I woke up around noon to see my phone blowing up with notifications only to find out it was just new followers on Twitter.
thoughts of last night ran through my head as I remember telling Josh the truth about what happened to me and Simon in our past. I know Simon will get emotional when we tell them together which should be pretty soon, maybe today. the idea ran back and forth through my head as slowly got out of bed and began to walk to the bathroom to take a shower.
"For fucks sake JJ!" I heard Simon say as he recorded a video with the guys. I smiled as I walked into the bathroom. they've made such an impact on his life and they don't even know it. he's so much happier here, you can tell by the way his face lights up when they film together or even talk to one another.
after smiling and standing in the middle of the bathroom, I proceeded to take my shower and wash my hair. I got out and got dressed in some shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, not caring about the questions that I would get asked because I would answer them when we explained.

I walked out of the bathroom to see Simons door opened. I decided to ask him about telling the guys.
"hey Si?" I questioned as I walked into his room.
"yes Liv?" he questioned back as he edited a dead by daylight video.
"can we maybe tell the guys about our past?" I looked at him unsure as he thought about it. he noticed my shorts and t-shirt along with the multiple scars on my body. looking at me with a sad face me nodded his head. "yes"
I ran over and hugged him while sat there before hugging back.
"you have fresh ones don't you." he stated as he looked at my wrist. "maybe" I replied with my head down, ashamed at myself.
"you will get better, I promise." he smiled softly at me and I did the same to him.
"everyone is here to record videos today so we can tell them now? if that's okay." he said as he saved the edited video onto his computer.
"let's do it now." I said confidently while smiling a bit.
"sure just uh- let me get myself together." Simon said while he stood up and wiped a tear from his eye.
I nodded as I began to walk downstairs to tell the boys that we needed to talk.
"GUYS GET TO THE LIVING ROOM NOW!" I yelled through the house.
a few seconds later I heard all of the guys come down including the Cals. Simon stood beside me as they joked around while finding a seat on the couches and floor.
"we need to tell you guys something. we've never told anyone because we were scared but here goes nothing." Simon said to the guys as they looked very confused at Simon who has never acted this way around them.
" our parents were alcoholics. both were very hostile when they drank but it didn't stop them from hitting their own children. it all started when I was eight and Liv was three and out mom couldn't handle the mind of a curious three year old. when she saw Liv knock a bottle off of the table she would hit her for the glass everywhere and then me for not looking after her. as the years went by the drinking got worse and there had been four episodes that left the both of us with scars mentally and physically." Simon stopped to calm himself down a bit as I took over speaking.
"our parents didn't care anymore. they made me live through hell as they went on drunken rampages and in general. I can't tell you how many times I've hidden in out attic, where no one could find me, and cried myself to sleep. I still have bruises on my back from a few days ago because I didn't sweep the already clean floor. I was suicidal for a long time and then I slacked off and now it only happens every once in a while but I still have the long term affects from it as you can see." I finished as I looked at my scared thighs abs wrists.
Simon concluded, " that's basically our story minus all of the drama that went on but here we are."
the guys sat there with tears running down their faces, shocked. no one said a word as JJ stood up and walked over to give us a hug. the rest began to do the same and soon we were consumed by a group hug. I felt Josh's embrace around me as he ran to me to hug me. the hug lasted for about three minutes, along with tears and snot.
as we let go of each other I noticed that Josh was still crying so I took my hand and gently wiped them away and looked into his eyes. you could see the genuine pain and a hint a brokenness in the once green forests that I call his eyes. I guess we kinda got lost in each other's eyes for a few minutes because I heard someone clear their throat causing us to break contact. we look up to see the guys looking at us and we slowly back away from each other awkwardly.
"I know something that will cheer everyone up, let's go to nandos!" JJ said surprisingly excited. we all agreed and I made a run upstairs to change into some skinny jeans and shoes. I walked down to the door to see no one but Josh waiting wearing a hoodie over his shirt now. I grabbed my jacket off of the rack by the door and quickly put it on to cover up my scars.
"you know you were very strong to show them off earlier." Josh said as I fixed the sleeves. "thanks, I just didn't want to repeat the story six times." I trailed off as I fixed my shirt. "um if you need anyone to talk to I'm here for you and if you ever think about 'it' talk to me before you make the choice." he said as he play with his own sleeves. I felt like he was hiding something but I didn't know what.
what could possibly be hiding behind his emerald eyes?
(A/N) Hi guys! It has been forever I know but I kinda forgot but I'm hoping to get this story on the road soon:)
