Liz's POV

My and CC had hidden in the gym and had made a fortress out of weights and benches. We were giggling like maniacs when Ashley and Andy came in. We instantly silenced ourselves and tightened our grips on the water bottles we planned to use as weapons.

"Guys, this isn't funny! We need to talk!" Andy said. Me and CC stood up, showing our faces. Our water bottles were hidden behind our backs.

"Come on!" Ash said walking towards us. We sprayed the pair with our water bottles and sprinted out of the room, leaving them in a daze.

"Quick! To my floor!" I whisper/shouted, sprinting towards the elevator. Andy and Ash ran around the corner and trapped us against the wall.

"Damnit!" Yelled CC.

"Ugh, fine. Do we really need to talk?" I asked

"Yes. Come to the dining room" Ash said.

We walked through to see Jake and Jinxx snickering.

"Right. Everyone is okay with this, is being together?" Asked Ash.

"Why wouldn't we be, my dear ashy?" I replied.

"Because it would be deemed weird by most"

"Really, have you even seen us? Jeez" jake laughed.

"Anyway, we need to practice for the festival!" Said Jake.

"It isn't for two months" Jinxx replied.

"Yeah but we have a noob and we need to show her how we play together" CC added.

"Let's go! Music room, I believe" I said, turning and striding out.

We assembled in the music room and set up, everyone with their instruments.

"Um, what do I do?"

"You can take over ash's backup singing and the piano stuff"

"Right" I said, moving begging the keyboard and adjusting a microphone.

"Okay, let's play lost it all. That's fairly simple" Ash suggested.

I played the intro and Andy started singing along. I hadn't played the piano since my brother died. He taught me how to play and I stopped after he died. CC kicked in with some drums and Jinxx with the violin. Then Jake and Ash started playing and I started to have a flashback.

Flashback

I was nine. Sam (my brother) was teaching me how to play the piano parts of 'Lost It All', a song that hadn't been released by Black Veil Brides yet. He was singing and I was playing in time with him.

The song was calming and gut-wrenching at the same time. I started to cry because of the lyrics and my older brother stopped singing and hugged me, crying with me. We stayed this way for a while, crying and singing our hearts out.

Flashback over

I noticed tears rolling down my cheeks and my voice broke halfway through a sentence. Grief stabbed through my heart and I sank to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Ashley dropped his bass and walked over to me, pulling me into a hug in an attempt to comfort me. I soaked his shoulder with tears, the others watching me with concerned eyes. Fifteen minutes later, I dried my eyes and stood up.

"Are you alright?" Asked CC.

"Fine, this is the first time I've played since sammy died. Sorry" I choked up again. I slapped myself to pull myself together.

"Right. I'm alright, let's start again" I said.

We carried on through the song, and many after, until it was around five pm.

"Right. I'm going to go for a walk to clear my head, I'll be around an hour" I said, grabbing my earphones and walking out of the house. I blasted Fall Out Boy into my eardrums and arrived at a forest. I decided to explore it, staring into the depths of the trees. I stepped in and started sprinting through the leaves. Then, I stumbled across a clearing.

There was a small pool of red in the middle, surrounding a boy with a blade in his hand. He looked around my age. He was unconscious and possibly dead. I ran over to him and checked his pulse.

Weak, but still there. The blood on the floor was still warm too. I tore of parts of my shirt and wrapped them tightly around his bleeding wrists, before picking him up and carrying him to the house, calling CC on the way.

"Hey, what's up?" He asked.

"I found a boy in the forrest. His wrists are bleeding and he looks nearly dead. Open the door and prepare a sofa. I'm nearly home"

"Right, I'll tell the others"

CC hang up, just as I arrived at the gates of the house. I ran through the door and into the living room, placing the boy on the sofa.

"Guys! A little help please!" I shouted.

Ashley, Jinxx and Jake came running into the room, followed be Andy and CC, carrying a first aid kit.

"Okay, we can't take him to hospital. Suicide survivors hate that. Don't ask how I know. I bound his wrists with my shirt but his wounds are pretty deep"

"We need to get him to a hospital! He needs to survive!" Shouted Jake.

"Fine. You can deal with him once he wakes up though" I said, calling an ambulance.

Unknown POV

Twenty minutes earlier

I arrived home from school. I was late, as my bullies decided to make me bleed again.

"Where have you been?" Snarled my father.

"I-I was with a f-fr-friend" I stuttered.

"Do not stutter, boy" my father said before planting his fist into my guts. I collapsed to the floor and my father walked out, laughing. I had enough. I ran upstairs, grabbed one of my razors and ran to the nearest forest.

I found my clearing. It was peaceful here, quiet and serene. I looked into the sky for the last time, before slitting both of my wrists. The black dots started to cloud my vision and I collapsed to the floor, passing out.

I woke up to a beeping noise and a blinding light.

I heard voices, a man and a woman talking.

"A blood transfusion. I can't believe it! I'm glad I found him" said the woman.

"I know, I'm impressed you didn't freak out. How did you know he
wouldn't want to be here?"

"Experience. I was ten, I had enough and tried to stab myself in the kidney. Luckily, I was really shit at biology and missed anything important. I passed out and woke up here. All I remember was wondering why I couldn't just die. Please don't bring it up, it's behind me and I'm over it"

I opened my eyes to see a blonde girl in an excessive amount of eyeliner, and a black haired guy wearing just as much eyeliner.

"Ah, he's awake. Hi! What's your name?" Asked the woman.

"Why am I here? I shouldn't be here! I should have died!" I cried.

"I know. I'm really sorry. You will pull through, i promise. I'm Liz, this is Ash. Nice to meet you"

"I'm Eli. When can I get out of here?"

"Few days, max"

Hai! What do you think? New character! I'm not sure how long he is going to stay though, we'll have to see.
