Y/n
It's been a whole week since the party and Justin had been ignoring me ever since. Andrew tried to talk to him, Derek tried to talk to him, Tevin tried to talk to him, heck, I tried to talk to him so many damn times.
"N/n, just because he's being an ass, doesn't mean you can't sit with us," Andrew pointed out. I shrugged.
"I know, but I've created all this tension between you guys. It's better if I fade out of his life or something," I said, faking a smile. Derek puppy dog eyed me but that didn't work.
"C'mon, please, N/n, please," Tevin begged, getting down on his knees in front of me. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Nah, besides, I have to go during this lunch period," I told them. My three goofy friends groaned, causing me to laugh. "See you later."
I walked out of the school, exhaling deeply as I did so. Why does Justin hate me? What did I do? I thought. I must've done something wrong, right? Hehe. Quietly stepping into my house, I bolted to my bedroom. Tears poured from my eyes as I silently cried. No sniffles. Just tears. As if my depression was drowning me. It was.
I curled up in a ball, hiding in my small closet. Avian had always been claustrophobic, therefore I didn't have to worry about him looking for me in here.
I didn't cry often. And when I did, that had meant I met my limit. I'm a human. Humans can only handle so much bullcrap.
I sighed, raking my nails against my skin, clawing myself until I saw red. I know for a fact that this works, I do it to myself.
All I can do is ruin things, all I can do is cause trouble.
I let out a screech as I drew blood. Pain flamed through my right arm as blood pooled at the top. I squeezed the skin around it, making more scarlet substance pour out. Good, I though angrily. I can't help this world. All I do is make it worse.
"Hallo!" of course my goofball brother said 'hello' to a usually empty house.
I smiled slightly as the tears flooded my face. Oh, frig, I left my bag downstairs, Avian knows I'm home.
"N/n?" Avian called out. I heard him walk up the stairs. My door opened and closed quietly. I didn't make a noise, not wanting him to find me a mess in the closet.
Then a spider landed on me like a fricken pervert.
"Aah! The fudge!" I screamed. There's goes being silent. The sliding closet door was opened and as soon as I saw Avian, I cried even harder. The spider must've been like 'ew, what's the matter with this thing' cause it left. Seriously, it just walked out. Perv.
"N/n, what's wrong?" my brother crouched in front of me. I completely broke.
"A... a friend of mine has b-been ignoring m-me. Well, I-I thought he was a f-friend," I hiccuped, madly wiping tears away. Avian hugged me tightly.
"How about we go eat ice cream and watch Disney?" that had always been the cure in the L/n house. Depression? Breakdown? Anxiety? Disney and ice cream.
I nodded meekly and followed him downstairs. Avian retreated to the kitchen to grab the ice cream while I got Moana out. It was a good movie.
"Here's the tub," we L/ns lacked a little something called 'restraint'. We've ate a tub of ice cream each without help. What? Some days were just really bad.

"Any better?" Avian asked, an arm wrapped around my shoulder. I snuggled closer to him and nodded.
"Hey, Av?"
"Mhm."
"Thanks. I love you."
"I love you too, N/n. Forget that jerk." Thought that was the end? Haha, you're WRONG! Or are you?

You're wrong.
"Um, Avian? I think he might be my soulmate," I said, brows furrowed. Avian paled.
"Oh shi-"
"Children are present, Avian!" I shouted, gesturing to myself. We both laughed, knowing I had zero child innocence. We both burst out laughing.
"Mkay, N/n. If you're a child, go to bed," he ordered. I pouted and crossed my arms.
"No," I said in my most bratty voice. Avian faceplamed.
"Y/n yes."
"Y/n no."
"Y/f/n no."
"Hah! Maybe reverse psychology does work!" I cheered. Avian rolled his eyes. "I'm going to head to bed anyways, night, Av."
"Night, N/n."

Ah, nothing like sibling bonding! *throws a brick at brother* Am I right?
