You know how, in high school, you'd sneak out to see your boyfriend, or you'd sneak them into your house? And when your parents caught you, you were guilty, yet they're yelling at you made you scared? And if you have an older sibling, preferably a brother, you were afraid of their reaction the most? Uhm...yeah....I was afraid of what Mitch would say or do when he saw the bruise on my cheek.
"What's Mitch gonna think?" I panicked.
"Well, he'll kill Ty," Michaela shrugged. "But if I were you, I'd be more worried about what Ile and I are gonna do, and what Flame will do to both you and Sky."
"What are you gonna do?" I asked.
Michaela grabbed my shoulders and looked me dead(lox) in the eyes. "You. Attempted. To. Cut."
"You......what?" That voice belonged to my cousin. Oh crap.
I turned to Mitch. His eyes went wide, than turned angry when he saw the black and blue mark on my cheek. "Who. Hit. You?"
"Deadlox!" Sky yelled from the kitchen.
"He was going to hit Sky so I blocked it by taking the hit. Sky kissed me....yadadada, I'm going to bed now!" I said. I turned to go to bed, but someone grabbed my wrist.
"Why?" Was all Mitch could say.
I just shook my head and went to Ty's room, curling up on his bed. I let the tears fall. I was tearing Team Crafted apart, I was hurting my friends and family, and I nearly hurt myself. Ugh. Maybe Texas, or even Michigan, would be better than here.
Someone came into the room and lied down next to me, wrapping their arms around me. They kissed the top of my head and pulled me into them.
"Don't leave me, don't cut, and please, just love me," Ty whispered as he buried his face into my hair and probably fell asleep. I fell asleep, too. Ty needs me and I need him.
Or so, I hoped.
