Chapter 27: Relapse

Just a warning, there are some mentions of self harm, and depression, in this chapter. They are not severe, but they are there, so know what you can and cannot handle reading.

Rory POV

I wake up in a bed, in an unfamiliar room. I sit up quickly, breathing hard, only to feel a hand on my shoulder. My head snaps in that direction only to see Kouvr, looking worried.

I look around, realizing that I'm in Mia's room.

"Hey, you're awake," calls a soft voice, who I realize is Mia. I slowly push myself up shakily, leaning back towards the headboard. As I look around I see Mia, Kouvr, Lauren, Charli, Jack, and Olivia scattered around the room with their phones and a couple ring lights.

"Yeah... w-what's going on?" I don't really know how I got here or what's happening. Charli looks like she's nervous about something, Jack looks like he's ready to jump forward at any moment, Lauren looks confused, and Kouvr, Olivia, and Mia all look incredibly concerned.

That's when I remember.

Bryce.

Lucas.

Laurie.

Jaden.

The car.

And now I'm here.

My eyes widen, and I lock eye with Mia and it's as if everything happens in slow motion.

I launch myself off the bed and away from Kouvr, and I'm so small that I sprint past Jack and through the door, running down the hall. I hear them yelling and running behind me. I don't really know what I'm doing or if I ever even had a plan.

So I duck into the nearest room.

Jaden POV

When I got there it was a mess. They all had to pull Bryce, Ryland, and Tony out before I got there, and I had to help yell at them to get them into a car and then Quin, me, and Noah had to deal with the dudes sister. She wasn't happy that I yelled at her. I still don't like her.

Like, c'mon bitch, your brother assaulted our friend, his girlfriend.

He messed up.

So now we're back at Sway, the Hype House boys are heading home, Bryce is raging out again.

"Where is she?!

The jerk didn't even care what he did, he deserves so much worse!

Why the fuck can't I go back?!"

Basically over and over, he's just raging and keeps breaking things.

So that's where we're at.

Thomas POV

I walk through the front door of my house, only to hear banging and yelling. When we've all walked in, we hear footsteps running down the stairs and we see Lauren and Olivia run out, frantically.

"She's locked in a room again, and we can't get her out and," Olivia starts, out of breath, Lauren continues,

"She just ran out, we couldn't even... stop her," They both look completely freaked out, but for a second I have completely no clue what they're talking about.

"Who are you talking ab... wait is Rory here?" Olivia gives me a look and nods, and with that I run past her, the girls and Tony, Ryland, and Michael following. I go up the stairs as fast as I can, running down the hall towards the sounds of banging.
