Duck Tape Girl

Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Rachael's POV

I can't believe I blacked out. And in front of my idols. I hope I didn't hurt them. If only there was someway I could remember what happened during the blackout. What makes me so upset is that I thought I had it under control. I hadn't had a blackout in over a month. So I decided that crying was going to help get rid of some of the disappointment I held for myself.

I felt my chest tighten as arms wrapped around me. As my face is pressed to a chest my nose tingles as I inhale the inviting cologne. Then I feel the hands on my back moving up and down and a shushing sound as if that will help stop my crying. And as I took in another breath of cologne I realized that it was working. I barely had any tears running down my face and barely hiccuped since I was hugged. I was always told that hugs show all the emotion that the eyes can't. But I still had no clue whose warm embrace I was in. I looked up and and saw Liam's face full of concern as he kept rubbing my back.

As I pull away from his soothing grip, I notice that Niall is looking at Liam in a weird way. But since I have no clue with guys and their emotions I just shrugged it off.

"Thank you" I say quietly. Liam just nods and turned his face as he blushed.

"How long was it?" I asked a little louder.

"About ten minutes." Lauren said

"Anyone hurt?" I ask afraid of the answer

"nothing serious" Sammy stated

"how bad and who?"

"just a couple bruises nothing to worry about" Sammy said not wanting to upset me but he in-turn did the opposite.

"who." I demanded.

"I think I got the worst of it" I heard from behind me. I turned to see Liam holding out his arms with small hand shaped bruises on his wrists. I went pale, this time because I had hurt someone during my blackout. My eyes started to tear up again.

"No, please don't cry he's okay," Niall spoke up,"see?" he points to Liam.

"No he's not" I say as the first tears start to spill over again. I am about to fall to the floor when Liam grabs my forearm. He places his hand on my cheek and wipes away the tears.

" Don't worry about me, I'm fine. It doesn't even hurt" he said and obviously the second part was a lie and it made me smile to know that he tried to lie to make me feel better.

"ok, can I make up this up to you guys?" I ask

"only if you feel up to it you hit your head pretty hard when you fell" Niall said sweetly.

"I'm fine.... is the zoo ok?" I ask and the boys all nod their head.

"ok So the zoo after school " I said confirming it in my head.
