Adopted By The Sidemen (Sidemen Fanfiction)

Chapter 25

*Mackenzie's POV*

     Once we got to school, I had a gut feeling that today wasn't going to be that great. Karmyn and I said our goodbyes and climbed slowly out of the car. As we walked closer and closer to the school, that feeling was getting stronger and stronger. I thought I was going to puke. As we opened the front door, I saw it. The thing that would ruin my day and probably my entire school year. There, taped on the big brick wall in the main hall, was a giant picture of me. Naked. All of my scars visibly showing. I had a bra and panties on. That's it. My heart sank to my feet. I ran over to it and tore it down quickly. But it was too late, there were people all around Karmyn and I, pointing and whispering. There was a laugh behind me and I knew exactly who it was. "That's my artwork why would you tear it down?" Lucille's voice broke the horrible silence. I cringed. "Huh? Answer me you little whore." She said  I felt a pair of hands push me from behind. I turned towards her. More embarrassed than angry. She got inches away from my face. "This is what happens when you threaten me. If you're going to do what you told me you were, I wouldn't. This place is crawling with police, thanks to me." She said with a chuckle. I clenched my fist and bit my tongue. I had to hold myself back not to just kill her. Right then and there. I felt a hand on my arm, grasping it and pulling me the other way. I knew it was Karmyn, so I gave in to her pull. She brought me to a bathroom and hugged me. No words were said. She just hugged me. I had tears in my eyes that I refused to let fall. "It's okay. It's okay." She said softly in my ear. I sniffled. "I love you." I replied shakily. "I love you too." She said in that same soft voice. It reminded me of what a 'mum' would do in a movie. Or not in a movie. In life. But I never actually had a 'mum'. I had a 'mother' that gave birth to me, but she was never my 'mum' Why didn't you tell me?" She asked after the hug was over. I shrugged and looked at my feet. "I've never done it, but I have came so close many times." She said quietly, looking at her feet as well. "Don't do it." I said and looked back up at her. "I won't. I'm too much of a pussy." She said with a small smile. I managed to smile. The bathroom door swung open. We both snapped our heads to it and a girl was standing there. I have seen her before, but I didn't know her. "Freaks." She mumbled under her breath as she barged past us to fix her hair in the mirror. "Heard that." I said to her. She looked at me and rolled her eyes. I walked out of the bathroom and Karmyn walked beside me. We walked silently to our first class. I sighed as I took my seat. There were people all around pointing at me and whispering in their neighbor's ear. I am never going to live this down. I wonder how they even got that picture. It was obviously taken in the locker room when I was changing for P.E., but how did that hang it up and not get in trouble? I shrugged it off and did my work. I guess I will just have to live with it.

*Skip time to after school*

     I got out of the car and walked slowly up to the house. I had not told the guys about hat happened, and I intended to keep it that way. I put my bag in my room and went to the kitchen. Vik, Josh, and Simon were all sitting in there all ready. "The gang's all here." I said with a smile. "Care to explain?" Vik asked as he held his phone out to me. I took it from him and my heart sank for the second time that day. It was the same picture. On twitter. With all of the guys tagged in it. It was everywhere. I sighed and handed him his phone. "Someone took a picture of me in the locker room and now it's everywhere." I said quietly. "And people are making fun of you at school. Right?" Josh said as he stood up. "No." I said sharply. I lied. I had never lied to the guys before. "You're lying." Simon said as he stood up. "No I'm not." I said loudly. They didn't say anything. "Yes you are. Look at the comments on this." Vik said from his seat. Josh and Simon sat back down and looked at Vik's phone. I left. I ran up to my room and shut the door quickly. I didn't lock it. I secretly wanted them to follow me. I heard multiple set of footsteps coming up the stairs. There was a soft knock at my door. "Come in." I said with a sigh. "Are you alright?" Simon asked as he opened the door. Vik and Josh followed him in and that all sat on my bed. "I'm always alright. Aren't I?" I said sharply. They looked at their laps. All of them. My phone started ringing and I looked at it, it was Cal. I sighed and threw the phone to Josh. He answered it. "Hello?" He said calmly into the phone. I could faintly hear the sound of Cal's voice, but I couldn't make out what he was saying. "Yeah she's okay. Someone took that picture whilst she was changing in the locker room I guess." He said as he looked at me. I avoided his gaze, but I could feel his eyes burning my skin. "Yeah..." Josh said as his voice trailed off. "Alright. Bye." He said as he hung up. He threw my phone back to me. I looked up at him. "He told me to tell you that he loves you." Josh said after a few seconds of silence. I nodded in response. I quickly texted Cal 'I love you too' and the locked my phone and put it away. "We love you too. You know that right?" Vik spoke up. "Yes. I love you guys too." I said. Josh and Vik stood up and walked out. It was just Simon and I. "Guessing you're not up for that date now." He said with a a sigh. "I'm down." I said, sitting up a little more. It genuinely excited me to think about going on a date with a Simon, even after today's events. "Great." He said with a big smile. "Get ready. Unless you want to wear that, I don't care. We are going to, drumroll please," he said as I drummed my fingers on the desk. "NANDOS!" He finally yelled. He began cheering and I just stared at him. "Okay, maybe not." He said as he looked at me. "No. We're going to Nandos." I said as I stood up. He nodded. "Are you ready?" He asked. "Yep." I said as I slipped my phone in my pocket. "Me too! Let's go then." He said as he walked out of my room. "Yay!" I yelled as I raced him down the stairs. He ran after me. "Oi! You sket get back here!" He said. I stopped and turned around. He was smirking. I giggled. "WE ARE LEAVING!" I yelled up the stairs and ran out of the house. Now for the first date round two.
