Chapter 49

"Flora, come on. You've been here for 5 days" Angelina pleaded. "We are getting really worried about you"

It was true. I haven't talked to anyone for days. I ignored thousands of texts and calls, even from Luke. I do feel really bad though, but I honestly just want to be alone.

"Just go away please" I sniffed, blowing my nose into a tissue. "I just want to be alone"

"You've been alone these past days!! Let me come in, please" she begged.

"Fine" I groaned.

Angelina opened the door and she gasped. She ran to me and wrapped her arms around me. I quickly hid my wrists.

"You look awful!" She gasped, then shook her head. "I didn't mean it like that!"

It was true though. I did look pretty awful. I don't even remember when was the last time I showered, my hair looks like toddlers played with it for hours and hours, my eyes were puffy and red from crying, and I looked super skinny and pale.

"It's okay" I muttered. "It's true"

Angelina sighed and grabbed my shoulders, forcing me to look into her brown eyes.

"You need to stop crying" she said sternly. "I know that your dad died, but you need to keep going. You can't just cry all day and not eat anything! You need to get up and be strong"

"Or.. I can cry all day. And also, I am eating" I pointed to the empty pint of ice cream on the floor.

"Ice cream is not enough" she told me.

She got up and crossed her arms.

"Get up and go get ready"

"Angelina, now is not the time" I groaned, feeling a big massive headache coming in.

"I'm being serious" she said.

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"N-"

"I do not have time to argue. Get ready or I will literally drag you out of bed" she interrupted.

I shrugged and returned to watch YouTube videos.

"You leave me with no choice" she sighed, grabbing my foot.

She pulled me off of my warm and cozy bed, making me fall to the ground and groan. She let go of my foot and crossed her arms.

"Fine.." I groaned, rubbing my head slightly.

She pointed to the bathroom and pulled me up. She pushed me into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I groaned and widened my eyes when I saw my razor. I quickly hid it in the cabinet, not wanting to see that again.

"Come on!! We didn't get you dressed and full of makeup for nothing" Angelina pulled my arm out of my room.

I groaned, not feeling getting out of my room.

I wore my black skinny jeans that had rips in them, a white long-sleeved shirt that had the NewBrokenScene logo on it, and black vans. I was wearing my usual makeup except there is a lot concealer on my face so it can hide my puffy eyes. I also put my hair in a braid and wore a few band bracelets on my arms so it can hide out my.. you know what.

"Plus, the boys are down stairs to see you!!"

"What?" I widened my eyes at her.

It's not that I don't want to see them. I just wasn't expecting this. Although, I do miss them a lot. I also didn't respond to any of their texts so, I feel really bad.

I opened my mouth to say something until Angelina grabbed my hand and pulled me down the steps. Almost tripping, I found the boys sitting at the couch. They all looked at me and smiled. They ran to me with grins and worried looks. Shielding myself so I wouldn't get hurt, they engulfed me into a big hug, making all of us fall over.

"Flora!!"

"I missed you!!"

"Why haven't you answer my texts and calls?"

"My little flower, don't scare us like that!!"

"Guys, chill!! You are crushing her" Angelina pulled them off of me.

Being able to breathe again, I let Michael and Calum get off of me while I sat on top of Ashton and Luke. I got up and held out both of my hands. They accepted pulled themselves up.

"Ugh!! We missed you!!" Michael pulled me in.

I smiled a bit, not knowing what to say.

"You should have answered our calls and texts" Ashton said.

"I know..." I muttered. "I.. Just wanted to be alone"

"We're here for you" Calum gave me a reassuring smile.

I smiled back, but it was sad one. Deep down inside, nothing could make me feel better of what just happened. Hugging Calum, Michael, and Ashton, I looked at Luke. It looked like he was about to cry.

Luke went up to me and wrapped his arms around me, crying into my shoulder.

"I-I was so w-worried about you.." He sniffled.

Tears brimming at my eyes, I hug him tight. The wonderful smell of him brought me back and I felt a little more relaxed. Wet tears slid down my shirt.

"Luke.." I cried into his chest.

He looked at me, teary-eyed. Luke brought his hands to my cheeks. He kissed my forehead softly.

"Please, don't ever do that again" Luke pleaded.

I nodded my head and kissed my lips. My hunger for his lips that I haven't tasted in ages, filled my satisfaction. I needed this. I've been depressed lately and I honestly just need my boyfriend to help me.

Luke intertwined our fingers. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I looked at Calum and Angelina, who were holding hands and smiling at us, Michael, who was giving Luke a thumbs-up, and Ashton giggled. I smiled at them.

"Let's go ea-" Luke interrupted himself when his eyes pointed at my wrists.

Suddenly, he looked pale. I gave him a confused look until I remembered. Somehow, my sleeve went down and my bracelets didn't cover my wrists fully. I quickly covered it. Michael and Angelina gasped, Calum widened his eyes, Ashton looked disappointed and sad, and Luke looked paler than a ghost.

"Flora.." Luke muttered.

Feeling really disappointed in myself and about to cry, I bolted out of the door. I felt them call my name, but it kept fading and fading. I was running, I don't know where, but somewhere I wasn't there.

Somewhere in Neverland.
