Hope's P.O.V
When we got back on their tour bus I started to drink away my pain, alone, I found an old blade and pulled it out of the special case it was in. I rolled up my sleeve and my old scars were there, from my high school. I slashed the blade across my arm then drank half the bottle of rum. I didn't know if anyone heard me crying, but Ashton must've, because he was banging on the door. I let him in because I completely trust him, he is definetly the most responsible. He sat next to me on the floor and said "seriously, share." As he took swigs of the rum he looked at me still slashing my arm and shared to cry. He gets emotional when he's drunk. "Leave me alone Ash, I want to be alone." At that point, everyone was gathered around us in the bathroom that reality wasn't big enough for that. "Hope, please, stop. I need to see your beautiful face smiling, not in a casket. Please." Calum said, tears in his eyes.I was sobbing, the makeup was running down my face and I could hardly see. My heart was racing, not because he called me beautiful. But after he said that, he asked where my family was. "I don't have a family Calum, Riley and I live together for a reason. Neither of us have family." All the boys had their mouths open so wide, I thought they were going to catch flies. "Oh, sorry" "come with us. We will take care of you. Well talk to management, they'll be fine with it. I'll have to tell them.your story thought, about your family. Is that alright?" Michael asked and kinda said but, I don't even know. "Sure. Go for it. I have nothing to lose." Please, yeah right I was okay with it, u was dying on the inside and he wants to tell people about my dead parents? Great move, Mikey. He stepped out and called up the management team and came back, a sheepish smile on his face. "Roses are red, violets are blue. Your gonna live with us and you are, too." He said pointing to Riley and I. I guess Skie wasn't talking to.us anymore because, we hadn't heard from her in like, 4 hours, and she almost NEVER STOPS TALKsweet, but geezBut, back to the point. Luke stood there in complete silence. Holding a penguin stuffed animal, tear stained cheeks.I mean, these guys have known us for less than 24 house and offering to adopt us. How sweet, but geez, that escaladed quickly. Just as Calum was about to patch up my scars, a gunshot was heard out side the bus, then a huge scream. Riley.She left the bus to go pick up food. I got up to go check on her, if it was her, yup, o was right. "Riley!! No! Riley please. Don't leave me. Guys call an ambulance." "Already on it" Luke said. As the ambualnce arrived somebody stabbed my side, deep, and the ambulance had to take me too.
Yay! Update! Sorry j haven't been posting chapters in a while, it took me forever to think of the last one! I promise I'll try to post more often!
