Unexpected (Harry Styles Fan-Fiction)

Chapter 11- We Are Family

Song: The Way She Feels by Between the Trees

Angelica's POV

My alarm went off saying 8:00am. I hit the snooze button, turn off the alarm and rub my eyes. I see Char sleeping in her bed, she must have gotten home late last night. I wonder what she did or who she was with. I guess I'll find out when she wakes up. I decided to get up and shower. I had nothing better to do since classes don't start for another 2 weeks. I turn the water to warm and hop in. The water feels amazing on my pale skin. There are times where I wish I didn't have to wash my body. There is a consistent reminder of what I have done to myself in the past. Raised, light pink lines across my wrists and uper thighs. I no longer harm myself but back in middle school and high school it felt for me as if it was the only way out.

Flashback

"PALE FACE!"

"GHOST!"

"ANOREXIC!"

"BITCH!"

"SLUT!"

"WHORE!'

That's what I have been called and more through out school. My only friend was Jamie, well at least I thought she was. She always flirted with the guys that I told her that I liked and ended up dating them. In the end, she was the main person who make me cut. Taking the razor to my skin felt like freedom, I felt relieved. Until...

"Angelica? Are you ok?" my  mother shouted.

"I'm....I'm fine. Just in the bathroom." I shouted back, and I took the razor in my hand and made another slit on my thigh. I think i forgot to lock the bathroom door and my mother came in. I will never forget the look on her face. She was in utter shock and went pale.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! STOP!!" She said kneeling down taking the razor from my hand and throwing it away. The blood kept running from my thighs and wrists when she took the blade from me and all I could do was cry. My mother held me as i bled, and we both cried.

Flashback end

I step out of the shower, grab a towel and dry myself off. I put on my knickers and bra, along with a white cami, black v-neck top and some cute skinny jeans. I left my hair wet so that I could scrunch it. A little bit of mascara and eyeliner and I was done. I walk out of the bathroom to see that Char is still sleeping. Dang this girl can sleep!

After my mother found me that day, she took me to go get professional help. It turns out I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. So I had to take medicine and talk to a shrink for a good two years. I'm still in my meds to keep me sane and I don't cut anymore. I take deep breaths and count to ten forward and backward. I also call my family if I feel that I'm going to have a "moment" we call it. My familiy is my biggest support system. They got me through my worst times and I'm so blessed and thankful that I have a family.

I felt bad for Charlotte who didn't have parents. She just had her siblings and her aunt. No one should have gone though what she went through. But in the end, she became a strong person and based on the photo's on her desk of Joey and Anna, they seem to be happy just as they are.

I was taken out of my train of thought when my phone buzzed. I got a text. I unlock my phone to see it was the guy I ran into the aiport the other day while getting Charlotte.

Guy: Hey! We still hanging out?

Me: Yeah, where am I meeting you?

Guys: I'll get you at your dorm in about 10?

Me: Sounds great! See you then xx

Guy: see you then xx

Him and I have been talking since we met and I'm starting to like him. I think I might have found happiness. Besides having Charlotte in my life now, this guys could be what makes me happy.
