Fatal

Chapter 9

We've been home from tour for a couple of days now and I'm still not totally myself from that night. I haven't been. Talking much and my eating has become rare. I know my dad is worrying about me but what can I say to him? He keeps trying to get me to talk about it but I don't want to. I just want to forget it. "Hayden, are you up?" I heard as Chris knocked on my door. "Yea." I said and he opened the door. "What's the matter?" He asked as he walked over and sat on the side of my bed. I looked down and sighed. "I told dad I didn't want to talk about it." I said and he nodded. "Well, you don't have to talk about it. Just tell me what happened." He said as he hugged me. I sat silently for a few minutes before I sighed and spoke up. "The night I sang with you guys, after the show at the signing, people kept calling me names and making fun of me and saying mean things. I have a past with bullying and I even tried killing myself once when it got too much to handle." I admitted, getting quieter at the end. Chris looked down at me and shook his head. "Hayden, don't let them get to you. They're just fucked up and want to make you feel insecure. You have no reason to be. You're beautiful and talented. Embrace yourself and your difference from the rest of the world." He said and I nodded, feeling a little better. "Come on, get ready." He said and I looked at him confused. "Why?" I asked and he smiled. "We are going to make cupcakes." He said and I giggled for the first time in awhile. "Where is dad?" I asked and he shrugged. "He left and asked me to come watch you." He said and I nodded. He took m hand and pulled me out of my bed easily and we went to the kitchen. When we got to the kitchen, I saw tons of Walmart bags on the counters and looked at Chris. "Devin said he didn't have the stuff for cupcakes so I got it." He said and I nodded. We started unpacking the bags and setting everything out before we washed the pans and bowls and utensils he bought and set to work. We mixed up 4 different kinds of cupcake batters and poured them into the pans before we put them in the oven. We made all 4 pans at once since the oven could fit 2 of them long ways on each rack. When they got finished, we let them cool off as we mixed up home made icing for each of the different kinds of cupcakes and iced them. After the icing, we put designs and sprinkles on them and put them in the fridge. After we cleaned up and washed the dishes, Chris looked at me with a grin. "What do you want to do now?" He asked and I grinned back. "Order sushi and pizza and watch Bates Motel." I said and he laughed. "Weird food combination but lets go for it." He said as he picked up the home phone and the phone book. We ordered our food and went to the living room to wait. We ended up watching the first episode of Bates Motel as we waited patiently. After I food arrived, we made smoothies and got Monsters before we continued watching the show and ate. Eventually, my dad came home and Chris left. I gave him a big hug bye before he left, then went to my room. I went on Twitter and Instagram on my laptop and saw the guys finally followed me back and giggled. I decided on spending my night watching YouTube videos until I fell asleep.

Sorry it sucks and is shorter. It's kind of just a filler. Idk what I wanted to write right here so I just filled the gap! ☹️
