Why Me? (A One Direction FanFiction)

Chapter 3

"Cara Rose?" I ask softly as I knock on the bathroom door. I wait a minute and get no response. I knock a little louder. Nothing.

"I'm coming in," I speak loudly and open the bathroom door slowly. Once the door is open fully, I take a step inside and notice that the bathroom mirror is covered with fog from the shower.

"Cara Rose?" I question. I don't want to invade her privacy but she didn't respond and I want to know that she is okay. I heard a thump and you know, I just don't want to see her hurt. If I get the reassurance that she is okay, I will be happy.

"Damn it," I mutter as i've inspected the whole bathroom except for the shower. The shower is where she is and i'm sure that she is naked, again.

"I'm coming in the shower, Cara," I call out. I open the shower curtain slowly and look inside. I've only got the shower open about a foot but I see blood. I yank the curtain open fully and look at the scene before me.

"What the fuck," I mumble. Cara is on the floor of the shower and her foot and head are bleeding. "Shit," I curse. I turn the water off vastly and grab her wrist trying to find a pulse. I sigh in relief as I find a faint one. Then, I sling her body over my shoulder and carry her out of the bathroom. Gently laying her down on my bed, I grab my robe. Once her body is covered in my bathrobe, I pick her up, bridal style, and take her into the kitchen. Her frail body is limp in my arms and it brings tears to my eyes. Just seeing somebody so fragile and frail and defenseless. It is heartbreaking.

"Guys! Get your arses in here right now!" I scream as I lay Cara Rose onto the island counter. I start by grabbing a clean dish towel and applying pressure to her head. I think this should help with all of the bleeding. All the boys scramble into the kitchen out of breath. I guess they ran in here.

"Oh my god! i'm calling my mum!" Louis announces as he darts to grab a phone. Louie's mum is a nurse. She would know exactly what to do. I know what to do too. My aunt is a nurse also.

"Grab a towel and apply pressure to her foot!" I command the boys authoritatively. They all rush to cabinet to grab a fresh towel. Liam presses firmly onto her right foot with the towel.

"Ok, mum said that we should take her to the hospital," Louis screeches as he runs into the kitchen.

"We can't! She doesn't have ID or insurance. They will take her to the police!" I reply to Louis. He shakes his head in disbelief and tells his mum the new situation.

"Ok, well we need to elevate her foot and give her stitches in her foot. Cara Rose's head isn't bleeding terribly so we should wait for it to stop bleeding and then put ice. We need to sterilize both areas too!" Louis rushes out as if it were one word. I nod my head and make Zayn hold pressure on Cara Rose's head. I hurry into the bathroom and grab our first aid kit from one of the drawers. Once I reach the kitchen again I run over to the table and dump the contents of the first aid kit onto the table. I search for the little sewing kit in it and smile in rejoice once i've found it. Next, I look for the sterilizing pads. I grab them and the sewing kit and hurry over to the kitchen counter.

"Move!" I yell at Liam as I push him away from Cara Rose's foot. It has stopped bleeding now so I rip open the sterile pad and start rubbing her foot to cleanse it. Once her foot is clean, I realize that this was no accident. No accident looks like that. It was done on purpose! It reassures me too when I see another slash and many scars. Yeah. I think she cuts. Right on cue with me all the boys gasp as realization hits them that she cuts.

I shake my head to clear my thoughts. I need to focus. I string the thread through the needle. Taking an intake of breath, I enter the needle into her first cut. I wince at the pain it is probably causing her. I keep stitching until the first gash is closed. I cut the string and re-thread it for the next gash. I start entering the needle into Cara Rose's skin as she flinches. Shit. She is waking up. I hurry up with the stitches and sigh after i'm done. She didn't wake up fully.
