Tangled in Warped

Chapter 6

Venus POV...........................................

I look over and see winter standing at the end of the pool. Everyone is staring at her and at first I didn't know till I got a good look. She has scars all over her stomach and upper thighs. I start to feel sorry for her and I want to know why she would do that. I mean I have done it in the past but nothing like that. She gets in and stands in the corner. I see Justin swim over to her. I let them be.

"Hey Venus" I hear Kellin yell. I look at him. "Can you come join me over here in the corner I wanna ask you something" he smiles. I don't know if I should feel scared or not. I swim over to him.

"Hey what's up" I say trying to act casual.

"So um I've been meaning to ask but would you like to go on a date with me" he says giving me the cheekist smile he could make. My inner fangirl activates.

"Yes I will" I say as calmly as I can. He smiles and hugs me.

"Andy" I hear someone yell. I look over and see Winter out of the pool. Andy walks over to him. They talk about something and he points at Justin and motions for him to go into the house. Justin does just that and andy follows. I wonder what's going on. I wave Winter over to ask. She comes and sits at the edge with her feet in the pool.

"Hey what's all that about" I ask. Kellin stands next to me with his arm around my waist.

"Oh he found out Justin asked me on a date and now he's having a "talk" with him" she says. Kellin nods. Winter lifts an eyebrow when she notices kellins arm around me. I gave her a look saying tell you later. She nods. I take this moment to ask her about her scars.

"Hey can I ask you a personal question" I say.

"Yeah sure" she says looking at me.

"Why" I say pointing at her tummy.

"Well I started in 8th grade because of being bullied. It was like my escape. It got worse when my parents died. I went into a really bad depression and that made the bullying worse. Andy and Ash tried to get me help but there was nothing they could have done. When I met Calum about 2 and a half years ago everything changed. He made me happy again. I stopped once we started dating. But now that he's gone I don't have that feeling of happiness anymore. When I got that text I wanted to cut but Ashely saved me." She says not looking at me. I want to help her.

"Listen I've been where you are *shows her my cuts* I want to help you. If you ever feel like cutting call me or text me I will be your razor just please promise me you won't do it" I say. I feel like this girl is my family already and I don't want her to be hurt. She looks at me and gives a weak smile.

"Thank you you are really amazing I'm glad we met I've never really had a girlfriend before I've always hung around with my brother and his friends" she says smiling.
