Flipped

Goodbye...

Danielle's Pov

*one week later*

I paced frantically around my room my hand gripping the scars. I couldn't breathe. I heaved in my breaths and rocked my body back and forth on my bed. I don't want to be here anymore. I'm done. I'm gone. My phone rang- harry. I let it ring. Another text from Morgan, "do it or I swear I'll post the video" My heart beat ripped through me. I pulled out my laptop. I knew I had to do this.

"Im sorry. Please don't think it's your fault. It's mine. I just I guess I'll tell you the truth now. Morgan has been bullying me ever since we got to school and I'm not sure why everyone hates me but now I think I hate myself too. You were the only friends that have ever been here for me I love you. But right now I just don't see a reason for crying alone anymore. Or really breathing. Please forgive me." I slammed the laptop and burst into tears. There it was. The video was sent.

Harry's Pov

My phone buzzed in my pocket. I opened the video and watched it. Shit. Shit. I ran out the door, the wind blowing through my hair. I jerked up on the handle on Danielle's door- locked.
"DANIELLE" I screamed. I stood back and slammed into the door, it broke open a little and I managed to get in. "DANIELLE" I skid up the wooden steps my feet slipping out inside their socks. It made it harder for me to reach Danielle. It felt like I was slipping away.

I grabbed my keys and ran until I couldn't feel my feet anymore. I swung open the door and heard rustling upstairs. My heart pounded in my ears. This can't be happening. I jerked to a stop when I reached her room-my feet went numb. Harry was half way out the window, pulling at Danielle's feet. He jerked her inside and she yelped in his grip. I ran over and closed the window.

"NOOO" each word she said ripped a whole through me. "I WANT TO DIE NOO" My heart shattered each time she would say "die" I understood, I can't blame her. She's been through so much, let her be free. She needs to be who she wants to be, but she isn't going to leave. She sobbed in Harry's chest on the floor. He held his grip on her and stroked her hair. I closed my eyes. My hand covered my mouth as I slid back against the wall, every muscle inside me trembling. My heart sped up as my body ached. I never felt like this before. Maybe this is how Niall felt when I cheated on him. I shouldn't be comparing to that, but the thought of it- every time kills me. Niall now ran into the room, his face bright red and puffing out air. He stood frozen, Looking back and forth at Harry and then me. I stood up and tried pacing my breathing but it got worse. It felt like I was trapped in a nightmare and I was getting chased by a guy and I was running out of breath. I felt a tight grip around me. His arms wrapped around me and I stood in his arms shaking and crying.

After what seemed like forever, we finally left Danielle to have a minute alone. But I made her promise she would stay at my place tonight. I flung myself up against the wall and listened to her just be safe.

Isabella, Harry and Niall were all sleeping. How could they sleep? But I guess this is what pain does to you. It wakes you up. I need to go. Im tired of people stopping me. I scribbled a quick "I love you" on a piece of paper and slipped out the door unnoticed. The cold wind smacked me in the face as I walked into the night.

Before I knew it I was back at my window. I slowly climbed out and pulled myself onto the roof above me. Its not the video anymore. It's not Morgan. It's just me. And I couldn't live with myself anymore. I am alone. Lonely. I turned around and climbed higher onto the roof. I paused for a moment. Like I was waiting for someone to come and stop me. My feet kept moving. I stopped at the edge my feet not bearing to move another inch. The wind came harder now, tears streaming down my face. My heart beat pounded in my ears, until it was the only thing I could hear. One foot was off the edge. This is it. I closed my eyes and saw myself falling. Flying along with the world. But then I realized something. I don't want to die.

*Note this isn't major, but if you don't want to read it, skip to next chapter.*

My eyes jerked open, my feet wobbling a little on the concrete roof. I heaved in big gulps of air. Puffing it out until my face was bright red. My cheeks were pooled with tears and my voice numb. I quickly ripped my feet away from the edge when there was a loud crack. The floor beneath me crumbled and I fell slowly with it. I saw people running out of their houses trying to stop me from the fall. I heard a loud screaming, piercing through my ears. And I realized it wasn't them- it was me. Screaming because that's what we humans do. Because we are helpless. Regretful. Stupid. I looked up and suddenly I saw him as the wind wrapped around me. "JOHN" I wailed. Then I hit the concrete beneath me.....
