Love, Music, And Heartbreak.

Facing My Obstacles

I woke up the next morning to no Bret. Thank God. I dont know how I could speak to him about last night at all. He probably had enough time to see all my cuts written up and down my wrists. You could still see faint marks where I carved Hate in my arm.

I tried to move my leg so I could turn on my side but something stopped me. The cold. I revealed my ankle that was hurt and it had a ice bag wrapped in a towel.

I heard someone coming up the steps and I closed my eyes because I thought it was Bret. Nope it was Jace.

"Cut the crap sleeping beauty." I flicked my eyes open and he smiled and came over to sit by the bed on the floor.

"Why is Bret doing this? I would have figured he would have run away when I got hurt."

"He still loves you Scar. I saw the way he looked when you said you hated him. Remember Cassidy?" I nodded.

Cassidy was this girl Jace dated 2 years ago. He was head over heels for her. She was really sweet but on her way home one night she was in a big car wreck and died.

"Remember how crushed I was? How I couldn't even go to band practice for weeks? I was in depression remember? Thats how crushed Bret looked like he lost you in a fatal accident."

I looked down.

"And you may not believe he still loves you right now i understand that. What he did tore you to pieces and it was wrong but he does love you and he feels horrible."

"Alright how much money did he pay you to say that?"

"Five bucks." I smiled and shoved him playfully.

"No I did it because you asked why he's doing this. He is trying to get you to forgive him."

"I cant forgive him yet though, heck I can barely look at him."

"Baby steps Scar take your time he will understand."

"Thanks."

We hugged tight for a moment.

"So when do we get to leave? I miss my apartment."

"Tomorrow."

"Ugh!" I groaned.

"Oh shut the fuck up you'll make it. Hey wanna meet The Relapse Symphony?"

I raised my eyebrow at him and gestured to my ankle.

"Oh I got that." He scooped me up and threw me over his shoulder and began to head for the steps. He walked down the steps. He walked to the middle of the living room and stopped.

"You done? Put me down." He then threw me on the couch and I landed on people.

"Oh fuck! Thats not what I meant! I meant to be put down somewhere and not on human bodies!" I rubbed my head and saw I was laying on Crystal and Tristan and Shade. They dont mind if I stay here. I do this to Crystal all the time and Tristan is gay and Shade and me used to date so they dont care.

Jace sat on the arm and patted my head while Crystal played with my hair. I looked around and saw dudes all with tattoos (except Bret he has no tattoos) piercings and black hair and leather.

"Woah so much leather." I spoke and Crystal rolled her eyes.

"Its not like we dont wear any."

"Well duh I know that i only wear leather pants and vests though and occasional jacket for riding my harley." She flicked me in the head.

"Stop hurting the crippled!" Everyone started laughing everyone but Bret.

"Anyway so thats Brandon, Tyler, Alex ,and JC ." She said as she pointed to them.
