Should I thank you for the Venom? (Redo)

Gee’s pov.
Lulu had hung up and I was freaking out. She sounded very upset and on the verge of a panic attack. Bob, Frank, Ray and Mikey were all looking at me, wondering what was going on. “Okay, so Lulu is coming, but she’s freaking out. I have no idea what’s going on, but she asked if she could stay here for the weekend.”
“There must be something going on with her family. That’s why she left so suddenly and why she’s coming back again.” Mikey mused.
“I don’t know, but she said she was coming right over. I guess we should just chill until she gets here.”
The doorbell rang only a minute later. I ran up the stairs and opened the front door. Lulu was standing there, looking so broken and fragile, holding a duffel bag. It was raining, so I quickly dragged her inside. As soon as I closed the door, she collapsed into a mess of sobs on the floor.
“F**k, Lulu what happened to you? Come on baby, get up.” I was starting to really worry. Looking at her closely, I noticed her face was red and her arm was bleeding. “Shit, Lulu you have to get up. We need to clean off your arm.” Lulu started to hyperventilate. She was having a panic attack, but I couldn’t do anything about it while she was lying on the floor.
“Bob! Get up here now!” The only thing I could think of was to have Bob carry her to the bathroom.
Bob came in but stopped when he saw Lulu. “Oh my god, what happened?”
I was crouched next to Lulu, trying to calm her. “I don’t know. Just come over here and carry her to the bathroom. Something happened to her arm.” Bob’s eyes got wide as he saw the marks.
He kneeled down and picked her up bridal style. Lulu was still crying and shaking. Bob placed her on the bathroom counter, and I got out the bandages. Lulu looked at Bob and me. “You two must hate me. I even hate myself.”
I didn’t know why she would say that. She didn’t even do anything that would cause us to hate her. I just couldn’t believe that my friend would do this. I would have never guessed that Lulu was a self-harmer. “We will always be here for you, and no one would ever hate you.”
“Of course we don’t. You’re just a bit broken. I mean, I know how you feel, Lu.” Bob pushed his sleeve up to reveal a network of scars and cuts on his wrist. Tears started streaming down his face. Lulu looked away.
“Oh, Bob. Why didn’t you tell me?” I took his wrist into my hand. “You’re my best friend. Why do this to yourself?”
“I didn’t want to worry you. I just feel so alone all the time. I don’t want this to happen to Lulu.” Bob took a wet towel and gently wiped off Lulu’s arm. When he was done, Lulu and I got out a bottle of peroxide and cleaned off and bandaged Bob’s wrists too.
Lulu placed her arms around Bob’s waist and rested her head on his chest. “We can get through this together. I know we can.”
Bob pulled Lulu closer to him. “I’ll try my best.”
“Oh my god, Bob, will you just ask her already?” The way they were holding each other, they were perfect for each other.
Bob smiled at me, but Lulu just looked super confused. Bob looked down into Lulu’s eyes. “Lulu, I know I just met you, but you make me smile. You are bringing happiness back into all of our lives. You are a special girl and I want to help you see that.I was wondering, would you do me the honor of being my girlfriend?”
Lulu slowly brought her hands up to cover her face. Tears started to spill over as she nodded her head. “Yes, oh my god. I… I can’t believe this. I don’t know what to say.” Lulu looked so happy, and so did Bob.
“Baby, you don’t need to say anything.” With that, Bob put his hand under Lulu’s chin, and tilted her head up. He closed his eyes and leaned forward placing a soft kiss on her lips.
I took that as my cue to leave, backing out of the bathroom and making my way downstairs. Frank, Mikey and Ray looked up when I walked in. “Babe, what happened? We heard you call Bob, and then we heard Lulu crying.” Frank rushed out as he gave me a hug.
“Yeah, is Lulu okay? Where are she and Bob?” Mikey asked anxiously from Ray’s side.
I walked over to my bed and sat down with Frank next to me. “Lulu had a panic attack. She’s fine now, but I think it’d be best if she told you what happened. I’m not even exactly sure what caused it. And I think Bob needs to tell us something too.”
Just as I said that, Bob and Lulu walked down the stairs, fingers entwined. “What…?” Ray asked when he saw their hands.
Bob sat on the floor and pulled Lulu onto his lap. “Frank, Ray, Mikey, I’d like to introduce you to Lulu, my girlfriend.” The guys and I all “awed”.
“That’s so cute! I’m so happy for you two!” Frank gave both of them a hug.
“As sweet as this is, we have some serious stuff to talk about.” I looked over at Lulu. “What happened? What made you panic like that? Please don’t be afraid to tell us.”
Lulu moved off of Bob’s lap and took a deep breath. “Well I guess I should start by saying my Dad’s a bit of an alcoholic. He can get crazy when he’s drunk and you don’t do what he says. He also goes nuts when he isn’t drunk. I guess it’s just his personality or something. He’ll get into these ridiculous arguments with my mom for no reason, just stupid stuff like a cabinet being too full, or not giving him the TV remote. He also used to victimize my older brother too. I used to scream and cry because I was scared he would really hurt my brother. It’s not even like my brother was a crazy teenager. He got straight A’s and never got in trouble. My dad would never even say sorry for what he did. He would laugh it off like it wasn’t even important. When my brother went off to college, I was so happy that he’d be away from my dad.” Lulu paused to take a shaky breath.
“Shh, baby, it’s okay.” Bob put an arm around her.
Lulu took another deep breath. “Thanks. Anyways, it just tears my heart out. The reason I left earlier was because my dad called me. He wanted to know where I was. When I told him I was at a friend’s house and they were some guys from school, he got all mad. He’s mad that I’m friends with guys. He thinks you are going to do something to me. I know you guys never would, but my dad told me to go home. That’s why I left so abruptly. When I got home, he started yelling at me, and I stood up for myself. He hit me, and I kicked him. I ran to my room and called my mom. She said I could stay over here because she’s on a business trip.” Lulu stopped and leaned on Bob’s shoulder.
I got off my bed and gave Lulu a hug. “I had no idea you were going through this. If you had told us sooner…” I was shocked that happy little Lulu was going through something so hard.
“It’s okay. I know you all have your own things to worry about that are more important. I didn’t want you all to worry about me. I’m not that important. I’ve dealt with it all my life. I can do it without you. Just don’t worry about me.” Lulu smiled like nothing was wrong, but tears were streaming down her face. It concerned me.
Mikey was frowning, but went over to Lulu. “The thing is I knew there was something wrong, but I didn’t do anything about it. I could tell just too easily that something was killing you inside, but I did nothing to try to help you. After all you did for me, I sat there watching you tear yourself apart. I’m a terrible, selfish person.”
Lulu gasped and pulled Mikey into a hug. “No, Mikey, never say that. You are an amazing person. Please, never think low of yourself. I never asked for your help. Please, don’t think I’m upset with you. You’re going through your own hardships. If anything I should be helping you. I can tell you hold so much in. I shouldn’t be so worried about myself.”
I looked at Mikey. I guess I never noticed until then what Lulu was talking about. Mikey looked so lost and afraid and, broken. I guess I’d been too caught up in myself to notice that my little brother needed me. “Oh Mikey. Why didn’t you tell me what was going on? I’m your big brother. I’m supposed to protect you, and I didn’t even notice something was wrong.” Lulu released her grip on Mikey so he could come over by me.
“It’s okay Gee. I didn’t think it was a big deal. That’s why I never told you or Ray.” Mikey snuggled into my arms as I held him close. Ray came over and hugged him too.
I realized just how broken we all were and that we needed to start fixing each other. “I say we all have a sleep over. Does that sound good to all of you?”
“Well I’m already staying over, so Frank, Ray and Bob might as well stay too.” Lulu suggested from Bob’s protective arms.
“Okay, let’s go get the air mattresses.”
