Adopted by The Pack

Chapter 25

Courtney's POV (pic relates to chap)

I sneak home and head to the back door so no one will see me. Usually the guys are recording so they never see me right when I come home.

I slide the door open slowly so I don't get noticed. I run to the stairs and tip toe up them.
But right as I'm running into my room a voice asks, "Where do you think your going?"

I turn my head around. It was Preston and he was with Rob.

They gasp when they see my face, which is covered in bruises. I also had a busted lip.

"What the hell happened!?" Rob screamed causing all the other pack members to run out of their rooms. Once again gasps are heard and Lachlan comes up to me.

"Are they bullying you again?" He asks.

Lie. Lie. Lie. My mind chants.

"It was just today I promise I'm fine guys. All they did was trip me once and I fell on the bleachers." I say and fake a smile.

They all seem relieved and hug me. I walk into my room and to my bathroom to clean myself up.

As I turn my head on the way out I see my razor.

No.

Yes.

No.

Yes.

It's bad.

My mind argues. I slowly pick up the razor.
I'm about to slide it across my arm when I stop myself. No. The Pack wouldn't want me to.

I put the razor down.Then I walk out of the bathroom and start my homework.

I put my earbuds in and turn my headphones on. Music is something that can just take you away and bring you to a whole new world in each song. That's what I love about it.

I hear the door open and close. Millie is probably finally home. I hear her come up the stairs and she opens the door to my room.

"Why were you in the woods after school? I saw you." she asks.

I snort. "So now you care. Bout time." I say.

"Fine then, your always so bitchy." She grumbles and stomps away.

Ugh if only she knew how I felt.
I'm just tired.
I'm tired of trying
Sick of crying
I know im smiling
But inside I'm dying.

(A/N: So I'm thinking about just writing a bunch of chapters over spring break and posting them after or posting a lot of them now you guys decide.)
