Dancer (One Direction//Little Mix)

Chapter 5

•Cora's POV•

I sat in the hospital bed, flipping through tv channels.

"So then, Harry came home and he was all grumpy!" Jade exclaimed. "It was super weird." I nodded, not really paying attention.

"Yeah, the boys should be here soon." Perrie shrugged.

I nodded and settled on watching Lion king.

"Are you even paying attention?" Leigh asked grabbing my hand. I shook my head and she frowned.

"Look, I know it's hard for you to go through this... but you need to open up and talk." I sighed and grabbed the remote, turning the tv off.

"C'mon Cor! We're your friends, your very best friends, also your sisters." Jesy whined.

I stared at her and but my lip. I haven't spoke once since I got here, I've been here for three days.

"Hi Cora, how are you?" A doctor asked walking in. I shrugged and she grinned.

"She's not talking!" Perrie complained.

"It's hard to go through this. It might take a couple weeks for her to get over it." The doctor explained.

"But, we miss the old Cora." Jade whispered. I glared at her and she laughed.

"Knock, knock!" Zayn yelled walking in.

"How are you?" Liam asked. I nodded and he pouted. "You won't talk to me?" He asked.

"She won't talk to anyone." Leigh groaned. Why is everyone acting like this? I'm scarred, I truthfully thought Rick loved me.

"I'm going to leave, just wanted to check up on you. Do you need anything?" I shook my head and the man walked out.

"So..." Louis muttered.

"Thank you." I whispered. Everyone stared at me and I sat still.

"You're welcome."

"Well, we know she can talk." Perrie mumbled. I creased my eyebrows and stared at her.

"So Cora, are you feeling well?" Zayn asked. I glanced over at him and shrugged.

"Hi, Cora, you're leaving today, if someone could sign her out. I'll help her get ready." Perrie nodded at the nurses words and walked out.

"You all have to leave while I get her dressed." The nurse smiled.

Everyone shuffled out and she helped me change into yoga pants and a shirt, Leigh brought me.

I sat down in a chair and she put my hair up, carefully avoiding the bandage on my forehead.

"Ok sweetie, you're ready to leave." I nodded and stood up. I stretched and walked out slowly.

"Bye Cora." I waved at the old man that sat beside his door and walked into the waiting room.

"Are you ready to go?" Liam asked wrapping his arms around my shoulders. I nodded and he smiled.

"You don't need to come back for check ups, unless you start bleeding uncontrollably in the head." The doctor stated. When I didn't respond, he walked away.

"Let's go." Everyone drug me outside, past the paps, and past the crazy fans.

They were all asking what happened, why I'm here, if I did drugs, someone even asked if I was going to die.

Liam and Niall helped me climb into the car and sit down. I buckled up and the others jumped in after me.

"So Cora, your house has been under investigation to see what hurt you. What did Rick hurt you with?" Jesy asked.

•Flashback•

-3 months ago-

Rick slapped me with all his might. I gasped and held my cheek.

"You told me you'd never hit me again!" I cried.

"Well maybe you shouldn't accuse me of things I didn't do!" He roared.

"I seen you kissing her!"

"You didn't see crap." He seethed.

"We're through." I whispered. He held me by the shoulders and shoved me against the wall.

"I swear, if you tell anyone ever, and I find out. I will kill you."

•End of flashback•

"Cora, are you ok?" Perrie asked holding my hand. I nodded and bit my lip.

"What did he hurt you with?" Jesy asked me again.

"He punched me. He cut my ear with a knife once." I mumbled, hoping they didn't hear me.

"It's ok, you can tell us." Jade sat her hand on my knee and squeezed.

"I did."

"Cora, since we're about to start to tour again, you're going to be staying at our flat, for three days. Then we're off." Perrie stated. I nodded and rested my head on Liam's shoulder.

"We also put a tracking device in your phone, so we know where you are. At all times." Leigh sang. I glared at her and rolled my eyes.

"We love you Cora, that's the only reason." Liam reassured me.
