*Mia*

"I heard everything." Tony whispered "I'm so sorry."

"What did she say?"

"About your mum leaving and your dad stuff."

"So nothing else?" I asked.

"She didn't say anything about you cutting Mia, don't worry."

Shocked, I turned around to him then saw that his face was slightly red and puffy.

"How do you?"

"I saw blood stains on the sleeve of your jumper and when you were dancing around with Bella outside the roller coaster your sleeve fell down."

"Please don't tell anyone."

"I won't. You can trust me, can I just see the ones on your arm?"

Nervous, I pulled my sleeve down and stared at the mass of scars. Tony gasped slightly and ran his fingers along my thickest ones.

"Some of these are brand new."

"I know." I whispered.

Unexpectedly, he pulled me into a tight hug making me smile at him as he rubbed my back.

"You can always talk to me you know."

Suddenly, the noise of the door opening made us stand up and me pull my sleeve down. "MIA!"

I walked around the side of the bus to see Vic with a worried look on his face. He ran towards me and suddenly engulfed me in a huge hug.

"We're gonna make sure that horrible man never gets near you again okay? You're safe with us."

Feeling yet more tears coming, I buried my face in his chest as he held me tightly. Everyone was waiting at the entrance of the bus watching like I was some museum exhibit.

"Do you all see me different now?"

"Of course not sweetie."

After a few minutes, Tony awkwardly waddled out from behind the van making Vic look up.

"Why was Tony with you?" He questioned, something lacing his voice.

"When all of you were inside he sat with me."

Tony smiled slightly then joined the crowd by the door.

"Do you wanna go out with us to a restaurant tonight?"

"I don't have any nice clothing."

"well then we'll go shopping."

"Okay."

I looked up at him and giggled making him grin.

"We're going shopping for the ladies!" Vic yelled to the group making me laugh and them cheer.

Suddenly, Bella ran over and engulfed me in a hug as well then eventually the whole group did.

Why is someone touching my butt?

I looked up, Jaime.

He smirked making me blush then Vic step in between us. I'm confused.
