Zayn didn't say anything. I can tell that Liam or Harry is going to say something so I walk downstairs hoping they will just change the subject because they see that I'm here now instead of just listening to them. 

"Erin are you h-hurting yourself" Harry says turning his head to look at me

"N-no" I say tugging down on my sleeves to make sure they are down

"Can you please show me" Liam says

"N-no" I say backing away a little bit

"Why won't you show me" Liam says

"You s-scare me" I say

"W-what" Liam says

"I told you Liam. You scare her because your aggressive towards her" Zayn says

"Hey now's not the time. Erin come sit down with us" Louis says patting the couch next to him

As I'm sitting down Niall walks down the stairs and comes to sit with us. I guess he wanted to get away from all the yelling as well. Once Niall sits down they try talking to me.

"Okay Erin. We just want you to open up with the five of us and tell us what has been going on and where you went when you ran out of the house" Zayn says

"I don't k-know if I c-can" I say

"It's okay. You can trust all of us. We just want to help you" Zayn says

"Okay umm. I guess I could start off by letting you know what happened at my last foster home" I say

"That will be a good start" Zayn says

"Okay well you know that I moved in here with you guys rather fast after my last home. I wasn't actually supposed to leave that day. Before I was picked up my foster father r-raped me. He would beat me and didn't care what I did unless I filled his needs for him" I say looking down at my socks 

"I'm so sorry Erin" Louis says placing his hand in mine

"I was in my room when Zayn walked in and found me cutting myself. I just felt so low and depressed that I also told him I wanted to die. I ran away and when I ran I found an alleyway and hid there. I was sitting on the ground crying until these two men came up to me and one of them raped me behind this store. I didn't know what to do but I found a piece of glass and cut myself again" I say crying

"It's okay love. Please don't cry" Zayn says sitting down next to me

"That's not all" I say looking at him

"You can tell us. I know you can" Zayn says and then kisses my forehead

"I'm anorexic. I haven't eaten a full meal in months" I say

"Oh Erin. We are really sorry" Louis says
