Washed (A One Direction fanfiction)(Original)

Chapter 14- Hannah

Today has seriously not been my day. I mean I meet these really nice boys but then I get beat up by John and then get slapped by my father. This is just bad luck. What the fudge. I haven’t had this much bad luck in forever. Not since the James incident. I felt my cheek and it stung. It was bruised and I had a black eye from John already. I guess I got used to it though. My skin is tough from all the beatings I’ve taken. I don’t worry about it though because of my special mermaid powers. Yea, I do abuse it, but hey if you got beaten every time your parents saw you would you do anything to heal yourself?? Yeah. That’s what I thought. I looked to the boys and they were all shocked. I stood up from where my father knocked me down and I pushed him from my way and led the boys to the attic. We had to squeeze through the opening but it was all good. My parents refurbished this place above my bedroom so I could use it for sleepovers and meetings I held with Lulu and James. When I took them up there they all wowed. I guess they were shocked at how big it was. We had a chandelier and couches up there. I had my own private refrigerator. I took out a Dr. Pepper and jumped on my favorite velvet couch. They all stood there like idiots looking at me like lost puppy dogs.

“Sit down you dorks!!” I laughed. It was like they needed my permission to be at home. Harry ran and jumped in the spot next to me with Liam on my other side. They both snuggled real close and I felt awkward. I leaned to Liam and he out his arm around me before Harry could. I could feel the air intensify around me and it gave me a headache.

“There are a few snacks and drinks in the fridge. Help yourself.” I told them. Niall ran to the fridge and got out a Mountain Dew and some beef jerky. Once Niall sat back down I felt the room get awkward. They kept glancing at me and I began to get self-conscious.

“Let’s talk about this tomorrow.” I threw a suggestion out. They nodded and got up. Niall sat there with his jerky and I came and joined him. I accidentally hit the picture of me and James for a dance we went to and the glass broke from the frame. Everyone was gone but me and Niall. He put the jerky down and helped me pick it up.

“Thanks.” I told him.

“No problem.” He said. “Can I ask you something??” He asked after a few moments of silence.

“Suuuureee??” I asked slowly. I was confused on where this was going.

“Who is that guy in the picture??” He asked me. I felt relieved and then the question hit me. All those months of pain and suffering swarmed in my brain and tears came to my eyes.

“He….” I began but didn’t finish. I began to cry and I heard Harry and Liam come back in.

“What’s wrong??” Someone asked me. It was a really deep voice so I figured it was Harry. I pointed to the picture and he picked it up.

“Is that your boyfriend??” He asked appalled.

“WAS.” I corrected.

“You guys broke up?” Liam asked me.

“Yea, about a year ago, I haven’t dated anyone since.” I said still sobbing.  Leaned in on Harry and he rubbed my back while the tears flowed out.

“I’m sorry. It’s just not the conversation I have with people.” I confess. They all nod.

“Can I tell the story when I am less tired??” I asked them. It was already twelve and I was tired. At least tomorrow was the weekend.

“As long as we can talk about your situation.” Harry said. Liam and Niall agreed and they all left. I was on the velvet couch alone. I saw my favorite stuffed zebra on the couch. His name was Ziggy….

FLASHBACK

“I know this is corny, but can I win you that stuffed zebra over there??” 14 year old James asked me.

“YESSS!! I have faith in you James!!” I said in a princess voice. We laughed together and ran to the test your strength contest.

“Will you guys stop flirting and just start dating already.” Lulu said.

“You are so funny Lulu.” I said as I grabbed her arm.

“What??” Lulu asked.

“Shut up!! He might hear you!!” I whispered loudly to her.

“Sorry. I forgot.” Lulu shrugged. I loved her, but she was the worst when it came to secrets. DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! I heard the bell sound.

“Hannah look!! I got you this!!!” James yelled excitedly as he ran over with a cute stuffed zebra.

“OMPancakes!!! Thank you so much!!!” I told him as I ran to give him a hug. He squeezed me tighter than usual and the hug lasted longer than normal.

“Wanna go ride the shaker raker??” I asked James.

“Do unicorns puke rainbows??” James said back. He grabbed my arm and I saw Lulu sit down and pout.

“Coming Lulu?” I asked.

“No. You know I hate scary rides.” She snapped snobby.

“Suit yourself.” I said as I grabbed for James’s hand and we skipped to the shaker raker. I held Ziggy in my arms and James and I watched the fireworks from the top of the tall crazy ride.

FLASHBACK OVER

A tear rolled down my cheek and I held Ziggy close to me just like I did all those sleepless nights and painful memories James had caused me.

That night I couldn’t sleep. I remembered running into the guys and getting beat up. The events of the last two days kept replaying in my head. I began to get the chills. I realized that my window was open. As I went to shut it I saw a figure sitting there on the beach. There was a shirtless boy sitting there looking for someone. He sat there with a glow stick and some candy as an apology. It reminded me of something but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I jumped off my balcony and landed in the sand. I walked over to the boy and I saw a girl come up and slap the boy, and hard. I knew where this was from. GET ME AWAY!!!! I tried to turn and run but I couldn’t. I didn’t want this memory replayed. I didn’t want the pain to return. I remembered the scars on my arms from it, the tears that stained my pillow, all the pain that was inflicted; I didn’t want that to come back. I fought hard against this horrible memory of the last time I ever saw James. That was two weeks ago.
