tangled in the great escape. (pierce the veil)

chapter 6

1 month later

we've been touring for about a month, and at first it was exciting but now I'm back to feeling alone. all I do is sleep, wait in the bus while there setting up and watch the shows. I know what your thinking, how can you not enjoy watching pierce the veil live backstage?!?! well after about 30 shows of watching the same thing, it gets sickening.

jaime still keeps a close eye on me, which bothers me a little. he watches me eat and makes sure I keep it down but he hasn't told my dad, he said he wouldn't tell anyone anything I told him as long as I try to get better.

the good thing about the shows is that I can purge my meals while there performing and they would never know. and I wear long sleeve baggy sweaters but it's winter and kinda cold, so no one suspects a thing.

today we're in Minnesota and I was watching from the sidestage until I went to the bathroom. I locked the door and looked on the mirror in disgust. I stuck my fingers down my throat and saw the meals from today. I just sat there and started to silently cry.

after about 5 minutes I went back to the dressing room to grab my phone when I started to feel kind if dizzy then my legs went numb and I felt a sharp pain near my eye and nose. and that's the last thing I remembered before I blacked out.

"goodnight Minnesota! I hope you all had a great time and we hope to see you again!" I said before we ran off stage. I didn't see iris so she must be in the dressing room.

"that was a good one guys" Casey mikes drum tech said. we all responded with yeahs and thanks.

I opened the door to the dressing room and did not expect to see what i saw. there was iris laying a pool of blood unconscious.

"oh my god iris no no no please up! someone call an ambulance now!" no this can't happen I lost Alex I can't loose iris. I just can't.

an ambulance eventually showed up and took her away. I went with and the guys said they would meet me there. when we got there they rushed her down a hall into a room while a nurse showed me to a waiting room. I sat down and thought. thought about all the good memories of Alex and iris and all of us together when we were happy.

mike tony and jaime walked in and mike sat next to me while the others sat across from me while I continued to cry into my hands.

"dude we're all really sorry" mike said with sympathy in his voice.

"do they know what happened yet?" tony asked. I shook my head. the never told me anything. they never even told me if I would ever see her again.

"I think I know what happened" we all looked up at jaime who looked like he was going to cry.

"w-what h-happened?" I asked in between sobs.

"before we left for tour, I could tell that something was wrong with her. I could see that she wasn't eating and I could hear her crying at night a lot. so one night, we talked and she told me everything. that she wasn't eating and she was purging and still cutting. I promised that if she tried to get better that I wouldn't tell anyone. so I watched her closely and she looked like she was getting better, but I never-no one was ever there with her during the shows. vic, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I should have." by the time he finished talking, we were all in tears.

"jaime it's fine. and it's going to be ok. she's gonna be ok."

that's what I kept repeating in my head.

it's going to be ok. she gonna be ok.
