I'd Die For You

*Cambria's POV*

It's been weeks since Chris had his fall out with us. He stay away and wouldn't even come near us. Being in the same classes as him was hard on Roku. She wanted to help him out so much. Wanted to be there for him, and he won't even say a word to us. James and his fucktards beat the living shit out of him for going after James like he did at the club, still when we went to help him. He flipped out on all of us. It hurt Roku, Andy and Ashley the most. They were the people closes to him before it came down to all this.

"Cambria, are you okay?" I looked over at Andy to see him just staring at me. Right now we were all in a study hall and working on homework that none of us felt like doing at home. I looked over at Roku who was just staring at Chris. He was by himself, sitting alone and with his hoodie over his head. He was failing school and he wouldn't talk to anyone anymore. We didn't get to see his sister much, but we know she is the one that brings him to school and takes him home.

"Just thinking, we need to talk to Sarah. I know she hangs out with Jinxx and Jake's brother and sister. So maybe we should go find them. He hasn't been doing well in school and it's starting to really worry Roku and me." I looked at him and he got up and we follow him. That's why I seen Chris eyes on us. Even though he stay away, it was like he knew when we were up to something. He watched us leave, the thing that scared me a bit was he looked pissed and annoyed that we were living. Like he didn't want us to because he knew what we were up to.
"Something really change around him. It's like he has so much hate toward us right now." Roku sounded so upset.

"Don't let it get to you Roku." Andy lead us to where Travis and the two Sarahs hanged out. When we got there they were all their. "Hey guys..." We sat down and just relaxed. "Sarah, can we ask you something about Chris?" Whe she sighed she looke at the others.

"I will talk to you both later. I'll come hang out, but I have to get Christian home before that." She looked at us. "Follow me, I'm not going to tell you everything but I can tell you something." She got up and walked outside, to the tree that we all hanged out under. She sat down and we could feel eyes on us but no one was around when we were looking for them. "It's Chris, he's watching, making sure things don't get out of control. I know you guys really care about him. But you need to back off. Chris hides a lot in his mind, he hides a lot from what happen in LA. Yes he misses LA, it was fun there and he was close to all the bands and this helping him keep things hinted. Now that he's gone, people are finding out what he hid and it's coming back on him and hard. His friends and ex from LA, contact James and them. Meaning he's the main target. They don't even worry about you and your group because they found someone better to go after, someone that regrets things that happen back at home. This just became a horror movie and it's best you all stay out of it. Don't end up in the horror....hear me warning and stay away from him until he comes to you." She walked off after that and it just left us all confused even more.

"What do you think she means?" I looked at Roku who looked scared but upset too because of what we found out.

"We do as she said, stay away from him. Or we go to James and find out." Andy sighed at the thought.
"Or we hear what he had to say...." I looked up seeing Chris storming toward us. He wasn't happy and looked really annoyed.

"I told you all to stay out of it, fucking listen for once." He yelled at us. "I want none of you to bother my sister again, I don't want you all watching over me and I want you to leave me the fuck alone! I'm not even going to be nice about it. Just fuck off, I want nothing to do with any of you and stay the hell away from my family!" He walked off but Andy stopped him but stepping in his way.

"Chris, you can trust us. We can be there for you and we really want to. I don't know what happen, we only went to your sister because we were worry about you. Please just talk to us, let us know what we can do. Please...." He was just looking and that fast Andy ended up on his ass on the ground from Chris pushing him, and it wasn't a friendly one either.

"Back. The. Fuck. Off...." Chris glared at him and then at us. I couldn't see anything from the guy we met, he was gone and Roku slowly walked up to him and put a hand one his shoulder.
"Chris...." He turned toward at fast and pushed her to the ground as hard as he did Andy. She just started crying and I seen in his face that he regretted what he did.

"I'm sorry....but please just leave me the hell alone...." He ran off and that was the last we seen of him that we would see of him that day I have a feeling.

I walked over and helped Roku up and gave her a hug, she just cried because she just really worry about Chris. I turn to see Ashley helping Andy up and seeing Jinxx and Jake glare in the way that Chris ran. I just sighed and we all relax in our spot on the school ground. It's a good thing it was the end of the day.

"What the hell did we miss?" Jake was just looking at us all and everyone else asking what he asked.

"We talked to Sarah about him. She just told us to leave him go and let him come to us, that there is a lot of shit that went on in LA that we really shouldn't be known and now that he's gone his friends and ex out there found something out and contact James and them here. He's their new target, getting them off our back. But she said we need to leave him alone, let him come to us. After she walked around he came up here and yelling at us for going to his sister. Andy and Roku tried to stop him and he just pushed them though I could see him upset after pushing Roku on the ground and he just ran off." I looked around and we were the only wants at school.
"I think we should go find out from James what is going on." Andy just looked down kown we would all refuse to that.

"No, we wait, I mean I'm sure James will come to us and try to turn us against him. If that happens, we play along." We all looked at Jinxx in shock.

"No! I won't do that!" Roku was mad and this shock all the boys, they never seen her mad, but Jess and I did. "We are not going to play along because that would mean hurting him! We can't do that when we told him he could always count on us!" She was crying again and really upset. "You guys are stupid if you think this is okay!"

"Sorry Roku, but I agree with Jinxx and Andy one this one." Jake always agreed with Jinxx so it was not shock to me.

"No, I don't agree, we leave him be, we stay to ourselves. We stay the hell out of this. What ever happen we stay out of it. They aren't coming after us. We need to keep that up and work on trying to be ready when they do come after us again. We shouldn't play along, it will give Chris a feeling that we hate him and he won't trust us ever. Don't be fucking stupid. We don't get in this...." Ashley looked at them with a glare. "It won't be anything go to us. We go on living our lives like always and when Chris comes to us then we open up to him. Welcome him back into our group. We don't turn against him even if it's just 'playing the part' We stick together." I was happy that Ashley was in this, he was older then most of us just failed a few years to stay in school with us.

"But you know James will come, you know he will make use pick sides and if we keep on Christian's side. What the hell is going to happen with us? We need to play along, protect ourselves since Chris isn't a friend." Jake had a point and sighed when Roku got up and walked off on us all, alone.

"Great one Jake, you just fucking upset her more. Stop thinking we need to protect ourself by betraying a friend. We never did that to Andy, We are not doing that to Chris!" I got up and run after Roku. There was no way I was going to let her walk home by herself.

After a while of looking for her, I found her in the park between our and Andy's street. She was sitting on the swing and look down at the ground. I walked over to her and sat next to her. She was quiet for a few minutes before talking.

"This is the first time I ever met him, he really didn't like this town and was upset that he had to move her. I always sense something about him. That he was hiding something. I open up to him first, told him about our group, our names, and to stay away from James and his group. I never open up to anyone like that other then you and Jess. It took me forever to open up to the guys. But he was just so lonely and I seen him walking to a store and back to here. I was so worry about him because he just looked so upset." She sighed some. "Guess there was more hidden that he wasn't letting on to. I had a feeling about his mom, but there is a horror story darker then that. Maybe it's why his mom tries to control him so much."

"What did you see and hear that night? When you went back to his house?" Roku sighed and closed her eyes swinging a bit.

"He was getting things ready and he told me that if I hear someone coming up the stairs, it would be his mom and that I should hide. No sooner did he say that, she came up and I went in the cloest to hide. She grabbed him and threw him against the wall telling him he wasn't allow to leave until going back to school. He told her that he asked his father and he said he was allow to. She beat the shit out of him saying that she was tired of him going to his father and his father letting him do whatever he please. She was drunked too but I could tell that whatever happen in LA, she didn't want Chris to be on the lose. Something bad happen, being pushed by him today. I could tell, sense that he don't trust himself with people." She looked at me.

"I see, so what do we do now?" I had to ask, see seem to be the only one actually feeling things.

"We leave him ago, we don't help him, we don't try to take to him. We go back to the way it was when he wasn't here. I'm sure when he needs someone. He will come to us, and if that don't happen then we wait and see what does. We have to watch ourselves because he was friends with us, and if they can't get a hold of him they will come for us known he's a friend. He's trying to keep that from happening." Maybe it was right. I texted Andy and told him about what Roku said and to pass it on to the guys. He agree to it and then we just hang out for a little more before walking to Andy's house. His house was closer and Roku wanted to walk pass Chris house to see if he was home.

As we walked past his house, we seen him up in his room on the phone. He seem to be yelling but we couldn't tell what he was saying. When he seen us, if looks could kill and that soon the lights went off in his room and he was gone. We walked to Andy's house and down to the den, he was there writing again. It was a new song and I wonder what it was about. Roku sat on the sofa and I walked over to him.

"What you up to, another new song?" He looked up at me before going back to writing.
"I just thought of a song, something about what's going on right now. I heard him fighting with his parents when I came home. Something about that he needs to stop pushing us away and let us help him because we are the only ones that want to be apart of his life no matter what happen back at home. He told them to fuck off and run into the house. His dad seen me and came over telling me that he's sorry how Chris been treating us, and then his mom said it's better if we just stay away from him." He sighs and closes his eyes. Something really told me that this was all really bad.

"We do what they say, we act as if he's not here that it's just us again. It's better that way. I know you wanted a drummer for your band but maybe be better to just work with the guys we have and get at least a few songs done. We aren't getting any younger." I smiled at him.

"Don't worry, the others agree to it. That it's just bes to go back to how things where." He went back to writing where Roku and I sat down and watched movies. Today was a really insane day and I didn't really know what to do anymore. We could only hope for the best of everything but that day we all agreed to one thing. Chris wasn't around and we were still in a world without him.
