Y/N
It was one of those days when you felt down and dark, your thoughts getting the better of you making you doubt a lot of things in your life. It was days like these you should have stayed off social media because hateful comments got to you more, but you couldn't help but go on Instagram because you'd posted some photos hanging out with Hollywood Undead at the studio the other day. You'd known the band since their Myspace days, and it helped that you and George were best friends because your life would be a lot more boring without these maniacs in your life.
You'd also had bouts of depression and George never judged you. However when you went on Instagram you were hit by a wall of comments on your post, all the band had liked and commented nice things, but your eyes only sought out the negative comments and there were a lot more of those. Most days you'd brush them under the rug but today wasn't going to be one of those days.
GEORGE
'Asia, I'm going to head over to y/n's because they haven't replied to any of my messages today,' I call out, pocketing my phone and grabbing my jacket.
Asia pops her head around the door as I pick up my keys, 'tell them we need to hang out soon. Ava really wants to see them again.'
I nod, and just then Ava comes running up to me holding a picture and smiling like an idiot, 'Dad I made this for y/n, from when we went to the park.'
I take the drawing and ruffled her hair, 'I'm sure y/n will love it, Ava.'
TIMESKIP
I was shocked at how quickly I'd managed to drive over to y/n's, because traffic was awful in the city, and I wasn't sure if I should take it as a good or bad sign. y/n was a good friend, one of the few people in my life I could be open with knowing they wouldn't judge me. Everyone has their demons, y/n just chose to keep them to themselves instead of sharing. y/n had posted some photos and for some reason, there was more negativity than usual. My gut told me I wasn't going to like what I found in their apartment.
Using my spare key I enter the apartment and immediately find y/n on the sofa wrapped in a blanket endlessly scrolling through their phone. I approach slowly and see their face tear-stained and it broke my heart. They were looking at photos of the two of us.
'Hey, hey. Oh my god, why are you crying? did I...did I do something wrong?' I ask, keeping my voice low and soft.
y/n sniffles and shakes their head, 'No, it's just--it's just you're always so gentle and caring with me George--it makes me feel like I don't deserve you. No one has ever treated me like you do.'
I sit down next to them and take their phone away, replacing it with Ava's drawing, 'You know we all love you y/n. Ava drew this from when you went to the park together, and Asia wants to hang out with you. We'll always have each other's backs.'
y/n smiles weakly and runs their fingers across the drawing, 'I think I need to go back to the doctor George, get back on my meds. I hate feeling sad when I should be happy.'
I wrap my arms around them and pull them close, 'and I'll be by your side one hundred per cent of the way. You're not alone. Do you want to order something and watch films?'
y/n nods, 'only if it's not a bother to Asia and Ava. Can we also get ice cream?'
I chuckle, 'We can get ice cream y/n, and Asia was taking Ava to her mum's anyway.'
y/n's smile seemed more genuine this time around and they cuddle into me. My phone goes off and I'm able to see Jordan had messaged me asking if I wanted to go out with the guys tonight. Without disturbing y/n I reply saying y/n was down so I'd be hanging out with them tonight, and he responds saying he'll explain to the guys and that we should all do something nice for y/n as a group. I agree and put my phone away, not wanting any more distractions for the rest of the night because it would be healthier for both of us.
