Recap: I could care less about who Ross is with, but I am not going to ruin her chances with that boy," I hiss, then storm out as well.

ROSS'S P.O.V.

"Laura, do you ever shut up," I ask her.

"What's wrong, babe?" she asks me, playing with my hair.

"Just don't feel good," I say. 'About you' i think to myself.

"So, were all those rumors about you and Riker true? Like, how you dated?" she asked.

"Yes, Laura. They are true. I don't wanna talk about it. Besides, he means nothing to me, not like you do," I tell her. I've grown to hate Riker. We only talk while discussing band stuff.

"Okay. I love you," she says.

"I love you, too," I say back.

RIKER'S P.OV.

"Fuck Management! I fucking hate all of it! I'm so fucking sorry Madison! I never should've fell for my brother. I never should've said yes to fake dating!" I scream, crying.
"Hey. C'mon. Let's go to your room and talk. I'll be okay and so will you," Mady says, calmly.

"No! It's not okay! Losing who you love is not okay! Making someone else lose who they love is even worse!" I yell at her.

"It's not your fault! It's mine!" She yells back.

"How is it your fault?"

"I volunteered to do it. I didn't have to, I wanted to," she whispered.

"You told me you liked me when we first started this, so I kinda figured you volunteered," I said in a 'duh' tone.

"But it's my fault. If I never volunteered, nobody else would've. We'd both be with who we loved," she says.

She's right, but I'm not gonna blame her. "Riker, I love you, I do. But I just... I don't think us being friends will help anyone." Then, she leaves the house and out of my life.

"Fuck!" I scream from the top of my lungs. I guess nobody's home. Ross is at Laura's, Rydel and Ellington are on a date, and I don't know where Rocky, Ryland, Mom, and Dad are.

I just run to the bathroom and take out a razor. I've never used it and never thought I needed to until now. I then thought of a poem while I did it.

1, 2, lock the door
3, 4, better cover your scars
5, 6, bandages
7, 8, before it's too late
9, 10, I've done it again.

I sliced through my wrists 3 or 4 times each before I hear the front door shut.

"Anyone home?" I hear Ross yell.

"Yeah, in the bathroom," I yell back.

"Okay." "Shit," I mutter. I can't find any bandages. "Ross, where are the bandages?" I yell.

"Down in the kitchen. Why are you talking to me?" he yells back.

"Because I need some. I was showering and I cut myself on accident."

"Come get them yourself," he yelled, annoyed.

"Ross Shor Lynch, I will not and you will get them for me, or I'll do something bad. I swear to God I will," I yelled back.

"Like what?"

"I'll kill myself!" I scream. Suddenly, it went silent and he was at the door. "Open the door," he said.

"No. Slide them under," I said back.

"Fine," he groans. He slides under the bandages and walks away. I quickly wrap my arms in them and put on my jumper.
