*****************************************************************************************************

Isabell's POV:

It had been over a week. Now that I was safe at home it was possible. After watching a little t.v. with Dani and Liam I snuck away to my room and turned on my music. "Until You're Mine" by Demi Lovato started. There was no reason I could imagine for them to worry. After spending the past few hours holding everything in it all poured out of me. I couldn't control it. Only one thing could calm me down. Crying, struggling to catch my breath I dug deep into my bag. The razor blade I kept in my wallet was right where I left it. Taking a deep breath I quickly sliced one more thin line into my wrist. I let the burn take over for a moment. My guilt drained out of me with the blood that was released. Just enough to feel almost alright. "Shit." I whispered to myself. I was so worked up I never thought about how to clean it up. I couldn't run to the bathroom without causing a commotion. Sighing to myself I grabbed an old sock. The bleeding didn't take long to stop, and luckily the floor was wood. There wasn't very much to clean so I just used the same sock, then stashed it under the bed to worry about later.  I was still crying but I just climbed into my bed. Avril Lavinge's "Wish You Were Here" played and the sobs began again. I felt myself slowly drift away while singing to no but me.

Liam's POV:

"Liam." Dani called quietly. "Liam you should come back here." I went down the hallway to Isabell's doorway. Dani tucked her farther in and shut off the music.

"She's gonna be a good mum someday." I thought to myself. Then I realized the reason she called me back. Iz was crying in her sleep.

Dani sat on the couch with me. It was only six and Iz had cried herself to sleep. The worst part was we didn't even know she was upset.  "I just don't understand." I told Dani. "She seemed so happy. Quiet, but happy."

Dani scooted closer and held my hand. "I know. I think she has a crush on Niall." She giggled, making me laugh.

"I know Niall has a crush on her."

"Did she ever tell you why she came here?"

"Not really. Iz said it had been to long sense we've seen each other and she has always wanted to see London. Both are true, but I know that's not it. There is one thing Ruth told me.?

"What?" Dani looked at me quizzically. I could tell she was worried about Isabell.

"She told me to keep an eye on her. That Iz got into some trouble about six months ago."

"What happened?" Dani asked, looking a little shocked. 

"She started going to parties. That's not the bad part really. Well she had been seeing a boy for a long time. One night they both ended up wasted. They decided to go back to her house while her parents were out."

"Come on Liam. That isn't all that bad. Everybody does that."

"No that's not the bad part either. So both of them were drunk and they started driving to her house." That is when Dani made the connection. Her hands flew up to her face and she gasped. "Let's just say he isn't around anymore."

"Oh my god. No wonder she's here then Liam! Would you wanna stay where the person you loved was killed?"

"I know. I'm just a little worried about her. I was hoping Niall would be able to help her."

"Who knows babe? Maybe he will. We just need to give him some time." I layed down in her lap to cuddle. She ran her fingers through mine as we both tried to focus on the movie playing.

Niall's POV:

Zayn left pretty much right after we got back. He said he had a date with Perrie. Didn't bother me one bit. After ordering a pizza I went on youtube. I wanted to know more about this Drew guy. He obviously meant something to Isbell. I wanted to know why. I found a few more of his songs. There was one I especially liked. "Shoot the Stars Down."  By the end I had found fifteen original songs, and ten covers. He had to have been her boyfriend. The question that kept running though my mind was what did he do? What happened? That is when I fund myself watching the "My Girl" video again.  This time I read the description. Some guy named Rickio94 posted it. In the box he wrote, "This is my best friend's last performance. He sang it to the love of his life, Isabell Knightly. RIP man, we all love you." The video was posted on December 26, six months ago. "Oh my god." I whispered to myself. Slowly I came to the realization. Drew is dead. He and Isabell were in love and now he's dead. It made sense now. "Isabell," I said willing her to hear me, "I don't care how long it takes. I want to help you feel better. When you cry I will cry with you."
