"Mate let her go." I heard Harry say in a worried tone.
"No can do. You punched me baby, you're gonna have to pay." The words made me flinch. He had his arm around my neck, the grip wasn't too tight, but it was tight enough for me not to slip away. It was getting tighter, It was getting harder to breath.
"Hey man, you're choking her! Let her go!" I heard the blonde guy say. He began trying to pull him away from me.
"Don't fucking touch me Niall!" I felt the vibration of his voice against me. Niall. Thats the blonde guys name.
"We were just fucking around man, you're hurting her!" The guy with the quiff joined in. His grip was getting tighter, I was starting to feel light headed, then I heard Harry.
"Fucking let her go!" He shouted and pushed Josh, the one choking me, that made him let me go and i caught my breath, his grip was so hard my throat felt soar. I fell to the ground and started catching my breath and coughing.
"Are you alright, oh my gosh?!" Harry quickly came to my side and helped me, I nodded my head, still trying to heal my throat. "You're suck a prick!" Harry got up and pushed Josh, he pushed him hard enough for him to slam down on the concrete. Niall and the other guy stood still, and watched. Josh started laughing.
"C'mon man! You can't be serious!" He said still trying to whipe the blood from his nose, while getting up. Everyone stood silently.
"I have to go." I got up and began walking. I was so late, I was thinking about just ditching today. It's just one day. It wont hurt, plus my neck was red, people are gonna think I tried to commit, ugh, no thanks, I don't know where I'm going but I need to get away from those guys. Then I heard my name being called from a distance behind me, it was Harry.
"Amber! Wait!" He caught up to me panting. I continued walking, I don't know if I should be mad at him, or his friends, I don't know, I'm too scared, and my throat hurts I can't hold a grudge.
"Yeah?" I said in an annoyed tone.
"Look I'm sor-" I cut him off.
"It's fine dont worry about it." He stared at me while I kept walking, not turning my head. People have done worse to me, I guess it really didn't effect me? Wow.. I'm cold hearted
"What? No it isn't, he choked you."
"Tried."
"But... Still he hurt you.."
Why the hell does he care? He doesnt know me, I just wanted to be alone.
"Why do you care?" He stopped walked, watching me walk, with his hands up length height.
"Alright, well fuck you" I heard him mumble and he turned around and left.
Thank god he left. What an asshole, along with all his friends. My neck was still soar, I just forgot about it, maybe if I avoided the pain, it would go away.
I walked by my school, and walked by as fast as I could. The last thing I need is for one of the securities to recognize me. When I got passed that, I didn't know where I was going, I was walking slowly around the city, my school was only a couple blocks from the city and all the walking I did, I reached the city, I stared at my feet as I walked, kicking the small pieces of rock with my foot, I've never been so at peace. No parents yelling at me, No people from school throwing hurtful comments at me, No people choking me... I chuckled at the thought, I found it funny. I'm not normal, I'm just already scarred enough.... Scars.... I look at my arm, I stare at the bright red cuts, fresh, from last night... Sometimes I just can't control myself, I'm just not myself when I do it, I feel relieved when I feel the broken glass against my skin... the pain doesnt exist.. That reminds me of what Harry said 'The meaning of the tattoo is more powerful than the pain' it can relate. 'The meaning to the cut is more powerful to the pain' I hadn't realised I was crying. I quickly whiped the couple of tears that had fallen. I can't find any distractions, every night I just find all the bad things about me, then to top it off, I add in all the comments people have made about me, adding on the stress of my parents and school. I guess I just don't have anyone to go to and talk about my problems. I needed a friend. I laughed at the thought, yeah right, like I could ever get a friend. I found a nearby bench, and sat down. All these thoughts crowded my mind, suddenly I heard someones footsteps, at first I thought it was just some stranger walking by, but I was wrong, it was Harry. He sat down next to me.
