Adopted By Sleeping With Sirens

Chapter 20

Marisol

It has been a long car ride so far and lets say I might have fell alseep. Once I eventually woke up, my eyes fluttered opened and I felt Jack gently shaking me. I sat up and yawned and he smiled. "We are home... for now" he said and I smiled. "Thank you Jack. It really does mean alot" I said feeling and acknowledging that I was somewhat sober. I got out of the car with Jack and he hurried to my side and we walked on the cool rocky cement ground. It was very fancy looking and they lived in a beach house. It was also a very lovely point of view, not so many houses were nearby. It was just quiet and their house seemed like private property but being All Time Low, they would need that.

The house looked amazing and I could not explain how fancy it was. The windows were all see-through and the lights we on. I could see Alex in a banana suit laughing. I giggled and Jack followed my eyes and we started laughing together. Jack lead me to the front door and he just opened it and I followed. "I'm home! Where's my food at bitches?!" Jack yelled and I began to laugh. "Wait is that—Marisol!! I thought it was you, heard your laugh" he said and pulled me in for a hug. I hugged back and turned to Jack. "So why you here so late?" Alex asked. He's full of questions.

I eyed Jack and Alex looked at both of us. "Oh ehm....oh. I see. Jack" Alex said and elbowed him while winking. Jack furrowed his eyebrows and I looked and noticed what Alex was doing. "Alex.. No, not that" Jack said. "Okay, Marisol is going to be staying with us until further notice. Because...." he stopped and looked at me for permission and I nodded. "Well. Josh cheated dude" Jack said and Alex went to happy, to upset. "Oh um. Wow. I am sorry to hear that Marie. You dont deserve that and I believe that you will find another person" he said and pulled me into another hug. He rubbed my back and I nodded. "Thank you Alex for everything" I whispered.

I heard a clicking noise and I pulled away and looked towards the direction the noise was from. Alex's girlfriend Lisa. I smiled politely and she just stared at me and Alex. "Lisa.. Meet Marisol" he said walking over to Lisa and she pulled away and stomped upstairs. Alex followed her and left me and Jack clueless. "Oh yeah, Lisa could be a bitch sometimes. Never get on her bad side." he said and walked over to their fridge. "Wait why?" I asked him. "Well because she would be a whole different person and she could get carried away. I've been there and it sucks aaaasssssss" he said and I stared blinky at him as he walked away. I stood there quiet and alone. I think I know why she might be mad at me.

Did she really think i would take Alex from her? I felt ashamed. I really do need to chill out and stop wondering around like a puppy. I am so needy. I might of caused problems between Alex and Lisa. Just like I did with Kellin and Kate. Damn, twice. I hate how I depend on so many people. I hate how when i want to hangout with a best friend, it's always wrong. Hanging out with Jack and Alex is wrong for me I guess? Maybe I shouldn't be here. I think I should leave.

I turned around towards the door after I was trapped in my thoughts. I am a bad person. I slowly walked over to the door and placed my hand on the door knob and twisted it with little strength. It opened and I walked out. I gently shut the door trying to not make a loud noise. Now I see what I've done. I threw my own dad away, Vic, I don't even check in with him like I should and just cause problems. Literally, everything I've ever touched has been so reckless.

I then started walking away from the house to nowhere.

As I felt my lungs feel twisted up, dehydration probably. I've been walking only for a while now, well I am not sure how long I've been walking. I had decided to simply walk to feel a bit of dependency. Real question was, was why did All Time Low have to live so far away from a town or city, fuck. I pulled out my phone from my backpocket and saw messages from a lot of people. I spotted Katelynne's name which did surprise me. But of course, likewise, I ignored them. There was a name I did click though.

"Hello Marisol? Where are you?? Josh told me what happened." It read. I felt guilty. I slowly thought for a moment then replied, Hey. I am visiting a friend. Jack. I will explain everything once I am home. But dad, I think I am ready to go home. I hit send and slowly kicked a rock. I did come across a few houses. What was strange about this neighborhood was it was really quiet.  Pretty boring actually. "Marisol!" I heard a faint noise. I turned around only to see Jack? "Jack?" I asked looking at the driver. He parked the car on the side of the road and began to run to me. He nodded and kept running. I walked towards him and smiled questionably. He ran closer and closer until our hands touched. "Hey I was-" he panted, "—I couldn't find you so I-" more pants, "—thought you walked so I came along..." he said giving me a cute smile. "Oh wow Jack" I said and smiled. Wow.

"Let's get back shall we? I parked my car a little back.. So I didn't run all the way" he said and I smiled. "Thanks Jack, you didn't have to by the way..." I whispered and he smiled and spoke up, "no it's alright..." He said and we walked back. It was a silent walk. "Sorry to ask but why did you even walk here and why did you leave?" He asked. I went silent and muted myself. I didn't want to speak because if I did, he will just petty me. He's heard enough of my gibberish. I don't want to make the same mistake I did, opening up to people.

"Marisol! Are you okay? You're crying!" Jack hurried towards me and hugged me. I felt my cheeks and they were sticky and warm. I felt more warm tears escape from my eyes and I just pulled away from Jack and wiped my tears. I shook my head. "No I am not crying" I said and he looked at me worriedly. "You are too crying. Is there something you don't want to tell me?" He asked me as he placed his arms on my shoulders. "Jack! Just stop, okay? Leave me alone! Stop asking me all of these damn questions okay?" I screamed at him.

Oh no. Don't tell me I'm seriously doing this right now. "Woah Marisol! What's wrong? You were perfectly fine just an hour ago" Jack asked more worriedly. "No I'm not okay I promise! (Cries bc MCR) Nothing will be okay! I am not even close to being perfect. Don't you get it, I'm lying to you about my true self. You think of me as this fun girl but I'm just fucked up in the head! I want to be alone to just to be left to die, okay? Do you understand? Leave me alone!" I yelled at him and he stood there shocked. He tried to touch me again and I hit his hand away. "Just leave me alone" I said finally as I took off running away. I heard him running along and I knew I couldn't out run him. Pretty soon everything I felt the whole world twirling and I shut my eyes. I instantly passed out.
