Rebel Love Song (BVB Fanfiction)

Chapter 15

Raven's P.O.V.

This day was perfect. But now it was over.
Then Lyndsey decided we are gonna do an all nighter.
I was laying against Ashley and we fit together like 2 matching puzzle pieces. He had his arm over my shoulder.
Through the day, I had found out how much we had in common. Our favorite colors are green. We love the same food. Our favorite movie is Stand by Me, and we both like the same music type.
Andy and Jade had left to who knows where.
When the movie was over, Ashley and I snuck to Ashley's room.
"So, what's your biggest secret?" Ashley asked like we were teenagers at a sleepover.
"You found that out yesterday," I said, looking down at my right wrist.
"Why do you do that to yourself?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yes," he said, placing his hand on top of mine.
"Ok, here it goes."
_____________flashback____________
I was 12 years old. I had just relapsed from that horrible pop music back to the heavy metal and screamo music I grew up on.
Black Veil Brides didn't exist yet. They didn't come until a year later.
"Mom!" I screamed as my mom fell to the ground while cooking dinner.
I ran to her to find her violently shaking and barely breathing.
"Dad!"
"What is it honey?" My dad asked while walking down the stairs.
Once he got to the point on the stairs where he could see the kitchen, he nearly tripped over himself trying to get to us.
We took my mom to the hospital.
We were there for 3 days before she was pronounced dead.
My dad completely broke down.
He didn't talk to me. He barely noticed my existence.
This went on for 2 years. My dad had started drinking.
I was now almost 15 years old.
I was sitting on the couch watching TV.
My dad had gone out. Probably to go drink and get some slut.
There was a knock on the door. I wasn't expecting anyone.
I went to the door, and there where two officers in front of me.
"Are you Raven?" One of the asked.
"Yes..." I said.
"I'm sorry to say, but your father was killed in a crash. He had been extremely intoxicated," the other officer said.
I literally fell onto the ground and started bawling.
Next thing I knew, I was laying in my bed.
I rolled over to grab my phone, knowing that what I had just seen was a dream.
There was a note.
It said...
"Raven,
  Your aunt will be coming to get you today at noon. Please pack some stuff. The rest of the stuff will be moved over later on this   week.
I'm extremely sorry about your loss.
               -Officer Brian
So it was all true? I looked over at my clock. It was 11am.
I had to hurry.
At noon, a car pulled up and I saw my aunt and uncle.
They helped me put my 2 small suitcases into their trunk.
I got into the back seat and we drove for about 1 hour in complete silence.
I grabbed my phone and put in my heaphoned and started to listen to music. I had discovered Black Veil Brides about 3 months ago, so I was listening to one of their songs.
We pulled up in front of a big house.
They helped me unpack in the room they had given to me.
There was no bed, so I lied the few blankets I had packed down in a corner and put my pillow down.
I hung up all of my clothes and put my suitcases into the closet and fell asleep.
Luckily it was summer time so I didn't have to worry about school yet.
Life was easy for about 3 weeks. Then they started beating, raping, starving, and bullying me.
School had started and it was my second year in high school so I was a sophomore in a new school.
I made no friends. I was constantly beat up and bullied at school for being emo/goth. So I started cutting because it was the only way I could let out my feelings. I wasn't allowed to have a journal and I had no money to get a therapist.
I had nobody at all.
Nobody cared about me.
But Black Veil Brides always saved me from ending my life, if you could call it a life.
Finally I turned 18 and I moved out, placed a restraining order against them. The constant nightmares always made me cut because I still had no one.
That until I met Jade and Lyndsey four months ago. I promised them I would stop cutting and I have. They have been there for me and I love them so much.
_________end of flashback_________
"Oh my god. Your life has been so hard, and you don't deserve this at all," Ashley said.
"I wish I had told my dad not to drink. I wish my mom had never died," I wiped the tears that had started falling from my eyes.
Ashley grabbed my wrist, pulled off my wrist bands one by one, revealing thousands of scars from almost 5 years of cutting.
He traced all of the visible scars with his index finger, making me shudder under his touch.
He then started kissing them. Ever kiss was very light and sweet. Full of respect and caring. His warm breath against my cold skin made me shudder more.
I think I love Ashley Purdy.

Does her story make you rethink your life or what?
It almost made me cry, and I wrote it!
Here's my inspirational note...
Your life is not as bad as you think it is. If you have food, water and shelter, you should be glad. But that isn't the complete truth. Everybody needs love too. Everything has feelings and our feelings depend on how people treat us. If people hate you, you start hating yourself, but it doesn't always have to be that way. If people hate you, then they are only jealous because they can't be like you.
Well there you go.
I love you guys.
Also this is an extremely long chapter so I'm gonna stop babbling on and let you take a break from this sad chapter.
Love you soooooo much.
See ya next update ^-^
