*Louis'POV*

"Grow up!" I yell. I regret the words the moment they leave my mouth.

"LOUIS!" Liam yells at me. Aurora jumps up and runs up to her room. My face falls. What have I done? I run my hand through my hair and push away from the table. I head upstairs, walking past Aurora's room. I hear her crying on the other side of the door. My heart splits in half and I contemplate going in and comforting her. I decide against it. I've already done enough damage. I go into my room and absentmindedly slam my fist into the wall, making a hole. I groan and my bed stand. I fall backwards onto my bed, thinking of the day's happenings. Everything was going fine until I got that call.

*Flashback*

Bringgg ringgg ringg ringgg. My phone rings out. I press the answer button, seeing the caller is Eleanor.

"Hey" I say into the phone.

"Louis, I'm sorry. I have to tell you this. No can't take it anymore. I am so sorry but I'm not in love with you anymore. I found someone else and I.... I just can't be with you anymore. I'm sorry." She says.

"what? Oh, hahaha. That's funny Eleanor. Funniest prank ever." I say, trying to make myself believe my own words.

"Louis, this isn't a prank. I-I'm sorry." She says.

"Eleanor? Elle? Eleanor!" I yell into the phone, only to be greeted by a dial tone. I feel my heart shatter into a million pieces.

*flashback over*

I try to convince myself it wasn't real. It couldn't have been real. Could it?

*Liam's POV*

Louis stomps away from the table and I immediately hop up to check on Aurora. I go up to her room and hear her sobs from outside. I slowly twist the doorknob, only to find it locked.i knock softly, for no answer. I knock louder and louder until I am practically knocking the door down. I begin to get extremely frustrated. What if she's hurt? What if something happened? What if she ran away? Next thing I know, the door has come off of its hinges. I glance at the now disconnected door in my hands. I guess those days at the gym paid off.

I set it down in the hall and walk inside of her room. I am greeted by her body lying in a bloody mess on her bed. My eyes grow wide and I rush over to her. I carefully turn her over and see her wrist. I gasp at the sight of 20 or more slashes up and down her arm. My eyes glance to the door to the washroom wide open and a bloody razor blade is thrown carelessly in the sink.

I quickly cleanse out her cuts and wrap her arm in a wet towel. I apply pressure to stop the bleeding. When it stops bleeding, I change out the towel and toss the other one in the hamper.

Anger rises in my veins as I realize that Louis did this to her. He made her do this. Why would he say something like that? He knows she'a fragile enough. Why would he test her? I stomp up to his room and barge through the door.

"Louis! What were you thinking? Ever since that call this afternoon, you've been acting different. What is going on?" I yell.

"Eleanor... She broke up with me." He whispers. I run my hand through my hair, calming down slightly.

"Lou, I get that your hurt but you can't take it out on Aurora. She... She isn't stable enough to handle being yelled at." I say. His head pops up.

"What happened?" He asks.

"Well," I start. He runs past me to Aurora's room before I can answer him.

*Louis' POV*

I run into her room, ignoring the decapitated door. I see Aurora lying on her bed asleep. Her facial expression is bad enough. She looks... Hurt. I gulp when I see her arm wrapped in a towel. Do I really want to know?

I shakily unwrap her arm, closing my eyes. I gather up my courage and open them up. I see slashes all up and down her arm. I instantly break down into tears. I did this. I did this to my baby girl. I'm an awful father. I gently kiss her arm. The tears continue to steam down my face.

"I'm sorry baby. I'm so so sorry." I whisper
