~Ivy's POV~

I've been in the routine of staying up till three AM when I know everybody is asleep and read hate comments on Twitter.

The hate comments only encourage my inner demons to come out.

I've run out of room on both my left and right forearms so I've started on my upperarms.

There isn't an inch uncut.

Its 3 AM now so I made my way into the bathroom.

I Sat down and pulled my sleeves up.

Cutting isn't enough.

This time I brought a lighter I stole from the 7/11 close by.

I put it to my skin and flicked.

The flame came out and burned my wrist.

I smiled and leaned my head back as I moved it up.

That went on for an hour before I heard a light knock on the door.

"Ivy, are you okay?" someone asked through the door.

I didn't answer.

I just hoped they'd go away.

I hid the lighter and started running cold water over my left arm.

"Ivy. Open up." the voice demanded.

I sighed and unlocked the door before sliding down the wall.

"Ivy!"

I now recognised the voice as Normani.

"Come here." she said pulling me into her arms.

"Mani I can't do this anymore." I told her squeezing my eyes shut.

"Yes you can. And you will. I'm not losing you." she said rubbing my back.

She stood up with me in her arms and made her way over to my bed.

"We're talking in the morning." she said setting me in the bed and getting in beside me.

I instantly cuddled into her side, breathing in her scent.

"I love you Mani." I said as she pulled me closer into her.

"I love you too." was all I heard before I fell asleep to the comforting sound of her soft humming.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to soft murmuring and a flash.

I tiredly open my eyes and look up.

Holly, Mom, And Ally are standing at the end of the bed with their phones out.

"Ally! Your flash!" mom scolded.

"Oops sorry!" I don't think they know I'm awake yet.

"You better send me those." I say into Normani's neck.

"Oops sorry for waking you up." Holly says.

"No its fine." I say sitting up slightly.

I kiss Normani's head and get up.

The three smile and leave after saying their good mornings.

I pet Coopers head and make my way to the shower.

I get out and put on a blue flannel, a band shirt, dark ripped skinny jeans, And I stole a beanie from Normani.

I walk out of the bathroom and see my room empty.

I frown and walk out of my room with Cooper.

"You hungry baby?" I ask him.

He barks and runs around.

"I'll take that as a yes." I smile and kiss his cute little ears.

We made our way to the kitchen and see everyone already there.

I smile at them before getting Cooper his food.

"Hey! It that my beanie!" Normani asks.

"It was. I've claimed it." I said with a slight smirk.

"Okay okay. I'll just take one of your snapbacks." she says before running off to my room.

"Whatever." I say before sitting at the table.

"Mommy. I'm hungry." I groan.

I hear giggles. This isn't good.

I look up and Demi throws a waffle at my face.

"Okay thank Demz." I say with a cheeky smile.

I eat my waffle before Normani comes skipping into the room with one of my snapbacks on her head.

I giggle as She comes over to me and sits down on the counter.

"See this? Its mine." she said bopping My nose.

"Hey Lo. Can me and Ivy go shopping today?" Normani asks mom.

"Excuse you. I can make my own choices. I'll come." I said holding my head up with the palm of my hand.

"Good. We leave in a few minutes." she said before jumping off the counter and running off.

"You guys would be cute." Holly said leaning into Dinah.

"They would." Dinah agreed.

"Oh shut up!" I said flipping them off playfully.

They fake gasp as Normani appears again.

"Lets goooooo." she said dragging out the 'o' like a child.

I smile and follow her outside.

"So where are we going?" I ask once we were on the road.

"The mall." she said looking over at me.

"Oh yay! I need more flannels and bracelets."

She looked at me with a sad face.

I realized what I said and look away.

"I'm sorry mani."

"Don't apologize Ivy." Normani grabbed my hand. "I'm never leaving you." she ran her thumb over My knuckles making me smile.

The rest of the ride is filled with comfortable silence.

We pull into the mall lot and park.

We both get out and make our way in.

"So what are we looking for?" I ask.

"Anything cute." she smiles looking at me.

"Sorry you guys already have me." I joked.

She giggled and grabbed my hand.

"Ohhhh American Eagle!" I squealed like a little kid. We walked in and I ran straight over to the flannel rack.

I pulled a blue and black one off and looked at it.

"God it's adorableeeee."

She laughs.

"Hey I'm going to go get some Starbucks for us. I'll be right back."

I nod and send her a smile.

I grabbed the flannel and start walking towards the cashier when someone stops me.

"Hey slut."

Brittany.

"What Brittany."

"Have you seen My baby sister?" she asks with a smirk.

"Who's your sister." I ask.

"Oh you know. Pink hair. About your height. Looks nothing like me." she looks behind me. "Oh there she is." she smirks.

I turn around and lock eyes with Skylar.

"S-Skylar?" I ask turning around.

"Ivy it's not what it looks like." Skylar begs.

"Save it. You lied to me." I said before running out of American Eagle, leaving the shirt on The floor.

I ran out of there and passed Starbucks where Mani was and straight into someone.

I looked up and saw Gabby, Niall, Louis, And Harry.

"Thank God. Take me home please." I begged. "Not my home. Anywhere but there. They can't see me like this please."

"Okay okay!" Gabby said grabbing my arm to steady me.

"Thank you."

Louis and Harry grabbed my arms and led me out to Gabbys car.

We got in and drove to her house.

Once we got there We went up to Gabbys room.

They Sat me down.

"Explain." Niall told me strictly.

I sighed and looked at my hands.

The sooner I started the sooner it was over.

So I started.

I told them everything That has happened today.

~Normani's POV~

I ordered our Starbucks and made my way back to where I left Ivy.

I got there but she wasn't there.

I looked around and spotted Skylar.

I ran towards her and noticed tear tracks on her face.

"Skylar what's wrong?" I ask.

"I'm sorry." she chokes out. "I'm so sorry."

"Skylar. Where's Ivy." I demand.

"I don't know." she says.

A blonde walks up behind her.

"Good job little sis. Looks like you did your job well." the Barbie says.

"Skylar. What is she talking about?" I ask frantically.

"Shut the fuck up Brittany." Skylar spats.

"That's no way to treat your big sister!" the girl now known as Brittany says.

Wait. Brittany?

Isn't she the girl that bullies Ivy?

"Where is she!" I yell, causing people to look our way.

"She ran. I think she went right." Skylar said looking away.

I nod and run out throwing the coffees out.

I searched the whole mall and called Ivy numerous Times.

She could've just gone home right?

I asked myself before racing to my car.

I get home quickly and run inside.

"Ivy?" I yell through the house.

No response.

I run to Ivy's room and look frantically.

Not here either.

I searched the whole house from the basement to the attic.

No sign of Ivy.

I sulk to Ivy's room, letting the tears fall freely.

I grab Ivy's favorite black soccer hoodie and slip it on.

It smells just like her.

I lie down on her bed letting the tears fall.

"Where are you baby?" I question out loud.

I cuddle into the pillow and close my eyes.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up a few hours later to the door creaking open.

I shoot up from the bed and see Ivy.

I run over to her pulling her into a tight hug, not wanting to let go.

"Never again baby. Please. You scared me so much." we slowly pulled apart and I noticed she was bleeding.

"Ivy you're bleeding." I gasp guiding her to the bathroom.

I lift her up and set her on The sink counter and grab the first aid kit.

I open it up and stand between her legs. I slowly start to clean her cut.

Once it's finished I look into her eyes.

She's staring at my lips.

I smile and give a slight nod, letting her know I want the same thing.

She smiles back before kissing me.

Her lips are soft.

Softer than Arin's.

I smiled as we broke the kiss.

"I've been wanting to do that for a while now." Ivy whispered.

I nodded, pecking her lips once more.

"We need to talk about this You know."

Ivy nodded and wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck.

"Carry me." She spoke into my neck.

I put my hands under her thighs and carried her downstairs.

I set her on the counter and grabbed a Starbucks from the fridge.

"Where'd you go?" I asked.

"My friends." she answered.

"Why though?" I asked genuinely concerned.

"Skylars been lying to my face." she whispered, letting tears fall once more.

I use the pad of my thumb to wipe her cheeks and kiss her forehead.

"I'm sorry babygirl you don't have to tell me." I whispered.

She nodded and burried her face in my neck.

"I'll tell you." she mumbled.

I nodded.

"Skylar is Brittanys sister. Brittanys my severe bully. Mani, she lied to me. She made me think She cared. She saved me from jumping." she paused. "She said She loved me Normani."

"She doesn't deserve to be in your life babygirl." I caressed her face with my hands and kissed her softly.

She smiled into the kiss and kissed back.

"Lets go watch a movie." I told her, picking her up.

I carried her downstairs to the basement and set her down on The couch.

I grabbed her favorite movie and put it in.

"Vampire Academy?" she questioned.

I nodded and she smiled.

"Rose and Vasilisa should have been dating." she said referring to the characters in the movie.

"Agreed."

We cuddle up and relax.

Ivy's head is on my chest.

I kiss the top of her head.

"Mani, would you like to go out maybe? Like on a date?" She questioned shyly.

I smiled before kissing her softly.

"I'll take that as a yes?" she asked with a hopeful smile.

"Yes. Ivy, I'd love to go on a date with you." she smiled even wider.

"I'm glad You found me." she whispered into my ear before cuddling further into me.

I smile as I hear her soft snores.

I turn the tv off, kiss her head, and soon fall asleep.
