Promises

Via's POV

Matt went to the refrigerator and pulled out an Arizona and then got a bag of chips from the cupboard. He plunked them both down on the table in front of me. I flinched, retreating into myself. Then I cautiously opened the bag of chips, popping one in my mouth and chewing hesitantly. Taylor reached for the bag, but Matt slapped his hand away. "Get your own chips. Those are for Via."

Taylor's POV

I groaned and went to get my own chips. When I sat back down, Via was struggling with the Arizona tab. She handed the can to Matt, but Cam quickly snatched it and opened it. Then he handed it back. She waited until he put the Arizona back down and then continued to drink and eat chips, ignoring Cam. When she was done, she went to Matt and whispered something in his ear. I was next to Matt so I heard what she said. "Um..... Can I talk to you alone?" Matt nodded. They walked out of the room together.

Matt's POV

Via pulled me into her room, and sat down on the bed. "Promise you won't get mad at me?" I nodded. "I could never get mad at you." Her eyes filled with tears. "You know those scars? I gave some of them to myself. I just couldn't take it anymore. I haven't done it since I ran away though. I'm sorry." She curled up in the bed turning her face away from me. "Please don't be mad at me." I touched her shoulder and she flinched. "Via, don't be scared. I won't get mad at you. Do you want to come back downstairs with me, or stay here?" She shook her head. "I'm going to stay here." I started walking to the door. "Okay." Suddenly Via grabbed my arm. "Don't tell anybody. Promise me that. I'll tell them when I feel like it." I nodded. "I promise."

Nash's POV

Matt came back downstairs and seemed really quiet. "Hey, Matt. What's wrong?" He pulled me and Cam aside and whispered urgently, "I need to talk to you guys. It's about Via." The three of us walked over to the editing room. "Guys, Via self harms. She told me not to tell you guys, but I thought that since she's close to you and your the oldest, you guys should know." Suddenly, the door creaked. Via was standing there, tears streaming down her pale face. "Matt, you promised." She said quietly, her voice cracking. Then she ran down the hall, pushing Hayes out of her way.

Via's POV

I ran with only one thought in my mind, to get away from them. He lied to me! I pushed the back door open and ran into the sunshine. It seemed to mock my mood. I planned on running to the front of the house and catch a bus far, far away. As I rounded the corner to the side of the house, a fast blur came out of nowhere, and slammed me into the brick wall. I could feel my back against the cool stone, and even though my vision was blurred, I could feel the rough hands of my attacker holding me tight. Something was forced over my mouth and nose, and I immediately held my breath. I struggled valiantly, but then the mystery person pinched the sensitive part of my hip. I gasped, inhaling in the substance on the cloth, and everything went black.
