CHAPTER 5

   I woke up to light shining in my eyes through the window. I groaned when I realized I was, in a disgusting bed, in a stuffy room. My eyes gazed around the room, every bed was empty, and talking and laughter came from the kitchen door. Memories from earlier flooded in my head, making my head ache. I slid out of bed with a hand on my head, and over to the windows. I slowly unlocked it and threw it open releasing chirping birds, the laughing of children, and the sound of wind rushing through trees to filter through the screen. I smiled when I saw Jesse and Hunter chase each other from one side of the barbed wire fence to the other.

"Julia?" A little voice asked. I spun around and saw the little blue eyes of Emma.

I crouched down to her level, "What can I do for you?" I asked with a smile.

"Normally Brittany helps me pick out my clothes... But she won't leave Thomas ." I whinced when she mentioned Thomas, but I let out a laugh to cover up my pain and nodded, slipping my hand into hers, leading her to the closet.

"Wanna pick out my clothes?" I said with a laugh and she nodded gleefully without hesitation.

I scanned through the little shirts, and sundresses that were hanging up, that seemed about her size. I found an adorable yellow jumper, with a daisy on the front. I snatched of the hanger and give it to her. She then ran to the section where my size is and grabbed some random things of shelves handing them to me. She grinned and skipped to the bathroom to get dressed. I scanned over the things the picked out for me. Well lets just say she grabbed two pairs of pants... I laughed out loud and set the bright green ones down and kept the light pink in my hands and seacge for something to go with it.

Just as I finished slipping on the navy blue over sized shirt and super skinny, light pink pants, the door flew open. I spun around to see a shirtless Liam (obviously he just woke up) in the door way, eyes wide, a look of terror plastered on his face.

"You," He said with a low, deep, and threatening voice. I cringed realizing I would have to tell everyone what happened. When I let my mouth fall open, he took a few intimidating steps forward. "Now Julia!" He says voice rising with anger. "I walk into the living room to find Jesse. But instead of him, guess who I found on the freaking couch!?!" He yells in anger then continues, pacing around, "Thomas! A Beaten'. Bloody. Thomas." He paused letting out a deep breath before going again. "Kendall comes out to get some breakfast and she went all 'I'm sorry we didn't tell you last night!' And when I tried to get her to tell me what happened wanna know what she said!?" I cringed she probably said that it was my fault, and now Liam is going to hate me. But it is, so it would be no lie. "She said that Hayden came in and she ran to get her little syringe. Are you the reason he is like this?" He ended quietly.

"Yes," I respond quietly.

Liam runs his hand through his hair angerly. "I don't know how to respond to this," he snaps at me reminding me of Brittany. He takes a few deep breathes before adding, "Why?" He glared at me sharply, not letting me move a muscle.

"I went to get some water, Brittany and Thomas were outside, so I joined them," I said slowly so Liam could understand every word, "Brittany and I had a little disagreement so Thomas came in to comfort me. But Hayden arrived all drunk and started beating the crap out of Thomas and whispered something in his ear. Then he threw him on the ground and started to use his belt. I tried to save him, I really did" I tried to argue at him, my voice rushing.

Liam, still furious, walked over to the wall of the closet. He banged his head before letting out a punch to the wall. "You really tried?" He said with a disgusted tone through his panting with his hand still in the wall ," if you really tried Thomas wouldn't be half dead you son of a bitch!" Liam ripped his hand out of the wall and crept toward me. I could feel his hot breath in my ear. "No one has ever gone that low. You disgust me." he whispered harshly. Without any word, Liam stormed out of the room, hand bloody from his punch.
