Stay Away From My Friends (sequel to bulletproof love)

chapter 9

Trigger warning.

The next few weeks passed by slowly. It's been a month since my dad and uncle have been on tour, they all FaceTime me every week as they promised and it gives me a bit of reassurance that they'll be back soon.

"Hey dad!" I smiled slightly as his face popped up on my phone.

"Hey sweetie, how are you?" He asked with a smile.

"I'm okay, I really miss you though!" I sighed heavily. I missed my dad more than I usually do. My dad or uncles are the ones I go to if I want to talk to someone but I can't when they're away and I've needed them so much this week. I want to be able to talk to my mum like I do with them but me and my mum just don't have that kind of relationship I guess.

"I miss you too hun!" He replied with a small smile. His face then changed to a concern look, "are you okay sweetie, you look really tired?" He then asked. I just nodded, quicker than I should've.

"Yeah I'm fine, just tired from early school mornings I guess!" I lied, well half lied I was tired but not because of school, I just never sleep very well anymore.

"Hmm okay, as long as you're okay!" He said.

"Yeah I'm okay dad!" I smiled convincingly, "how long till you're back?" I asked trying to change the subject off me.

"Only another month sweetie, we'll be back in San Diego next week for our show there so I'll see you then!" He explained. That made me smile to know I'll see my dad and uncles in only a week.

"That's awesome, are we coming to watch?" I asked.

"Of course you will silly, did you really think you'd miss it?" He chuckled.

"Just making sure, I don't think I could last another month without seeing any of you!" I said with a smile.

"Aw sweetie, you'll be fine, you have mum and Jacob!" He said.

"I know, but everyone knows I'm a daddies girl" I said and he laughed.

"That's true!" He said. I just smiled.

"So how are the others?" I asked. I was missing my uncles a lot.

"They're okay, just their normal stupid selves!" He laughed and so did I. Then the screen moved and Uncle Mike was on the screen.

"Hey munchkin!" He smiled.

"Hey Uncle Mike!" I waved.

"How's my favourite girl?" He asked.

"I'm okay, I miss you though!" I whined, "why can't a month hurry up!?" I pouted.

"It'll whizz by, trust me hun" He said.

"I hope so!" I said.

"Sound check guys!" I heard a faint voice say.

"Well we need to go, see you soon Meg!" Uncle Mike said.

"Okay.. bye!" I sighed.

"Bye sweetie!" I heard my dad shout.

"Bye dad" I said and then the screen went blank. I sighed as I was alone again.

Next day I just stayed in bed, I didn't really feel like doing much. As I sat up on my bed I felt my phone buzz. I quickly picked it up and to my surprise saw a message from Matt.

From Matt:

Check your FB page.

I furrowed my eyebrows and quickly picked up my laptop and switched it on. Once it loaded, I search FB and checked my profile. I froze when I saw a video, it was about me and posted by some girl at my school. I hesitantly clicked play.
