Beths P.O.V.

The pain was excrutiating, yet it felt calming and nice. A wave of pleasure shook my body and made me shiver as I ran the blade alone my wrist once more, now having 12 letters carved into my left arm. Kill yourself.

I move my right hand to the side, trying to grab the medical bag... Which wasn't there. "Fuck, I left in my suitcase." I muttered to myself. I can just use my jumper!!! I looked around for that, the  realised I didn't wear one today. The blood was leaking heavily now. I've gotta run back to my room while hiding my arm. It isn't that hard!

So I legged it. As fast as I could. And as I burst through the door I came face to face with Jesse and Greg. Uh oh.
"Are you okay Beth, you look pale?" I nodded to Jesse. Yes I'm just losing blood! Perfectly safe. I started wobbling and he helped me sit down. I kept my arms behind my back. Which Greg noticed. "What's that?" He quizzed as he reached for my arm. I shook my head. "Nothing!" I said quickly.

I started wobbling again and this time I fell, being too weak to even sit up straight, I wasn't strong enough to fight Greg off of my arm this time. Gasps came from the two, just as I closed my eyes. Falling into someone's arms.

"She's so gorgeous! I understand if she doesn't like me back but I mean. She's perfect!" It hurt hearing Greg talk about a girl like that. I kept my eyes closed so that he didn't know I was awake.
Another voice chimed in, Jesse, "Beth likes you back!" I heard a sigh, "nah she don't mate" Greg argued.
"The way she looks at you, the smile that you get from her is full of love, she really likes you!" To be honest, I do. He's so cute and kind and handsome, those eyes...

"Ask her on a date for tomorrow. Well, today, it is 4AM. She's been asleep for 10 hours! But-" I shot up, making them both scream like girls. "10 HOURS?!?!?!" I screamed. I burst out laughing at there faces as they tried to calm their heartbeats. Greg smiled at me, he was happy to see me awake.

But then his face fell. "How much did you hear?" I smiled at him, "enough. Jesse, could we have some privacy?" He nodded, "I'm gunna go get some sleep before auditions. Anyway, don't worry about Becca. She slept in Amy's dorm" I nodded and waved goodbye as he left. "Come here." I stated and lifted my blanket, tapping the bed. He slid in beside me and we sat up, placing our heads on the headboard. "I like you. I've never felt this way about anyone except my ex..." I trailed off.

"What did he do?" Greg asked, "pardon?" "What did he do to you?!?!" I looked down, "I was 15 and he was 16 turning 17. He smoked weed and got drunk with his mates everyday and he scared me. He was nice in front of my parents and he was so kind. But when we weren't near my parents, he would beat me. My parents never believed me so I kept it to myself. I'd cover up the bruises with makeup and i'd say I tripped over or something when someone asked me why I had some cuts. If I disobeyed him, he would take his knife and put a cut in my arm. Once Chloe caught him. So he ran. When I broke up with him, my parents went ballistic and kicked me out. Chloe took me in and we threw away all contact with our parents. He stalked me until we came to Barden University. I have a feeling he's looking for me." I whispered the last part.

"The Trebles won't let anything happen. I promise. Now, will you go on a date with me?" He said making me smile.
I looked up at him and brought his lips to mine, "does that answer your question?" I asked as I pulled away. "Hmmm, I don't know, you'll have to try again." I smiled as he kissed me once again.

I rested my head on his chest, falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
