(i'm sorry everyone, we're doing another time skip XD)
TRIGGER WARNING:
mentions of former self-harm
i am in NO WAY trying to romanticise mental health or depression at all, i'm trying to get across a character to spread awareness and use this platform i have to do so. depression can be another linked symptom of adhd, adhd can trigger depression in some.
nobody will be self-harming in this chapter but there will be mentions of past times.
please if anyone needs to talk or needs someone to vent to, i'm always here. nobody deserves to go through things alone. i've been there, it's an awful thing to go through. things get hard sometimes but just don't give up without a fight, and when you feel like you can't go on, i promise you there will be others around you who will help you fight.
i love you all <3

it had been a week since arabella last saw noah. noah had been staying at the hype house for the past week, deciding he wanted time away from everything.
joshua had been coming round the sway house a lot recently, everyone enjoying his company. joshua would be leaving to salt lake city in around two weeks so he was making the most of his time in la.
arabella had been cooped up in her room, occasionally coming out when joshua practically forced her. joshua could see that arabella had been almost falling apart without noah. she has been having more bad days, totalling around four in the past week alone, her anxiety had skyrocketed. her friends were worried about her, but she would always brush it off and say that she's fine.
arabella had spammed noah with texts apologising and asking him to talk or come back to sway house but he had left her on read every single time. she grew exhausted of the endless cycle of no replies, but she would still message him every day to ask if he was okay, even if she got no reply.
arabella had been drinking a lot the past week too, her alcohol consumption was at an all time high. she believed it would help her problems go away but she found herself feeling even worse sometimes. but it was a distraction, a drink in her hands kept her occupied to prevent her from hurting herself.
arabella had a long history of mental illness, but it had lessened over the years. she had diagnosed depression and anxiety disorder but came off of her anti-depressants a few years ago. she never spoke about it and was always very private. she learned to hide scars and learned the best places to self-harm to release herself. it gave her a way to feel again, even though it was physical pain it took her away from what went on inside her head. she adapted to this lifestyle and it took her to an awful place.
