Invisible (A Max and Harvey Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

I woke up with a jerk. I didn't know where I was for a second then I remembered what went down last night. A wave of sadness hit me and I wanted to cry. I looked over at Max and Harvey sleeping soundly. They were really nice for bringing me into their home like this. My phone started to ring really loud. I quickly tried turning it down but it wouldn't shut up. I answered it. "Hello?" I whispered kinda annoyed. "Is this Autumn Shay?" The voice said. "Yeah." I replied. Honestly, it was to early for manners. "The scene is cleaned and you can collect your belongings." The voice said. "Ok, thank you." I said and hung up. I put my phone down and seen Max and Harvey staring at me. "Sorry guys." I said. "It's ok. We needed to get up anyway." Harvey said getting out of bed. "No, I didn't." Max said staring Harvey down. "Well, I'm gonna go get Gavin so we can get our stuff." I announced. I got up and walked out of their bedroom. Gavin was already awake. Just the sight of him made me think about my mom. We've always been told that he looks like my mom, and I look like my dad. I instantly wanted to break down, but I held together. "Good news." Gavin said. I don't know how good news could get when your mom was just murdered by her boyfriend who committed suicide after the fact to avoid punishment. "You know Austin right?" Of course I knew him. My brothers best friend and teammate. "Yeah." I said flatly. "Well, he said I could stay with him." "Great Gavin. I'm going to ask Mrs. Mills if she could drive me to our house so I can pick up my stuff. Wanna come?" "Nah, I'll get my stuff later." He said. I walked out of the kitchen to go find Mrs. Mills.

"Mrs. Mills?" I called out. Then out of nowhere she appeared. "Yes?" "Do you think you could drive me over to my house?" I asked. "Oh, sure sweetie." She ran and grabbed her keys then we walked to her car. We rode in silence, mostly because I was organizing my thoughts. "So Autumn, if you want, you can stay in the guest room. I know rooming with boys can be tiring." I smiled at her kindness. "That would great, thank you." I said. We pulled up in my driveway and a bunch of negativity exploded on me. I got out the car and walked inside. There was still blood stains on the floor that made me want to throw up. I walked upstairs to escape the metal smell. I opened my door and it felt like everything was ok. The shade of blue on my side instantly made me feel ok again. I grabbed my Nike Duffel bag and started to put clothes inside. I grabbed all of the clothes out of my closet, and my shoes and stuffed them inside. When I was finished I grabbed a picture of my family before my dad died. We all looked so happy and... Unbroken. A single tear fell onto the picture. I quickly wiped it away. I stood up, grabbed my bag and charger, then without looking back, I left.

We drove back to Mrs. Mills house again in silence. We pulled into her driveway and got out. I walked in the door and seen the twins doing a YouNow. They seen me and said their goodbyes and ended the broadcast. "Hey Autumn." Harvey said. "Hi guys." I said quickly and walked upstairs to find the guest room. I found it and walked inside. I loved it, it was so cozy and homely. It was just full of good vibes. I opened my duffel and started to put all of my clothes into my closet.

I finished and sat down on the bed. I grabbed the picture of my family and just looked at it, thinking about what it would be like if my dad hadn't had died. Suddenly I felt the spot next to me lower. I looked and seen Harvey. "Are you ok?" That was a stupid question. My mom was just killed, of course not. But I wasn't going to tell him that. "Yeah, I'm fine." I said looking back at the picture. "Who's that?" He asked pointing at my dad in the picture. "That's my dad." I said smiling at the thought of him. "Where is he?" I knew if I had to talk about him, I was gonna break down. I stayed silent. "Is he... Dead?" I weakly nodded and tears started to flow. I choked on my sobs, tossed the picture away and put my head in my hands. "Autumn, I'm so sorry." He said pulling me into a hug. I just sat loosely in his arms balling my eyes out like an idiot. "Do you want to talk about it? It might help you feel better." He said.  I sat up and nodded my head. "Whenever your ready." He said. I took a deep breath. "When I was 12 years old, my dad bought tickets for him and my mom to go to a music festival in New York. The day they were supposed to leave, my mom came down with the flu and decided to stay home. He wasn't gonna go, but my mom insisted. He left for the airport about an hour later. Then somewhere in Maine the plane crashed when the pilot had a heart attack. He died along with everyone else." I looked at Harvey. His eyes were glassed over and he looked like he was about to cry. "Keep going." He said. "After we heard the news, my mom, well she changed. She had this crazy idea to move us out here so we could start new. We did and I started going to school. I knew I wouldn't fit in. So I didn't bother trying. My brother did though. That just made it harder. After a few months my mom met this guy named Josh. He was a jerk on so many levels. I always tried to convince my mom that he wasn't worth it, but she didn't want to hear it. I always wondered how she could move on so fast. She said I was worthless and a lousy excuse for a daughter. But I still loved her. School and life in general got harder. And now, I'm here." I said finishing my story off. "Autumn, I had no idea." Harvey said. "Don't worry about it, yeah, I'm depressed and no one knows it, but no one ever cared enough to ask if I was ok." I said standing up trying to keep from punching a wall. Harvey just sat there, staring at me. "You wanna grab some Starbucks?" He asked out of nowhere. I was taken by surprise. "Uhh... sure. I guess." I said.

Hey everybody!! So you figure out a little more about Autumn's past in this chapter, and that she's been suffering from depression. I hope you like it! I love all of you! And remember, you're all beautiful no matter what anyone tells you.
