It took me a while to update because wattpad deleted it when I was about to finish and update. So I'm re-writing it again ugh. Sorry!

------------------------------------------------

~3 Weeks later~

I'm on tour! Woo! So , let me tell you what's happened over the last 3 weeks. I'm still cutting , people tell me to kill myself (on twitter and Instagram), I started school (it sucks!) , I started online school till the tours over and I met Andy's parents!

"Hey, Imogen? You still alive?" CC shouted from the front of the bus. "Nope!" I replied. He came and sat in my bunk. "Can I ask you something?" I nodded my head. "Why didn't you tell us about your self harm, social anxiety and depression? We can help you!" I sighed. "I guess it's cause I didn't want you to have to always check up on me and I didn't want you to feel pressured in having to take care of me." He hugged me. "We love you, Imogen. No matter what. Always remember that."

~skip 3 hours~

I sat at the table and started drawing. I was drawing Jinxx, or at least trying to. I couldn't get his hair right, it looked a mess. I heard my phone ringing. "Ash can you get my phone?" He brought it over to me. Unknown number , again.

(I-Imogen , U-Unkown)

I-Hello?

U-Imogen? Is it really you?

I-Wait how did you-

U-I can't talk now , sweetie. I've gotta go. I'll see you soon!

I turned my phone off and continued my drawing. Andy came and sat next to me. "So, was that your boyfriend?" He winked. I laughed a little. "No , I'm single. And I don't know who it was. It was pretty weird I guess."

~Night Time~

I heard all the guys going to bed. Finally! I can't fucking sleep. It's only 11PM but I'm usually asleep by now. I saw Andy go into his bunk and turn off the lights. I jumped out my bunk. Shit! That was loud! I almost fell. "Imogen?" Andy asked, moving his curtain. "I um-I couldn't sleep. Can I sleep with you?" He patted his bed for me to lie next to him. "May I ask why you can't sleep?" He asked me. "Well, when that guy rang me today, he called me sweetie and said he would see me soon. I guess I was just scared." I mumbled. "Imogen, don't ever worry, okay? I'll never let anything happen to you, and neither will the guys!" He whispered into my hair.

I had a great sleep last night. No distractions or anything! I felt some sort of tightness on my cheeks. I guess I've been sleep-crying. Yet again. I noticed mascara on Andy's chest. Oops. I poked his nose. "You're awake!" He sat up and pulled me into a hug. "Sorry about the mascara everywhere." Ashley came and sat in the bunk with us. "You two should probably clean up. We're going shopping in like two hours. So hurry up!" Andy went to the bathroom first and cleaned up.

I walked out the bathroom with my Pierce The Veil shirt on, my black skinny jeans , black Vans and my grey jacket. I sat on CC's lap and put my arms around his neck. "Well hey there! Comfortable?" He laughed. I smiled and nodded my head. The bus ride was great, the guys helped me with online school and we talked. It was nice. "What is that? And what the fuck does that say?!" Andy shouted. "You need to rearrange the letters. An anagram or whatever the frick it's called!"

"Ash, are you sure?" I heard Jake whisper. Ash has been really quiet today. "Imogen? Can we talk for a sec?" I nodded my head and sat on his bunk. "I know that you're still cutting. I thought you stopped? That's what you told Andy! He really cares about you. He just wants you to be safe. Do you wanna tell me why you're still cutting?" I sighed. I showed him what people have been saying on twitter. "Please don't tell Andy!" Ash hugged me and stood outside his bunk. "Andy!" Andy started walking over. Shit.

Andy's POV

I went to see what Ashley wanted, he's been really quiet today , I hope he's alright. Oh shit, he better not have feelings for Imogen. What am I saying? She's 13! "Yeah, what's up?" I sat next to Imogen on his bunk. She looks scared. Like, really scared. "Imogen, do you wanna tell him?" I looked at Ash, then back at Imogen. "Tell me what?" They both stayed quiet. Imogen rolled up her sleeves. There was a few red cuts. "There's-um-there's some on my thighs as well." She looked down at her wrists. I saw a few mascara filled tears drop from her cheeks and onto her wrist. I put my hand over hers and pulled her towards me. "Imogen-" my voice was all shaky. "No, Andy. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry , okay? Sometimes the urge is just too strong. Sometimes I just need to feel the sharpness of the blade across my skin, I need to feel the blood trickle out of my freshly made cut, I need to see it run down my skin. It's taking over me. I'm not the same person I was 7months ago, my urge wasn't as strong. I've let my demons win." I pulled her closer. "Never give in." I whispered to her, "never back down." I felt her smile against my arm. "I love you." Ashley walked away and shut the curtain. "I'll leave you two." He smiled at me from around the corner.

I took my leather jacket off and lay down. I pulled Imogen next to me and drew shapes on her arms with my finger, gently tracing each one twice. "Sometimes, I think about what life would be like if I never started cutting. No one would ever need to ask me if I was okay. Pencil sharpeners, scissors and knives wouldn't bother me. People wouldn't care if I was near them. My parents might not even be dead! Everything would be different." I pulled her closer to me. "Why-why did you start cutting?" She played with the curtain on Ashley's bunk. "At first, it was because of anger, then when someone said something to me, I would feel weak and I just gave up." She explained.

Ashley's POV

I was the last in bed and I slept in Andy's bunk. His is really comfortable and him and Imogen are in mine so I don't really have a choice. I'm just glad Imogen told Andy. But I guess we'll never know if she ever stops , she's starting to cut on her thighs. We'll probably have to take her to a therapist or something. "Ashley." I got out of Andy's bunk. "What the fuck do you want , Andy?" I opened the curtain to my bunk and saw Imogen lying next to Andy. Aww their legs are intertwined. "I need to pee." I laughed and helped him out of my bunk. "Lie next to her." He pushed me into the bunk. I lay next to Imogen and hugged her. "Ashley?" She whispered. Her eyes fluttered open. "Just go back to sleep." I whispered.
