The rest of the week consisted of Cal and I spending more time together, Luke and sierra had come over almost everyday, I was getting closer with the both of them and it wasn't as awkward as i thought, Sierra and i had become closer and she was like the sister i never had, she was so understanding and I told her things i would've never told Wren.
Wren left last night so that meant I left in two days and I wasn't keen on leaving but apart of me was still too scared to move here, Ash wasn't happy about her leaving but there was some talk about her moving here, i silently prayed that it wasn't the case.
The guys had been our majority of the day, leaving Sierra, Crystal and I to hang out at Mikeys and Crystals house, it was like cals house, homey, it made me feel safe but in sydney i didn't feel that.
"So, Carter, tell us about you- like we both wanna know you're childhood, your high school years, anything" Cry's stated as she handed me a glass of wine, we sat on the floor as a movie played on the tv, we did this last night with Wren too but at Ash's house, i swear they'll turn me into an alcoholic. I laughed softly and took a mouthful of the liquid.
"Well, i guess no point in hiding thing anymore, you guys are like family, you deserve to know" I sighed and set my glass down, pulling the blanket around me. "My family was uh- my mom and dad fought a lot, there was never a quite night with my family, so i never really grew up with love or affection, i was never shown how to care or love so that was a journey and a half when I turned 16/17, I grew up being bullied, from maybe grade six to eleven i was bullied every single day for the dumbest reasons," I gave a breathy laugh, trying to catch my breath.
"I had an older brother but he passed away when i was seven, he passed away on the day before my eight birthday, it was really sudden and it was after my parents had split. I left with my dad and little brother as my other brother went with my mom" I looked away, trying to blink back the tears, feeling both Sierras and crystals hand touch my leg.
i smiled slightly at their gesture and continued. "high school was no better, i was bullied so much that for a twelve year old i wanted to die, and for years I hid my feelings from my dad."
Finishing off my glass of wine i quickly finished my story. "the start of year ten i became friends with this girl, it still sucked as everyone hated us too but we tired to make it as good as we could till my mom passed away, and after that I got into the wrong crowd and I was addicted to drugs for a solid six months, i wasn't doing very good academically, i was suspended heaps of times and almost expelled but i turned myself around and made it to who i am today" I finished, quickly wiping my cheeks, they both gave me tight hugs before cry's refilled my glass.
Both Sierra and Crystal told me about their high school experiences. it made me feel less alone, that other people go through all kinds of stuff, worse then me and they're survivors.
They spoke about the fans, how scary it is to be a girlfriend to one of the boys, knowing that everyday someone will have something negative or hateful to say about you, why couldn't the world just be kind to one another? Wouldn't the fans want the guys to be happy?
The three of us became wine drunk very quickly, we took heaps of photos and ate food like there was no tomorrow, Crystal had posted this to her instagram and i thought we looked quite cute, i just ignored the fact that i was kind of 'secret' to the world.
