Chapter 10

I stormed off into my room that I had been sharing with Louis, and I slammed the door shut. I began throwing pillows, stuffed animals, and I even began throwing my flip flops. I heard a knock on my door. A confident and demanding voice said, "Megan, it's Liam. Open up." My head turned quickly over towards the door and I yelled, "Go away Liam!" A few minutes had passed, and I judged that Liam had left from the door. I opened the door, my emotions calming down- and I bumped right into Louis.

He dominantly pushed me back into my room, and he shut the door behind him. "What's your problem, Megan!?" He spat angrily, hit eyes green, full of anger. For once in my life, I had a wave of confidence and reason come over me, and I replied, "What's my problem!? Is that seriously what you're asking me!? What's yours!?" Louis towered over me, and he began walking towards me angrily. I held my ground, and Louis stopped, his face only a few inches from mine. "What are you doing, telling the boys my personal bisuness!?" I shouted. Louis' eyes grew in the ambient green shade that I had grown up to fear. "Megan! What are you doing, with a razor at 3am, picking out the blade!? I know it's hard, but really!? I thought you were so much stronger then that!" My eyes narrowed, and I looked at Louis. "You have no idea what it's like! You'll never know! You have everything! You have successful siblings and parents who work hard! You didn't grow up in my house, fights every day because my brother wouldn't go to school! His mum was a complete and utter trainwreck, and she rubbed off on him! My parents kicked him out! Louis, that's only the beginning! You'll never understand what my motivation is behind some things!" I screetched, my emotions heightening.

"Meggo..." He had nerve, to call me that during such a heated conversation. "I told the boys because we made a pact together... About you. We said that we noticed a big difference in you, and eventually when I found out about the cutting, I said to them that if I found you trying to cut again, that I would tell them the entire story. It's to help you." Louis had calmed down, but I hadn't. I punched his shoulder and rebelled, "What place do you have on telling people my deepest secrets!"

I stared at Louis, a mixed emotion present on his face. I saw anger and sympathy mixed onto the face that I knew so well. I, on the other hand, was still very angry. "That was my personal and private information, Louis! You can't just blab about it! I knew I should have never come with Liam-" In the middle of my rant, Louis roughly grabbed my shoulders and pinned me between him and the wall. I tried to squirm loose, but he wasn't budging. "Let me go!" I hissed at Louis. I kept retaliating, and Louis broke a fuse.

"MEGAN!" He screetched aggressively. I immediately became passive, submitting to Louis' commanding tone. "You need to at least try! You need to come to one of us! You can't just make excuses! Megan, I did this because I care about you!" I kept trying to pry my way past Louis, and he angrily pinned my wrists against the wall. I whimpered in pain as his grip tightened. "You need to make an effort. Show us that you're trying." He hissed at me. His eyes were still the ambient green they were, and he roughly let go of my wrists and left the room.

I walked along the sidewalk, trying to get some fresh air. It was around 1am, and I had made sure that all the boys were asleep. My mind had been in a low place ever since Louis and I had that argument. I stared into the strong current, mesmorized by it's danger. As I took a step towards the Thames, a strong, familiar voice boomed, "Stop."
