I'll be your hero

chapter 3

Were those cut marks? Does she cut? No. she cant. 

i leave the room to give her some time to relax and get her stuff situated.  I really hope shes OK. I feel like there is more of her back story that i don't know. I will help her.

I decided that she needed clothes. so i quickly wrote a note that said,

going out. ill be back within the hour. feel free to watch TV, get cleaned up a bit whatever you want. make yourself at home. if your hungry there's food in the fridge and pantry. (closet right next to fridge) see ya :)      x Niall x

I put the note on the table where it was clear to see and made my way out the door. when i got into the car i turned on the radio and Lady Antembellum's song, need You Now came on. I listened to it for a minute and a tear started to well up in my eye. this was the song the me and my ex-girlfriend, Skyler , would listen to, it was our song. I will never forget the day she came up to me and told me she hated me and never wanted to see me again. The next day i saw her hand-in-hand with another guy that i didn't recognize. she obviously never loved me. She broke my heart. i turned the radio off, not wanting to hear or think of it anymore. 

I just drove.

****

I got back to the flat with at least ten bags of clothes, which i hope are her size. I found a note on the table replacing the old one.

Niall, by the time you get home i will be in the bathroom taking a shower or drying my hair if you get home later.  -El

I went into the living room and watched a full episode of Glee (40-45 minutes) and she still wasn't out yet. I started to get really worried. I went to the bathroom and knocked on the door. No answer. 

"Ellie?!" I asked really getting scared. 

"please just leave me alone!" she screamed at me from the other side, her voice cracking. I cant take it. 

i take a few steps back and the run to the door knocking it down. I see her. Sitting there on the floor with her sleeves up, scissors in hand, and blood streaming down her arm. I stare at her, shocked.  I help her up and pull her into the kitchen and have her put her arms in  the big sink. I get a rag and wash her arms down turning the water bright red. i let her use a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants of mine, ill give her her new clothes later.

when she comes back in i am sitting on the couch, staring at the wall. she comes next to me and sits on the other side of the couch. 

"why?" i asked her needing to know.

She seemed very hesitant and looked down at her hands in her lap. 

"please?" I ask again.

she closed her eyes, took a deep breath and started talking. 

"So you know i was kidnapped. I was kidnapped by my sister. She was my best friend so when she did i dies inside. One night i was walking home from my friend Carlie's house. She and her boyfriend came in their truck and snatched me. they took me to an old abandoned house and tied me into a chair into the basement. They had a whip and took turns hitting me. Then they left. I was stuck down alone for what seemed like forever. I tried getting out but it was no use. they tied me so tight. Finally one night some stupid kids came to the house looking for ghosts or whatever. I mean don't get me wrong i was happy they came but they were stupid to come in the first. I screamed for them, hoping they would hear. Luckily they did. They came and untied me. One girl stood in the corner with her hand over mouth, shocked. Once they untied me i instantly fell to the floor. my arms and legs were so numb i couldn't move them. They called 911 and an ambulance came iwth a stretcher. I told all of them thank you so many times before i left. I was in the hospital for about a month before my parents came. they took me 'home' even though it was nothing like home anymore. They didn't speak to me, and made me go to school the very next day. I went scared to death. Right when first hour started it was torture. All the Jokes, Laughing, and especially the hate. So after first hour i ran away. No one ever came looking for me. No one ever cared. Cared about me. They never found my sister or her boyfriend. Today is exactly two years away from when they kidnapped me. So, i cut because my sister hurt me, so for her, i hurt myself."

I cant believe what i just heard. 

"oh my gosh Ellie! I am so sorry! come here." I said reaching out my arms. she came in and embraced me in a huge hug. she started crying and i felt tears form in my eyes. "Please don't ever cut again! I'm here for you." I said to her hugging her tighter. we stayed like that for a while. 

I cant believe that happened to her. 

Ill never let it happen again.

Ill be her hero.
