(Zayn's POV)

Wow. Just wow. After Niall talked to Becca, she fell asleep on Harry so he tucked her in and we left. Well, we found out her past. It was awful. We were still wiping our eyes, it was so sad that she had to go through that! I made a silent vow as Niall was talking that I would never let her get hurt. We had all calmed down and went to bed with the awful thoughts of Becca's father.

(Becca's POV) 

I woke up and looked at the clock. 10:23 AM. Wow I must have been tired. I stretched and went downstairs. All the boys were up and watching TV. I went over to Louis and crawled into his lap. I think I am finally starting to trust these boys. They were good. Not like all the other people who adopted me.

Louis must have been surprised because he took a moment before wrapping his arms around me. I snuggled as close as I could and I could feel him smile against my head. I looked over to see all the lads smiling at the TV. All of a sudden, Louis got up with me in his arms and carried me to the kitchen. He sat me on a chair and went to the fridge. He brought out bacon and made 6 slices. 3 for me, 3 for Niall since he was always hungry. I stared at the plate of bacon for a long time. I was pretty hungry but still not hungry enough to finish. I had eaten 2 slices and was struggling to keep it down. I quickly swallowed the third and held my stomach. It felt like it would burst any second. Finally, my stomach settled and I looked at Louis.

He nodded for me to go and I went to my room. I got dressed. I put my hair into a side braid. I sat on my bed and played with my shirt. not long after, Zayn came in.

"Hey baby girl. Is it all right if we go shopping for some new clothes for you?" He asked.

I nodded and rolled up my sleeves. Only to remember about my cuts and scars. I haven't cut in a while but the scars were still there. I went to roll them down and I think my shirt lifted up. Oh no! There were cuts there too! I looked back to Zayn but he was already walking out the door. I sighed and went to the bathroom.


(Zayn's POV)

No. That can't be right. She rolled up her sleeves and all of a sudden, there were pink scars all over her arms! Then she went to fix her sleeves and her shirt lifted up. There were cuts there too! I had to tell the lads. Before she could say anything, I walked downstairs. I went to the living room where the others were waiting. "Okay. She rolled up her sleeves and there were scars from cutting all over her arms! Then she went to fix the sleeves and her shirt lifted. There were cuts there too!" The lads just gasped and looked at me.

"Well then, when we go shopping, we will buy her two sweaters. And all the rest must be t-shirts. Got that lads?" Louis looked at us and we all nodded. At that moment, Becca came down and we piled into the car and went to the mall.

+++++++++++++++++++

(Becca's POV)

We had about 50 shopping bags. Most of them were filled with t-shirts! I think I got about two sweaters! I think Zayn must have told the lads about my cuts and now they are trying to get me to admit it.

We were leaving the mall when we saw the doors being crowded by paparazzi and One Direction fans. We decided to go around the back to dodge them. We ran to the limo and went home.

The lads put all the bags in my room and I decided to go through them later. I noticed the bag with my two sweaters was not in my room. I walked to the bag that had my new iphone 4 in it. I set it up. I set up an itunes account and then downloaded like 800 songs!

I turned on the music and decided to sort through my clothes. They were actually nice clothes.

~FLASHBACK~

"You little bitch! Even your clothes are stupid!" My father yelled. He then ripped my clothes and thats where it all began.

~end of flashback~


I didn't realize I was crying until I wiped my face and felt tears. I had to cut. I went to the bathroom and grabbed my black box. I slid the knife over each wrist 3 times each. There. I could feel something now. Yea, you little bitch. You're just as crazy as your mother. His voice rang in my head.

I dropped the knife when I heard a loud knock on the door. "Becca, can you come out please. We need to talk to you." Liam's voice rang out. I was crying so hard, I couldn't talk. I just sniffed and sniffed not answering. "Becca. What's going on in there?!" He raised his voice. "If you don't open this door, I am going to open it for you!" I could hear all the lads outside the door and I cried harder. Then, the door bursted open and Louis ran to me and held me so close we were like one person.

"Becca, it's all right. I've got you. Don't cry, I have you. It's okay." He whispered in my ear.
Liam soon came in the bathroom with a first aid kit. He cleaned my arms and wrapped bandages around them. Louis carried me downstairs and sat on the couch. All the lads sat around us. My breathing finally went back to normal.

"Becca. Why? Why would you do that?" Louis's voice was quiet.

"I-I just do." I was scared. What if they yell at me again. What if they hit me? Beat me? No. Niall said they wouldn't hurt me anymore. What if he lied?

We all stayed silent for a while before liam came over to me and crouched in front of Louis and I. "Becca. We need to know why you would think of doing this to yourself so we can help you."

"I-I just........" I trailed off. I couldn't tell them. They'll think i am crazy! Who hears their dead father's voice in their head.

"Becca? Becca? Are you with us." He shook my shoulders slightly.

"Uh.. yeah I just zoned out."

"What is wrong Becca. Don't lie because we will find out eventually." Harry looked right into my eyes and I stared back.

"Well......my father killed himself before the police came. Before he killed himself, he looked me in the eye and said that we would come back and haunt me for the rest of my life. He used to call me worthless and beat me. I keep hearing him in my head and I just-I just want it to go away!" I was crying hard now. I snuggled back into Louis. I was broken. I was unfixable.

All of a sudden, Louis had me laying on my back on the couch. Harry had my arms above my head and Zayn had my feet held down. What are they doing?! I started to scream and Harry leaned forward so we were face to face. I squirmed. "Hey. It's alright, we aren't going to hurt you. We are going to check your stomach. We will explain. Just please stop, Becca. We won't hurt you. Wait a few seconds and it will be over okay? Louis is going to lift your shirt and then put it back down. You don't need to worry." He whispered in my face. I had stopped moving, giving up.

(Louis's POV)

I slowly peeled back her shirt just below her chest so she stayed covered. Harry was whispering to Becca so she had stopped moving now. I looked at her stomach.

Scars. Scars everywhere. Words, lines, just everywhere. What were we gonna do with this? Liam must know something to heal these. I looked at all the lads. Niall looked absolutely torn. Zayn's eyes were wide with terror and sorrow. Liam was frozen with sadness. Harry was looking at me. His eyes full of pity and... anger. Becca looked scared.

(Becca's POV)

Louis put my shirt back down.

I could see Liam's lips moving. He was saying something, but I couldn't hear him. I was floating. It felt as though someone lifted me. I had finally told someone about my father. Finally, I opened up. And right then I knew, I could trust these boys. They could love me, keep me safe.

I turned and hugged Louis. I leaned up into his ear, "I love you Dad." His grip loosened but then it was tighter than ever.

"I love you too, Becca." And I drifted off to sleep.
