5SOS Adopted Me?

Chapter II Mall Time

-Rebecca's POV-

"Why would I judge you Becca?" She asked setting the blade on the counter and pulling me into a hug.

"I don't know.. Everybody else does... Would.." I corrected myself softly before I glanced to the counter where my razor was.

My throat tightened and it became hard to breathe. My head began to spin as the thoughts of the blade at my wrists and thighs came back. Alyssa let me out of the hug and I almost fell back. She reached forward and held me up steady with a concerned look on her face before following my eyes to the blade.

"Becca! Stay with me! Your my best friend, don't give into it! Your birthday is in four days! You get to see your idols in person, and meet them backstage! Hold it together for everyone you love.. Even your parents. My parents. Just I love you like a sister and it would kill if you left me." She hugged me tighter as her own eyes welled with tears. "Sleep in my bed. I'll sleep on the daybed." She pointed to the small bed in the corner of her room.

"Thanks Lyss." I mumbled as I forced a smile to her.

I turned around to my bag after she left and glanced at the doorframe briefly before stuffing my blade back into my bag and doing it up. I walked out and set my bag with my stuff and sat on the end of the bed, throwing my hair up into a messy bun. I stood up and flicked off the light.

"Night Becca."

"Nice Lyss."

And with that I climbed into bed. I glided my fingers along my scars, feeling them protrude and the skin was rough. I sighed finally feeling relief that someone knows. It was hard dealing with this alone, but I didn't want anyone to worry about me. I was silently hoping that someone would find out and help me, help me get better for the long run.

"Wake up Becca!"

I turned to the sound of my best friend. The warmth from the window danced across my eyelids. "Get up! Come on!" I opened my eyes, sat up cross cross and squinted at Alyssa. "We have to go clothes shopping for you."

"What's wrong with my clothes?"

"Just come on." She grabbed my hand, pulled me off the bed and gave me a pile of folded clothes and a pair of knee high combat boots. "Get dressed. I'll meet you downstairs." And she left shutting the door. I closed the curtains and laid out the clothes she picked for me. A black skater skirt, a black graphic crop top saying 'I don't need you I have wifi' and white thigh high stockings and the combat boots. I sighed and got changed, throwing on my bracelets and Dutch/French braiding my bangs then putting my hair in a half up half down ponytail. (( Outfit in Pic ))
I added a black bow to the hair elastic. I walked to the mirror and did my makeup and glanced at my bag which held the addictive piece of metal before I sighed and went out and downstairs.

"Mom and dad are at work and I told them we were going to be out." She said handing me a granola bar. "No thanks. I just brushed my teeth." I set it on the counter and smiled. "Okay well we should get going." She said grabbing her purse, and keys and sliding on her converse that matched her jeans and her baggy bright red Mickey Mouse sweatshirt.

I walked over and smiled. "Okay." We left and got into her car. We drove to the mall. I sighed and played bubble breaker on my phone on the car ride. I was highly appreciated that Lyss made sure the skirt covered my scars on my thighs.  I hummed to a couple songs then a reminder popped up on my phone.

•3 Days till concert

I smiled and locked my phone. "What are you so smiley about?" She asked. "Three days."

"Till...?"

"The concert!"

"And your birthday..."

"I don't care about my birthday! The concert! I actually get to meet them!"  I smiled. The butterflies in my stomach came to life. My heart began to race thinking of them. All they've gotten me through. They are the main reason I haven't cut.

The car came to a stop and I got out. People from our school were out front. They saw me and kind of were in awe. I blushed and Alyssa came around, linked arms with me, and strutted past them. I smirked softly.

As we got into the mall I laughed. "What was that?" I smirked and just kind of and began overthinking it. "They probably thought I was ugly..." I mumbled.

"Shut up! They though you were hot. I could see a little drool on Zack's mouth." She giggled and nudged me a bit.

"Really? Zack was there?!?" I asked.

--------

After about four or five hours a shopping we had to sit.

"My feet!!" I whine as we sit down at the food court. I glance up from your feet and see the group of guys from your school staring at us.

"Why are they staring at us?"

"Because. They know Zack has a crush on you and they are prodding him to come over and talk to you." She said checking her phone.

"No he doesn't."

As I said that Zack stood up and made his way over to us. "Hey."

"Hey." I smiled up at him. "I noticed you guys this morning...." "I couldn't tell.." Alyssa said leaning onto her palm like she's interested, but her voice was laced in sarcasm. I smiled and laughed softly. I looked down quickly and my ponytail swung to the side of my face.

"Anyways, there's a party on Tuesday and I wanted to know if you wanted to come?" He looked at me. I looked up and I got upset.

"Shit..."

"What?"

"I'm going to a concert Tuesday in Toronto. I am really sorry. Maybe Alyssa can go.."

I turned to look at Alyssa and smiled.

"I mean I'm fine with it if you are.." She looked up and smiled.

I softly smiled and checked the time.

"Hey... We should get going..." I stood up and flattened my skirt. Alyssa sighed and stood up.

And we went home..
