YESS! Mom is gone!!!
I walked out of the house pulling down my sleeves.
"Taco Bell!"I pulled out my wallet and counted my money.
35 dollars.
I arrived and walked in.
"Hi what can I get you today? I like your shirt."
I looked down and my green day shirt. Forgot to change my shirt again.
"Umm thanks. I'd like to get a happy hour starburst drink and 2 burritos."
"Okay be right back."he smiles
I nodded.
I pulled out my little iPod an plugged my earbuds in my ears.
Soon enough my food came and I sat down.
"I have a jet black heart and there's a hurricane under neath us tryna keep us apart! I write with a poison pen and these chemicals moving between us are the reason to start again!"I sang. I was further away so no one would look at me like a weirdo.
"Excuse me miss umm." I turned at the voice me hind me.
There stood Michael clifford.
I got off my seat and hugged him and started to cry.
Soon 3 other people where surrounding me,
I got off,"I-I'm sorry it's just I love you guys so much and you don't realize how much I'm going through and."I stopped about to sob again into Michael's leather jacket.
"Honey it's okay."Michael said playing with my hair
"Why kind of dye do you use?"he asked me
I laughed,"the Walmart shit."
"Same."
I turned and faced the other 3 boys
"Can I hug y'all?"
They nodded and smiled
"I love you guys!"
"Hey-"Michael touched my rib.
"Fuck!"I yelped
"Oh sorry didn't mean to touch you there."he said with a worried face
"It's."I breathed for a minute,"it's okay Mikey ."I closed my eyes
"Maybe you should sit."Calum helped
I started crying.
Michael picked me up bridal style out of Taco Bell.
We  went on their bus and he set me down.
"Lift up your shirt."Ashton sighed
"Bu-"
"Not buts, lift up your shirt!"Luke said in a very serious voice.
I lifted my shirt up showing them the huge purple bruise
"What happened?"Ashton said serious
"I-I can't tell."I looked at Michael. There were tears in his eyes and he was looking at my stomach and the scars.
I got up and pulled my shirt down  and walked down the bus to an empty bunk.
"I wish that I could wake up with amnesia to forget about the stupid little things."I cried
"Michael man. It'll be okay! We'll protect her!stop crying."liked sighed
"No! Whatever or whoever did that to her is gonna pay!"I heard his cute Australian accent cry.
I whipped the tears away.
I slipped out of the bunk and went to the little living room area
"Want to know?"I said looking at Michael
He looked up and me and my heart fell.
"I've been getting beat for 8 years. Since I was 9. My dad left me and my brother and sister a long time ago because of my mom he didn't want to leave us but my mom won custody ad took us over. She was a super drunk. Then something triggered her to beat us.
When I was 12 my brother and sister left me with out telling me.
I was the only one getting beat.
My mom leaves for about a week or two every month. I'm a cutter and I'm suicidal.
My name is zero. I'm 17."
A tear dripped down my face.
Calum got up and hugged me,"I'm so sorry zero!"
"Don't apologize for something that isn't your fault. Any of you! Your band and my music are my saviors."
"Zero..."Michael sniffled
"Yes?"
"You know your beautiful right. Your nice. You can sing amazingly! You seem like a
Good person and I-I care for you."
I looked at Michael.
"I cAre for you all too. You guys are all amazing people.you all are talented. All of you are nice. I love you guys!"
"Stay with us!"Luke and Ashton said in unison
I nodded
"I'll tell you my address so I can get my stuff."
