Loving Someone

Cuz her friend kept cutting her wrists (1)

Chapter 1: "Cuz her friend kept cutting her wrists" - Paris, The 1975 (I have always dreamt of slow dancing to this song lol)

Part One: And this is how it starts

Kat's POV:

I bounce up and down as I waited for her to open her gift. The box was shaped like a long rectangle and had had a color of light pink.

She looks quickly at the box and she shakes it around.

"Is there anything even in here?", she asks me suspicious.

I roll my eyes playfully and laugh. "Of course! Now just open it!", I cry, impatient.

"I told you, you didn't have to get me anything", she sighs.

I frown at her. "It's your birthday. Of course, I'm giving you something", I say. "Why do you never want to get gifts from me?", I ask her.

She shakes her head and mutter, "Nevermind".

My frown deepens as I can hear that I should change the topic.

"Ok, but just please open it", I beg her.

She smiles and says, "Fine. Only because you already bought it".

Her thin hands start unwrapping the ribbons and I see a little red scar on her wrists.

I start to hold her hands, to see if I saw right but she slaps my hand away.

I withdraw my hands quickly and stare at her.

"What are you doing?', she snaps.

"I-I was just going to help you unwrap your gift", I lie.

She glares at me and hands me the box back.

"Keep it if you want it that bad", she spits at me and leaves me there alone in the hallways.

I didn't see Kiera that whole day. Not even the whole week.

Which was really suspicious because we have a lot of classes together and I hadn't seen her attending. I try contacting her but she doesn't reply.

Kiera never tells me anything about her personal life. I mean that's totally understandable but when we have group projects, she can never meet up with us and if we ask if we can go to her house, she quickly says no. I've never seen her parents attend school events and when I ask her about it, she quickly snaps at me. I have a bad feeling that her parents were abusing her. I knew she wouldn't tell me anything so I decided to go to the office and tell them about her cut wrists and her reaction when I ask about it.

However, that just caused more problems. Kiera started yelling at me and we didn't talk for a long time. The counselor told me there was nothing to worry about but I knew they were wrong.

How could her parents have gotten away with the school?

I was really worried about her.

I keep thinking there's nothing I can do to help. I already contacted the school but that didn't work. I don't even know where she lives so I can't get evidence of what her parents are doing to her.

Kiera won't even tell me what's going on in her life. So how am I supposed to help?

I stare at her birthday gift and sigh.

I know this box can help her.

OMGOMGOMG I JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR THE LOVING SOMEONE MUSIC VIDEO XDD

:/ idk about this yet... this is kinda a teaser cuz idek if this is even good...

Like I know what to write... but I just don't know if you guys will like it cuz I feel like a ton of people read the first chapter and then the next chapter people stop and I lose my confidence on writing and I soon quite...

I know it may not seem like my book summary describes this but give it patience :) it takes time to understand the characters...

AANNND this is hella short but I'm tired so :p (and I doubt anyone would read this).

Also, my book is separated by parts, Part One and Part Two.

Part one is about Kat and Keira's relationship while Part Two stresses more about how The 1975 plays a part. It's not really a fan fic because the characters in the book are not developing a strong connection with the band. Instead, the band helps build confidence and ect... you will have to read for yourself ;)

Remember to read , vote ⭐️, comment , and follow ✔️!!! ;p thx it helps a lot :D
