Maybe We'll Make It After All {Sequel to What If? ~ Louis Tomlinson Fan Fic}

Chapter 38 - Maybe You're Right

Maybe you're right."

She finished as everyone started clapping. I whistled for her as she smiled and got off of the stage. She walked over to me as my instincts pulled her in for a hug.

"Hey beautiful."

I whispered in her ear as we both took a seat in a booth.

"Hey Mikey. I just wanted to thank you for that surprise you left me at home. It was really sweet of you."

She smiled as I wiggled my eyebrows getting a laugh from her.

"And the letter?"

I asked her,

"Yeah, I never thought that you could write like that. It was very sweet. Thanks for letting me know that you cared if I was cutting or not."

I nodded as I looked down to her wrist.

"Are you still cutting or did you stop?"

Her eyes adverted from mine to her nails. I couldn't believe this. I got up and brought her into the boys bathroom and locked her in a stall with me. She was surprised of my actions as I took out a razor.

"Michael? What are you doing?"

She asked me with a hint of fear in her voice as I pulled up her sleeve and looked at all of the fresh cuts. I pulled her sleeve down as I handed her the razor and pulled up my sleeve and pointed my wrists towards her. She gave me a questioning look.

"C-cut me."

I stammered as she gave me an unbelievable look.

"No Mikey."

She said as she tried to push my hand away but I wouldn't let her.

"It hurts so much to know that you're still cutting after all of these years. It's my fault. When you do this it hurts me, so please just cut me instead."

A bunch of tears flowed out of my eyes as I a few slid out of hers,

"Do it Roxy. I can't stand that you're doing it to yourself. Get everything out on me."

She dropped the razor as she wrapped her arms around my waist. I pulled her as close as I possibly could and let her sob into my sweater.

"What happened on the tour that made you so upset?"

I asked as she let go of me slowly to face me. I wiped a few of her tears away with my thumb.

"Louis promised me that he would give me my space and two days after that he posts a picture of us kissing from when we were together and then wrote on twitter that I was pregnant with his baby. I've gotten all sorts of hate from all of these girls telling me I'm an attention whore and that I should die. Louis ruined me Michael."

She said as she slid down the bathroom wall. I sat next to her as I pulled her into my chest.

"Well. You can either see it that way or see it as a challenge. Show Louis that he hasn't affected you. He's not worth your tears. Live you're life the way you want to live it. Stop always thinking "maybe Louis won't like this." Or "I can't do this because I'm upset about Louis." NO! You are a strong woman. Stand your ground. Show Louis what he's really worth. Nothing, that's what he's worth."

I got a little smile out of her as she clinged on to my hand. I smiled because I could feel butterflies in my stomach.

"Thanks Mikey. I'm going to take your advice. Thanks for being there for me."

She hugged me again as I held her in my arms for a while. Until we heard a knock at the door.

"You two can't be in here."

We heard a feminine voice speak as we both got up and unlocked the stall door. We saw an angry looking woman staring at us,

"She was upset, we weren't doing anything in here. I promise."

I quickly said as I held Roxy's hand as we ran out of the bar.

"My gosh I feel like we're such rebels. Well, I was anyways since I was in the boys bathroom, it feels like I'm in high school again."

She said as she swinged our hands in motion.

"Yeah that was fun."

I agreed with her,

"I really miss the guys. I know I've been ignoring you for the past two days but that's only because I was afraid of what you were going to say and you did say it in the stall."

I looked to see that she still wasn't going to stop hurting herself,

"So none of what I said or did for you is even going to push you to do the right thing?"

Roxy sighed as I stopped her,

"You're not going home. I'm bringing you to see the guys and I'll go get Pashmina for you. You're staying with us until we can prove to you that you're worth more than you think you are."

I kept walking with her until she stopped,

"Michael no, I don't want to bother you guys-"

She stopped talking as we noticed the three of them walking towards us.

"Hey, we were coming back from gamestop and we saw you guys."

Luke cheered as Calum and Ashton whispered something to eachother. Ashton nodded his head as we all looked at eachother suspiciously.

"Look guys. Roxy is coming to stay with us for a while she doesn't feel great with rumours going around and hate from 1D fans. We need to take care of her."

I announced as they all smiled and hugged Roxy,

"Guys I'm not staying with you-"

"You sure as hell are going to stay with us. Sleep over at Michael and Ashton's!"

Calum screeched as they all cheered as we ran off to their house.

I don't know about you guys. But I think this is my favorite chapter so far that I've written. I love you all and thanks for being so patient with me. Stay strong lovelies xx.
