Start from the beginning
                                    

Once I made it upstairs, I slammed my door then leaned against it as I crossed my arms.

With everything I've been through with Mr. Jay and his brother, with having a shitty relationship with my sister my whole life, with being bullied by everyone my entire life, with having body/self-esteem issues, with dealing with a love triangle, and with dealing with the fact that I'm depressed, therapy seemed to be a good choice for me.

However, staying away from my friends for over a week, was not.

My therapist was right. I needed to start doing what was best for me, not for everyone else. So, tonight I was seeing my friends. Because that was what's best for me.

So, I pushed open my bathroom door and began getting ready.

I reapplied some faded makeup from the school day, tied up my curls into a loose ponytail, letting some front hair out to shape my face, then lastly, I got dressed into a better outfit.

You wore this:

When I was done getting ready, I looked at myself in the mirror, then took a deep breath

When I was done getting ready, I looked at myself in the mirror, then took a deep breath.

Today was the first time in what felt like forever that I was wearing a skirt. It weirdly felt kind of nice.

With a mission on my mind, I strutted downstairs to leave through the front door this time, so I wouldn't injure myself like I once have.

Nicole was still sitting down on the couch when I went down there. She noticed me instantly from the kitchen. Her eyes widened, seeing me as she shut the fridge.

NICOLE:
"You're not leaving, Y/N."

Y/N:
"Watch me." I raised my eyebrows and began walking to my front door when she suddenly grabbed my wrist.

Something snapped in me.

I grabbed her by the collar and slammed her against the wall, making her gasp loudly. I went close to her face as my eyes narrowed at her.

Y/N:
"You are not in charge of my life...be grateful you're even in it now..." I spoke lowly.

Nicole gulped nervously while clenching her jaw, locking onto my eyes.

NICOLE:
"Fine...go...but don't come crying when they break your heart once again..." She whispered.

I twitched my nose slightly then let her go, leaving my house as my black boots clunked against the concrete.

-CLAY's POV-
I plopped down on the couch with my bowl full of popcorn.

GEORGE:
"Gimme some." He tried taking a handful, but I swatted his hand away.

CLAY:
"Go make your own."

GEORGE:
"I would, but no." He smiled then tried reaching again, making me sigh and give in.

NICK:
"This movie is trash." He spoke from the singular couch.

CLAY:
"Why else do you think it took me 20 minutes to cook popcorn?" I lightly smiled at him.

Suddenly, my doorbell rang.

NICK:
"I got it. Anything's better than this movie." He jogged to the door, all while George tried stealing more of my popcorn next to me.

-NICK's POV-
Once I jogged to Clay's front door, I turned the knob and swung it open with a gasp. I met eyes with Y/N. She looked just as surprised and nervous as I was.

Y/N:
"H—Hi..." She said quietly.

NICK:
"H—Hey..."

Y/N:
"I um..." She gulped nervously while messing with her fingers, "Could I come in...?"

My eyes fell to her outfit. She was wearing a black jacket with a top and matching skirt. That skirt gave me a little hope that she was back to her old self.

NICK:
"O—Okay..." Was all that came out of my mouth.

I stepped to the side and soon, Y/N walked in cautiously. Once she went past me, I shut the front door with a deep breath.

-Y/N's POV-
I walked until I reached Clay's living room. Sitting down on the couch next to each other was my best friends, Clay and George.

They both instantly looked up once I came into their view. Their eyes widened, meeting mine.

Y/N:
"H—Hi..." Slight tears formed my eyes already, seeing the way they looked at me.

CLAY:
"What're you doing here...?" He asked instantly in a low voice, sending chills through me.

I gulped nervously while looking off to the side. Nick soon sat down on the couch, on the other side of Clay.

Y/N:
"U—Um..." I released a shaky breath out while staring at each of them at a time.

Clay's appearance looked cold, bothered, and annoyed. George's facial reaction seemed as if he was disappointed but surprised to see me. And Nick had a look on his face that was very much anxiety and confusion.

It was now that I regretted coming here.

I had a sick feeling to my stomach, I felt anxiety in my chest, and I couldn't get over the way they looked at me now. Before, they used to stare at me like I was the most perfect thing in the world and now, their gazes had a sense of hatred behind them.

I frowned at that realization as more tears formed in my eyes.

NICK:
"Clay told us you talked to him today..." He started the conversation while looking nervous as fuck, "Um...does that mean that the break is over or...?"

I clenched my jaw while narrowing my eyes at them. No words would exit my mouth, I honestly didn't know what to say.

Instead, I looked nervously at them as my frown deepened.

GEORGE:
"Well...? Are you gonna answer him...?" He crossed his arms.

I felt the hostility immediately from George. I couldn't help but feel a tug at my heart now.

I feel like I've lost them.

The tears filled my eyes fully, almost overflowing. It suddenly felt wrong to be here, I now knew my sister was right. I shouldn't have come, I felt embarrassed and anxious.

I quickly turned around and tried running for the door, but Nick caught up to me, grabbing me by the wrist to stop me.

I jerked my head around to meet his eyes.

NICK:
"Please stay..." He frowned with doe eyes.
