Does It Ever Get Better? (On Hold. Again. I'm Sorry)

"They're Back." - Chapter 50

his one goes out to . OH MY GOD, I'm honestly so sorry. Like I completely forgot this chapter/promt/idea/thing. I'm so so sorry. If you do not mind, I was thinking making it a two parter kinda thing, hence the promt being,
"Her brothers find out she's getting bullied, and cutting/self harm."
So I'll do one with them finding out she's getting bullied, and one with them finding out she's cutting/Self harming. If you are not following her, do it right now. She's a good friend, so follow.

Evan's p.o.v.

Wow. To think I could get away from school during the summer. Like I can get away from the work, the classes, the drama, and the school itself, but I can't get rid of people. Yes, I was supposed to do summer school and get a therapist, but I talked to Michael about it. We made a deal that I come to him with my problems and that next year I'll do better in school. Well, the school bit isn't a problem so far, as for going to him for my problems, it's a work in progress- Not really. I decided to go for a walk with Erika. Well, at least walk her to work. I start work in a week. It took a lot of convincing with Michael because he doesn't want me working. Erika was wearing her white Vans, My Chemical Romance sweatshirt, a pair of white skinny jeans and the same sunglasses as when I met her. Now that I think about it, I've never seen her without her sunglasses. "Erika?" I started. "Can I see your eyes?" We've been dating for two week so far and I think things were going well. We only said I love you a few weeks ago which is weird seeing as my brothers threw that word around a lot within the first week of meeting their significant others... I think? I can't promise that is true. We also haven't kissed, which I didn't mind because I didn't know how. Sex was the furthest thing in my mind and I think the same with her. We've hugged when paying ways, or getting one another and we hold hands. That's it.

"Why?" She asked almost timidly.

"Please, for me?" I asked as we approached the mall.

"Well, lucky you-" She started and twirled me around. "-just so happens, I love you." She pulled her sunglasses off. Although, her eyes remained shut.

"Erika!" I whined and lightly hit her arm.

She chuckled a bit before opening her eyes, but all I could see was her right eye which was a golden brown color. Erika moved her fringe that covered her other eye and I stared into a green forest color. "Happy?" She asked.

"Wow. Your eyes are so pretty." I said and found myself staring into her sparkly different-colored eyes, looking lovestruck.

She chuckled again and kissed my cheek. "Look, I gotta get in there. See ya after?" She asked as she slipped her sunglasses back on.

"Yup. I'll be at the skatepark." I said.

"Okay then." She gave me a hug and pecked my cheek again and then my lips. "I love you."

"I love you too." I said. She walked into the mall. When she had first told me that she loved me, I was hesitant to answer her at first, but ever since, it makes me happier and happier every time it falls from her lips. It felt right. I made my way to the skatepark that was next to the mall. There are so many skateparks, beaches, and malls here. Although, I do miss the beach house.

"Never thought I'd see this slut again." Shit. I know that voice.

"Actually, I'm not a slut. The definition of a slut is someone with multiple sex partners. I have never had sex-" I explained and turned around to where the voice came from.
