5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 210

FAST FORWARD TO 5 DAYS BEFORE NICOLE'S B-DAY...

"Nicole, I know you're excited for your birthday and everything, but would you mind sitting down for a moment and taking a chill pill?" Luke said to me annoyed. He was busy working in his room and I just wouldn't stop bugging him about my birthday in 5 days. I laughed and said to him, "No! I'm turning 13, Luke! Don't you understand?" He raised an eyebrow at me and chuckled. He replied, "Of course I understand. 13 is a big number. You're gonna become more mature at 13." He took a deep breath and continued his sentence by saying, "Hopefully." I rolled my eyes and said, "Speaking of getting more mature..."

Luke: No, you may not get your own Twitter account.

Nicole: Oh, come on, Luke! How old do I have to be? 893472?

Luke: Mmm, give or take a few.

Nicole: Luke, don't play with me.

Luke: (laughs) Nicole, 13 may be a big number, but still not the age for you to be roaming around on social media looking at all the wrong things. 

Nicole: I may see them but I won't get influenced by them.

Luke: I'm not risking it.

Nicole: Why not? Why can't you trust me, Luke? 😠

Luke: Because I know what you're capable of, Nicole.

Nicole: ... 😳 ... Wait... what?

Luke: Nicole, I'm not gonna hesitate when I say this. You are capable of harming yourself. I have never forgotten that one time. And with the horrific things that people say on social media, I can't let you do that to yourself again.

Nicole: Luke, you honestly think I'd do that again?

Luke: I don't think, Nicole. I worry. Keep that in mind. I worry about you.

Nicole: Luke, I know that but is that why you don't trust me?

Luke: It's not that I don't trust you. I don't trust the other people on social media.

Nicole: Oh.

Luke: I'm sorry, Nicole. But now you know the reason.

Nicole: Okay.

Luke: So you're fine with our decision?

Nicole: Wait. Our?

Luke: All of us have talked about it while you were at school, Nicole. Many times.

Nicole: What, about me cutting or about me getting social media?

Luke: Nicole, you shouldn't be talking about that accident so freely.

Nicole: What? Is it bad for me to say "cutting"?

Luke: Okay, calm down, Nicole. This decision has been made and I'm sorry.

Nicole: (sighs) Whatever.

Luke: It's a school night. You should go to bed.

Nicole: Fine.

I exited Luke's room and went to my room. After getting ready for bed, I laid down and closed my eyes as tears fell. Luke reminded me of the time when I cut and it brought me to tears. I'm sorry, but it was heartbreaking. It was a hard time for me of course. He should've known.

Guys! I DIDN'T KNOW BOOKS WERE ONLY ALLOWED 210 CHAPTERS IN THEM! Did you? Well anyway, I'll have to make a "Babysat By Idiots 2" book. It won't be any different. The only thing different is going to be the cover, okay? Let's not make a big deal out of it though. We can just pretend it's one big book. WOOHOO!
