Till We Meet Again (MagCon and O2L Story)

Sleeves

~ Rylie's POV ~

"Mack listen I am sooo sorry! I didn't-" Nash tries to apologize, going to give Mack a hug.

"It's fine! Just.. Let's go eat!" She says shrugging away.

Mack pulled Shawn's hand and they started walking a little faster. I stopped Nash in his spot and I put my arms around his neck while his hands went down to my waist.

"Nash I'm sorry, Mack has this thing.. And she's kinda new to the whole dating thing. She hasn't done it since Jake and she just has a hard time dealing with Shawn and Cameron."

"It's fine baby.. I just feel bad because that's my family and they're just ugh.. I'm sorry"

I laughed a little and stepped on my toes and kissed him. We started to walk towards the booths, but Mack pulled us to the tall tables, these were her fav. We were just talking, waiting and all of a sudden I see Mack's sleeve go up and something I really didn't want to see....not again.

MACKS POV*
I shift in my sweatshirt than look at my wrists. Than shift again and look around.

"Mackensi...why?" Rylie asks. Busted...

"Why what?" Fake it...

"You know what!"

"Wait girls! What's going on?" Nash asks. Shawn and his conversation stops and they look at Ry and I.

"Nothing!" I yell.

"Well, obviously it's something serious if Ry's yelling at you! Mackensi....tell me, us, Please?" Shawn asks. No, I will absolutely not, because they would look at me differently, they'd leave. Ry doesn't understand that it's not really recent, it was from when I found out about Cam, but I HAVN'T done it since than, not since I've been with Shawn. They don't need to know. It's over.

"It's nothing SHAWN, I promise." I whisper, he just looks to Ry. No. Nash rubs Ry's back, trying to calm her down.

"Look at her wrists...." Ry chokes out. Shawn, Nash and Ry look at me, silently asking for my wrist. I pull up my sleeve and put it on the table. Way to go Mackensi...

"Why...why baby? Why?! I thought I was okay, that I made you happy?! Was I not enough?!" Shawn asked with hurt in his eyes.

"Mack, I thought you were doing okay? We told each other everything, we became best friends...." Nash sighs, his breathing getting heavy.

"I though you were okay! I thought you were doing fine! I thought you were happy! But I was so wrong....I'm such a horrible friend!" Rylie says starting to let the tears stream down her face, that's when they all let the tears roll down their faces. Oh gosh no!

"Guys! Nonononono! You guys are prefect for me! I am happy now. I...you know,...after the breakup of me and....Cam, but I HAVN'T cut since, because I am happy and content and everything's perfect now." I said trying to reassure them.

"Why didn't you come and tell me, or Nash, or even and most of all Rylie!?"

"Because Shawn....we were just getting close, and I didn't want to ruin that...and Nash and Ry, you guys thought I was getting happier, which made you guys happier, and I didn't want to ruin that....I...I don't know..." I left off being ashamed. How could I be so selfish and stupid?!

"Mackensi, I'm not going to be fully happy unless I know that you're not doing this, I won't be happy if I can't be with my best friend, okay? Nash and I are your best friends because we are here for you, so instead of doing this, talk to us. Let us in. Let us care..." Rylie lead off, smiling, yet still crying. I notice SHAWN hasn't said a thing...

"Mackensi, I don't know what I would do without you, if I lost you, if you left...I can't even stand tot think about that. I love you with all my heart, and I want you to stay with me, I love you and I will do anything foe you, jus please don't do this again....." Shawn begs...he cares...I just nod my head. Everyone wipes their tears. I look around and notice that there was a girl standing there. She heard the whole conversation....oh god. I stare, and everyone finally noticed who I'm staring at.

"H-hi. I just wanted an autograph f-from M-Ma-ck." She whispers.

"Still? Even after you just heard that I used to...cut?" I mumble, ashamed of MYSLEF. To my surprise, her smile widens, and she shakes her head up and down violently.

"May I ask why? You just found out how weak I was, how I am a hypocrite telling my fans not to hurt themselves, than I go and do it...you must hate me! I would..." I ramble.

"Those cuts on your wrists, they are not a sign of weakness, those are a sign of how you were strong enough to handle the pain, and move on. They are a sign of strength, showing that if you can get over that, you can get over anything. You said it yourself, you HAVN'T done it for a few weeks, and that's showing that your trying, that your strong. There is nothing to be ashamed of, those are battle wounds, those are marks of victory, because you've gotten over dosing that to yourself. It's an untold story, and to you, it might show weakness, but to everyone else, it's showing how strong you really are..." The girl tells me. I just sit there on my stool, mouth wide open, amazed at what just came out of that girls mouth.

"True"

"Agreed"

"She's right babe"

Everyone agrees with her. I just nod my head. I jump off my stool, and sign a napkin for her.

"Would you like a picture?" I ask shyly. She nods her head excitedly again. We take a picture, but after were done, I pull her in for a hug.

"THANKYOU so so so much! You've made my day." I tell her. I look down at her and notice the scars in her wrists too.

"Your the reason I STOPED. You inspired me. Not only did you get me to stop cutting, but you got me to stop my suicide too. Your not weak Mack, your the strongest and most inspiring person I ever know. Those words I told you, you once told me, off of YouTube." She whispers in my ear, than walks away. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I have tears in my eyes, but I wipe them away. I look at everyone else, and they all know what I'm taking. GROUP HUG.

~~~~~~~hai guys! this was a really emotional chapter! sorry. But I wanted to write about this topic because it is very important. Never should anyone feel so down that they need to self-harm, and never should anyone push them that far to do that. If you guys ever want to talk than message Imawriterbaenboo02 , @Ibelieveinubeautiful, and belieber_707 or tell a family friend or relative. Ask a doctor or therapy for help if it gets to that level. JUST KNOW WE LOVE YOU AND KEEP STRONG AND STAY BEAUTIFUL!
