The guilt is building up. I've excluded my self from everyone else, including Niall. They all think I've re- collapsed. And to be honest I don't think I'm far from it. For the past 2 days I have done nothing but eat, sleep, breath and occasionally move. I was currently lying in bed. Everyone else around me was sleeping I could hear their light snores, someone near by was shuffling round with their duvet. I heard their curtains open and walk in my direction probably to go the toilet. With my little bunk light on I carried on inspecting my bruises that Vic had left on my body. Two dark ones on my hip bones, and even bigger ones around my wrists. Their foot steps came close to my curtain but walked straight pass me. They left the toilet a new minutes later and on their way back opened my curtain scaring me.
"He- what are those?" Niall asked pointing to my wrists. I never said anything to him instead I rolled over.
"Grace" he said very sternly. Scaring me slightly but I still never faced him.
"Talk to me" I could tell he was becoming angry and I prayed he would leave me alone.
"Fine. Whatever" he huffed closing the curtain and walking away. I ended up crying my self to sleep that night.
***********
"Come with me" Niall said sternly pulling me up from the sofa.
"I was watching that"
"I don't care" he said still in his serious voice. I saw Louis and Liam look at each other from the side of my eye and they gave each other unknowing looks.
He lead me off the tour bus and towards the venue. He walked to wards the stage wanting the get as far away from people as he could. When we reached the stage he looked around before walking to the very end and sitting down, dangling his legs over the edge. I copied his actions sitting next to him.
"What's going on Charlie - Grace?" He said to me using my full name.
"W-what do you mean?" I said stupidly pulling at my sleeves.
"These!" He shouted pulling my arm over to him and pulling up my sleeve revealing the dark bruises and old scars.
"There Erm, from when I went to Chris's" I lied terribly. It was over 5 months ago that happened.
"Stop bull shitting me! Who done this to you!" He shouted at me yet again.
"I-I can't say" I said shaking my head looking down.
"Are you seeing someone else?" He asked surprisingly calmly.
"No!" I said in a louder voice snapping my head to look at him.
"Then what is it Grace?! I'll help you!"
I need to tell him. But you'll get even more hurt.
I took a deep breath
"Wh-when you were at sound check the O-other day one of the gua-"
"What's going on here?" A voice said walking into the venue. He had a devilish look on his face.
"We're kinda busy Vic, can you come back later" Niall said annoyed.
"Just carry on like I wasn't here" he said. Niall looked at me to carry on. I looked between them both panicked and Niall noticed. I think he understood. His balls fisted and he turned red. I quickly put a calming hand on his shoulder begging him not to do anything.
"Come with me" he said angrily. He walked up along the vows of seats until we were on the back wall.
"Tell me now!" He was still red and he looked like he was about to kill a man.
