Give Me Time (M.C.)

Chapter 13 Now's Not the Time

I woke up and we were back on the bus, last night is a blur. I only remember Michael holding my hear while I vomited. "Ughhh.... My head," I say when I stand up. It takes a second to adjust to the bright light of the sun, "I'm never underage drinking again!" I say and flop back onto my bed.

I hear the unzip of a bag, it sounds a lot like my bag. "Who is in here?" I say sleepily. Silence. "Who's in here?!" I open my curtain and see Calum with one of the blades I hid. His eyes are red, "Just one cut, to see how it feels.." He begs. "Calum, no, you don't need it." I says and grab it from his hand, accidentally cutting my hand, "Shit." I say under my breath, Ashton runs in looking for Calum then sees the scene. Blood, red eyed Calum, Bed head me, a razor blade in my hand. "Michael!!!!" He yells. My eyes grow wide, "No please!" I beg Ashton not to tell Michael but he is already here. His face goes from happy to upset.

"I can explain." I say and chase Michael out of the room.

-Michael's POV-
I ran in to see what Ashton had called me for when I see Andrea holding a razor blade, and bleeding. Calum is with her and his eyes are red as if he had been crying. I stormed out of the room, "Michael!" Andrea says and turns me around. Her eyes dilate as I wipe a tear off my face, "It's not what you think, Calum was in my bag and-" I cut her off, "You brought them, the blades, I'm not going to lose anyone else." I say, accidentally mentioning, uhhh, someone who will not be named... Andrea is very surprised, "Else?". Luke stands up, "It was a girl named Kasey.. she went into a coma the day before Michael and hers anniversary.." He said, sparing me the story. I close my eyes, trying not to have a cry voice. I lock myself into the small bathroom and get my phone. I go to the contact named "Kasey Jones"

*I told her*

. I put my head into my hands and sob,"Why'd you have to go Kasey? I never got to tell you I loved you.." I whisper to myself... I slowly leave the bathroom and Andrea runs in right after me and locks the door.

Andrea's POV
I grab the shiny object out of my pants pocket and take off my incredible amount of braclets. I put the razor to my skin and make many slits. More than I'm used to. It doesn't affect me anymore, the sting. I'm used to it, but this many slits makes blood cover the whole floor. I suddenly get very tired and everything goes black.

Michael's POV
Ashton yells my name for the second time today, he is in front of the bathroom. I thought Andrea locked the door, and I suddenly realize why. She is passed out in front of a pool if blood. I run and take her to the couch,"Not this time.." I whisper and grab some bandages. I wrap her wrists in them and sigh, "We can only wait.." I say and my phone buzzes, -New Message from Kasey Jones- Is plastered on the screen. My hands shake as I show Luke. He stares at me, then at Andrea, then at my phone. I open the message and it simply says

*I hope you treat her like you treated me*

I don't know what to say, or to text her back so I call her. She answers right before the last ring," I miss you..." She says in her sweet voice, I have longed to hear it for 3 years. I ask in a shaky voice, "When can I see you?" She doesn't give a real answer, "What about Andrea.." My eyes widen when she says her name. I try to choke out the words, "What about her?" It pains me to say it and I'm sure it will pain her if she knew I said that. I hear a disapproving sigh and Kasey says,"Im coming to your 3rd stop, I have backstage passes. I want to meet her, warn her, then we will talk." Kasey says and hangs up. Tears escape my eyes, and I'm not one to cry when I hear a tiny, "Michael.." it was Andrea. she wasn't awake, just talking in her sleep. I stare at Luke, "Watch her, in going to bed." I demand, though it's only 7:00. Luke has no choice but to oblige, I pass Ashton who is wiping up all the blood, "Kasey is awake. She's coming to the third stop in Washington I think. Please don't tell Andrea.. Please." I told him..he gave me a reassuring smile, "Great! Now go get some rest. Me and Luke will take shifts and wake you up if she wakes up.." He told me, stressing the word if. That's when I realized something, she said Calum was in her bag. I open the curtain to Calum's bed and he is playing her DS, "Not cool.. Don't go through her bag.. I mean it!" I yell at him and climb into my small cubby that us supposed to be a bed.
