As Long As You Love Me

As Long As You Love Me *Chapter One*

*Chapter One*

Katie's Pov

Today, today was the day, one whole year since my mother had sadly left my llife and been taken by the angels, i had never felt the same without her, she wasn't only my best friend, but almost like my other half, being only sixteen i still found it difficult to do certain things without her being here to tell me i wasn't doing this and that properly, Mother's day was just a complete nightmare, i missed her so, so much. I had never felt more alone.

Instead i was stuck with this man, this thing that had changed ever since she left, this so called man was my father. Many people have said that he shouldn't be able to take care of me because of how over protective he is and how much he has changed for the worse. I'm not talking about the normal parent protective, i'm talking about serious issues, he's stopped me from having any form of contact with my friends outside of school, he says i shouldn't be going out with them as all i do is just hang around like a bad smell, he tells me i should be working on my school work from home, although i don't have any as i've completed it all in school. The times i've tried to explain this to him, but he just wont listen.

"Katie, im sick of you, always telling me you have no work to do, get your sorry ass on that darn computer and find some work, i couldn't care less what but just find some, and before you ask DON'T even consider trying to make contact with that pathetic JUSTIN BIEBER friend of yours, he's nothing but pure trouble"

Every time he made this comment or something to that effect i would, mimick it in my head as i new it almsot off by heart as to what he was going to say. I never made any form of convosation with him, at dinner i would sit at the opposite end of the table in silence and eat my dinner before going back to my room, where i would remain until the following day. Many nights i'd cry myself to sleep people at school had began to talk about me, spread rumours around saying how i had no life, how i was practically under house arrest for no apparent reason. I never wanted people to feel sorry for me, in fact i just wanted to have people to be around, as i was slowly loosing my friends i once had. However there was this one guy, this one person who i could never get enough of, i loved him so much with all my heart it almsot hurt. His name, Justin, Justin was my only bestest friend, we new everything about each other and stood by one another through everything.

Although since my mother went, we were not allowed any contact what so ever, due to my stuck up father. Justin hadn't ever liked him for this reason precisely. Sometimes he would ask if my father had ever hit me or laid a finger on me to which i woud just reply with "no, not at all."

Deep down though it wasn't my father leaving these marks on my arms and legs, but me, myself, i was the one who would sit in my room at night and think to myself how much i hated my life each rumour spread about me at school i would go over in my head and just continue to tear away constantly at my scared skin. Besides Justin being my only best friend the blade i owned, which i kept hidden in my draw, was like my second best friend, it would take away my troubles for a short peroid of time, until i would have to mend the issues imbeded in my arms and legs, the small droplets of blood would continue to fall endlessly onto the floor and sink deep into the carpet, which i would have to cover with a rug. 

My life wouldnt' be worth living if it wasn't for Justin, each day of school i would wake up to think how i would see his sweet face in almost an hours time. I would leave the house with my phone (which i was only allowed for school, i'd have to give it back to my father when i get home) and message Justin who was saved in my contacts, as 'Dad' i saved it under this so my father wouldn' know i had his number.

Typing away at my phone i wrote "Hey Justin, im just around the corner be there in five:) x" i met him evey moring at approximatly 8:30 to continue my journey with him to school. Walking to the corner my phone buzzed, One new message "Heey beautiful, no worries i'm waiting here for you ok take your time:) x". Aww he was so sweet, i loved him dearly and i new he felt the same towards me as we spoke about this a while ago, although we wouldn't tell anyone as if my dad new he would be on the verge of killing Justin, and i mean killing him. By now i was at the corner and had met Justin, after giving each other a quick hug and a kiss, i couldn't help but notice him see my arm, which might i add he wasn't meant to, at all. 

Justin's Pov

Fuck, i thought to myself as i caught a glimps of Katie's arm. "Babe, what happend to your arm. P-please tell me that....t-t-thats not what i think it is, is it.?"  I could feel a tear forming in my eyes as i tried so hard not to blink i couldn't help myself, as i felt the warm tear trickle down my cheek. What is she doing to herself, she needs serious help what that pathetic exucse of a man needs is a good hard punch in the face. His daughter, the love of my life is slowly fading away and i don't want to watch this happen, i don't want to loose her, it was bad enough seeing Laura go, Katie's mom she always classed me as her son, Katie was an only child and us being best friends i was considered part of the family, as Laura loved me to bits everything was so normal, until she passed. 

"Eerrmm, J-J-Justin....i don't know what to do anymore, your the only person i have in my life worth living for...p-p-please i need help, i n-need you to get me out of that h-house."

Man, Katie was in bits here, crying continuously i just held her close to my chest, her neck burried deep into the crook of my neck. The warmth of my body transfered to her, i laid my chin ontop of her head, while my arms were wrapped tightly around Katie, we stood like this for a while until i lifted her chin up with my finger and looked at her "Katie, sweety listen to me ok, i promise you i will get you out of there its just a matter of time. I'm here for you and i promise you i will be forever. The only thing is i need to sort out how im going to get you out of there, ok. I love you and will continue to love you forever and ever. Ok."

Slowly she began to stop sobbing and looked up at me with those big bluey green eyes and said "o-okay, i love y-y-you too" and with that we were managed to get to school in one piece.
