you listen here. You are one of the best and most important people here are camp. If you weren't here then I'm not sure if any of us would have survived this long. You are more than important. And you are also one of my best friends. So don't you ever, ever say that we would be better off without you. Understand?

Cal had tears in his eyes but he was smiling. He looked up at Xylo and nodded.

The rest of the day Xylo, Riccaro, and Lychee kept Cal company. And all four promised they would be there if the others needed them.
