I'm Not OK (I Promise)

"Helena, get up!" John whispered ruffling her already messy hair.

"Uggh." She groaned burying her head deeper into the covers.

"You'll be late for school!" He teased.

*******

Helena walked through the school staring at the floor with her head bent. She tried to stay out of everyone's way and sat down for lunch on the steps alone. Absentmindedly she pulled out her phone and began listening to 'My Chemical Romance'. Even though it made the voices come, maybe she wanted them. Maybe it would stop her from feeling so alone.

"Are you sure you don't want a lift?" John asked fishing in his wallet for merch money.

"No..I can't go in a car." Helena mumbled, noticing her guardians frown she added: "The concert is not that far anyway."

"Fine." John gave in giving Helena a hug. "Be back by ten."

She began walking to the concert. She was happy really, I mean this was her favorite band after all but it was the fact that she was alone that made her sad.

"You're not alone Hels!" Ashton insisted walking along beside Helena.

"Ash, you can't be here!" Helena claimed, looking around her to make sure the crazy girl talking to herself wasn't heard.

"But I want to see mcr!" She protested.

"Fine, but I'm not talking to you."

"Then what are you doing right now dumbass?" Ashton sniggered.

Helena brushed her off and found a spot in the already heaving crowd. Excitement mixed with anxiety bubbled up inside of her as the band entered the stage.

*******

The show was over and Helena was as happy as she could ever remember being. But all that fizzled away when Ashton came back who began shouting abuse at her sister.

"SHUT UP!" Helena yelled bringing her hands over her ears.

"You alright there baby?" A tall man with brown hair who had noticed Helena's distress asked. The way he was eyeing her up made Helena uncomfortable.

"Yeah I'm fine." She said turning and rushing towards a near by tent. The man followed her and she was beginning to panic.

"Where you going?" He questioned, moving closer to Helena so that she could smell the chemicals on his breath.

"Pplease leave me alone." She stuttered.

"Maybe I don't want to." The man said reaching out a hand and grabbing her ass.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" She screamed, just making the man more angry. He moved even closer to her when a familiar looking black haired man in a black suit pushed him away from Helena.

"She said to leave her alone." He growled, then turned to face her.

"Gerard." She gasped.
