One Million Branches [Vic Fuentes Book One]

scaring the thought of kissing razors

I'm so fraking sorry about waiting so long to update! My writer's block is sooooo bad lately! Gah I feel bad bout this! Anyways, here is the newest chapter! I'm so sorry! I'll try to update more, I swear!

Ugh, Monday. I had to return to school. I would probably get made fun of. People will call be an attention whore. Well I should have fun! I heard my alarm clock go off. Yesterday we had spent to day adding stuff to my room. I have to admit, I was amazed. There were Christmas tree lights around the ceiling, allot of books, band posters, a few stuffed Pokemon, and some new band merch. My room also had a ladder outside the window made of vines because I told them that when I'm upset, I enjoy climbing out and looking at the stars.

I got out of bed and walked over to my dresser, I grabbed some black skinny jeans and an AC/DC shirt. I hoped Vic would like what I was wearing. I got dressed and put my makeup on. I straightened my hair and looked at me reflection, I had decided that I was going to get some spider bites.

I ran down the stairs and sat on the couch, waiting for Mike and Vic to finish getting ready for school. I grabbed my Ipod when I heard muffled arguing. I got up and walked closer to the sound.

I got outside of Vic's bedroom door and placed my ear on the door. I heard Mike's voice. "What do you mean? Vic you made a promise! I can't believe you." Mike spat.

"I'm sorry Mike! I couldn't, it's just that, you just don't understand!" Vic argued back.

"Paige. What about Paige, Vic? You promised her. You promised!" Mike basically yelled.

"No! Don't tell her, I'll tell her. She doesn't need to find out from someone else." Vic said slowly.

"Fine, but you better tell her soon Vic or I will." Mike snarled.

I ran down the stairs and sat back down on the couch. Vic broke his promise to me? Then why should my promise mean anything? I mean, I missed the blade. That's for sure. I felt the brims of my eyes sting. I couldn't believe he just broke his promise.

Vic came down the stairs right as a tear escaped my eye, I was glad I had water proof makeup on. I wiped under my eye as Vic came and sat down next to me. He wrapped his arm around me but I pushed him away.

"I'm okay Vic. Just, leave me alone to think, okay?" He nodded slowly then got up and walked out of the room.

When he stood up, I saw them. His fresh cuts. He did break his promise to me. If his promise meant nothing, why should my promise mean anything? We told each other that we'd stop cutting. I guess I really can't trust anyone.

I walked back into my room and picked up the pencil sharpener I was given. I threw it on the ground and stepped on it. I then picked up the blade and put it in my phone case. I had a feeling I was going to need it.

I walked down stairs where both Mike and Vic were waiting for me. When they saw me, they stood up. "Hey darlin'" Vic said. I just ignored him.

"Let's go," I mumbled as I exited the house.

~At achool~

I opened my locker and grabbed what I needed. I kept hearing people whisper my name and it was driving me crazy. You have an issue with me? Huh? Do ya? I thought as I walked through the halls. I was about to reach my first class when I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around to see Vic there.

"Paige, what's wrong?" He asked me. I just rolled my eyes.

"Nothing Vic." I grumbled.

"That's a lie and we both know it." Vic replied sweetly. God he made it hard to stay mad.
