A MONTH LATER

"Alright, good practice today guys. Ice tonight, alright? Cali on 3!" And we all said "1 2 3 Cali!" Then we all walked to the 'lobby', and Nate asked "Hey Kin, you ok?"

I looked up at him and said "Uh...yah." And he said "You've just been really quiet." And I whispered "They won't shut up. I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, I'm just worried." He explained, and I sighed and said "We're trying a new prescription, I don't think it's working." Then I grabbed my jacket and phone and said "Im walking home." And Nate asked "I've got my motorcycle if you want a ride." He asks everyday, and usually I decline, but today I said "Yah, ok." He grinned and I grabbed the second helmet and sat behind him, gripping his waist tightly. We were at my house in no time, and I thanked him and walked into my house.

When I got inside, I heard voices that weren't my family in the kitchen, so I bolted to my room and changed out of my Leo before sitting on my bed, gripping my hair with my head on my knees, as I listened to the voices, tears streaming down my face. They were arguing over whether I was fat or anorexic, and I wanted to just rip my hair out. Just then the door opened, and I heard footsteps before my bed sunk down a little bit.

"Hey babe, what's wrong?" I heard Zacs soothing voice ask. "They won't shut up!" I said, picking up my head. "Hey, your crying! What's wrong Kinli?" And another tear went down my face as I whispered "They're arguing." And he urged me on and asked "About what?" And I whispered back "I can't tell you." He moved a piece of hair to behind my ear and said "You can tell me anything." So I sighed and answered "About whether I'm fat or anorexic, they can't decide."

He quickly pulled me into a hug and started rubbing my back and said "Hey, Bell, you can't listen to them. They aren't really there, remember? It's just your mind, that's all it is. Your skinny and super muscular, just like all those girls you love like Gabby Douglas and Shawn Johnson, right?" I shrugged and said "I don't think the new medicine is working."

He laughed and said "I think your right. Listen, Harry's band is staying here for a few nights again, so be careful, alright?" I nodded and he said "I'm gonna go downstairs because mom is gone for the weekend, so not only is Harry's band here for dinner, but Selena is here with Demi Miley and Taylor, plus Joe Nick Kevin Robert and Josh. Kind of a kids party weekend thing. If you need anything, just shoot me a text, ok?"

I nodded and gave him a hug, and he left. I played on Twitter for a little bit, trying to ignore the voices in my head, and all of a sudden I got really angry. "Shut up!" I tried, knowing it wouldn't work. They were arguing about me again, and then one of them said "Kinli Isabella! Go downstairs!"

I shook my head no and said "No way! Please be quiet, your driving me crazy!" None of them would though, and they started telling me all sorts of things - that the people downstairs were going to judge me if they found me, that I was a baby for not letting them find me, that I was a freak for not going to school, that my gymnastics friends just felt bad for me. They started to scream at me and I heard one of the voices coming from the window.

With tears rolling down my face I carefully picked up the lamp that is on my bedside table and chucked it at the wall by the window. "You shouldn't have done that Kinli!" A voice said, and another screamed "Your gonna get it now!" I screamed at the top of my lungs and started sobbing, grabbing a picture frame and throwing it toward where the voice was coming from. I screamed again as my door swung open and in ran Channing, Zac, Taylor, and Justin.

"Kinli, Kinli, stop!" Taylor said, grabbing my wrist. I freed myself quickly and bolted for the window, wanting nothing more than to escape. Zac grabbed me from behind and wrapped his arms around me, underneath my arms, and Channing grabbed my wrists and said "Hey, Kinli, your fine. We're here, your fine." And I sob screamed "THEY'RE GOING TO KILL ME!"

Channing quickly hushed me and said "Kinli, nobodies going to kill you, your fine. Theirs nobody here but us." And I whispered "They told me so, they told me they're going to judge me and they're gonna hurt me and they're going to kill me. They told me nobody really likes me." And Taylor rubbed my arm from the side and said "Kinli, nothing they say is true, ok? Just try to calm down."

I shook my head, crying, and trying to wiggle free. "I need to get out of here!" I screamed, thrashing around. They just continued to try and calm me down, and Zac picked me up and put me down on my bed, laying me down. At first I struggled, but my brothers are extremely muscular, and with the pressure Taylor put on my legs combined with Zac holding my stomach and shoulders down, I quickly gave up, sobbing into my pillow.

"Please save me from me." I cried, and Zac just rubbed my back and said soothing things to me. "Kin, me and Justin and Channing are gonna go back downstairs, and Zac is going to stay with you, ok?" Taylor asked cautiously, and I didn't reply, so Zac said "We'll be fine." And he continued to rub my back and tell me everything was going to be ok, that I had nothing to be afraid of, and eventually I fell asleep.

HARRY'S POV

We were having a great time downstairs - eating and discussing what movie we were going to watch, when all of a sudden I heard something break, and then the blood curdling scream of my little sister. Channing glanced at me and said "Excuse us, Harry, we'll be right back." And him and the rest of my brothers bolted up the stairs.

I awkwardly continued eating and looking down at my plate, wishing I could go up and comfort Kinli with the boys. I could tell everyone else was extremely confused, and they kept glancing at each other, until Liam said "Haz? What was that?" I just shrugged and continued eating, and needless to say none of them were even kind of convinced.

Just then I heard something else break and my poor little Kinli screamed "THEY'RE GOING TO KILL ME!" Demi looked at me and said "Harry, seriously." And I just shrugged and said "I literally have no clue."

A few seconds later I heard her scream again "I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" And I said "Alright, lets start the movie!"

Everyone looked at me like I was stupid, but I ignored it and put my plate on the counter and walked into the living room and turned on the TV. Everyone hesitantly followed me, and after about 5 minutes Channing, Justin, and Taylor came back downstairs. "Justin, what was that?" Selena asked, and Justin said "Oh, it was nothing."

Everyone looked dumbfounded and Joe said "That definitely wasn't nothing." I ran a hand through my hair as Miley said "It sounded like a little girl screaming." Then Louis looked like he had a lightbulb moment, and I remembered the incident in the woods.

"Quiet, the movies starting!" I said, and everyone looked extremely annoyed, but also concerned, but thankfully they dropped it, and I mouthed 'She ok?' To Channing, who gave me the so-so hands.

About half an hour later Zac came downstairs, and Vanessa, who was also here, asked "Where were you babe?" And he said "Just upstairs." She rolled her eyes and he texted me one word.

Zac: Voices.
