Y/n pov:
Ruel and his family had been in New Zealand for a week after Christmas, and that's when things started to fall apart. I've struggled with depression and anxiety since I was 3 years old after seeing my uncle get taken away. I always knew that in some sort of way Ruel was a cure. It's hard to explain but I'm happiest around him, and when he's not here it's messy.
The day after they left, I went down to the kitchen to get some food. Halfway down the stairs I heard Jax, Keiran and my parents talking
Keiran: they need time apart. When he's not here she locks herself up and shuts down. It's not healthy mum
Jax: she had the potential to go places with her life and she's thrown it all away to make music with him.
Dad: well what do you suggest we do?
Jax: she needs to go back to school
Keiran: no. We need to move. Get as much distance in betw-
Mum: we are not ripping them apart! They've been there for each other since they were 6 years old. That's all she's ever known is him.
Jax: well she needs to at least stop seeing him for a bit
Keiran: listen to us mum. She has no other friends. And she's not going anywhere with her music. She's got talent yes, but not enough for a career
I had enough of this
y/n: nice to know you were gonna run this past me everyone
Jax: no y/n we were comi-
I run back up to my room slamming the door. I didn't care about what any of them had to say
Jax: fuck!
That week I only came out to get food and see Pupper (yes my dogs name is Pupper). Ruel had tried to call me but I never answered. I was scared to tell him what my family said. Keiran and Jax came and apologised a few times but I didn't want to say anything.
On Sunday afternoon there was a knock at my door
Ruel: it's Ruel, I'm home
y/n: I don't want to talk
Ruel: why not, didn't you miss me?
Ruel was back. Part of me wanted to be happy and hug him. But the other half wanted him to leave and never come back.
Ruel pov:
Every year for Christmas we go to see dads family in New Zealand. It was always a good time, spending it with my cousins and eating tons of food. When I'm away I try to call y/n daily, and wait for her to answer within a second. But this time, no answer and no response to my messages.
I always knew she struggles when I wasn't there, and so did I. When I'm touring she usually locks herself in her room for weeks at a time until I get back. Something must have been seriously wrong for her not to call me back. So, the second we got home, I ran over to see her. To my surprise, everyone was home sitting in the kitchen.
Vi: before you go and see her, we need to talk
Ruel: did something happen. Is she alright?!
Dad: physically yes. Mentally, we don't know
Vi: she over heard a conversati-
Keiran: wasn't much of a conversation mum, just tell him the truth...
They explained to me what happened and that they take it all back. My heart hurt. They wanted us to stop seeing each other and I don't think I can function without her. I know she can't without me. I had a drink and run up to see her. I took a deep breath and knocked on her door. No answer
Ruel: it's Ruel, I'm home
y/n: I don't want to talk
Ruel: why not, didn't you miss me?
I knew she did but she didn't answer
Ruel: listen, I know what happened and trust me. I'm upset too, but you can't push me away like this
y/n: why not, that's what they want
Ruel: they were concerned for you. Thats it. They wouldn't actually do it.
y/n: go away Ruel
Ruel: not until I can see you
y/n: just leave
Ruel: don't push me away. Not now!
y/n: go home Ruel! I don't want you here.
Ruel: yes you do. I know you better then you think
y/n: no you don-
Ruel: yes I do. I've known you for 11 years. 11 fucking years. Just open the door. Please
y/n: Ruel, go home.
Ruel: open the fucking door y/n!
I hit my hand to the door out of rage. I just wanted to see her, and hold her for a minute.
Ash: give her time Ruel, she will come around.
Ruel: I need her Ash.
Ash: I know you do
I fell to the floor with a thud and buried my head in my hands. I hate to admit it, but I cried for a good hour. I was tired and started to drift off. I was half asleep when Keiran picked me up and put me down on the hall way couch with a pillow and blanket.
I was going to be here for a while, so I may as well be comfortable. Pupper came and snuggled with me because he couldn't get into y/n's room. That night I couldnt sleep. All I could see when I closed my eyes was y/n and that hurt.
