Friendships Never End

I woke up after Mike started to play with my hair, "Mikey whatcha doing?" "Playing with your hair because it is super soft." He said still playing with my hair, I rolled my eyes and got up. "Shy, are you still hormonal or did you pick the true person you love." "Still hormonal" I said walking towards my closet. He groaned and just laid there. I grabbed a t-shirt and some skinny jeans and changed in front of Mike since the towel incident I didn't care if he saw me naked again. I looked at him and he was asleep I giggled and walked over to the bed. I started straddling his hips, he opened his eyes and smirked. He pulled my chin so my face was closer to his, "You are really beautiful Shy." He said letting me get up. I blushed knowing he has never told me that before. Vic always called me beautiful and darling but Mike has never called me beautiful. He got up and went to my closet picking out a pair of skinny jeans that were way to big for me and a Ozzy Osbourne t-shirt that was also to big for me. He put them on and grabbed my hand, we walked downstairs and put on our Vans.

We walked outside and started our journey to school. When we got there Oli had a kid with a Pantera shirt, skinny jeans, and a beanie over his short straight hair pinned against a wall. I dropped my bag and ran over towards them "Oli get off of him." He dropped the kid who looked at me but stayed. Oli faced me with a pout on his face "but love, I just want to kick his ass." "Oli what the fuck did he do to you? Nothing so leave him the fuck alone before I kick your fucking ass." "I doubt you could even kick my ass, Shy." I lost it, I shoved him against the wall and started punching him. I punched him in his nose and blood splattered everywhere, after that I let go. "Don't fuck with me or my friends, I may have forgave you but just because you quit treating me that way but still treat others that way I never want to talk to you again. Now get the fuck out of here!" I yelled looking him in the eyes, he looked hurt but nodded and walked away.

I looked at the kid, his nose was bleeding and his lip was busted, school wasn't going to start for another 45 minutes so I had time to take him to my house and clean him up. "Come on, we can go to my house and I can clean you up." I said grabbing his hand and having him follow me to my house. The walk was silent, when we got there we walked upstairs to the bathroom connected to my room, he jumped up and sat on the counter. "So you probably have heard but my name is Shy." I said starting a conversation. "My name is Jaime, it is spelt like Jaime but it is pronounced hi-me. By the way thanks for getting him to stop Shy." He said looking down. I lifted his chin up, "You're welcome, he actually used to treat me like that and I forgave him yesterday. I should've known he would still treat people that way but I didn't think about it." I said grabbing the first-aid kit from under the sink. I touched his nose and he winced, I grabbed one of those things from a kit that stops nosebleeds and put it in his nose. I grabbed the instant ice pack and removed the nose bleed thing, I looked at his nose "it doesn't seem broken so it is not as bad as his." I said smirking he laughed. "I can't believe you actually were strong enough to break his nose." He said still amazed. "Well, I have to confess I am mentally ill. I am bipolar and he knows that too so when I lost it, it was do to the fact of my medicine can only keep my feelings from jumping around." I said as I popped the ice pack and started to shake it, as it got cold I held it up to his nose. "Do they care about fighting at our school?" He asked curious."No they don't, they only care when you have drugs,alcohol, or weapons." I said sighing. "Hold onto the ice pack well I look at your lip." He nodded and held it onto his nose. I touched it and he winced. "That'll take a few days to heal but just don't touch it and you should be fine." "How do you know so much about this stuff?" He asked a little concerned. "Oli used to beat me up, but my friend Mike the one who has my backpack taught me to fight so that is why I knew where to punch to break his nose. I also cut." I said that last part quietly but he still heard me. "I don't want to be pushy but can I see?" He asked worried about me. I took off my sweatshirt revealing my arms and my stomach he gasped. I pulled my skinny jeans down far enough for him to see the cuts on my thighs. After he had a good look I pulled up my skinny jeans and put back on my sweatshirt. He jumped off the counter and hugged me, "if you ever, and I mean ever need someone to talk to Shy just call me okay?" He said putting his number in my phone "okay" (TFIOS reference, if you get it I will be you're best friend) we walked back to school with 10 minutes to spare Mike was sitting on the ground looking up at the sky still holding my backpack.

I grabbed my backpack and told Mike I was going to show Jaime around. We went to the office and grabbed his schedule, the lady was nice enough to give us passes to class for after I showed him around. We were walking to class when somebody grabbed my wrist and pulled me into a closet. It was Tony but I couldn't calm down because I knew he was pissed. "You know what, forget anything I said about loving you, you ugly slut. All you do is walk around with other guys after I tell you my fucking feelings. You are such a fat ugly whore and I wished I would've noticed that before. You should just go slit your wrist and die!" He growled at me. I walked out of the closet with tears streaming g down my face I ran to the office and when the attendance lady saw me she said, "I will let your teachers know you left sick honey, I am hope you can get back on your feet soon." I nodded and walked out of the office straight to my house. The attendance lady knew I was bipolar so she would make up an excuse when I needed a break to get back on my feet.

I grabbed my guitar and walked to the forest I climbed my tree and started cutting, my phone kept ringing and buzzing from the texts and call I was getting from people but I ignored them. After I quit cutting I had mores cuts then I did last, all in the same places. I put my sweatshirt back on a climbed down the tree, I walked to the building where me and Tony first bonded and started playing guitar. I soon started singing What A Shame by Shinedown.

Two packs of cigarettes a day
The strongest whiskey
Kentucky can make
That's a recipe to put a vagabond
On his hands and knees
I watched it all up close,
I knew him more than most
I saw a side of him he never showed
Full of sympathy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be

That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?

What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame

There's a hard life for every silver spoon
There's a touch of grey for every shade
Of blue
That's the way that I see life
If there was nothing wrong,
Then there'd be nothing right
And for this working man they say could
Barely stand
There's gotta be a better place to land
Some kind of remedy for a world that
Wouldn't let him be

That's the man he was,
Have you heard enough?

What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame

God forgive the hands that laid you down
They never knew how much a broken heart can break the sound and change the season
Now the leaves are falling faster,
Happily ever after
You gave me hope through your endeavors
And now you will live forever
What a shame, what a shame,
To judge a life that you can't change
The choir sings, the church bells ring
So, won't you give this man his wings?
What a shame to have to beg you to
See we're not all the same
What a shame, what a shame
'Cause we're not all the same
What a shame, what a shame'Cause we're not all the same

I finished and started playing more music. I ended up playing Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah,
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line
Of the edge and where I walk alone

Read between the lines
What's fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs
To know I'm still alive and I walk alone

I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk alone
I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone

Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, aaah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

I walk alone
I walk a...

I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk a...

My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone...

When I finished there was clapping, not from one person but multiple. There were a ton of kids there even my friends were clapping I smiled but didn't know what to say. I climbed up a tree and jumped on the concrete roof of the building. Vic handed me my guitar then some kid with black hair with a red streak in it handed me and electric guitar. He jumped up and had a battery that had an amp plugged into it I looked at him and hugged him. He hugged back and he handed me the guitar plugged into the amp. Then he went back down and managed to get a drum set, and bass up there. Jaime grabbed bass and the kid grabbed some drum sticks and sat at the drums. We all huddled together by the drums "do you guys know I Don't Wanna Stop by Ozzy Osbourne and I Miss You by Blink-182?" "Yup" they said in unison I nodded and walked back to the front. The kid on the drums started the count down for the first song "1..2..1.2.3.4!" And we started playing.

I don't know what they're talking about
I'm making my own decisions
This thing that I found ain't gonna bring me down
I'm like a junkie without an addiction
Mama don't cry I just wanna stay high
I like playing with danger and fear
Everybody's walkin' but nobody's talkin'
It looks a lot better from hereAll my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stopWhy don't they ever listen to me
It's just a one way conversation
Nothing they say is gonna set me free
Don't need no mental masturbation
Too many religions but only one god
I don't need another saviour
Don't try to change my mind
You know I'm one of a kind
Ain't gonna change my bad behaviour
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stopI don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
I don't wanna stop
[SOLO]
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing all I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go 'til I drop
You're either in or in the way, don't make me I don't wanna stop

Afterthe song everybody clapped and cheered then I grabbed the acoustic guitar and we started playing the last song.

(I miss you, I miss you) Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends

(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)

Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)

Don't waste your time on me you're already The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)

(I miss you, I miss you)

(I miss you, I miss you)

(I miss you, I miss you)

(I miss you, I miss you)

Everybody clapped and started cheering for an encore. So we decided on playing 21 Guns by Green Day.

Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away and you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?And you look for a place to hide
?Did someone break your heart inside,you're in ruins
One, 21 GunsLay down your armsGive up the fight
One, 21 GunsThrow up your arms into the sky
You and I ...When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of controlAnd your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass and the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last, you're in ruins
One, 21 GunsLay down your armsGive up the fight
One, 21 GunsThrow up your arms into the sky
You and I ...Did you try to live on your own?
When you burned down the house and home?
Did you stand too close to the fire?
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stoneWhen it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died,you're in ruins
One, 21 GunsLay down your armsGive up the fight
One, 21 GunsThrow up your arms into the sky
One, 21 GunsLay down your armsGive up the fight
One, 21 GunsThrow up your arms into the sky
You and I

I finished and lifted my guitar in the air with a smile on my face. Everyone one cheered and I felt happy for once until I felt the sleeve on my shirt go down and blood was dripping down my arm. Tears started falling down my face.
