I wanna live a normal life

10th September 2024
~Helen’s POV~
I called Gerard to see how he and Frank were getting on with their tour. The phone rang for ages but went to voicemail. ‘Hey, this is Gerard. Leave a message!’ then the irritating beep sounded.
“Hey Gee. How’s the tour going? We all miss you so much. Bandit has been cooped up in her room since you left. The only time she leaves it is to go to the bathroom of school. I hear her crying at night for you Gerard. She really misses you. Please let me know that you’re okay. I love-” the phone cut me off before I could say any more. I threw my phone across the room, fell to my knees and sobbed.
“Mom? Are you okay?” Bandit asked as she got home from school. I shook my head and she wrapped her arms around me, pulling me close to her. “You miss dad don’t you?” I nodded and chocked a small reply of ‘yes’ through sobs. “Hey, it’s okay. You’ve got me and Alex and I’m gonna try to stay strong for you,” she said and I mumbled a ‘thank you sweetheart’ before standing up and walking up the stairs to my room.
~Bandit’s POV~
I’m glad that mom didn’t see my face. I got punched trying to defend Cherry and Lily. This is what happens when you try to stand up to a 6 foot jock!
Once mom was in her bed, I kissed her head and left the room so she could sleep. Ever since dad left, I’ve been self-harming. All the bullying at High school doesn’t help either. And because of the pain that I’m feeling without my dad here, my razor takes the pain away for a few hours.
I pulled my razor apart and held the cold piece of metal between my right thumb and pointer finger. I held my left wrist out and glided the metal object over it. The crimson liquid I love so much slid down my left hand and onto a towel I placed there.
Walking to my en-suite bathroom, I pressed the towel to my arm. A knock on my door startled me and I quickly turned the shower on, discarding my clothes and jumping into the warm stream of water. I turned the water off and stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around my shoulders. Stepping out of my bathroom, I was greeted with my brother sitting on my bed, playing with a shiny object.
“Alex no! Don’t touch that!” I hissed, carefully removing the object from his hands. “You can’t tell anyone okay? Promise?” He nodded.
“I promise Bandit,” he said and hugged me tightly. He better stick to his word or I’m dead…

Notes

I'm sorry...
It fitted with the storyline I'm following okay?
The next couple of chapters will be happier but there will be some like this on and the previous one too...
Love you MCRmy soldiers :)
