I can be loved

I quickly turned around to see Liam standing behind me with his arms crossed over his chest, he had a slightly annoyed and kinda angry look in his face.

''Just around the house'' I lie backing up a bit but with every step I take back he takes forward. ''Where in the house?'' He asks. ''Music room, my room and just wondering the halls'' I lie again. He nods but doesn't look like he beloved me ''you know you really shouldn't lie Emily'' he said angrily. I start freaking out, my father would do this to me all the time and every time he would abuse me.

Liam toke a step closer and I lost it, I started hyperventilating, and shaking of fear, hot tears streamed down my face and I backed up until I hit the wall.

Stupid wall, blocking my escape.

''Emily, Em Hun calm down. What's wrong?'' Liam's voice rang throw my ears. I looked around frantically until I saw my escape. I ran for the door as fast as I could, scared that if I didn't get away in time shit would go down.

I ran down another hall and up the stairs passing Harry, and Zayn on my way. I finally reached my room locking the door behind me I ran to the pool room making sure to lock the door and that there were no windows so the boys can't see in.

I jumped into the pool and felt my tail form. I smiled for a brief second when I looked down at my tail, it really was beautiful. I swam around the large pool a couple of times before deciding to get out and go to bed. I lifted myself out of the pool (which was really hard with this freaking huge tail) I held my fist above my tail drying it and turn back into my legs. I stood up and walked back into my room. Looking out the glass wall that had a view of the beach. I smiled and changed into some shorts and a tang top before heading to bed.

*morning*

I woke up in a comfortable bed with big fluffy pillows. I stretched out and walked over to my dresser and put on a pair of light blue shorts and a superman t shirt. Looking in my body length mirror I frown

''Useless, ugly pice of shit, brat, unforgivable mistake'' those were some of the words that my father would say to me every day. The words that were engraved in my mind. The words that caused my scares. I looked down at my wrists and saw all of my scares, I counted them once. There was about 40 on each arm but I've cut since then so I have no clue how many there are.

Walking away from the mirror and out if my room I bump into Liam. Just my freaking luck! He looks up and realizes its me his features soften and he opens his mouth to say something but before he can I ran back into my room and lock the door. I run over to my night stand and grab my phone before running out into the balcony. I turn in my phone and check the time

1:15 pm

Wow I slept for a really long time, and I'm late for my beach day with the girls! I jump off the balcony landing in the soft warm sand. Looking around the beach, there was a lot if people but I soon found Alicia walking out if her house. I smile and run over to her.

''Hey girly what's up?'' I asked her, she smiled at me and replies with ''nothing, what about you?'' ''I kinda jumped off my balcony because I didn't want to see the boys, so now I'm here!'' I say happily even though it's not really a happy thought at all. ''Well then...lets go to beach day!'' She screams happily.

We run around the beach looking for Avery and Emma until we spotted them by the rocks and far from the water. ''This way'' I yell to Alicia as I run towards them. When we finally reach them we set up a spot on the rock with towels (just incase), an I-home so we can use my phone to play music, sun scream, water bottles, and straws bc we don't want to get wet if we drink from the water bottles. For a while we just lay there listening to music and tanning. I look up from my sitting possession, and look around seeing a lot of people but a really hot boys stand out.

''Hey guys who are they?'' I ask the girls as I point towards two boys.

''The one with brown hair and green eyes is Brody, he moved here a couple weeks ago so I don't know much about him'' Emma shrugs '' and the other one with black hair and blues eyes is Timmy, he's the rich bastard of town'' Alicia explains '' I think he's kinda cute'' Avery says giggling '' Avery has a crush! Avery and Timmy sitting in a tree K-I-S'' but before I could finish my song Avery slaps a hand over my mouth. We all laugh for a while, our faces turning red, and our tummies and checks aching

''What's so funny?'' I hear a male voice say from behind me, I stop laughing due to my fear of men because of what my father did and quickly turn around and scoot away from him. Looking up I notice it's Timmy and Brody. ''Nothing Timmy go away'' Emma says rudely and I laugh '' you think this is funny?'' Timmy tells at me and I shut up. ''Tim there's no need for that you obviously scared her'' Brody says walking towards me, he reaches his hand towards me I flinch but take it anyways.

''What your name?'' He asks me pulling me up up to my feet. ''Emily'' I reply shyly. ''I'm Brody'' he says ''nice to meet you'' I reply shaking his hand that was still I'm my grasp.

I bent down and grab my phone checking the time. ''Sorry guys I have to go now, Niall has no idea where I am'' I apologize and start walking away after everyone said there good byes. I feel someone tug on my arm and turn me around '' how about you and me spent our day here tomorrow'' Brody asks me. I bite my lip and nod my head. ''Can I have your number'' he says I give him my phone and he types in my number while I smile and type mine into his phone ''See you tomorrow'' I yells and open up the widow to the music room again. Looking back a him I see him give me a weird look before I wave to him and climb in through the window.

I walked down the halls and up the stairs to my room I tried opening the door but cursed when I realized that it was till locked.

I reached into t pocket and found a bobby-pin, perfect! I work quickly with the bobby-pin and the lock in the door until I herd a ''click'' I smiled and opened the my bedroom door. I quickly changed out of my sandy clothes and in a pair of white jean shorts and a pink off the shoulder shirt, both in which the boys had gotten me.

I walk passed the mirror deciding that it would be better if I didn't look at myself because I always put myself down whenever I look in the mirror. I walked downstairs and sat on one of the couches. The boys walk in to the living room and take the empty seats in the living room turning on the tv.

''Listen Em I'm-'' Liam stats but I cut him off ''Liam I know your sorry but it wasn't your fault ok? It was mine, you truly didn't do anything wrong'' I told him smiling hoping he would just drop the subject. ''Really? Thank you Emily I was so worried that it was my fault and I, I, I though that you would have hated me'' he choked out. I got up from my seat and ran over to Liam, sitting on his lap with my head in his chest, and arm around his neck.

''I love you Liam, I love all of you'' I said. ''Good, because we all love you to'' Liam says. His words replay in my head. He loves me, they all love me. I though it was impossible but they showed me

I can be loved.
