Looking around I saw all eyes on me. I exhaled probably more loudly than I needed, but this was it. I could tell my story, but I'm sure that nobody here cares. There is a chance they really do care about me, but when you've gone through half the shit I have it's hard to think anyone can care about you.

"Look I hate to say this, but as a kid I lived with a different family," I said. "I got taken out of this house I lived in because of my siblings and parents."

"I got taken out of that house when I was 13, but before then it was hell. I was sexually assaulted by my dad everyday, and my brothers use to join in as well. My mom used to abuse me, and my sister just left me there,"

"I got severely depressed. One day I tried to actually like end everything, but my best friend found me and I got taken into hospital care. After that everything came out. I got put into foster care where I met the family I'm with now. They adopted me, and I'm thankful for the house I'm living in. I have a nice house and a decent family to live with. Hey at least their not drug dealers," I said laughing about the last part. Soon enough I felt multiple pairs of arms wrap around me. I was starting to freak out and feeling a bit claustrophobic.

"Okay back up claustrophobic people," I said laughing. Soon enough everyone let go and Ashton's hoodie kept me warm.

"We're sorry for making you tell that," Luke said.

"Yea I feel like a complete dick now," Calum said.

"I can't believe I never knew," Riley said.

"So all this times you had anxiety attacks and panic attacks. It was all because of your biological family?" Jackson asked.

"And so that's why your always so sad. I can't believe I never knew," Collin said.

"I'm sorry about making you say it seriously," Michael said.

"Guys!" I shouted finally getting to say something. "It's cool. Don't feel bad. It was going to come out sooner or later, better now than with the wrong people. And I never told anyone but you guys so that's why no one ever knew."

"I'm going to go use your bathroom," I said.

"Okay," Luke said.

I walked away from the group. The farther I got from the fire the colder it got. I soon stepped inside the heated house and felt the warmth hit my skin. I walked down the hallway to the bathroom and used the bathroom.

As soon as I finished washing my hands I walked out of the bathroom and basically straight into Ashton.

"Oops I'm sorry I really have to start paying attention to where I'm walking," I said.

"No it's okay," he said. "Hey you want to watch a movie and get out of the cold. I was planning on heading to my room and I know your cold out there so..."

"Yea it sounds great," I said cutting him off. I could tell he was awkward asking that question. I followed him through his house to his room. I stood there as he put a movie in. He jumped on his bed and patted the spot next to him.

"Come sit down. I don't bite," he said.

I sat down next to him in his bed and paid attention to the screen. Soon enough my eyelids felt heavy, and I shut my eyes to blink; but I fell asleep instead.

I woke up this morning feeling a pair of arms wrapped around my head. I could hear someone's heart racing, and I could feel the warm breathe of someone as they breathed out.
