TW: mention of SA and r@pe
"dylan what are you doing here" i asked frantically pushing away.
"what do you mean what am i doing here you can only go out when i say so" he grabbed hold of my arm so tightly i was going to cry.
"dylan please your hurting me" i cried. he dug his nails in for me to stop crying and dragged me out of the club. no one followed not even harry, didn't he care that i was getting pulled out of the club crying.
we were just out back. when a sharp pain smacked across my face. he was back to his old ways again.
"Celeste what do you think your doing hanging out with them your with me" he shouted. i couldn't look at him. he took his hand and wrapped it around my neck choking me. he wouldn't let go. my breathing got slower. only muffles could come out my mouth.
"dylan please" i whimpered and he released.
"YOUR JUST A WHORE, A STUPID FUCKING WHORE" he spat at me and legged it getting away before anybody could come to see if i was okay. but no one did. nobody came. not a single soul. so i ran. god knows where. but i went.

i have no idea where i was. there was a bench which was unoccupied but it was 1.00am. i sat down and cried. why was dylan here? why did nobody come to find me?
dylan was my ex from 3 years ago. he used to get drunk all the time and when he used to get home he assaulted me. punching, slapping and one time he raped me. i never could be asleep when he came back i could never live with myself if he did it to me again. i stayed up every night to see him, getting punched bruises everywhere. i didn't want to be him little punching bag i had to get away.
so then one night i had it when he went out for dinner i ran. i couldn't be there anymore i had to get away, and that's when i met faith. she was going for a jog and saw me sat alone crying. she came over and offered support and just like that we were best friends. she took me in whilst i was a stranger yet she still doesn't know about what he did to me. and i wished she had came and helped me again tonight.
i have no idea how long i had layed there on that bench for but the sun was rising. i sat up and walked a little bit, it was going to be a nice day. i came across a load of people, people giving me death stares. and then i realised i was still in the outfit i was in last night. the one that harry was going to rip off me. but that never happened.
"CELESTE IS THAT YOU"
i turned around and they all were. my friends. they had been looking for me i was just to focused on myself to notice. and that's when i collapsed.

harry's pov from the earlier night to celeste collapsing:
we were just waiting for faith,Ethan and celeste. and there she was in her beautiful short red dress, she looked gorgeous. i was about to go talk to her but she got dragged inside by freya so we all just followed. she looked so stunning on the dance floor her hips moving to the music.
i went up to the bar and was going to get her favourite drink. but when i turned around she was gone. i was only there for 5 minutes max where was she. i needed to see her. i walked back over to the group.
"guys where's cel?"
"i don't know she just walked out with a guy, good for her" jj smirked.
"what do you mean she walked out with i guy" adding a little tone to my voice.
"harry calm down she'll be fine its just a guy" vikk put his hand on my arm, but i shook it off.
"what did he look like?"
"uh brown hair, muscly, covered in tattoos so basically the opposite of you bog"
no no no it couldn't be, it was dylan.
"who has a car i need you to drive me looking for her?" i asked frantically looking to everyone sat down.
"harry what's wrong, whats wrong with cel" T asked
"i think it's her ex dylan he used to assault her, she had to run away and maybe he's came to take her back"
"we've got to find her then" faith jumped up quickly and ran out of the club followed by the others.

me faith and ethan were the only ones still outside looking for her, the rest had gone home. i was loosing hope, i couldn't lose her. she meant everything to me and i couldn't see her leave me.

we were just about to lose hope but then we saw her staggering along the path crying.
"CELESTE IS THAT YOU" i shouted. she turned around, it was her. she gave a small smile then collapsed. my heart was beating so fast and ran over to her.
"cel can you here me please, you can't go. celeste please wake up" i shook her trying to get her to wake up but she wouldn't. faith and ethan came running over.
"cel please, i'm so sorry" i whispered in her ear. i took her hair in my fingers and started running it through them getting it out of her face. i wiped away her excess tears, her smudged makeup and then kissed her cheek. she couldn't go, i needed her. we all did.
i picked her up slowly and walked over the car and laid her down on the backseats. faith sat in the back and started combing her hair through her fingers whispering stuff in her ear that none of us could hear. ethan drove to the hospital as fast as he could without getting a speeding ticket.

she was in there. the hospital room full of doctors and nurses. i paced around the waiting room i couldn't bare seeing her like that. it was as though she was dead. faith came up and stood next to me.
"harry please eat something we all need to be there for her when she wakes up, you can't be in a hospital bed yourself" she was right i had to be there when she woke up. my perfect girl who wasn't even mine yet laying on a hospital bed with doctors and nurses surrounding her.

it has been two hours and nothing has been said, i was annoying all the doctors and nurses that came out of that room i just needed her to be okay. jj and vikk arrived and sat down next to me for support. i needed them.
"harry, you need to sleep please we will call you if anything else happens. we promise." vikk said with concern. i knew they were right but i couldn't let her go i needed to see her.
a doctor walked out of her room so i ran over.
"are you harry lewis?"
"yes, yes i am" i replied quickly stuttering.
"she's going to be fine, she collapsed because she was dehydrated due to low blood sugar levels, she can go home tonight"
"thank you so much, may i go see her?"
"of course just walk straight in"

i turned back around and told faith, Ethan, vikk and jj that cel was going to be okay.
"thank you goodness oh my god take care of her harry" ethan said to me. did they know we were kind of seeing each other?
"i'm gonna go see her, she's awake now" i turned away from them and walked towards the door. there she was my perfect girl.
"harry, your here" her voice was barely a whisper.
"of course i'm here cel, i need you"
"i am so sorry i shouldn't off went but he hurt" she sniffled whilst letting out a few tears.
"cel, please don't cry" i wiped her tears away and placed my forehead against hers.
"cel, i'm in love with you..."

EEK so this is the longest chapter i've ever written but other people have wrote longer. this subject about abusive ex's is extremely personal to me, if anything like this has happened to you i'm begging for you to speak to someone. even if it's only small details about it. everything will be okay in the end and that's a promise. i love you all so much and if you ever need anything i'm here <3 bye for now lovies
