Diana

Chapter three ~ Braveness

***RECAP***

"Do you like wearing jewelry?" He asked and I nodded. He looked back at my arms, his facial expression changed.

"Are those scars?" He asked.

***RECAP OVER***

I gulped. I felt tears start fall from my eyes. I was ashamed, and worried. Worried because if I told him they were than he might run off just like everyone else. Ashamed because I did this to myself.

"Love did you do this?" He asked. I only started crying harder.

"Di, why?" He held my wrist with a grip that was tight. I used my other hand to wipe my eyes.

"Niall, you wouldn't understand. No one ever does. One person understood but that scared them away. Niall I don't want to scare you away." I continued crying.

"Trust me I won't run away," He said. I nodded. He put my hands on the table and put his over mine. "Tell me why, I want to help." he pleaded. I gave in a nodded.

"It all started with my-my oldest brother. He was sixteen and I was ten. He started getting bullied, it broke my heart to see someone I loved getting bullied. It took a turn about seven months after it started. H-h-he started smoking, and c-c-cutting. Then around seven months later he was dead." I was full on sobbing now. How I miss Mikey.

Niall looked like he was about to cry.

"Then m-m-my parents went and adopted a little boy. I was so mad because they only adopted to fill my brothers place. Now every anniversary of Mikey's death they don't do anything. Last year I asked my mom to drive me to the cemetery and she asked why I said to visit Mikey and she asked 'who's mikey?'." I felt like Niall was gonna run off any second.

"That doesn't explain why," he stated. I sighed.

"Niall I started after my mom asked who's mikey," I said. "That was a year and a half ago," I looked down. I felt someone hug me. I looked to my right and it was Niall. He let go and sat down opposite from me again.

"Brave girl you are Diana," he smiled.

"So your not going to run off?" I asked. He nodded.
