Guys I am soooo sorry that I haven’t updated in so long but over this next week I’m gonna be updating like it’s nobody’s business. Lol. Well I hope you all like this chapter! I love you all!
Chapter Nineteen:
Zayn’s POV:
Two days had gone by since Harry had spoken to me after his accident and he hadn’t really been awake since then. The doctors had him drugged up on all of these pain medications and other stuff to make him feel better and heal faster, so when he did wake he would just look at me for a few seconds then go back to his dreams. Part of me was really upset that I couldn’t just have a conversation with him for even a minute but the other part of me was relieved that he didn’t have to feel all of the pain. I hadn’t left his side since they let me in his room and I wasn’t planning on leaving either. Josh had called me a few times with some business to attend to but I told him to take care of it for me. Normally that was something that I would never do but I couldn’t bring myself to walk out of the ugly sterilized room.
Harry’s parents had told me to go to school over and over within the couple days of being here and they even tried to convince me to go home because they thought my parents would be worried. I tried really hard not to scoff at those kind of comments because they didn’t know how I was living and they certainly didn’t know that the only thing waiting for me at home was an abusive father with a drinking problem. He was an asshole and even though he used to be a caring father I knew that he had changed for the worse. His countless beatings and attacks had resulted in me being locked up in a hospital for a while and I couldn’t stand it. I hated everything about hospitals and the people that worked there. The smell and look of these places had always nauseated me and I did everything in my power to stay the hell away from them. I looked down at my arm where my faded scar was mocking me and all of the unwanted memories came flooding back.
(Flashback)
I walked inside from my long day of doing yard work for several people in our small town. I had taken the liberty of asking everyone if I could cut their grass and trim their hedges or whatever so I could save my money for after school. I didn’t want to spend any more time in my house than I had to. I ran up to my bedroom and saw that my father had come in and trashed it while I was out. He was probably pissed off that I hadn’t left and somehow gotten him alcohol that I wasn’t old enough to buy. I hated how big of an ass that he could be and I just couldn’t take it! I had no friends, no family, no anything! I just had to live this damn life all alone and it was all because of that stupid bastard!
I picked up the old picture of my family from when we were all happy and threw it as hard as I could against the wall. I hated how terrible everything in my life had become and I needed a way to leave everything behind if only for a minute. I walked over to the now shattered picture frame and grabbed a piece of glass from the floor. I twirled it in between my fingers for a few seconds before putting the sharp point up against my wrist. I closed my eyes and pressed the glass into my skin until I could feel the beautiful sensation of blood dripping down my arm. Everything in my life was frozen for just a moment in time and it was the best feeling in the world. I wanted more and so that’s what I gave myself.
I was on my sixth cut when I heard a loud slam from the other side of my room. My father was looking at me with rage in his eyes and I really wish I could just disappear.
“What the fuck are you doing?!”
His yell still frightened me after all these years and I trembled slightly before he stomped over to me and grabbed me by the collar of my shirt. He brought me up to his level, my feet hovering off of the floor.
