**Crimson’s P.O.V.**
I was busy washing the dishes when Josh came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. God it felt so nice. I felt safe in a way.
“Nicole’s starving herself.” He whispered and I nearly dropped the dish. Josh pulled away and I carefully set down the plate before turning to look at him.
“You’re kidding, right?” He shook his head and I let out a really small sigh.
“Okay. Thank you. Go to bed. I’m cleaning up.” I said and Josh reluctantly did so, but not before giving a lingering kiss on my lips. His lips were soft and perfectly fit mine. I watched him disappear before I shuffled to the living room, and went past it, heading to the white wall. I grabbed the hanging key and carefully inserted it into the wall, before opening the door.
The wine cell opened up before me and I looked from the beer to the wine. I finally grabbed four bottles of wine and walked out backwards, closing the door with my foot trying not to make too much noise. I carefully locked it and hung the key before walking back to the kitchen. I carefully set the bottle on the dark marble counter and grabbed myself a wine glass, being gentle. The glasses were very fragile, squeezing too tight, dropping them, or throwing them could break them.
**Morning**
**Nicole’s P.O.V.**
When I had woke up she felt a small bubble of bad luck in my stomach. I decided it was better to just ignore the stupid feeling and get ready. I got some jeans, a Pierce The Veil black shirt and my black vans. I went to the bathroom did my make up and fixed my hair. When I decided I looked okay I left my bedroom. When I had entered the kitchen, Crimson was leaning against the counter. Three bottles of wine empty. The fourth half empty.
“Crimson! You’re going to poison yourself!” I said almost screaming as I reached for the last and half empty bottle. Crimson snarled and finished her glass.
“No. I know I won’t die from drowning three bottles. But I guess starving yourself is a good way to get yourself killed up.” She slurred, and I froze in horror. Crimson knew. Josh must have told her the truth. I never told her anything because I knew she would just explode. She was different from Josh.
“GOD DAMMIT NICOLE!! I don’t want you to die!! You can’t do this!!! If you die everyone’s life will crash!! YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT OTHERS FOR ONCE!” She shouted, the glass waving around dangerously. I took a step back and looked at the ground, wishing that the morning hadn’t started this way.
“You’re going to get yourself killed.” Crimson hissed and I refused to look up at her. I couldn’t dare to see her and know I disappointed her. It was too much.
“Look. At. Me.” She spat, and I finally did, then wishing I didn’t. Crimson looked furious, but I could see the sadness in her eyes, the sadness she had tried to leave behind by moving to London.
“You’re going to eat in this house hold. God made you like this because he wanted you to!! What do you think Oli would think if he found out about this?” Crimson said, her voice steadily rising. Oli. He wouldn’t look at me anymore the same way he did the past days. He would be disappointed in me. He would have left me right away. I mean who wants to deal with a stupid girl with scars and is starving herself? Nobody. I looked at her phone and noticed the text from Olober <3. I was about to read it when Crimson shouted.
“NICOLE!” I jumped back, startled, and looked to Crimson. Crimson was crying the glass was straining in her grip.
“What?” I whispered softly, and Crimson lost it. She spun and threw the glass at the far wall, it crashed against the wall and they heard the twinkling as the shattered shards fell to the ground. Crimson’s hands were bleeding. I grabbed her purse and headed for the door, swallowing my tears. I couldn’t deal this anymore. It was too much. Why couldn’t Josh keep his mouth closed? This wouldn’t have happened if Josh didn’t say anything to her.
“THIS ISN’T OVER! YOU STILL HAVE TO COME HOME!” Crimson shouted, and Josh suddenly appeared. The last thing I saw was Josh grabbing her, trying to calm her down. I called the taxi and told him where I needed to go. The driver took her there, and the second I walked inside I let out a choked sigh, trying to keep back my stupid tears.
“Hey.” Mike said, and he instantly noticed my distressed state.
“What’s wrong?” He said standing up, totally forgetting to prepare his tools. Aaron appeared out of nowhere, hearing what Mike had said.
“Who hurt you?” He asked and I shook my head, covering her face with my hands.
“C-crimson, w-was u-upset.” I was able to say while I sniffled and Mike grabbed his car keys before heading to the house. Aaron sat me down across from him.
“What happened?” He asked and I finally let my tears fall.
“C-crimson was drunk and upset about s-something I did, and s-she hurt her hands, and threw a w-wine glass, and she was crying, and angry.” I said from behind my hands and Aaron called up Mike, explaining the situation and telling him to come back when he fished with Crimson. to the shop while he comforted me. Aaron wrapped his hands around me. Why was I so goddamn weak? It’s all my fault. If it was for my stupid starvation Josh would have never told her. I hated the whole situation. I finally got my phone to see what Oli had sent me before, but I wasn’t able to see it. My tears were covering my vision. I clean my eyes with my hands.
From: Olober <3
Hey sweetie, how are you? I hope you slept well :) I hope you dreamed of a sexy idol kissing you the whole time ;) I’m just kidding. I can’t wait for the show, only two days left :D You better be in the front row or else I will personally kill you. I know where you live, remember that.
Even though I was in the shittiest mood I was able to laugh. Aaron looked at me strangely.
“Are you laughing? Weren’t you like crying until two seconds ago? Why are you laughing?” He asked me. I went back to the message Oli sent me and showed it to him. A smile appeared on his face. Then he became confused.
“Wait what? How come he has your phone number? Why is there a heart next to his name? Are you two dating? Are you cheating on Mike?” What? First of all Mike and me were not dating. Second of all Oli and me? I mean why would he want to date me? I’m just a stupid fan.
“Calm down bro. First of all our boss and I are not dating. We just happened to kiss and that’s all. Second of all Oli and I dating? We are just friends, that’s it. Oli asked for my phone number after his tattoo was finished. I gave it to him thinking he would have forgotten about me in a matter of a few hours. Then we just happen to text each other sometimes. Well, I put a heart because he is OLI. You know one of my idols? From the band Bring Me The Horizon? So I put a heart because I love his band and his music and all. ” He looked calm. He seemed to understand everything. I decided to reply to Oli.
To: Olober <3
I’m fine thanks :) How did you know what I dreamed about? Did you stalk me or something? My dreams are private hahaha don’t worry I will be the first person you see at the show. I will the crazy chick in the front row screaming your name and saying how much I love you. ;) Well, it’s okay that you kill me, just let me enjoy the concert than you can do whatever you want. :P
I turned off my phone as Mike came back into the room.
“I talked with Crimson. After a bit she was able to calm down. She didn’t tell me what you did though. I think she understood that it was able to keep it private. I cleaned up the whole kitchen and help Crimson. Are you fine Nicole?”
I told him that everything was perfectly fine and I went to my desk and pretended like nothing happened that morning.
