Safe(One Direction fan fiction)

Chapter 2

"Skylar? Hmm that's a pretty name for a pretty girl" the guy with brown hair and blue eyes.

"Thank you,"I say realizing I was still holding on to the boy with curly hair, "you guys look really familiar"

"Umm, were from this little boy band called One Direction" the blonde one with an Irish accent says as I finally recognize the boys standing in front of me.

"Oh!," I say blushing, "of course I'm so stupid"

I am so engulfed with reading all the time I can go days (and one time even 1 and a half weeks) without going on the internet and watching tv.

"Are you sure you're okay love?"

"Umm yes-" I stutter not knowing how to continue.

"Oh of course!" The brown haired guy with blue eyes says, "I'm Louis."

"I'm Niall!" the blonde with an Irish accent says.

"Harry" the curly haired, green eyes boy says. As he smiles I notice the deep dimples in his cheeks.

That was the day I met 3/5 of the guys that saved my life. We hung out for 2 weeks without me telling them too much about the hell that I call my past. After those first 2 weeks I decided I had to tell them.

I wrote them a letter knowing I would break down if I told them in person.

Dear Boys,

I can tell you all have been wondering about my past. Well in truth? It's hell. I was born into the 'perfect family'. I was born on June 3 to my two parents and 3/4 grandparents. 6 years later my younger brother was born. We were the 'perfect and happy' family. We owned a small business, which my grandparents opened. About 2 years later my grandpa died 9 days after I turned 8 years old. Then a couple months after that my aunt died. I was only 8, but there was a lot of stress on everybody including me (the 8 year old).

When I got into freshman year of high school I started playing basketball and had a lot of stress to get perfect grades. About a month into high school I started cutting. It got really stressful to where I would barely see my family and when I did my parents would tell at me for being stupid and ignorant. Even my younger brother started telling me stuff ( he's only in 3rd grade). Finally I got accepted into the University of Texas. So the day after I graduated senior year I left San Antonio to Austin. My best friend and her cousin, my long time crush, came with me.

I took my basics in 2 years. Then took some creative writing and graphic designer courses. I completed my university career and moved here to the Western coast. I left my best friend, Phoenix and her cousin Aaron. I needed to get away from my past for a while. I found a decent job at a bookstore. One day I met this guy Robert, worst mistake of my life. We dated for about a month when he wanted to have sex with me. I kept saying no, believing in no sex until marriage. A couple of days after he first asked me he invited me over for a simple movie date. He ended up drugging me and raping me. I broke up with him and never saw him again. That was the day before I met you guys. You guys have made me forget my past thank you so much for that. I love y'all guys.

Love,

Skylar

I give them the letter and watch them as they read it. I see tears filling each of the guys' eyes.

"Don't pity me, please? I hate it when people pity me." I say before any of the guys start attacking me with their responses.

The first person to hug me is Harry. We have gotten really close since we've met. "Don't worry guys, that's over now. They sent me a letter about a week ago with a check for a thousand dollars saying they disown me and for me to never try to contact them." I say keeping my eyes down, blinking away tears.

"We're really sorry Skylar." Louis says.

"Why don't you come with us on tour? We don't want to leave you here alone and you're like family."

"I-I don't know...what about management?" I ask. Going with them sounds really fun especially since I don't have anyone else.

"They said it was fine! You know they love you."

"Okay!" I say excited.
