Flick of a switch

Chapter 7

*A/N Just so you know, I'm not really this bitchy all the time and I haven't changed my outfit in this chapter bc it's the same day so just enjoy a gif of Ian that hits you right in the feels*

Finally, half an hour of freedom. I walked out onto the enclosed field and lit a cigarette. A boy wearing shorts, a blazer and a tie came over to me and asked to sit next to me, I just gave a "Mhm" and carried on smoking. He kept trying to talk to me so I just replied with 'yes, no or mhm'. I started to surf my phone until I heard his voice again.
"You do realise your not allowed to smoke here right?"
"You do realise I don't care right?" I mocked him, I really wasn't in the mood until a teacher came over to lecture me. When she walked away I grabbed my bag and did a runner through the school and to home. I spent the most of my day in a small cafe.

I was leant on my hand, bored, until Lip came in. Why couldn't I just be alone for once? I remembered I was next to a board so I just leant back in my chair. When it got to around 4 pm I went for another walk around the town and saw a redhead. I knew who it was straight away. Ian. He was alone but looked so stressed. I walked over to him and called him from about a meter away.
"Ian?" I called, unsure of his reaction. He turned his back to me.
"Go away." He mumbled under his breath and stubbed the cigarette out with his foot. (Like this:)

"What happened?" I questioned.
"What do you mean what happened?" He replied like I had been there for a long time.
"I mean what happened!"
"The Meds! The meds are what happened!" He shouted throwing them on the floor. "Loads of people seem to feel the need to treat me different now I have been diagnosed to be bipolar! I don't even know who I am anymore!" He suddenly went from angry to upset, tears out of his eyes.

I ran over to him, I couldn't stand seeing people like this, it broke me.
"Im never going to treat you differently, you just know that, okay, not like I can be arsed changing for anyone, which I would never do anyways but I can't be bothered to get out of bed on a morning never mind change for someone." I laughed and I heard a slight laugh come from him. I smiled and actually hugged him now. (Like this:)

"So do you promise that you will take them? For me? For Mickey."
"I don't know..." He slurred his words. I rubbed his upper arm to calm him down after knowing that he would tense up at the mention of the meds. I just want him to get better. I love him but he's dating Mickey but that doesn't mean I'm going to glide away from him. Even if we ever stop being friends. I'll be there if he needs me. Just like everyone else I like and will be there for anyone else when they need me.

We were walking back to our street and it was awkward silence until I just had to break it. There is this guy called Archie Hall and he is sexyyy.
"Hey, Ian?" I asked to break the silence. He looked at me then back forward.
"Thats my name don't need to ask." He smirked at his sarcasm.
"You know Archie Hall, that realyyyyy hot one that lives like a few streets away. Do you think he's sexy or not?" I tapped on my chin, pretending to think while waiting for his answer and he chuckles.
"Yeahhhhh. Don't tell Mick I said that!" We laughed. I'm so glad I've got him as a friend. I smiled to myself and looked forward.
"I totally would..." He playfully punched me in the shoulder and when I hit him I tried to do a runner but it didn't so I got... rugby tackled...
