~Scarlet’s POV~
-3 Weeks Later-
Me and Austin were officially together now, I haven’t seen my parents since that night, but I was still very cautious. Today was the day we left for the tour. I was kind of nervous, I didn’t know what to expect. Bring Me the Horizon was going too, which was good because then I would have Raven to hang out with. Her and I were packing our things andhelping Austin and Oli with theirs. I was dressed in some shorts and an Of Mice & Men tank top with my purple Vans. The first concert was tonight in LA. Then we would travel to Seattle. I had a friend up there, maybe he would go. The thing being, I’ve never met him before. But he talked about going, well before we stopped talking. He said that he had a meet and greet pass. So I was probably going to see him tomorrow. Oh great.
“Something troubling you love?” Austin said kissing me.
“Oh it’s nothing, just get to see a friend tomorrow when we go to Seattle.” I said smiling and hugging him.
“That’s great! I can always call him backstage after the show.”
“Love you don’t need to do that, but if you’d like.”
I walked back to my bag and checked to see if I had everything. I walked downstairs to make sure and was startled when the rest of BMTH, PTV, and OM&M walked in. I laughed it off and they plopped on the couch. Raven came down the stairs along with Oli and Austin. We loaded up into the three busses that awaited us outside, and we were off. There wasn’t enough bunks so me and Austin had to share one. I was okay with that, he smelt amazing.
The bus stopped and we were at the venue. I got the boxes out from the little storage thing on the back of the bus and began to set up my merch table, Raven was selling Bring Me the Horizon stuff next to my booth. Austin walked up to me and said they were doing meet and greets. I asked Raven to watch my booth and I left with him. I saw a huge group of people. And then I saw this one kid, dark hair, dark skin, dark eyes.
“James! You shit.” I said running up to him.
“Holy fuck Scarlet!” he shouted. I smiled.
“How have you been?”
“Pretty damn good! What are you doing here?”
“The boo’s signing autographs.” I said pointing to his finger. The one with the ‘&’ tattooed on it.
“No way.”
“I told you I’d do it. How’s your girlfriend?” I said, almost about to cry. Don’t cry Scarlet. Don’t.
“Oh Cindy? She’s doing really good.”
“That’s good.”
We talked about how life was, and then we saw Austin. “Hey love.” He said smiling at me. he greeted James, and got kind of mad, well jealous looking when we saw us talking. James hugged me and kissed my cheek, “Keep in touch sweetheart.” He said to me, and walked away. My body cringed and my heart automatically ached. He can’t be doing this to me. Not again.
I literally felt my heart break when he said that. Keep in touch sweetheart. It kept running through my head and it hurt like hell. Him and I haven't talked in months. I looked at Austin and flashed a pain filled smile and walked back to my booth. My body was shaking, I could bairly keep my sanity.
I saw Raven selling a shirt to this girl, "God finally!" she laughed, handing the girl her change. "Are you okay?"
Before I could answer I was greeted by an unpleasent, familiar voice, "Can I get that one please?" He said pointing to the one behind me, "Oh, Scarlet hey."
I smiled weakly at him and got his shirt, I handed it to me and he handed me $30, and I have him $4 back in change. He asked me to go talk to him and Raven told me she would watch my booth. I smiled and followed him to a picnic table and sat down on the table.
"What James?" I hissed at him.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" He replied, touching my hand.
"Don't fucking touch me. And nothing is wrong."
"Nothing? Really? Scarlet I'm not stupid."
"Keep in touch sweetheart." I mimicked him, "Really? It's you who's decided to leave me plenty of time to go and hook up with someone, without even telling me, just fucking leaving me. I mean what the hell James?! Girlfriend or not I'm still your friend. But I don't need you anymore, I have Austin."
"You'd just get jealous."
"No James! I wouldn't! Just leave me the hell alone."
I got upand walked away, back to my booth. I managed to keep myself from crying until the shows were over. I packed everything up and the set crew put it into the back of the bus. I ran into the bus, filled with anger, pain, and rage. I went into the bathroom, and turned on the sink, I took off my phone case and took the blade out. I slashed 18 cuts in my left arm, one for each stupid year I was alive. I must've been crying louder than I thought I was, because Austin started banging on the door and asking me that I was okay.
"Is the rest of the band here?" I asked sobbing.
"Yes." He replied.
"Make them leave, then I'll talk."
"Fine."
I heard them mumble and then it went silent, I made sure no one was there and then opened the door. My eyes were blood shot and my arm was oozing blood. He was speechless. All he could do was hug me and tell me everything was okay. But it wasn't. It wasn't okay. My arm stung, my body hurt, my throat had lump after lump from the snot, I couldn't speak. I just wanted to die. Just fucking die.
I sat in Austin's arms for what felt like forever but what was only a few minutes, I had calmed down and heard my phone buzzing on the counter. Austin picked it up and spoke into it, "Hello?"
"No, she doesn't want to talk to you."
"You made her cry."
"Sorry my ass now leave her alone." and he hung up.
Once I had calmed down Austin set me on the counter top, he took a rag and wet it, he dabbed all of the blood off my arm and kissed every one of my cuts, then he put big Band-Aids on my arm. He smiled and kissed my lips. He picked me up bridal style and carried me to our bunk, he laid me down and pulled the covers over my shivering body.
"Sleep love, it'll help." and then he walked out the door.
