Welcome Home Babes Ch.23

Y,N pov (6 Months after H.U)

      I stood grinning like an idiot up at the billboard. "You're so stupid." I Said looking at our faces covered in bubble beards and banana peel hats. "Hey, that was the best photo shoot and you said make it funny." Max said lifting his hands. The rest laughed at our banter. It felt good being back around Max. "Can I just say, I can't believe we actually get to go on warp tour!" Scientist yelled causing Alan and Drew to start cheering. "I'm surrounded by crazy people.." I muttered jokingly. Scientist grabbed his heart in fake hurt. "I.. I thought you loved me~" He yelled dropping dramatically to the sidewalk.

        Random people began stopping and staring. "God dammit Roy get the fuck up.." Max chuckled reaching down and pulling him up. "I am the Scientist. not 'Roy' now please.. applaud me." He said dramatically causing everyone to roll their eyes. My phone began ringing, "Just a second guys.." I mumbled walking off and pulling my phone out. "Hello?" I asked looking at the concrete. "Hey, so I don't know how you'd feel about this but I was thinking of maybe having a celebratory party for you guys making it to warp tour. I mean we'll be celebrating our band and Ronnie's to..." His deep voice came through the speaker all Anxious. "Sure. Why not, Just tell me when and where and we'll be there." I said walking back toward the guys. "Really!? Sweet. I'll text you later. We're thinking neutronstar around 7 ish." He said before hanging up.

          "Well by to you to Andy.." I muttered hanging up and slipping my phone back in my pocket. "What's up y,n?" Max asked his hand on my shoulder. "Well boys... We're going to neutronstar tonight." I said smiling as all their faces lit up. "I can't wait. This will be so fun!" Drew said practically vibrating with joy. "I'll see you guys tonight then. Laters." I called over my shoulder as I began walking back to my apartment. "Later!" They yelled back.

(Triggering things up ahead take heed.)

             Walking into my apartment I yelled loudly trying to let out the frustration. My neighbor didn't care because of who I am. Walking down the hallway to my bedroom I walked over to the closet. My suitcase filled with all the things H.U gave me sat at the foot of my bed with a few inches of dust covering it. "You know what... fuck it." I grumbled opening it. It was the only clean clothes I had at the moment since I've been to busy to wash my clothes. "I think I need a partner or a roommate to help me live.." I mumbled pulling out a pair of black jeans and a dead culture shirt along with the limited edition jacket. "memories..." I whispered as a few tears dripped down my cheek.

          "NOT yet y,n.. not yet.." I whispered to myself going to the bathroom. Shutting the door I stripped down looking at the old and new cuts that lined my thighs. Sighing I dug through the medicine cabinet pulling out my razor. Turning on the tub I let it fill up with warm water I watched how the surface rippled with the pressure. Slowly I slipped into the water and soaked in the warmth hissing slightly at the sting of the water on my cuts. Twirling the blade in my hand I thought of all the things I hated about myself. Slowly taking the blade to my skin I began slashing away at my thighs. I watched the water turn from a crystal clear to a shark attack red.

       

         Sighing I let my forehead rest against the shower wall as ice cold water ran down my back. Turning the water off I got out wrapping a towel tightly around my body. "Tonight your gonna go smile. Live life. Be with your 'friends' and be happy." I stated sharply as I pulled my clothes on. "Okay maybe not happy.. but you'll be okay." I said as I slipped on some deodorant. Walking into my bedroom I flopped down on my bed pulling my shoes on. "Another great day to be alive." I muttered darkly as I grabbed my keys and phone heading to the door.

        I sat in the booth next to Andy while he went on and on about some surprise he had for me tonight. "Can you pl--" He cut me off. "Be right back your surprise just got here." He said smirking while getting up and disappearing. "I can't take this nonsense anymore.. I.. hate this life. this stuff this everything.." I muttered quietly feeling homesick for the guys back at H.U. "Hey Y,N!" A high pitched but still somehow deep voice called from across the room. "Stop it mind." I said as I recognised the voice as Danny's. "Really? Gone for 6 months and your still gonna ignore us?" Jorel's voice said teasingly. Looking up I seen all the guys grinning at me.

        Andy stood smugly with a grin plastered across his face. Jumping up I ran over to them. Jumping onto Johnny I held him against me. "Dammit Dad.. I missed you." I mumbled tears streaming down my cheeks. "Hey.. don't cry. I'm so proud of you." He cooed rubbing my back. "I'm just glad you're okay." He said letting go of me. "Fuck it.. Group hug." I said suddenly everyone began squishing me. "can't.. breathe.." I chuckled feeling home. "Sorry." They said letting go. "I've missed you so much.. I hate what my life's become.." I mumbled looking down. "What do you mean? you're in a successful band, you're gonna be on the warp tour, you're still hot as fuck.." Jordan said mumbling the last part a bit.

           "Yea.. It's not all it cracks up to be.. You guys wanna go and get pizza or something?" I asked looking up at them. "Make it Del Taco and deal." Dylan said causing everyone to laugh. Nodding they led me out of the club and into the night.

          "I wanna go home.." I mumbled under my breath. "What does that mean?" Jorel asked elbowing me. I looked up at him wide eyed, "You.. You heard that?" I asked looking around the table watching them nod. "fuck.. Well I.. I wanna come back to you guys.. I FUCKING hate my band, I hate the people, I hate everything about my life since I took fucking Andy's advice to 'live' it feels like a fucking death sentence and the walls are closing in.. I can't sleep at night and I--" Jorel cut me off by pressing his lips to mine. "sssh.. We love you.." He whispered. "It's true." Danny said giving me a quick peck. "Yup." Jordan said kissing my cheek. "Always." Matt said hugging me.

          "I love you guys to. Can we go home?" I asked softly looking down. "Hell Yea! I'm Driving!" Dylan yelled. "Kids.." Johnny muttered with a chuckle. "Glad to have you back y,n." Johnny said with a smile. "I'm glad to be back." I said bumping him slightly as we walked to the car. "Welcome home babe." Danny said smacking my ass causing me to wince as my muscles twitched pulling at my cuts.

        We got home a few minutes later. Walking into the house I felt suddenly so happy and also slightly dizzy. "Hey y,n.. Why are the thighs of your pants wet?" Matt asked. looking over at him as the room spun, I squinted as my vision began tunneling. "You don't look so good.." Danny said behind me. I felt my knees give out and arms clutch me. My name was being called but it sounded to far away. My vision was dark and soon everything was silent. Nothing left except me and the void.

   (Hello, ello! I have ideas but ugh they don't write down right.. ugh.. Well as always I'll see you in the next chapter, enjoy and RTE OUT :3 )
