Give Me Time (M.C.)

Chapter 7 A Shocking Reveal

Andrea went into the bathroom, leaving me to wander and or wait for Calum. I stand up and walk into her room and start digging through her stuff. That's when I happen to find a small journal with a infinity sign on it. I read the last entry to see if it was about me and it was!

I can't belive that 5 Seconds of Summer is staying in MY home!! I'm embarrassed that I had fallen asleep on Michael that way, but hey, I was tired and Michael Clifford was in my bed!!

I blushed and heard the knobs of the shower turning. I quickly ran back into her living room.. I have decided to ask her out on Saturday. She told me she does not have school, and usually can get off work if she needs too (With the right excuse, I assume). When Andrea came out of the bathroom she was only covered with a towel. I didn't even realize I was staring, "What the hell? Don't look, please" she says to me. I look away and put my hands on my face until she goes into her room. Suddenly I hear her scream, "NonoNO!". I run to see what's the matter and she is staring directly at me, I've never noticed how blue her eyes are. I am not sure how to react, "What's wrong?" I say and take another step closer. "Were you in my diary?" She yells, probably louder that she intended. I nodded and Andrea put her hand on her face, her towel falls a little and I can see quite a bit of cleavage, "I-I'm going to wait for Calum.." I said right before my cheeks got hot. I closed the door and nearly fainted
*Knock Knock*
Calum was at the door, I opened it quickly, "Help Me." I said as he walked in. "What the hell did I miss?" He says. I explain the whole cleavage situation and he smiles,"Did you comment on her towel-mishap?" He replies between giggles. "Oh my god, you are sick!" I whisper yell at him. "Michael, has Calum left yet?" I hear Andrea whine that from her room, "Uhhhh....No?" I yell back twords her room, "What's wrong?" I ask her. She stays silent. "You better go... I think something is wrong with Andrea.." I tell Calum. He nods and wishes me good luck then leaves. I set the small duffel bag that Calum brought me on the couch. I walk to Andrea's door when I step in something red. Blood. I bang on her door, "Are you fucking cutting?!"" I scream. Silence. I yell it once more,"ARE. YOU. FUCKING. CUTTING?!?". More silence then a tiny "Yes.." from her room. "Bandages are in the bathroom, under the counter... Get some for me?" She ask though the crack in her door. I give her a nod and walk to the bathroom, when I happen to see a small bottle of antidepressants. She could overdose with these. It gives me a really bad feeling but she is mad at me enough, so I have to fight the urge to hide them. When I go back to her room, she is sitting on her blood-covered bed sobbing and still cutting. "Stop!" I yell at her, she looks up at me with puffy cheeks and red eyes. I run to her and take the blade, then sit with her hugging her, never wanting to let go.
"Michael, I'm sorry..." she whispers to me
I smile at her and stay with her until she goes to sleep. I feel bad for her, she has to go to school with all those bandages on her. She must get bullied a lot or something for her to cause physical pain to herself. I look at the blade she was using a bit closer, it is labeled "Just Because", what does that mean? Was she just cutting for the sake of cutting? Who is this girl and what has she done with the Andrea that fell asleep on me. The sweet one who loved fruit smoothies? I should watch her more closely...
