    [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px inset transparent; height: 300px; width: 380px; overflow: auto; cursor: url(http://media.tumblr.com/8b36bd…ine_mpr86h70HK1r6qyth.png), auto;][justify][font=cambria][sup][size=7pt][color=black]without completely pulling away from the embrace, freddie took the beanie off of diamond's head, and brushed enough hair out of the way so he could kiss his forehead. diamond shied away, and puled away from the hug. freddie moved them both so diamond could curl up on his lap without falling off the bed. his head was in the drummer's lap, eyes closed. he sniffled, and rubbed at his nose, letting his hair fall into his eyes again. he smiled faintly at the not-so-long-ago memory of ash trying to help him. he sang to him, and talked to him, and kissed his forehead. and all he did back was nothing. he didn't even let him help him. and his smile faded.


    "it'll be okay, i promise," freddie whispered, brushing the younger's hair with his fingers.


    "i cut myself when i was younger." best to get it out now, right? diamond's stomach did a few weird flips before finally settling down, and he flinched when freddie shot up.


    "what?! and you didn't...?! dammit, diamond!" he, himself, shot up, already trembling from being yelled at. he hated being yelled at. his eyes watered, and he couldn't stop the tears from falling. "i'm... i-i'm sorry." "you didn't tell us this, before?!" "it's in the past, so leave it in the past!" he covered his mouth, eyes wide.


    he just yelled.


    he yelled at freddie.


    his heart pounded in his chest, and he covered his face after seeing freddie's eyes water. he plopped back down on the edge of the bed, scooting back a little so he could pull his legs up. without another word, freddie was gone and out the door. diamond finally let the sobs out, trying to be silent about it. but he just yelled at freddie. he made him cry. he could have just asked him to calm down, and explain to him, but no - he had to yell. he had to let his temper get the better of him. he just ha to yell. he'd been bottling up for so long, but it didn't have to come out now. they were in a hotel - filled with other people! freaking diamond, you moron.


    when he thought back to the singing of ash's, his sobbing fell silent - not completely, but quiet enough so it was almost inaudible. it was like he was right there by his side again, holding his hand. he felt... comforted, with that thought. ash actually cared about him, even though they hardly knew each other at all. he made diamond feel better, oddly enough. his singing and his touch comforted him, and he knew that's what he needed. it's what he wanted. he needed his help. he couldn't possibly yell at ash, and ash didn't seem like he'd yell at him. after thinking about i for a few seconds, his sobbing finally ceased, and he pushed himself off the bed.


    he was a little wobbly, but managed to carry himself over to the bathroom. he stood beside the door, on the side that he wouldn't get hit if it just opened, all the sudden. he lightly knocked on the door, hands shaking not only from weakness and it being a usual quirk, but from nervousness. "n-na?" his voice was quiet and soft, though a bit raspy. he sniffled and rubbed at his nose, not caring what ash would say or think about of him calling him 'na'.


    "i - i promise." he sniffled again, and fiddled with the ends of his sleeves as he leaned against the wall, then slid down so he'd be sitting. he bent his legs and pulled his knees to his chest, then wrapped his arms around his legs. he rested his head on his knees, closing his eyes. "i promise. i swear." his voice began to waver as his eyes fluttered open, watering again. "i'm sorry. i swear." he buried his face in his knees, and his shoulders started to shake.


    boy, he was tired.[/fancypost]

    he couldn't stop the tears from falling, and he let out silent huffs - which were muffled sobs. he couldn't stop anything from happening, and that's what sickened him. he couldn't stop himself from helping anyone, and making things worse. he couldn't stop himself from making himself even uglier and grosser. he couldn't stop the trembling, or the nightmares. he couldn't stop from looking like he was sick - was he? no. his body just had some problems letting him eat and actually digest the food before throwing it up. the high metabolism didn't make things any better. at least he had his family - both blood related and not - and music.


    but he still wanted to die.


    he wanted to go die in a hole.


    he wanted to drop dead, just so suddenly.


    he wanted to stop.


    when he heard the bathroom door open, he flinched, shoulders tensing. he sniffled every few seconds, his sobs almost completely inaudible. and with the way they were muffled from his face being buried, they were even quieter. diamond folded his hands loosely, but they ended up coming undone, and his arms fell to his sides. after only a mere second, his arms were wrapped back around his legs. he quickly fixed his beanie on his head, and pulled it down so it'd be covering his eyes. after, he wrapped his arms back around his legs, and buried his face back into his knees.


    when the other took his hand, he flinched, though kept his head buried. held onto it with his own shaky hand, ever so lightly squeezing ash's back. he shivered, and his hips started to itch. he wiggled a little, though never let go of the other's hand. it comforted him. i guess the skin-to-skin contact always comforted him. his mom and dad would always take his hand when he was upset, and it helped more than you'd think.


    his ever so silent sobbing finally ceased after a few more moments, and he looked up. he pulled his beanie up so it wouldn't be over his eyes, and he rubbed at his eyes with his free hand. then he hung his head, and he sniffled before answering. "do you know where freddie and jason's room is?" his words were stammered a little, his breathing still shaky and ragged. he kept his face down, to where ash could only see the side of it. he sniffled again, rubbing at his nose, then his eyes, and wrapped his arm around his legs. the other was by his side, hand still holding on to ash's.


    he needed to say he was sorry before he blew up.[/fancypost]

    he didn't know? of course he didn't know, why would he? he could already feel the sick feeling in his stomach, but he ignored it. he chewed on the inside of his cheek, and buried his face back in his knees. he just wanted to apologize to everyone for everything. he wanted to apologize for ever existing. he wanted to apologize for wanting to die, for being a little girl, and a selfish brat. he wanted to hurt himself. at the thought, his hips started to itch again, and he scrunched his face up. he shifted a bit, sniffling once more. when he realized why they itched, his eyes started watering again at the little argument he and freddie had.


    he freaking yelled at him.


    he shouldn't have yelled at him. none of this would be happening.


    ash would probably be in his bed, and diamond would end up staying up until everyone else woke up, and throw up again.


    hurrah.


    when the other tightened his grip on his hand, he lifted his head, though it still hung low. he looked at their hands, and smiled the faintest of smiles. he didn't want to let go. just like he never wanted to let go of his parents' hands. he wanted to stay and cuddle up, and be okay. of course, he'd never actually be okay. but to feel like it was really okay would be enough. the thought of drowning just popped into his head, and his shivered just slightly. he took his gaze from their hands, and stared at his knees, which were covered by his saggy grey sweatpants. maybe drowning wouldn't be so bad.


    at the other's voice, his head lifted to look over at him. his smile had faded a long time ago, and he looked down to think for a moment. maybe he could just... say sorry in the morning? he didn't want to let go of his hand - it comforted him more than anyone could ever think. he pursed his lips for only a moment, then hesitantly snuggled up to ash. he rested his head on the other's shoulder, sniffling. his breathing finally calmed, and he closed his eyes. "never mind," he muttered, his voice tired and quiet. he might have been trembling like a chihuahua, but being close to someone felt nice. and it - don't ask him why - only made it better that it was ash.


    a guy he barely knew at all.[/fancypost]

    ash seemed a little tense, but diamond kept his mind off of it. he just wanted to - enjoy? enjoy this moment? being snuggled up in the other's side, head rested on his shoulder, and fingers intertwined made him feel... weird, but in a good way. it made him feel better. he was letting ash fix him - and even though he couldn't be fixed perfectly, and there would still be cracks and dents, he would be okay. he would actually be okay. would he? with the way his stomach felt, he couldn't tell. his mind, instead of being all over the place, had just few ideas. some were bad and some were good - but, oddly enough, most of them were actually pretty wonderful thoughts.


    was it weird that he felt safe, snuggled up to na? was it weird that he liked snuggling up to him, and holding on to his bigger, not bony hand? the pain in his stomach wasn't just pain, but something else. he felt flustered, and he could feel heat rush up to his cheeks. he snuggled closer, face scrunching up just for a brief moment. he was so tired, and he about fell asleep, but he shook the sleep away. wait, why did he do that? that was his chance to get some actual f-cking sleep! maybe it was the nightmares. gosh, they were horrible. he wished they'd just go away, and stay away. for eternity - as long as diamond lived. which would hopefully be more than just two seconds - in which means two years.


    the thought of the nightmares, made him tense, but when he felt an arm wrap around his waist, and pull him closer to na. his shoulders rested, though his faint smile turned into a sad furrowed brows, lips dropping from the smile. it felt comfortable, but he was utterly self-conscious. he stomach turned, and again, in the bad way. his shoulders tensed again, when ash rested his own head on his, then relaxed once more. though the sad expression never left his face, and he continued to tremble like a sick, lost puppy in the rain.


    diamond gathered the courage to wrap his arms around the other's neck, then buried his face in the crook of his neck. he sniffled, feeling something wet dribble down from his eyes. more tears? he let out a shaky breath, trying to calm himself down. his groaned out of tiredness, and aggravation as his stomach grumbled, though inaudible. he snuggled impossibly closer to ash, and didn't even feel ashamed or guilty, or anything. hey, it made him feel a little better - don't judge him. do you really want to see him have another panic attack?


    didn't think so.


    "i'm sorry. i'm so sorry. sorry..." diamond muttered silent 'sorry's' under his breath, warm, salty tears falling from his eyes, down his cheeks, and onto where the other's neck and shoulder met. he couldn't help but say sorry - he said it quite a lot, even if it was sarcastic - which it rarely ever was. he was just that guy who said sorry way too many times. and you know what one of the reasons behind it is? because he thinks he's horrible. plain and simple.


    he thinks he's just plain f-cking horrible, no matter what.


    and he was utterly confused.[/fancypost]

    he took his beanie off, then wrapped both arms back around the other's neck. he let him pet his soft, silky hair, dropping the beanie from his hands. his breath was shaky and ragged, and tears still poured from his eyes, but he felt just alright. na made him feel just alright. snuggled up to someone felt nice, and he'd needed that for a long time. like, actually snuggle up to someone. he might cuddle with the other band members, but it didn't feel the same as now. now was just...


    different.


    in a good way?


    diamond listened to na's soothing voice - it was soothing to him, anyway. he tensed a little when both his arms wrapped around his tiny frame, but settled after a little while. why shouldn't he beat himself up? he's disgustingly skinny, and he's just... ugly. he's a living, walking travesty, to simply put it. he was put on this earth by mistake. and even though his parents love him to death, he knows he's just a big mess - a travesty. it hurt his own feelings to think about it, but he couldn't help it. he could never seem to stop beating himself up. at least it wasn't physically. anymore.


    with that physical beating up thing in mind, he wiggled a little, and gently wiggled out of the other's warm embrace. he instantly felt cold and small again - no pun intended. he kept his head down, letting one leg lie flat on the ground, the other still bent - the one closest to na. he slowly and hesitantly pulled the side of his sweatpants down, just slightly, along with his boxer briefs. just the tiniest bit.


    and there they were.


    god, he felt so gross.


    "that's why we were yelling." his voice wavered a bit, and you could obviously tell he felt like sh-t. he sniffled and wiped at his eyes with his free hand, then after only a few mere seconds, he let both clothing cover them up. he put his hand in his pants, though, - not like that, pervert - and rubbed at the scars. he did the same with the other side, and started itching at them. he furrowed his eyebrows, a mixture of a frown and a sad expression on his face. "i'm... sorry."


    he couldn't help it, okay?


    ugh... we. that's why we were yelling.


    he yelled at on of his closest friends.


    he still couldn't believe it.


    ( omfg, fml. i totally had a way better post, but a freaking pop-up destroyed it! *^*

    middle school was a little better than high school. no one really talked to him, because of what he wore, and because of the nose ring he got when he was only eleven. he had to beg to get it - literally. which was weird, considering he was one of the most quiet kids in the freaking world. he would always sit in the back of any class, drawing on the desk, humming, and looking out the window, daydreaming of what it'd be like to be noticed. in a good way. he'd always keep a faint, sad smile on his face, no matter what. he tried telling himself that the other kids only needed time. but they never did talk to him, unless they needed their homework done for them.


    yeah, he was pretty much a toy. he'd do anything just to be talked to; to feel like he was really alive. but he was always dead on the inside, even with those sad, faint smiles he always put on. when he got home, he'd either go straight to his room, or crying to his parents. the times he went right up to his room, after hugging his mom and dad, he'd get his guitar out and strum a few notes. that's when the songwriting began, and he had this dream of being in a band. his mom and dad always told him his voice was that of an angel's, when he was talking or singing. so why not?


    he was eight, when his dad taught him to play acoustic guitar. he had been singing since he was two, though, but when he turned eleven, he decided he'd only sing in seclusion. he didn't want anyone to hear his voice, because he was scared of what they'd think. and when he got into high school, it only got worse. he started thinking of himself as worthless and ugly, and too gross to be looked out without scrunching your face up. he was always looked down upon - no pun intended, once again - and it made him feel like sh-t. he was so vulnerable, and he'd do anyone's homework just so he wouldn't get beat on, those days. when there was a partner project, he'd do all the work, letting the other hang around with his or her friends and stuff. it only made him feel unwanted. whenever he went home, he was afraid his parents would start drifting away from him, and eventually start to completely ignore him. or get annoyed with him every time he said a single sentence.


    which is the reason for his not talking too much. his voice was always quiet and soft, and it'd stayed that way, all the way up till now. and that was never going to change, because he was still afraid. when he sang, he sang loud - but talking was a whole different thing. he was always worried he'd say the wrong thing, or end up yelling at someone. he afraid that if he talked anymore than he did, and any louder, everyone would get annoyed and push him away.


    and the band would fall apart.


    he'd literally kill himself, then, and he'd go somewhere where no one could stop him.


    though, i guess that never really worked out for him.


    when he snapped out of his thoughts, his gaze instantly met na's back, which had long, rough scars. five. there were five of them, and it made him shiver. he listened closely to his words, tears filling his eyes. but he was so nice and sweet, and so sensitive and... caring. he sniffled and wiped at his eyes, only to have tears fill them again. he scooted a bit closer, his eyes seemingly glued to the other's scars. that was the most horrible thing he'd ever heard and seen. na took it to extremes, and it made him feel bad.


    really bad.


    sure, diamond had his scars, but they were nothing compared to na's. and it made him feel selfish. na had been starving on the streets, then took up prostitution just to get by. that was the worst kind of beating up anyone could take. he might have been beat up, with punches and kicks and horrible words blown at him, but na - holy sh-t. seriously, he just wanted to die. his life might be better, now, but he was tired of all the negative things he thought about. he hated himself too much, and he wished someone would throw him in the ocean, and let him drown. yes, he could swim, but he'd drown himself, anyway. it would be the perfect way ever, because no one could stop him if he was far out into the body of water.


    he wished that asshole would have drowned him.


    diamond couldn't hold back the tears, and crawled over to na. he hesitantly wrapped his shaking arms around him, resting his head just below his shoulder. what? he was just that short. he took both of na's hands, and he sniffled a few times. he just let the tears fall from his tired eyes, which held dark, purple-pink shadows beneath. he sniffled again, and every few moments, and after a few seconds, he finally spoke up in the softest, silent voice.


    "me too, na."


    ( i will not shut my face. nope. c: smiley because; well, because i can. and i feel the need to.
    this whole thing is depressing, dude. it's literally making tears come to my eyes. and i cry. i just... i can't, okay? i can't. </3 )[/fancypost]

    diamond wasn't judging na at all. he wouldn't say he knew what it felt like, because he didn't. he'd be lying, and he didn't like to lie. every time he said he was okay, it killed him a little, inside. and he always sounded so sure of it, too. every time after he had a nightmare, after he purged, he'd say he was okay. even when he definitely wasn't. he knew he wasn't okay, and he never would be, but he couldn't help it. it was a habit that never died, even if it hurt him even more. no matter what he did, he'd always end up hurting himself, which hurt other people around him. and it only made him hurt more that he hurt other people because he hurt himself. he lied too much, even if it was only one thing he lied about. okay, so there might have been two, but the scars didn't count. he didn't even - yeah. he did lie about them. sh-t.


    being around na, though, made him feel a little better, as said before. he felt safe, and even though he felt vulnerable, he felt like no one could hurt him. besides himself, anyway. his heart pounded against his chest as it felt clouded up, but he ignored it. his warm tears stung his soft, porcelain face, but he smiled faintly. all of this just felt right. it felt right to hold his hands, to hug him, to snuggle up against him. it felt right to tell and show him thins he never showed anyone - or told anyone. he hadn't told him anything just yet, but he knew he would. he might have told people he tried killing himself a few times, but he never told them how. and he didn't tell the full story of why. he just said he was bullied, and he couldn't take it. but there was more to it. he never told anyone about his scars - well, until freddie. but he never actually showed them to anyone. not even his parents.


    and na opened up to him, and he felt good about that. it made him feel trusted and welcome, and it made him feel warm inside - like he was actually meant to be here. on this planet. in this universe. living. it was a wonderful feeling, and he'd give anything to keep it. his friendship with na - could he call him a friend? well, even if he wasn't na's friend, na was surely his friend. and he could honestly say, even if they only knew each other for just a little over a day, that na was his best buddy. and it made his heart swell.


    he opened his eyes for a moment when na brought his hands up to his own face, and wiped at his eyes. the smile on his face drooped, and it went back to the same ole sad expression. poor guy. he wished he could really do something to really help him.


    after a few moments, the other spoke, and he opened his eyes. his heart beat faster, and he squeezed na's hands. "yeah? what is it?"


    why did it feel so right? he felt so comfortable around him - he could tell him anything.


    and that's something he'd never felt before.


    it felt good.


    no - it felt wonderful.[/fancypost]

    he was only thirteen, and his mom and dad were going away just for a little while, to go to a funeral. one of their close friends' dad had died, and diamond told them he wasn't ready to go to a funeral. so, they respected that, and got him a babysitter. he might have been thirteen, but he broke down a lot, and they knew they'd need someone to watch over him. he told them he'd be fine, but they insisted on it. they had called a senior from the high school he'd go to in a year, saying he was really nice and sweet, and would help him with anything. the teen finally let it go, and within a week they were gone, leaving him with an eighteen year old, horny teenager.


    diamond was cuddling up to him, watching a movie. it was the third day he'd been there, and things were going great. nothing bad happened, and diamond hadn't purged at all. he was all smiles and laughter, and they even went out a lot. diamond got to know the guy's friends, and they were all really nice to him. they'd playfully push him around, and they'd cause trouble at the mall, or something. they even had lots of the same interests. they loved music, of course, and both of them sang and played guitar - electric and acoustic. they both had a bunch of band posters all over their walls, and the only stores they went to in the mall were hot topic, zumiez, spencers, and journeys. the older was obviously way more outgoing and happier than he was, but that was okay. he finally had a source of light in his life, that wasn't his parents.


    but, on the fourth day, the teen showed his dark side. he said they should go to bed, and diamond complained. he wasn't tired at all, but there were dark circles clear under his eyes. being the sweet guy everyone thought him to be, the older and very much taller male carried him, bridal style, up the stairs and to his room. after putting him on the bed, diamond had sat up, playfully pouting. jason, the babysitter, had only rolled his eyes and turned the light off. then he walked over to the window and closed the curtains, and turned around. he stood there for a second, looking at the adorable, pleading puppy dog face of diamond's. and he snapped.


    the guy rushed over to the bed, and pinned diamond down. he started trailing kisses from his jaw to his neck, and down to his collarbone. a confused diamond just went with it, and his eyes rolled back in his head. but when the other started unzipping his jeans, his eyes popped open. his hands were above his head, wrists held by one of jason's hands. the older whispered in his ear, telling him it'd be okay. telling him he'd make him feel good, that it might hurt a little at first. diamond only gulped, and wiggled a little. but being the skinny * he was, he couldn't do anything, and the other only shushed him as tears made their way down his cheeks.


    jason kissed the tears away, and soon enough, they were both left in only their boxer briefs. ha. another thing they had in common.


    okay, so maybe he wasn't a virgin, exactly. but he liked to think so, and that's what everyone was told. and he wasn't telling this to anyone, any time soon.


    he was snapped out of the horrible memory, which caused him to gag silently. he wanted to take one of his hands and rub at his throat, but he kept them locked with na's. he hadn't noticed he was tapping his fingers, nor the tears trailing down his face once more. he closed his eyes again, trying to keep everything back. he slightly shook his head, grip tightening. "no. it's not," was all he could say without gagging again. he choked back a sob, finally moving from his position. he moved so he was to the side of na, and snuggled up to him. he still held both of the other's hands, refusing to let go.


    he'd just feel even worse, and end up vomiting again. he was too weak to vomit, even though he wouldn't admit it. he'd done it too many times, already, and he didn't know how much more he could take.

    he blinked away ears, then closed his eyes again, tensing a little when na held his hands tighter. his thin fingers felt like they'd break at any moment, and it made his stomach turn. but he didn't do or say anything. he didn't want to ruin anything. he'd just end up puking again, and he honestly didn't think he could take anymore of that. he'd barely be able to keep himself up, so his head hung over the toilet, and his vomit didn't get everywhere. just the thought of it all made him scrunch his face up in disgust - not only because the vomiting, but because of himself. he could picture his tiny figure hunched over, purging as hard as he always did. his bones seemed more defined, especially his collarbone and hips.


    and that brings us back to... that.


    "damn, you're so skinny. for - sh-t..." they both heard something crack, and diamond let out a pained, high-pitched scream. it wasn't like any of the others, and much louder and strained. "f-ck. f-ck, f-ck, f-ck." jason got off of him, and quickly put his boxers on, then slid diamond's on for him. he picked the frail boy up, only to have him cry out in pain, again.


    he was dead weight, easy to carry down the stairs. jason had grabbed both of their clothing, and put diamond's on first, then his. the older carried a sobbing, in-pain introvert to his car, and drove off tot he hospital.


    shattered ribs. three.


    three shattered ribs."


    he shuddered, and tears made their way down his cheeks again. he hadn't noticed anything from reality, in those few moments, but did catch their hands lifting. na was rubbing at his eyes again, and it made the younger furrow his eyebrows for a moment. he felt the need to protect him, all the sudden. he might have been way more girly than anyone else on this tour, but he could still be protective. he might not be strong, and every time he's tried to protect someone, he's failed - but that's the one thing he'd never stop trying at. he wouldn't have anyone getting hurt, in any way, on his watch. he might get hurt, himself, but it was plainly clear that he didn't give a single flying f-ck. he'd rather himself get beat up rather than another person, no matter who they were, or what they've done.


    he was very girly, indeed.


    at the other's voice, he almost gagged, and he didn't know why. he brushed it off, though, and snuggled impossibly closer, though went back to where he was before when realizing his hipbone was probably digging into na's side. he slightly shook his head, opening his eyes to look up at the other. though, he looked right back down, and slipped his hands away from the others, instantly feeling cold. it wasn't his voice that almost made him gag, but the growl that escaped from him. he knew it was nothing - well, it was something, but - never mind.


    diamond, rubbed at his own eyes, and covered his face up out of pure embarrassment, cheeks heating up again. "i won't. i promise," he muttered as he wiped his eyes again. he sat indian style beside the other, then took one of his hands in his, refusing to look up at him. he just couldn't, okay? it seemed almost impossible to look at anyone who wasn't in a crowd below him, these days. he just couldn't.


    then another memory came to mind, and he wanted to snuggle against na again, but he didn't want to jab him with his stupid hipbone.


    nothing was going right, that whole freaking month. school had started only a week after the whole babysitter incident, which no one but him and jason knew of. he just turned fourteen on the first day of his freshman year, and it was already going horrible.


    "ooh, hott-eh." he lifted his head to see one of the seniors - a jock - whistle and snicker along with his friends. he clutched onto his backpack, which he was hugging against his chest. he was smaller than literally anyone here. he was smaller than all the girls, and it was annoying. he hated how there weren't any of those really short girls in this school. it made him feel even tinier and more vulnerable than he already was. he was still recovering from that night, with his stomach aching - pain. his ribs f-cking hurt, and he had to let out a low, pained groan.


    "ugh, i think i might have to go to the bathroom soon. he's just - hngh." another jock and some of his buddies passed by him, and they all winked, then snickered and chuckled. he furrowed his eyebrows, and walked a little faster. but they turned around at seeing this, and the 'leader' pushed him against the lockers by his torso. he let out an embarrassing, high-pitched squeak, which made all of them chuckle. even the people close enough to hear were chuckling and giggling.


    "where do'ya think you're going, without giving me a little greeting kiss?" he teased, getting so close their noses touched. his hands were on his hips, and it was evident that the guy was actually really in to guys. no one seemed to care, either. "mmm, the things i'd do to you," he mumbled, and he nibbled on diamond's earlobe. the younger, and much shorter, teen had dropped his backpack much earlier, and his hands were now on the other's chest, trying to push him away. but his frail body, which held almost no strength at all, wouldn't let that happen.


    he turned his head so, shutting his eyes tightly. "oh, why so quiet, hon? i'd think a pretty face like you would be more... slutty." the last word was hissed into his ear, and he shuddered. where did he even get the thought that he was gay? because he really, truly wasn't. maybe it was all of his feminine features. some people actually mistook him as a girl, or a girl trying to be a boy. f-ck them.


    "sweetheart, i don't bite. too hard." and he still wasn't off of him. the bell rang, and even his friends had gone to class. but they stayed out there. "come on, i know a place where no one could find us. i know you want it, precious." the guy slipped his thumbs into his pants and boxers, and rubbed at his bony hips. "i'll try not to break you." their lips were practically touching, diamond's head forced to look forward. "but i like it rou-" "get off of me!" his tiny yell was just that - tiny. it was more of a squeak, but enough for the guy to push him harder against the cold metal, a growl escaping his lips.


    "don't tell me what to do. you're my b-tch." he put emphasis on 'my', and started gritted his teeth. when the other pressed himself against him, cupping his cheeks, he found the opportunity to break free. he lifted his knee harshly, successfully making the other let him go.


    he was violated once, and he wouldn't tolerate it, anymore.


    not giving up, the guy, whose name was blaine, ran after him with an angered expression. diamond would have slipped into a classroom, but he was grabbed, and his mouth was covered by a hand. only a few moments later, and he was pulled into an empty, gym locker room. he kicked and thrashed around, but none of it helped. he was dead weight.


    he definitely was not a virgin.


    blaine grunted as he set him down, though pressed him against the lockers. "shut up or i will break you. you're gonna take m-"


    he finally let out a whimper, totally subconsciously. when he realized what he did, he wiped away his tears with his free hand. he fiddled with the end of his sleeves, sniffling. he opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. instead he decided he needed to snuggle up to na, and felt bad for his hipbone digging into him. but when he was snuggled against him, no bad memories came to his mind. he still had his bad thoughts, but there were plenty more good ones.


    he was a selfish brat.


    he was so freaking worthless.


    he was a piece of sh-t.


    he couldn't do anything right.


    he should just go drown himself, while he could.


    he should take a razor blade to his sensitive, porcelain skin.


    na was hurting more than him - he was the one who needed fixing.


    he didn't deserve to be fixed.


    he couldn't even be fixed.


    he was a f-cking travesty.


    and beside him was a perfect man who didn't deserve to be hurting.


    yes. perfect. he was utterly perfect.[/fancypost]

    a shiver went up his spine - something wasn't right. he furrowed his eyebrows, sniffling silently. he could feel it - that horrid, nasty feeling. the gross urge to take the cold metal in his hands, and feel the blissful pain shoot through his body. he tried shewing it away, but the urge only to bigger and bigger with every passing second. something was definitely off, and it wasn't just him. which frightened him a great deal. it only made the urge worse, but he eventually shut it out, pushing it to the back of his mind. his focus was more on na, now.


    and then he moved. diamond looked up at na, eyes glittering with sorrow and fright. and when he saw the blood, the urge came back, and his eyes widened. he snuggled closer, shutting his eyes tightly. this wasn't real. this was not real. na was crying, his nose was bleeding, and he seemed so f-cking broken, it made diamond hurt. he wanted to kill himself over and over again, and he'd never stop. no one knew just how badly it effected him to see someone else so hurt. it made him feel like sh-t, because he's here, constantly kneelin down in front of a toilet, hating himself - and other people are struggling with so much worse than he was.


    he hated himself so much.


    then the other started to say something, and he opened his eyes. he looked down at him, then whispered something that made diamond's heart sink. and the other snapped. when his hand left his own, he immediately scooted away, eyes wide. the sight of na raking his face with his own fingernails caused his breathing to hitch, and he closed in on himself. he hugged his knees tightly to his chest, watching the other in horror.


    he just sat there.


    he watched na beat himself up, yelling at nothing.


    and he couldn't take it.


    "na... p-please stop..." tears trailed down his cheeks, and breathing became hard for the younger. he sniffled, and let out a tiny, silent sob. he couldn't yell. and he wouldn't.


    he was worthless. he couldn't do anything. what was he thinking? he can't fix anyone, and no matter how much he was protective over someone, he wasn't strong enough to actually 'save' them from anything, or anyone. all he could do was sit back and watch, and silently plead for everything to stop. his heart rate picked up, and he held his breath. his head swam, and it was like he was underwater again. "stop... please..."


    he held his head, then covered his face with his hands. "please! stop! i can't breathe!" the last part just slipped out, and he covered his mouth when realizing he had just yelled; even if it was a silent squeak. he slowly stood himself up, and stumbled back and fell on the bed. his feet planted on the floor, and his eyes were glued to the sight of na just beating the sh-t out of himself. this was just another nightmare. it was just a really dramatic, realistic nightmare. he'd wake up soon, trembling and shaking, and drowning in coldness instead of sweat. then he'd run to the bathroom and puke his guts out, and the day would go on.


    diamond pinched himself a few times, but it didn't work. it'd been a mere minute of listening and watching na, and he was already up and running to the bathroom. but instead of kneeling down in front of the toilet, he jogged back out. he knew nothing would come out, just yet. it felt horrible, and he almost collapsed, but he didn't. he kept his balance, and is eyes off of the broken image of ash. he quietly crept to the door, covering his mouth. tears streamed down his cheeks, and he silently opened the door.


    he had to. he couldn't take it anymore.


    his head pounded, and his heart beat so fast, he swore it was going to rip right out of his chest. he couldn't breathe, and he felt like he was drowning in icy water. he quickly made his way to an elevator, and pressed the button so many times, it was a wonder it didn't break off. when the doors opened, he stepped in right away. there were two people in there who looked at him like he was crazy, but he only covered his face.


    when one of them touched his shoulder, he shrugged them off. and before they could say anything, he shook his head. "don't. p-please..." and they listened to him, but the other one - a girl who looked to be in her mid-twenties, frowned. "sir, i know you are not alright, so i am not going to ask. i know we don't know each other, but what's wrong?" her voice was soothing and soft, but he only shook his head. when the elevator stopped, and the doors opened, he quickly stepped out. she was about to run after him, but decided it was best to let him go.


    but it wasn't.


    he ran over to the doors, finally sobbing into his hands. the reception lady looked over to him with a frown, and stood from her place. "sir! sir!" but he was already out the doors, and heading to the bus. he stumbled a little, and fell onto his hands and knees. he muttered an 'ow' under his breath before getting back up, and flinched when feeling something cold sting his face. he didn't stop, though, and moved on to the bus. when he finally got there, he swung the door open. thank the heavens everyone was in the hotel.


    diamond felt horrible for leaving na in that state, but he couldn't take it. that guy was right - he couldn't handle na. he couldn't help him, even if he tried. he'd only make things worse, anyway, so what was the point in trying? he clawed at his own face as he stumbled his way over to his bunk. he fell to his knees, and rummaged with shaky hands through his duffel bag. in the front pocket was a small, soft bag. he pulled it out, and then rushed into the bathroom.


    he didn't bother closing the door behind him, and gripped the side of the sink for support. he pulled away, then leaned against it, even if it hurt him a little. he opened the small bag, and took a sharp, metal object from it. he put the bag on the side of the sink, and stripped himself from his saggy sweatpants. even his boxers were becoming a little loose.


    he took in deep, shaky breaths, flinching when he accidentally pricked his finger. he hadn't done it for so long, always telling people to stay strong and sh-t. he gave good advice, but very seldom followed any of them. his hips were already visible, and he didn't hesitate in bringing the cold metal to his sensitive skin, reopening some of the old, pale scars.


    his stomach turned, and he cried, but he let the blood drip, and kept pressing the metal to his sensitive skin. he moved form one hip to the other, one hand gripping the edge of the sink. his whole body trembled, and he shut his eyes tightly. the cold blades welcomed him home, again, and he smiled a faint, shaky smile.


    until he looked at himself in the mirror.


    dead, cold eyes.


    hair falling into his face.


    porcelain skin.


    quivering, pale lips.


    tears streaming down from his red, puffy eyes, and down his slightly red cheeks.


    he was absolutely ugly.


    and he pressed deeper, scrunching his face up, looking at his reflection with anger and hatred. "stupid b-tch. worthless piece of sh-t. you can't do anything right. you left na up there, beating the f-cking sh-t out of himself. and you're standing here, being the selfish little prick you are. you're nothing. you're a mistake - a f-cking travesty. how do you even have any friends? why does your -" he realized he was talking to himself in third person and his frown deepened, as did the cuts.


    "i'm so f-cking stupid. i'm just a prissy little drama queen, letting everything get to me. fake. i'm just fake. i'm a poser. i'm nothing but a piece of scrap metal. i'm dead." he said the last words with venom, twitching every few seconds. "i should be dead." and he whimpered, looking down at the blood.


    oh, god, the blood.


    he dropped the blade and knelt down by the toilet, and started purging again. his bloodied hand gripped his sweatshirt, the other gripping the side of the toilet.


    he'd have to explain this tomorrow.


    or, today. when everyone was up.


    "f-f-cking sh-t...." after a few minutes, he finally finished. he grabbed the mouthwash from next to him. he took a big amount into his mouth and swished it around, then an idea popped into his head. after debating it, he spit it out into the toilet. instead of just taking some in his mouth, swishing it around, and spitting it out, he started gulping it down.


    the pain in his hips became worse, and he winced as he continued to down the mouthwash. his stomach hurt like hell, but he kept gulping it down until it was gone. he panted, dropping the bottle. he flushed and put both lids down, then rested his head on it. he held his stomach with his hands, and tried to stand up. but his legs wouldn't let him.


    he fell from the toilet and curled up on the floor, wrecked sobs escaping from him. he felt like he'd puke again, but nothing came out. his deep, new scars bled, and were left untended as his body shook.


    "s-selfish... b-tch..."

    he flinched when hearing someone come inside the bus. he didn't move, though, too weak to even sit up. when the footsteps walked away and out of the bus, and shakily crawled to the door. he reached up to the door handle, barely reaching it, and pushed the door open. he fell onto his stomach, making him grunt. his tired, cold eyes traveled around the perimeter, then his gaze spotted something near him. it was a piece of paper, with neat handwriting on it. he sniffled, picking the note up with a bloodied hand. as he read it in his quiet, strained and wavering voice, he started to sob again.


    "almaz. i am s-so sorry. i-i did not mean t-to fall ap-apart. i..." he had to take a moment to let out a few silent cries, his heart beginning to turn sharp in his chest - like a cold, metal blade.
    "i think it w-would be better if i left. i was a f-fool for thinking i... i could fix anything. i am not one to... to go b-back on my..." his breathing became short, and is eyelids drooped a little. but he needed to read the rest of it. he had to. so he kept going.
    "promises... ow... but i c-can't h-help you." and he couldn't read any more of it. he crumpled the piece of paper up, and threw it across from where he lay, finding the sudden strength he needed to do so. he pushed himself into a sitting position, sitting on his knees. "no! i don't c-care!"


    diamond knew it was all his fault. he got scared and ran out like the little b-tch he was. he crawled back into the bathroom, and took hold of the blade again. without hesitation, he ran the cold metal along his left wrist, and up his arm till he got to his elbow, where his sleeve was rolled up to. the cuts were pretty deep, but for the sake of his friends and family, not too deep. he didn't have the strength - plus, his left hand was way too shaky - to do the same to his other arm, so he just squeezed the blade in his right hand. he had to pull it out of his skin, making a nice cut on his hand. he dropped the blade and stood himself up, using the walls for support. he sniffled a she shuffled along in only his boxer briefs and horridly over sized hoodie, both having a few blood stains. he kept shuffling until he got to the door, his head swimming more than it ever had before. but he kept going, and he wouldn't stop till he found na. he knew damn well they both needed each other, even if they had only just met. they could help each other. there was just something right when they were near each other. he could feel it.


    he stumbled down the stairs, eventually falling to his hands and knees, then flat on his stomach since he couldn't hold himself up. but he picked himself back up, only to fall back down. so he started to crawl, hoping no one could see him. he cried a she crawled, vision becoming even blurrier with each passing moment. he could spot na, though, sitting under a tree. he was only a blurry silhouette, but he'd know that gentle giant, anywhere. he slowly crawled his way over, though it took some time, considering there was a pretty good distance between the two. and the fact that diamond fell flat on the ground every five seconds.


    "n-na?" he sniffled, and he finally fell flat on his stomach at na's feet, letting out a tired huff of relief. "p-please... don't leave..." his voice was barely audible, and strained - but it still held a certain softness and sweetness to it. he rested his head on the ground, and closed his eyes. he was so tired, and he hurt all over. his head swam too much, and he just really needed to go to sleep. everything would be okay. and he kept that thought in his head, no matter how many bad thoughts kept cramming themselves in.


    "please..."

    ***it wasn't only the fact he was hurting, but the trembling was caused by how f-cking cold he was. it wasn't even that cold out, but hell; who knew not wearing any pants could make you so cold? well, i guess it was only him, really. he got cold so easily, and it just wasn't even funny. whenever he trembled this much, because he was cold, the guys would all cuddle up to him, and they'd watch a movie. it kept him from purging, and he was thankful for that.


    ***the thought of the his band mates only made him cry harder, flinching when he was scooped up into someone's arms. he knew instantly that it was na, and it made him feel safe to be against him, again. he clutched onto the other's shirt, burying his face into his chest as he sobbed harder than he ever had before. he had yelled twice, today, and it made him feel even more horrible than he already felt, on the inside. it made his heart hurt, but he shewed the thought away. he was in na's arms, now. he was comfortable, and safe.


    ***he was in na's arms.


    ***his trembling had gone down a little, cuddling closer to the other. when he kissed the top of ear ear, he flashed a faint smile, though it drooped back down only a millisecond later. he felt warm pressed against na, and he wondered why the older even talked to him, in the first place. i mean, his face. and his body. he was utterly disgusting, and no one deserved to have him as a friend - and i mean that as in no one should have to go through the nightmare that is diamond.


    ***damn those horrible thoughts. they could go f-ck themselves, right now. diamond finally found his source of light, and nothing was going to burn that candle out. not again. he needed na, and na needed him - that was for sure. they desperately needed each other. and he knew that if they ever got separated, they'd end up killing themselves. the note na left him lead him to believe that na wanted to end it all, and he wouldn't let that happen. diamond might hurt himself, now, but he wasn't going to let na do that. not again. he was going to be strong for him. maybe not too strong, but strong enough to help him get through whatever it was he needed to get through.


    ***he was determined. and when he was this determined, he'd never give up till he dropped dead. like writing music - he never gave up on that. he wrote something he didn't like he started over. he didn't just stop because he got aggravated. he kept going. he kept trying. and that's how he'd help na, even if he sucked at helping people. he'd be better at it now, he knew it.


    ***when the other spoke, he let out a particularly big sob, snuggling impossibly closer against his chest. he felt like he'd pass out, and he knew exactly why. but he tried his best to stay awake, not wanting to seem too weak. he hated it when people saw him like this, but it didn't seem that way around this gentle giant. he felt safer to express himself around him.


    ***he didn't have pants on. sh-t. f-ck. dammit.


    ***he might have felt safe to express himself, but he sure in hell did not like showing his bare skin. and much less touched it. and did na even care that he was getting diamond's blood all over him? like, seriously.

    ***when na began petting is hair again, his shoulders tensed. though it was only for a brief moment, and he loved how he was so gentle. it would be surprising to most, he guess, with the way ash looked so intimidating - but diamond didn't judge people by their cover. he would always have to know the story, before judging someone. i shouldn't say judge, because he doesn't really judge, at all. he just... there were no words for it. it was kind of confusing, to him.


    ***when the other asked that question, more tears started to flood. only one sob escaped his lips, and he clutched on tighter to ash's shirt, his eyes shut tightly. it only made his body tremble more - the trembling had died down a little, before. but the second question made him smile faintly, but it was soon replaced by a sad expression when he remembered the first question. damn. he never thought he'd ask that - he was really hoping he wouldn't.


    ***"i... i g-guess i didn't have the, erm, s-strength to put them on? and i was just... trying to... get to y-you faster..." he decided he'd ignore the first question, not really wanting to talk about it - not even to ash. that was the only thing he didn't feel comfortable talking about, to anyone. it was one of his most sensitive spots, and if someone kept pushing at it, he'd finally break, never to be put back together, again.


    ***god, everything hurt so much. f-ck.

    [size=37pt]TRIGGER WARNING[/size]



    [size=33pt]victor vincent fuentes[/size]


    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px transparent solid; width: 450px; cursor: url(http://media.tumblr.com/c9ddec…ine_mpqqvlOedj1r6qyth.png), auto;][justify][font=georgia][size=8][sup]120.76


    125.3


    116.34


    117.90


    103.8


    105.7


    no matter how hard he tried, he'd always be a fatty. he felt as if he weren't good enough for him. he wanted to be perfect for him, even if it meant not eating. he was getting restless, but he kept at it. he had to be perfect for him, or he'd leave him. vic wouldn't be able to handle it.


    113


    120.9


    135.42


    140


    155.3


    he kept gaining weight, with the help of his brother and the other band members. they helped him through it all, but it all went downhill, once more. after months of recovery, vic started having those same thoughts. he'd been with him for so long, and everyone kept telling them how perfect they were, together. but he knew he wasn't good enough for him. he needed to be perfect, or else he'd leave him in the dust. and he'd break down.


    it'd been a while since he'd last weighed himself. he'd been eating so much better, and even pigged out, sometimes. he'd always have this bright smile on his face, and his eyes would sparkle. he wouldn't hide his face or cry because of his own thoughts. he would drink around with his buddies - and his special someone. they'd all have fun together, and it'd all be laughs and playful wrestling.


    but one day, after three months of being 'clean', he broke. he snapped. he hadn't seen his love for a few days, and it hurt him.


    was he not good enough? did he not love him anymore?


    with so many negative thoughts roaming around in his mind, he fell into a deep state of depression, and he would go for days without eating a single thing. his once muscly arms turned weak, with hardly any muscle left. sometimes, he could barely stand on his two, girly legs. in the morning, he'd always end up purging - no, not on purpose. it just happened. and he let it happen. everyone found out a few days after he started up again, and they all tried to help him. but he shewed them away, and he closed in on himself. he rarely smiled, anymore. he rarely laughed, chuckled, or giggled that adorable giggle of his, which always made his cheeks heat up. he hid his face more often than he showed it, and barely talked to anyone. his voice was always a whisper, and nothing else.


    onstage, his energy just wasn't the same. but he still put on a smile, and got through it. no fans had their suspicions, and it was a huge relief.


    and after a few more weeks, he'd started scarring himself, again. it'd been so freaking long, and the urge just hit him in the face, one morning, while he was hunching over the toilet. and he couldn't hold it back for more than ten seconds.


    126.43


    112.9


    106.2


    finally, he reached the point where he passed out on the bathroom floor. everyone else was out at a party, having told vic to get some rest. he hadn't slept for a very long time. when he woke up, tony and jaime were hovering above him, mike grabbing his cellphone from his pocket. vic persuaded them not to call 911, thank the heavens, by promising them he'd get better. and he did, for a short while.


    115.04


    123.15


    130.08


    but then he got worse again, continuing with both forms of self harm. absolutely no one knew about his fresh scars, since he always wore an over sized hoodie, but they definitely had their suspicions.


    120.03


    112.12


    104.7


    it got to the point where you could easily count his ribs, though he never showed anyone his torso. he never wore shorts, and always got dressed and undressed where no one could see him. he slept in baggy sweatpants and an over sized hoodie, even when it was horribly hot. he'd always wake up sweating to death, and dizzy enough to where he had to take a water bottle to bed with him, every night.


    he hadn't seen him for around a month, now, and it was slowly killing him.


    literally.


    and not only was he a horrible lover, but the worst big brother in the freaking universe. sure, they were apart by only two years, but he was still the older one. and he might be the shortest damn person on this universe, and mike a f-cking skyscraper, but he was still the older one. he was supposed to be the strong, big brother. mike wasn't supposed to be the one worrying so much and picking vic up when he fell. vic was supposed to always be the one who was strong enough to protect his younger brother, but he was too weak. even when he yelled, it was only a mere squeak.


    victor vincent fuentes was the worst lover and older brother.


    ever.


    * * *


    "vic! wake up! come on, man!" the oldest grunted, curling in a tight, sweaty ball. his hair stuck to his face, and he pulled the beanie he had forgotten to take off over his eyes. he had gotten a few hours of sleep last night, but he was still exhausted. when tony crawled into the bunk with him, after opening the curtains, vic groaned and turned his back to him. the younger cuddled into vic, wrapping his arms around his utterly skinny waist. "pwease?"


    when tony took his beanie off, and hopped down from the bunk, vic groaned again, turning over. "no... give it back." his voice was weak, and tony could barely hear it. mike and jaime were outside, chatting away. and tony just ran out to them, and gave one of them vic's beanie. vic never went anywhere without his beanie. ever.


    "well then get your ass up and come give your little brother some sugar!" mike yelled inside, making them all but vic laugh a little. he buried his head in the pillow, grunting silently. he really didn't want to get up. he was feeling a little better, since he'd gotten some sleep, but he just always sought the reason why he had to get up. why couldn't he just lay in the bunk forever? it was actually quite comfortable to him, though lying on the cold, hard ground was comfortable - to him.


    after a few minutes, he heard the other three shuffling inside. he scooted closer to the wall, back facing the open part of the bunk. he felt fingers poke at his stomach, and he couldn't keep in the laughs and giggles. "stop it... jaime!" he squealed when he was pulled out of his bunk, and into someone's arms. he covered his eyes with his hands, playfully pouting. then mike took him, and handed him over to tony. he only grunted again, and snuggled into tony's chest, nuzzling his face in the crook of the other's neck. just because he was depressed didn't mean he wasn't adorable as f-ck.


    they all awed at him, but he ignored it. he just wanted to sleep. tony chuckled lightly and set him down on the couch, but fell onto vic when the oldest wouldn't let go. vic turned them over so he was on top, and cuddled into tony, making the other groan in playful annoyance. "dude, i have to pee." twenty-nine year old vic just let out a huff and a silent hum, but squealed when mike picked him up and off of tony. the tattooed man quickly jogged to the bathroom, and vic weakly swatted at mike's face. "i'm tired," he complained, closing his eyes and sticking his bottom lip back out. "aw, poor baby." mike put him down on his feet, and vic rubbed at his eyes, then opened them.


    the looks he received from the two that were still in the room made his faint smile droop, and he looked down. he knew what those looks meant, and it hurt him. he looked sicker than he did yesterday, but less than tomorrow. hurrah.


    "dude, you really need to eat something." jaime poked at vic's stomach, and it made his eyes water. he hung his head, snatched the beanie from mike's hands. "i'm not hungry." and just then, because mother nature f-cking hated him, his stomach made a loud grumble. when he looked up, only with his eyes, he sighed silently at the worried, concerned expressions on the other's faces. he only shook his head, and put the beanie back on. as he fixed it, letting his hair fall into his eyes, he started walking out of the bus. he was still sweating, since it was fairly hot, especially outside. plus, he had a horrific nightmare, last night, and just the thought of it made him shiver.


    before he could step out, tony ran in and wrapped his arms around his waist, kissing the top of his covered head. then he leaned down to whisper in his ear, making vic's shoulders tense a little. "three words: sleeping with sirens. oh, and two more: justin. hills." vic's eyes brightened, and for the first time in over three months, he smiled a bright, genuine smile. he perked up, spinning around. "really?!" they all smiled at him, his happiness contagious.


    they all shook their heads, and vic's smile faded. "duh. did you forget? we're touring with them, and the tour starts in just a few days," mike spoke up, crossing his arms over his chest. vic's bright smile came back, and he squealed like a little girl. he jumped on tony, and the other let out an 'oomph', then chuckled lightly. "jeez-us, calm down, kiddo." any other day, he would have told him not to call him that, but he was too overjoyed. he would finally see him - the love of his life.


    but one thing stuck in his mind - what would be his reaction when he saw he had picked up his bad habits again? justin told him he was beautiful, and that he was perfect enough for him, when they talked over the phone. vic started believing him, knowing he could trust that lovely dickhead. he could be such an ass to everyone, but to vic he was a whole different person. to put it simply, justin treated vic like he was his princess, and he was his prince. if you couldn't already tell, vic was the girl, in the relationship - the 'juliet', if you will.


    his smile didn't droop, too happy that he'd finally gt to see him again. tony didn't bother pushing him off, and instead just held him. vic nuzzled his face into the crook of his neck, making all of them roll their eyes. if everyone didn't know better, they'd think the two were dating. tony was the one, oddly enough, vic always went to when he was too frightened or upset to call justin. tony was his turtle. his turtle.


    vic's stomach growled again, and the three others' eyes widened at what they'd never think vic would say, ever again. "we should go get some breakfast. or, i mean, lunch. i'm starving." "yeah, no f-cking sh-t," they all mumbled, and mike and jaime went off to get ready. tony sighed dramatically, looking around when vic still clung on to him like a koala. "um... we kinda have to, you know. get ready."


    * * *


    it'd been two whole days, and he was so anxious, he'd ended up vomiting a few times, each day. this was the third day, and he was currently weighing himself, chewing nervously on his fingernails.


    107.13


    his eyebrows furrowed to form a sad expression, and he wrapped his arms around himself. he did eat a lot yesterday, surprisingly, and he knew the other three would be happy he'd gained some weight, even if it was only by two pounds and forty-three ounces. it was enough for them to be at least a little happy.


    it was finally five in the morning, and he plopped down on the sofa. he let himself sink in, and ended up curling into a ball, head on a pillow he'd put there not too long ago. he had been awake since, well, when he tried falling asleep. he didn't get any sleep at all, thinking about holding his hand again, feeling the warmth he missed all too much. the thought made a small, but genuine smile creep up to his lips, and he closed his eyes. he eventually fell into a light sleep, silently snoring.


    he woke up to the smell of bacon, eggs, and pancakes, and he smiled tiredly. he looked to the clock on the oven, but didn't make any sound. he could hear the others chatting away, and he pretended to be sleeping when their heads turned to look at him. he could feel their smiles burn holes in his back, and he shivered. and only seconds after he did, he heard footsteps getting closer and closer, till they finally stopped by him. his eyes fluttered open, and giggled when mike poked at his stomach. he immediately covered his mouth, eyes flashing over to jaime and tony, who were chuckling lightly. "god, i missed my big bro's adorable little giggles." mike took vic's beanie off, and ruffled his hair gently, then patted him on the shoulder. "come on, tony made breakfast. his voice was softer than usual, and it kind of scared vic. but he got up, rubbing at his eyes as he practically stumbled his way over to the kitchen. he tripped over his own feet, and started falling, but jaime caught him before his face could hit the floor. "thanks," he mumbled, rubbing at the back of his neck as a light blush came to his cheeks. they all stuck out their bottom lips and awed at him, making him roll his eyes.


    "you seem more upbeat than usual," jaime blurted, his mouth stuffed with food. vic just shrugged his shoulders, pouring himself some orange juice. "just a little excited." "ha! a little?" tony questioned, though it wasn't meant to be answered. vic gave him a playful glare, not able to keep a straight face. "yes, a little." tony put his hands up in surrender, then started munching on his food again. "sit. i'll get you-" vic interrupted mike, giving him an actual glare. "i'm not a f-cking baby, mike." all of their eyes widened, and it went silent. when vic realized what he'd done, he hung his head in shame and embarrassment, cheeks burning. "sorry..." then all was good again, and they all just ended up laughing about it.


    * * *


    day number four, and he'd fallen again. he hadn't eaten a thing, and it was already four in the afternoon. he just stayed cuddled up on the bed, watching movies all day. his face was tear stained, and his hips throbbed. he'd done it again. the others were conversing in their room, which was right across from his, and he couldn't help but pull out his phone. the first person on his contact list was him. justin hills. he chewed on his lip, eyes watering. he needed his warm embrace before he slipped back into that deep, dark pit again. he was debating on whether or not to call him, but he decided not to, putting the phone back on the nightstand beside his bed. oh, right - they were in a hotel, at the moment.


    sleeping with sirens would be coming over to the hotel tomorrow, and both bands would stay in the hotel for three nights, four days, then hit the road. thank the heavens they still had a few more days. vic was feeling particularly sh-tty, this cloudy, rainy day. his head hurt, and swam at the same time, and his stomach ached. he slowly pushed himself up, nervously chewing on his lower lip. he had sneaked in his 'weigher' as jaime called it, even though it wasn't even a word.


    vic's stomach turned as he stepped on it, toes curling as the little arrow sprung forward.


    103.21


    sh-t. he couldn't tell the guys. they'd kill him, for sure. he was the skinniest he's ever been, and he'd be screwed if he told the guys. his ungodly low weight would make them freak the f-ck out. the last time he dropped down to 103, the guys ended up so pissed they all had to take a breather - and a long one, just so they didn't end up yelling at vic.


    and last time he was that skinny, justin freaked, too. he'd ended up driving over - since he was on break - and staying with him till he had to go on another tour. he literally wouldn't even let vic pee in peace. silly, silly justin.


    * * *


    vic didn't get any sleep, too anxious for this day. it was finally the fifth day, and sleeping with sirens - justin - would be coming to the hotel. he was pacing around his room, which, thankfully, had only one bed. the other guys all shared a room, mike and tony sharing a bed. no, they weren't dating, or anything. but both jaime and vic knew they were hiding their feelings for each other. i mean, you could just see it in the way they looked at each other, and the way tony would blush so much around mike. it was really adorable, actually. even mike blushed, at times, which rarely ever happened.


    vic and kellin were only mere friends. sure, they might look at each other with those gazes and all, but they were only friends. plus, kellin had a wife and a kid, so why the hell would he have feelings for vic? vic sure used to have feelings for kellin, but they slowly went away when they were all out at some bar, and drunk off their asses - besides vic. because he just felt really, really sh-tty that night. justin came over to him - who, surprisingly, wasn't very drunk. he was the least drunk out of all those idiots, who were on the dance floor, flirting with girls. except for mike and tony. pfft, they were practically grinding against each other. yeah, they totally didn't have feelings for each other.


    anyway, justin had come up to him, and sat down next to him. oh, flashback. a wonderful flashback.


    justin came over to vic, plopping down on a stool beside him. vic was swirling his finger in the nice, cool shot he had in front of him. it was slowly getting warm, since it'd been in front of him for almost ten minutes. his facial expression was tired, but most of all, hurt. it was a month or two after kellin got married, and he was really hurt. his heart ached something great.


    his elbow was propped up on the table, and his head rested in his palm to support his neck. he was slouching a little, huffing out when he felt a hand on his shoulder, shaking him only slightly, gently. "hey, what's wrong, princess?" vic rolled his eyes and shook his head, feeling his stomach flip, and his heart flutter. what the f-ck? what the actual f-ck?


    the older looked over to the younger, but taller male - even if by only two inches - with an almost annoyed expression on his face. it was obviously fake. "nothing, okay? i just... i'm fine." the last two words were almost inaudible, and justin's face drooped from a smile to a frown. he wrapped his arms around vic's waist, and nuzzled his face into the crook of his neck. vic just sighed, and rested his head on top of justin's. "liar." his voice was muffled by vic's neck, and vic rolled his eyes. "am not..." "mhmmm." justin placed a kiss on the shorter man's neck, and he hummed against it, making vic smile a little. they both felt shivers run up and down their spines, but only vic actually shivered.


    "stop i-" he was cut off when soft lips met his, and his eyes opened wide. then a hand took his, and gently squeezed it. he slowly gave in, and put his arms around the taller's neck. justin pulled vic closer until the shorter was sitting on his lap, legs on either side of him to make it more comfortable. their lips moved in perfect sync, and their heart beats were rapid and fluttering. justin's arms had snaked their way around vic's waist - which wasn't as skinny, at the time - and when they pulled away from the kiss, they didn't move from their positions.


    "i... didn't know you were, um, into guys." the blush on his cheeks was evident, and not-so-drunk justin chuckled, pecking his lips. "pfft, i thought it was pretty obvious. and so did kellin, jack, and gabe. gabe's into dudes, too." "ha. everyone knows gabe is a flaming homo." they both laughed a little, then justin pressed their foreheads together, pulling vic closer. "you know... you're really beautiful." vic's cheeks flushed, and his head turned away. he bit on his lower lip, shaking his head as it hung. "no i'm not..."


    that made justin frown. he kept one arm wrapped around vic's waist, and the other brought his hand up to gently take his chin. he lifted vic's head so he could look into his eyes, not able to keep a straight face. he was just so cute. "yes you are. don't ever doubt it. now dance with me, my lovely juliet!" vic raised an eyebrow, and yelped when justin stood up with him clutching onto him like a koala. once he was back on his feet, justin put his hands on his hips, and pulled him close. he leaned down by his ear, and whispered something, making vic giggle. and then eyes widened when he realized he wasn't joking.


    "be mine...?"


    * * *


    vic was lying in the comfortable bed, his face buried in a pillow, and drifting off into sleep when he heard obnoxious knocks on the door. he furrowed his eyebrows and groaned, and reluctantly got up. he shuffled to the door, and opened it, finding three very, utterly happy guys standing outside of it. "what?" his voice was a bit raspy, but still held a soft, gentle sweetness to it. he rubbed at his eyes as they all looked at each, their smiles gone. though when vic looked back at them with tired eyes, they smiled again.


    "they're here!"


    okay, yes, vic was excited, but why were they? oh, yeah - they just wanted to see vic happy, again. they wanted to see him healthy, again. they wanted their old victor vincet fuentes back.


    "you're not just pulling my balls, are you? because if you are, i swear to the high heavens that i will give you each a f-cking black eye." he was in a bad mood, okay? and when he was in a bad mood, he was obviously kind of grumpy, and very sassy. no one liked to mess with a sassy, grumpy vic. the outcome wouldn't come out so great - at all.


    they all shook their heads, and tony gently grabbed his arm to pull him out of the room. even though he was happy they were finally here, he was still really tired. he groaned, but let them lead him down the flights of stairs, his grey sweatpants sagging. sh-t. at least he had on a big ass hoodie - it was big on him, anyway. like, really f-cking big. so it covered his hips, and even his upper thighs. yeah, it was pretty long, too. but he liked it - it was super comfy, and made him feel a little protected against most of society's thoughts on self-harm.


    his bare feet barely made any noise as they lead him out the doors of the hotel, and into the parking lot. when tony finally let go of him, he rubbed at that arm, furrowing his eyebrows. "you look a little skinnier, are you okay?" jaime whispered over to him, his face showing he was full of concern. the others looked at him, too, and he rolled his eyes. "yes, i'm fine. i actually gained a few pounds." man, he hated lying, but he had to. he'd have to put on a couple pounds just so he really wasn't lying, because he'd eventually give in and tell them. the looks they gave him told him they weren't so sure he was telling the truth, but he shook his head and rolled his eyes again.


    then he spotted justin, and he smiled, pearly white teeth showing. they were all out of the van they came in - since they'd be sharing a bus, for whatever reason - and getting their stuff.


    "justin!"


    god, why did his voice sound so weak?

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px transparent solid; width: 500px; cursor: url(http://media.tumblr.com/c9ddec…ine_mpqqvlOedj1r6qyth.png), auto;][align=center][font=times new roman][size=8]i grunted, crossing my my legs so i'd be sitting indian style again. i leaned forward, wiggling a bit. i sucked at drawing hands, and feet when they were bare. as always, cyr tells me i'm a 'freaking boss' at it, since he can only draw a 'freaking stick figure thing'. i would have rolled my eyes at the thought, by my hand twitched, and my eyes practically popped out of my skull when i ruined the girl's head. dammit! i pursed my lips, closing my eyes as i gripped the pen tightly. i guess i just wasn't in the best mood, right now. i mean, it was just a sketch! i could redo it, and possibly even better!


    but i still got angry, and i could feel heat rush to my cheeks. it wasn't because i was mad, but because... i was mad? i mean, i just didn't like being mad, and for some reason, i got all flustered about it. at least no one was looking at me, right? i let out an aggravated, tired sigh, and pinched the bridge of my nose. i continued to click the pen, chewing on my lower lip. i closed my eyes, and after a moment, opened them back up to flip to the next page. i had a few lyrics that just happened to come to mind. i started jotting them down, still lost in that little world of mine. i had no clue what anyone was saying or doing, and i honestly couldn't care less, at the moment.


    you sit on the bar stool
    with a lemon in your drink
    and sadness in your heart
    something and someone
    who never leaves in part


    there's an empty clock to your right
    staring seems inevitable
    turning your head's not impossible
    but you're trying to hold on


    it made sense to me. and jeesh, my handwriting sucked. i mean, people could read it, but it was horrible. my mom and dad used to tell me i had the best handwriting, but i guess it just got worse and worse over the years. i wrote a lot, and my hand hurt all the time, so i guess i got into the habit of writing fast. my hands shook a lot, so that was probably the big reason why my handwriting was awful.


    i tapped the pen on the page, and flinched when feeling a hand wrap around my wrist. ouch. no, seriously - it was my bad wrist. i scrunched my face up, and when the hand left, i rubbed at it. "jeez, trying to cut my blood circulation?" cyr rolled his eyes, looking over at me with raised eyebrows. "i didn't even - never mind." he shook his head, knowing exactly why it had hurt so much. i just made a perfect question to cover up the truth. i was pretty good at covering up the truth, if i do say so myself.


    cyr and damon started rambling again, and my gaze traveled over to a starstruck leo. i couldn't keep a straight face, and smirked a small smirk. i had to swallow a laugh, shaking my head a little. it was adorable, really. i used to have the biggest crush on cyr, too, but i quickly got over him. i mean, who wouldn't like him? he was sweet, caring, funny, and a good kind of crazy. he was just a lovable character, you know?


    then my eyes went over to demi, and i gave him a smile, just trying to be friendly. it turned shy, and i sort of hope he hadn't noticed. i looked back down, and put the pen down. i started fiddling my thumbs, chewing on the inside of my cheek. when the urge hit me in the face, i shivered again. it made my stomach turn, but i tried ignoring it. i had it in a pocket of my hoodie, but i couldn't do that here. not now.


    ( pfft, it's fine. c: OMFG YEZ!!! i have a few ideas for songs written down, and only one song completed. i have yet to learn how to play some instruments, but, eh, you know - i'm getting there. one of my friends moved all the way to texas... so... yeah. poo. :c awesomeness. d: )

    [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px inset transparent; height: 300px; width: 380px; overflow: auto; cursor: url(http://media.tumblr.com/8b36bd…ine_mpr86h70HK1r6qyth.png), auto;][justify][sup][size=7pt][color=black]***he couldn't control the tiny sobs and sniffles that escaped, anymore. he'd tried, but he failed. now that he thought about it, he failed at a lot of things. he failed at trying to help people, trying to make things better, trying to make people smile - people might smile at him, and be amused, but sometimes, he thinks it's all fake. like, they're just trying not to make him feel bad. of course, that wasn't the case, but diamond's a very pessimistic person, if you haven't already guessed. he always thinks of the bad things, first, and sometimes, he never gets to the good things.


    ***you know, he used to have muscle. girls practically drooled over him, once he got out of high school, and played music on the streets. but that quickly faded, and he barely had any muscle left. what'd you expect? just because he plays guitar, doesn't mean he has muscle. he has a little, obviously, because of it, but it's not like playing guitar is a sport, or some type of real work out. it didn't really matter, anymore - it never did matter. it didn't seem like anyone in high school cared that he had pretty good muscles - oh, his biceps. there were a few girls - outcasts and nerds, who got bullied a little, too - who would always blush when he smiled at them. not that he cared, or anything. they were nice and all, but they never talked to him.


    ***he flinched slightly at the sound of a voice - ash's. his heart had sped up, more than it already was, but went back down when realizing it was only him. he wouldn't hurt him? diamond knew that! maybe? i mean, he felt super comfortable around na, but he still had his doubts. he never had a good experience when people he barely knew touched him - or anyone, really. so there was always this thought in his mind that when anyone touched him, they would possibly hurt him. he even flinched when any of his family touched him, including his band mates. it was something he couldn't help. that's why he didn't high-five, or fist bump, or whatever. he just gave a small, shy smile, then went on his way. though, he did hug fans at meet & greets. those were the only times he didn't flinch, because he was the one giving out the hug. it was complicated, but at the same not, not really.


    ***god, he was confusing himself again. he got confused so easily.


    ***his grip on na's shirt loosened as he got a little weaker, and his sobs finally ceased. tears still made their way down his cheeks, and his breathing was shaky and ragged, but no more gut-wrecking sobs. he gulped silently, sniffling every few moments, eyelids heavy as he opened them up. they only went up halfway, but closed after only a few seconds. when his eyes were open, everything hurt a little more, and his head swam just a little more. so he decided to just keep them closed, letting out a squeak when a shiver went up his spine, a light breeze blowing their way. he hated the sounds of na's wincing, but didn't say anything. he kind of couldn't, anyway. but he spoke up, anyway.


    ***"i don't... i-i... i don't want... to do th-this 'life' thing, anymore..." his voice was strained and shaky, full of hurt and sadness, and nothing else.


    ***oh, f-ck. how was he going to explain this to the guys? freddie surely told them about the whole 'cutting' deal, and it made his stomach turn.


    ***dammit, diamond. you f-cked up. again.[/fancypost]

    ***the boy - or, excuse me; young man - sniffled once more, then stopped for a almost thirty seconds before sniffling again. it hurt him, now, to sniffle. his stomach was weaker than before, and he could vomit with any sudden movement. though, when he thought about it, it made it worse - the feeling, i mean. so he pushed it to the back of his mind. his swimming, sad mind. though once he did that, the thought of the cool, sharp metal pressing against his skin got a front row seat. he whimpered, though it was barely audible to even himself. and he was glad for that, too.


    ***he flinched slightly when he felt himself being lifted, and almost gagged. thankfully, he held it back, and snuggled closer to na as he walked. he knew where they were going, and he really didn't want to go back to the bus. but he couldn't go into the hotel a bloody mess, either. someone would definitely call 911, and there'd be a huge scene and sh-t. it'd get out to fans, and everything would be f-cked up. his parents would know, the fans would know - f-cking everyone would know. the thought made his stomach turn, and he had to swallow another gag.


    ***when na set him down, he grunted, still curled in the same position. he shivered when he felt a blanket being pulled up to his waist, and buried his head in the pillow under his head. he felt all too cold again, and the trembling came back. even with the blanket covering his legs, he was almost freezing. not quite freezing, but still utterly cold. he didn't dare complain, though, just baring through it. being born in san diego kind of sucked, in certain situations. he wasn't so much used to the cold.


    ***he felt something beside him, and scooted back a little. he opened his eyes, looking up as na said something, then walked away. no. his facial expression couldn't have gotten any more sad or hurt, but it did. he got himself to sit up, slouching as he started treating his wounds. he wrapped up his left forearm, only one scar sticking out a little, on his wrist. he sniffled, and brought a shaky hand up to rub at his nose, which was almost numb. he shivered, shoving the things to the side. he would wrap his hips, but that was highly impossible. he didn't feel like wrapping around his whole waist - it'd feel weird.


    ***after a few moments, he finally got himself to stand. he was a little wobbly, but he managed. he took his sweatshirt off, and shivered again, looking down at his torso. egh. he frowned, and knelt down by the duffel bag of his. he stuffed the bloodstained sweatshirt deep into the bag, then pulled out a fresh, midnight blue one. he pulled it on, then pulled a pair of grey sweatpants out, and slowly slipped them on. jeez, these were even saggier than the other ones.


    ***after doing all that, he managed to get himself up again, and leaned against a wall. he closed his eyes and gave himself time to gather himself, trying not to fall asleep right there. after five long minutes, he started his trek to the door of the bus.


    ***he carefully stepped out, his knees almost giving out. he starting trudging his way to the hotel, wrapping his arms around himself. he hung his head, and closed his eyes for a second. he almost passed out, causing to almost drop to the ground. but he didn't, thankfully, and kept trudging on. it seemed like forever till he got to the doors of the hotel, opening one with a shaky hand. oddly enough, he could barely pull it open, and almost fell when the door pushed him on his way in. he grunted, and kept trudging. damn, he had to go up stairs.


    ***the lady at the desk didn't say anything, thank the heavens, typing away. he managed to get up one step, then two, and three - until he was at the top of the floor. only a 'few' more stairs to step up, and he'd be in the hallway that lead to his and na's room. to him, it seemed like a million stairs before he got to that hallway. and before he could even get in front of the door, he was wrapped in a hug. "ow..." it was freddie, of course, and he was crying. "i'm so sorry, princess." he groaned tiredly, weakly shrugging his shoulders. "it's okay..." his voice seemed distant, to freddie, and it made him look up at him with a frown on his face. he wiped at his eyes, and put his hands on both of diamond's cheeks.


    ***"look at me." he made it so diamond had to look up at him, though his eyes refused to open - or he refused to open his eyes. "open your eyes. please." diamond sighed silently, opening his eyes just above halfway. "you need to sleep. and eat." diamond growled, scrunching his face up. "leave me alone!" he found the strength to push freddie away, and balled his hands into shaky fists. he walked at a brisk pace towards his - and na's - room, then realized he'd left his card inside - which was used to open the door. and he couldn't get in.


    ***"f-ck!" he slid down the wall right beside the door, legs bent up. he reached his arms out, and let his elbows rest on his knees. tears started to trail down his face again, and he let his head hang. "dammit..."


    ***why and how was freddie even awake?[/fancypost]

    ***i looked up at na, pain in my eyes, i just shook my head again. "don't be. everything's my fault." his voice wasn't as shaky as it was, since he had a mixture of emotions. he was angry, hurt, and upset - very, very upset. he didn't think he could be any more upset than he was, now. he had the sudden strength to push himself up, and balled his hands back up into. his eyes stared into na's, and he wiped at his own face. why did this have to happen? why was he even born? if he was never born, this whole world would be better off. without him, not so many people would have gotten hurt, throughout his years of living. though, was he really living? or was he just breathing?


    ***"everything - it's always my f-cking fault!" his yell wasn't loud at all, realizing they were in a hotel. he turned around to face freddie, whose face was a whole different mix of emotions. one stood out above the rest, though - hurt. he was just plain hurt. and diamond didn't want to see anymore people hurt, because of him. he turned his head to look back over at na, and rushed to him to give him a hug. he hugged him as tightly as he could, trying to contain his sobs, in which he succeeded in. he stood on his tiptoes, and pulled na's face down to give him a kiss on his forehead. "i'm sorry, na. about everything." his voice was a whisper, meant for only na to hear, and then he pulled away.


    ***diamond wiped at his face again, turning around to face freddie. though the other young man was already shuffling back to his room. before he could open the door, diamond rushed over to him and gave him a hug. "i'm sorry, freddie. tell the guys i love 'em. i love you, buddy." diamond gave a kiss to the drummer's head, then let him go inside the room. he put on a faint, shaky smile, taking a deep breath. it was all going to be okay. soon enough.


    ***diamond's sparkling eyes looked back over to na, gulping silently. "i'll sure miss you. i barely know you, but you're an awesome guy, okay? don't let anyone tell you otherwise. your heart is gold, mr. ash." he was trying to brighten the mood a little, even if he was just about tot do what he thought he was going to do. no - he was going to do it. he needed to. his mind was pushing him to do it, and he couldn't hold it back anymore. he'd waited too long, and now he f-cked all seven of these guys' lives up. when he was finally gone, everyone single of those those guys' lives would get better. na didn't need him - he needed someone stronger. he didn't need some weak, self-harming suicidal trying to help him. it was bound to make things worse. diamond'd already made thing worse.


    ***and before he knew it, he was walking calmly back down the flights of stairs. he took deep breaths, his bare feet light on the soft carpet. he chewed on the inside of his cheeks, and his smile fell. he let tears flood out, and he put his head in his hands for only a moment. he bumped into someone's shoulder, muttering a 'sorry' under his breath. the world felt slow, and it was like he was walking in slow motion. the world was spinning faster, yet time seemingly went slower, and it confused him. it really confused him. he was tired of being confused.


    ***diamond was tired of being beaten up by his own mind. he was tired of lying to those poor fans. he was tired of lying, period. he was tired of hurting everyone around him. he was tired of being surrounded. he was tired of being loved so much. he was tired of being smothered. he was tired of getting negative things from stupid haters. he was tired of crying. he was tired of purging. he was tired of all this pain. he was tired of living.


    ***but most of all, he was just tired of being tired.


    ***when he stepped outside, it had begun to sprinkle a little. he looked up to the sky with a sad smile, letting the small droplets hit his face for the last time. his stomach turned, and he knew he was going to throw up. if he didn't do it now he'd die from having nothing in his stomach. he didn't want to go through that. this would be quicker and easier, and it was something he could control. he always craved for something he could really control, and this was one of the only few things that he could control. he would have taken to drowning, but there wasn't really any body of water nearby. so i guess this would have to do. he knew it'd hurt, but it'd be over in a maximum of ten, fifteen minutes. that didn't seem too long. freddie had no idea why he told him to tell the guys that he loved them, so no one should come running out, or anything.


    ***after a few more moments, diamond shuffled over to the bus, shaking just a little. he hugged himself, taking a few more deep breaths before stepping inside. he walked straight to the bathroom, and looked at himself in the mirror. his smile drooped, and he hung his head. this was selfish. this was such a selfish thing to do. but he was too tired. he couldn't take it. it was utterly selfish, and there was nothing that would make it unselfish. but he didn't care, anymore. he did care about everyone, but that's why he was doing this. they'd be fine, without him. perfectly fine - which diamond could never be.


    ***he shakily picked the razor up from the floor, sliding his right sleeve up - the arm that wasn't scarred. yet. he balled his hand into a fist, biting on his lower lip. he hesitated, but pressed the cold blade to his skin. he winced, tears falling from his eyes, once more. the cut was deep enough, so he did it again. and again. and again.


    ***diamond sat himself down the the floor, leaning against the wall beside the toilet. he dropped the razor, and opened both lids of the toilet. he hung his head over it, and thankfully, it came out right away. he his right arm dangled by his side, the other bent, hand gripping the side of the cold toilet. he hated himself so much. he hated this.


    ***he hated it.[/fancypost]

    ***then he pressed down into a wound that was already there, letting out a huff and a wince, and breathing became hard. his chest heaved heavily, and he lied himself down. it was okay. it was all going to be okay. it'd all be over, soon. it'll be okay. no more worries, no more hurting. the sky is all you'll see, soon enough. and he scraped the blade across the wound, making it deeper. it hurt like f-cking hell, and he didn't want to move, but he knew it'd be over soon. no one could stop it, now.


    ***he was about to drift off into unconsciousness when he heard something from outside the bus. his eyes opened halfway, and he dropped the blade. he would have said something, but only a squeak came out. he had to close his eyes, head spinning way too much. he'd lifted his head, but it fell back down, and rolled over so his back faced the wall. who was out there? he was really scared, now - he didn't want anyone to come in there. he wanted to die in peace. why wouldn't anyone let him die in peace? first, those strangers wouldn't let him drown. second, his so called friend, jake, wouldn't let him even get up on the stool. and that car halted to a stop before it hit him. and he was always too scared to cut too deep.


    ***and now, when he was finally going to get out of this hell of a world, someone had to come crashing in. but why were they still outside? maybe it was just some person who was going back tot heir car. yeah. nothing to worry about. i guess he could die in peace.


    ***but his heart ached, and he knew that something was going on out there. being him, he decided he'd try and get up. he could barely lift his f-cking head. so he just stayed there, and tried to speak. his voice was no louder than a feather hitting the ground, but soon enough, it got loud enough to where anyone just outside the bus could hear him. "n-na?" he didn't know why his name came out of his mouth. it just did, without his consent. he tried telling himself it wasn't na, but he didn't know - he could just feel it.


    ***goddammit, where was his phone? in his f-cking backpack. he groaned, and started army crawling out of the bathroom. he was lucky he could do even that. he was panting by the time he got to his bunk, hitting his backpack so it'd fall to the ground beside him. his hands were bloody, but he didn't give a sh-t. what if na was hurting out there? i mean, he would have come in by now, right? right.


    ***diamond rolled over so he was on his back, eyes still closed. he put the phone on speaker after speed dialing preston. he didn't want to go through freddie, right now. he sniffled, turning his head to where the phone was placed. when preston picked up, his voice sounded panicked. "diamond? where are you? the door to your room was open, where the f-ck are you? are you in the bus? please, tell me you're in the bus. wait, are you okay? what-"


    ***"p-preston..." at the moment, he couldn't get anything else out. but he knew the other was already speeding down the stairs by the way he heard fast, very audible footsteps. he groaned, trying his best not to just blackout. he couldn't do that - not just yet. he had to know that na was okay. it was pouring, and if na was hurt out there, he'd only hurt more with the rain pelting down on him. diamond couldn't, and wouldn't, have that. na deserved so much better. he'd been through so much, and he deserved a perfect life.


    ***"i'm coming, princess! don't you dare move! just... stay calm and-" "preston... sh-shut up..." his voice was so weak, but he couldn't care any less, at the moment. he wanted to know that na was okay. he needed to know before his world was forever dark. he didn't want to die knowing na was right there, hurt, and he could have done something. sort of. i mean, he could barely feel anything, anymore, but still. diamond would be guilty for eternity, and he wouldn't even be able to live with that after he died. even if na was just a little hurt, he'd stay guilty for-freaking-ever.


    ***"no, you be quiet! i'm almost - holy f-cking sh-t..." diamond's heart dropped, and he winced. something was definitely wrong. he could hear preston's voice from outside the bus, and it was really panicky and worried. what was going on, out there? then preston came running inside the bus, and knelt by diamond. "sh-t. f-ck. diamond... why...?" "ash? wh-where -" "he's outside... he's f-cking... broken."


    ***diamond shivered, and whimpered. he knew what he meant, and he shook his head. "i'm gonna call mark. f-ck." he took a hold of diamond's hand, trying not to squeeze it. mark and preston had exchanged phone numbers, because, you know, they were both kind of over protective. he waited for mark to pick up, chewing on his lower lip. "na..." diamond whimpered na's name, and started crying, shoulders barely shaking.


    ***nothing was going to be alright. not ever. diamond should have known better. he thought he could make things right, but he only made things far worse. and now na... now...


    ***f-cking sh-t.


    ( it's totally fine! so much angst and feelings and ugh... asdfghjkl...
    sorry - dis is rushed and stuffz. :3
    dude, this is like some romeo and juliet sh-t. x3 )[/fancypost]
