He Finds Your Scars

Y/N

A month had passed since you'd been on tour with your best friends from Bring Me The Horizon and so far you'd gotten away without getting dressed in front of them. You weren't prudish, you'd known the guys for years and Oli and you grew up together and had seen each other naked before 'as friends'. But you had a secret you couldn't share with anyone.

It was safe to say the guys hated your boyfriend, you assumed it was because no one would ever be good enough for you but little did you know how deep the hatred ran between them. Your boyfriend at first didn't mind that your close friends were guys, and when they were around he'd joke around and laugh with them. However, as months passed he started to get jealous whenever you mentioned their names and was strict on when you could see them.

One night you questioned what his problem was and he slapped you. It took you by surprise because he'd never lifted a finger against you. He apologised and told you how sorry he was and like an idiot you forgave him, it just meant you had to wear more concealer.

As more time passed he started to abuse you more often, he'd drink and accuse you of cheating. Then he'd push you to the floor and kick and punch you until you were a bleeding mess on the floor. Due to your clumsiness, you managed to convince Oli and the guys that you fell over and they believed you.

The abuse then turned into your boyfriend holding you down and cutting your arms and legs, he knew you'd done this in the past so no one would question the scars. He would even take his belt and whip you across the back until the skin cut and you started to bleed. Every night you cried yourself to sleep and just wanted to end it all.

When Oli asked you to come on tour with him and the guys you jumped at the opportunity much to your boyfriend's protest. You packed your bag and left the house when he was blackout drunk.

*1 MONTH LATER*

Your back still hurt from the abuse it had taken for the last couple of months. You'd waited for the guys to leave the tour bus before you pulled your top off and started to apply cream to soothe and heal the scars.

You hadn't heard the tour bus door open because you were humming Drown under your breath as you rubbed the cream into your skin. Behind you, someone swore and you froze before dropping the cream and tried to get your top back on.

"What the fuck Y/N. Who did this to you? Was it that sorry excuse of a boyfriend?"

You turn to face Oli with tears threatening to spill from your eyes; you nod your head weakly and sniffle as you shuffle on the spot. This wasn't supposed to happen, no one was meant to see your scars, especially your best friend.

"He's been doing it for months Oli. I tell myself I don't deserve it but then he gets in my head and I know all this is my fault."

"Fuck Y/N none of this is your fault."

Next thing you know Oli has his arms wrapped around you and the tears start flowing, it was good to get this off your chest. He pats your back and just lets you cry.

"You're not going back to that sick bastard Y/N. After this tour is over you're moving in with me. No one will hurt you again."

You can't help but sniffle, no one really got to see this protective caring side of Oli and it reminded you why you kept your friendship going all these years. He cared for you as did the rest of the guys, and if he promised no one would hurt you then you trusted him.
