Draw the Shades and Close the Door (a Vic Fuentes Fanfic)

Chapter 39

~~Nina's P.O.V~~

It's been a week since the accident. No one has spoken to anyone. We've just kept our selves to ourselves. We're due to go back to school in 2 days but Jaime won't be going seeing as he is still is an extremely bad condition and Vic won't be going either seeing as he is still in a cell. He has been allowed visitors in the past 3 days but I haven't been to see him. I don't want things to kick off.

I've tried calling Tony but he won't pick up or answer my texts. I know he's torn between what to do but he could at least speak to me. I feel so alone. I've hardly left the house this past week. My parents know some things but not everything. George knows everything and had been trying to comfort me. He said he would go and find Tony and knock some sense into him but I told him not too seeing as we would all just end up in more trouble. It's nice having George home from Uni. I missed him. God knows what I would do if he wasn't here right now to make me laugh and force me to pay x box with him when I'm all sad and grumpy.

I had been to see Jaime once but he was asleep and I didn't want to wake him so I just left without him knowing I had been there. I told the nurse to tell him I had visited just so he knew I too hadn't abandoned him.

I was sat alone in my house. George, Mum and Dad were all out doing various things. Mum had asked if I wanted to go shopping but I declined like usual.

I was just about to flick on the TV when I heard a knocking at my door. I got up shoving the pillow I had been holding back onto the sofa. I really didn't look great. My long blond hair had lost its brightness and was shoved up in a bun on top of my head. The only piercings I had in we're my nose stud and my first ear piercings and my face was clean of make up.

The person knocking on the door wouldn't stop so I walked over and swung it open to reveal a very unhappy looking Michael Fuentes. 'You're an absolute asshole and a hypocrite you know.' He didn't hesitate in saying. 'Always telling people not to break other peoples hearts and saying their stupid for cheating and yet you go and do both of those. You make me sick. Vic was head over heals for you, I've never seen him so happy as when he is with you, It's like he's a different person and then you go and do this. I thought you were different Nina. I though you weren't like the other girls Vic had dated. You were nice, kind, funny, and yet still a but rebellious and I like that and I guess Vic did too.' he had a blank expression the whole time.

I was about to start speaking when Mike jumped in ahead of me carrying on with his speech. 'You don't deserve him. He's still trying to defend you even now you know. He hasn't told mum and dad exactly why he did what he did. He only said he got in an argument with Jaime but didn't say what about. I went to see him earlier and the only reason he told me was because I asked if it had something to do with you. I kinda guessed seeing as you hadn't been to visit him or to speak to me about him. After a while of me pestering him he finally gave in and spilled everything. Told me not to come round here but there was no way I was not going too, not after hearing that. He told me you were both really drunk but I still don't think that's any excuse to cheat.' He finished and sighed. 'Thats it. That's all I wanted to say. I liked you Nina, I really did and it fucking pissed me off that you had to go and do that because now I'm torn too, like everybody else in this whole fucking mess.'

The whole time Mike and been speaking he had been stood on my door step, I hadn't tried to interrupt him. I just let him speak his mind. He was about to walk off when I stopped him. 'Wait, Mike.' He stopped. 'And did Vic tell you why I got to frickin drunk ay?' I was actually quite mad now. He turned around to look at me and shrugged.

'I dunno, you were at a party? That's what people do at parties.' He said.

'No Mike. Yes I was at a party and yes I was a but tipsy but the real reason I got so drunk was because of Vic.' Mike looked confused. 'The day of your gig is my dads birthday and I told Vic that I couldn't go. He got mad and called me an asshole, told me he didn't even need me and basically told me that he was more important than my dad an then just stormed off leaving me standing there, alone and crying. *That* is why I got so drunk. To take my fucking mind of what he had just said to me because it hurt you know.' I let out.

'You still cheated.' Mike said unsure.

'Yes I fucking know I did Mike! You don't have to keep fucking reminding me alright? I don't think you quite understand how bad I feel, how much I regret what I did even though I can't remember it. How much I beat myself up each night over it. You just don't fucking get it do you. I can't do anything about it! It happened. If I could go back I would but I can't so here I am stuck with this shitty little life of mine.' I shouted getting really angry I didn't even bother to look at Mike as I slammed the door in his face. I ran up to my room crying and slid down on the other side of my door. I could hear Mike knocking and shouting at the front door to let him in. I hadn't actually locked the door. He would probably figure that out eventually but I hoped he didn't stay long enough to.

I got up from my door and walked into my bathroom. I stripped down to my underwear and got into the shower letting boiling hot water run over my body. I winced at the pain but it wasn't enough. I reached to the side and grabbed my razor from the shelf. I took a deep breath before sliding the cold metal carelessly over my exposed wrists. I slid the metal over and over again. It stung like mad but it was making the mental pain I was feeling go further and further away. I smiled and was just about to make another cut along my left wrist when someone burst into my bathroom. I didn't see who it was, I was slightly out of it by now but I felt them shut off the water and lift me up out of the shower. 'NINA' I vaguely heard my name being called. 'Nina snap out of it!' they shouted and shook my shoulders. I shook my head quickly as everything came back into focus. I was lying on my bed with Mike stood over me. He was topless and I wasn't sure why until I looked down and saw his tshirt pressed against the cuts on my wrist with his hands pressed firmly over them applying pressure to stop the bleeding.

'Mike?' I said confused.

He looked at me in the eyes. 'Oh Nina thank god. What the fuck were you thinking!?'

'Im fine Mike, leave me alone.' I pleaded.

'No way, you're staying at mine tonight.' He said.

'Thought I made you sick?' I spat out at him. Why was he still here. He didn't care about me.

He let out a sigh. 'I didn't mean It Nina, I was just mad ok? You still mean so much to me and I can't see you like this. We're both going to see Vic tomorrow whether you like it or not.' He told me helping me sit up. I realised I was still only in my underwear and suddenly got a bit self conscious.

'Um Mike?' I said quietly.

'Yes?'

'Err im still only in my underwear do could you like.. Let me put on some clothes maybe?' Mike looked down as if he was only just realising.

'Oh' He said his eyes locking onto my body. He didn't move his gaze.

'Mike!' he jumped and suddenly looked away.

'Oh yeah, right.' he said awkwardly and moved away from me walking out my bedroom door leaving me in privacy. Well that was awkward.

I got changed and packed my things for tonight seeing as I knew Mike wouldn't change his mind about me staying over. I text my mum telling her I was staying at a friends before leaving the room to find Mike. I walked into the kitchen with my bag over my shoulder only to find Mike sat at my kitchen table with his head in his hands. 'Whats up Mike?' I asked quietly.

He ruffled his hair and looked over at me. 'Everything is just one huge fucking mess right now and we really need to get it sorted.' He sighed. 'And we had to cancel our gig on the 22nd. We probably won't get another chance again.' He said with a sad expression.

'Don't say that Mikey, you guys are great, you'll get another chance.' I tried to reassure him.

'Yeah, that's if our band even stays together through this mess.'
