Somewhere In Neverland ~Flykarth~

Chapter 4

Alex's POV

Well, that was literally thee worst week I've ever had! I'd had at least two anxiety attacks a day, I was gaining six fresh new scars on my arms once they'd healed, I'd cried enough tears to fill a river bed and, oh yeah, Ashby punched me in the ribs at lunch. He'd caught me talking to Kellin, next thing I know, Kellin was punched in the face and me in the ribs...and they where bruising, fast...and badly. I knew, this was only the beginning, it was going to get worse. I could make it easier on myself and ignore Kellin at school, but he was the only person in the school willingly to speak to me. I figured if we went through the hell together, it wouldn't be so bad, I guessed. He begged me to stay away, but if it was going to happen to him, I wasn't an ass, I'd stand by him, hell's better if there's someone going through the same thing with you. Even if you where both weak ass, depressed wimps. Made you feel less...alone. I could act 'normal' but I didn't have a single clue what 'normal' was, I couldn't stop the anxiety, I couldn't stop the depression and girls...just...no, urgh!

At least I had tonight to look forward too, me and Kellin where going to that Green Day show tonight. I'd half expected my parent's to kick up a great big fuss about it, but they where too happy I'd 'made a friend' to care. Plus, Kellin's cousin, who was twenty was coming with us, which made them feel a little better about the whole, safety, two fifteen year old boys at a rock show alone side of things.

Was wearing a Green Day tee too cheesy? Nahh! I grabbed my American Idiot tee from my closet, along with a pair of light denim skinny's and my plain black DC's from my closet as I dried myself off from the shower.

I didn't want to wear a hoddie in the venue, it was going to be way, way too hot for that, so I grabbed my plain black sweat bands and all my bracelets out of my draw and slipped them on over the bandage. I could always say I sprained my wrist somehow, things like that happen right? Though, I've seen Kellin's arms, so he'd know, but I didn't mind, it was just everyone else.

"Alex?" My mum knocked on the door.

"Yeah?" I quickly scrambled, throwing my hoodie on, I would still wear it on the way there and back.

"What time is your friend picking you up?"

"Uh..." I looked over at my alarm clock flashing 18:04. "About half an hour."

"Well, quickly come eat dinner before you go love." She smiled sweetly.

"Ok, be down in a second." I nodded and she left.

Matt's POV

"Matt sweet, what time is the concert starting, your sister wants to know what time to drive you over there." My mum yelled. Wasn't cool my sister had to drive me, but sadly, my car was in the garge being fixed.

"Starts at half seven, Jack will be here in ten." I called back.

"Ok, I'll tell her."

To say I was excited was an understatement, Blink 182 was my all time favorite band, but Green Day ran a close second. It was my first Green Day concert too, and, thank god it was just me and Jack going, no one else. Ashby wanted to come, but he'd been grounded, and even though he's a total jerk, he didn't dare go against his dad. And the others where going to some 'start of year' party, so at least, just for tonight, I could be just...me. I know I could be a jerk sometimes, but I really wasn't that much of one, and I was glad to know I could just be my normal self for one night.

I checked myself in the mirror, my Dookie album tee, my denim baggy, yet, flattering jeans and my white vans. I put in my white plugs for tonight, and of course, my lip ring. I debated that for a second, I've been to many gigs and nearly had the thing ripped out. But I figured whatever, Jack was tall enough to sheild me. That thought made me chuckle, he'd actually make an awful body guard given he looks like he'd break if you hugged him. He was so...lanky, but yet he ate like a pig! I did envy that about him, If I ate a pig, I'd show it! Hence why I had a small stack of weights in my room and a tredmill in the garage, looking his hot wasn't easy!
