Chapter Twenty-One

Niall's POV

“I was there, Niall. I was here when Louis showed you the song. I was standing on the balcony...the entire morning," She whispered resting her head on m shoulder. I inhaled sharply at her words.

"Which means you saw..." I whispered slowly, not knowing what exactly to say.

"Yeah," She whispered picking her head up.

"I'm so so sorry, Skylar. I didn't realize what I was doing. I was drunk. I shouldn't have gotten drunk but I needed to clear my head. I was lost. I needed you there with me, one thing lead to another-" she cut me off by placing her small hand across my mouth.

"I was pissed when it happened and it broke my heart watching it happen, but I forgive you. I know you didn't mean to do it,"

"But...why? I basically cheated on you," I sad sadly, looking nowhere but my palms.

"I know you didn't do it on purpose. I understand that it was the alcohol and not your personal decision. I've been with you long enough to know you would never do something to hurt me intentionally, Niall. I know how upset you were the entire time I was in the hospital. Trust me, I know how broken you were. I saw every bit of it. I know that sleeping with her was a mistake and that it meant nothing to you." She said clasping one hand in mine while the other ran down my cheek. Skylar made me look into her eyes, which were wet with tears begging to spill over.

"I feel horrible," I muttered.

"We all make mistakes, but that's not what concerns me the most,"

Skylar slowly pulled my sleeves up to reveal my bandaged wrists. She twittled with the bandage that began to peel away from my skin.

"Why did you do this?" She whispered bringing my arms to her lips and pressing delicate kisses against the bandages. Tears brimmed my eyes knowing how much pain I caused her inflicting pain on myself.

"I don't know," I whispered. "I wasn't thinking. I guess I just remember you telling me why you had done it, Sky. You said how it felt pleasing to let all that pressure go, all that pain and hurt. I guess I just did it because I thought it would take it away," I choked and it was my turn to cry again. A few tears fell from my eyes and landed on my cheek.

"Awe, baby," She whispered shaking her head. "I know what it's like. I wish you never did it. I was there. I tried everything to get you to stop or to notice my presence that night. I stayed after Louis left because I saw how broken you were after hearing his song. I saw everything, Niall. The songbook, the picture frame, everything. I tried so hard to get you to notice me, but nothing would work. You were so upset that you didn't recognize me at all. When you went into the bathroom and passed out, I even woke up next to you the next morning. I was by your side all night long. Niall, listen to me,” She pleaded again with her hands on my cheeks begging for me to look into her eyes. “It's addicting. You've seen what all it can do. You saw how I was after all those times you found me in the bathroom. You remember how much pain we were both in because of one little action?” I nodded immediately, remembering all those times I found her in the bathroom with a razor in the sink and a cloth on her arm. I told her I'd do anything in order never to find her like that again. “Niall, please promise me you won't ever do it again."
