2 weeks later...

It has been weeks since I've left my room, and a few days since I got out of bed. Louis hasn't stopped by my room. He's busy and he is still hesitant to see me. I missed my old life I now know why my parents kept me hidden. The world is a dark and cruel place.

"Aislyn you need to get up" I whisper to myself

I take a few minutes to slowly get out of my messy bed. I tiptoed across the cold marble floor to the bathroom. My bruises now faded almost completely. Even with the bruises gone I looked horrible. I don't blame Louis for not wanting to see me. I brush through my hair slowly and carefully. I needed to get out of this room, but I was still so scared to face everyone. Yes I've talked to Lia a couple times, but I haven't seen Zayn or Louis.

I step into the shower and let the water rain down. I work the strawberry shampoo into a nice lather before washing it out. I couldn't torture myself for much longer. Yes I'll always feel disgusted with myself, but that what he wants and I can't let him have his satisfaction. I will put on a strong facade where ever I go.

After drying myself off and getting dressed I slowly peak my head out of the door and see no one. I step out and take a deep breath before walking any further. I head to the library and grab City of Bones off the shelf and read it carefully. I hear the door open and close quietly.

"Hey stranger" a familiar raspy voice chirps

"Louis" I reply closing the book

"Haven't seen you in awhile" he states

"I know.. Sorry needed some me time"

"It's fine, I was busy with Zayn working with an agreement with Australia"

I cringe and the mention of his name. No do not cry Aislyn stop! I take a few deep breaths and smile. He looks at me with a worried expression.

"You ok?" He asks

"Yes..I uh need to pee!" I rush past him and run off to the farthest door I could find, which happened to be the gym. I was alone again. I grab the worn down red boxing gloves and picture Zayn as the punching bag. I threw punches and kicks letting out all my bottled up anger. This horrible man has ruined my life, and he couldn't care less.

I scream and dropped to the floor. He broke me and I let him break me. I cry yet again giving up my strong facade. Once Louis found out what happened he would hate me more and just think I deserved it.

"Aislyn?"

I turn and see Liam standing above me. I quickly wipe away my tears and shoot up quickly. I quickly think of an excuse before he fishes the truth out.

"I uh hurt my hand"

"Your hand looks pretty fine.. I can smell a lie miles away" he smirks

"Liam it's nothing"
