Chapter 1

Fast forward a few months and a lot had changed. First off, I was put on pills. I hate them with a burning passion. I don't feel myself on them, but they do help. I can't be mad at that, I suppose. It was my first day of public school, and to make matters worse my Dads were on tour. They left yesterday, and since I had been so bad, my uncle's would be here to make sure I don't die. They also wanted me to try public school. But boy was I pissy about them leaving. I missed them and as much as I love my uncle's, I wanted my Dads here, not them. I could only deal with Pete for so long, he's a bit much.

"Sweetheart, Mel is here. C'mon get up. You need to FaceTime your Dads." Patrick's voice rang through my ears and I groan. "I don't wanna go to school. It's the middle of the year, everyone already has their groups, Imma be lonely uncle trick." I mumble and I hear him sigh. "Believe me I know high school is hard, especially since you're a freshman but you have Melody. Big crowds usually mean big trouble. It's best to keep to yourself, get what needs to be done, done and pass. That's all that matters right?" He says and I open my eyes. "School still makes me homicidal and suicidal." I joke, and he chuckles. "It sucks I know. We'll take you out for dinner tonight how does that sound. You choose." He says and I sigh. "Fine but I'm calling my Dads before you guys drop me off." I say.

They agreed to drop me and Melody off for our first day but after that I have to take the bus. Understandably enough, getting up this late should be a hate crime. Against children. This should be illegal. "Delilah get your ass up, Jays coming too!" I hear Melodys voice yell. "Do we have enough room in the car?" I ask. "We'll make it work." Patrick says and I nod. "Hurry up so you have time, I'll be downstairs." He says while patting my shoulder and I nod. Luckily the school didn't have dress code, so I put on black skinny jeans and some random t shirt. I also put on my necklaces and bracelet. I wasn't kidding when I said I'll never take them off. I also wore my pride converses. Because gay, of course. Thanks uncle Andy. I press a kiss to the necklace my Dads gave me before taking a deep breath and walking out of the room. I go into the bathroom and brush my hair out, pulling it into a ponytail. I put on mascara and decided I looked decent enough to go outside.

I go downstairs and Jay tackles me into a hug and I gasp. "I haven't seen you in fucking forever!" He yells and I laugh. "Sorry, Sorry! After tour I needed a reboot and slept for a week straight!" I giggle as he let's go of me. "Oh god you look emo, Melody what the fuck." He says turning to her and she laughs. "I bought eyeliner on tour too." I say and he pats my shoulder. "Welcome to the club." He says and I smile and laugh. "Okay so warning. There's a good 20 people in our grade who are complete dickheads. Stay away from them. Uh, the teachers are nice as long as you do as you're told, don't skip class they always find out and then you'll get iss well the first time they give you a warning after that you're done for, which isn't fun believe me. If you're gonna fight, don't do it at school because $600 fines arent fun, I mean i guess you don't need to worry about that because you're rich but whatever and uhh." He says and I visibly cringe.

"I'm not rich. My parents are." I say. "They'd pay it off for you though, just please don't fight you have a pretty face. Don't ruin it." He says while patting my cheek. "Speaking of them I need to call them." I say and take out my phone. I FaceTime Brendon, since I know he'll answer, and as expected he did. "Hey angel, are you there yet?" He asks and I wanted to cry already. I think I have separation anxiety. What even is that, maybe I don't, I don't know. I don't know anymore. I just don't like being anyway from them.

"No, I don't wanna go." I say and he frowns. "I know and I wish we could've taken you but, you were really bad. Maybe next tour." He says and tears swell up in my eyes. "You guys are gonna be gone for 5 months." I pout and he nods. "I know Lilah. I'm really sorry. Dad and I miss you. A lot. I wish we could be there with you for your first day. Just don't think about it too much okay? You'll make tons of friends trust me. This'll fly by and we'll be home before you know it." He says. "Okay.." I say. I didn't believe him. It'll feel like forever.
