I stood on the balcony, staring out at the English sunset as the wind blew softly in the air. I was standing emotionless, the wind soothing me. I was wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a long sleeve Vans tee shirt. I heard the sliding glass door open, and I felt a familiar arm snake its way around me.

"Meg, are you okay?" Louis asked me. I continued to stare out into the sky. "You hate me. All the boys hate me." I said bluntly. Louis was taken aback by the sudden comment. "Meg, no we-" Before he had time to try and pursuade me, I slid the sweatpant leg down to reveal 5 fresh new cuts. "Don't say you don't. You all hate me. I'm a freaking burden... Why do you even care about me..." I said coldly. Louis' grip in me tightened. "Babe... Why did you cut?" I looked up into Louis' eyes, full of hurt and sadness. "Because I'm depressed, Louis... I don't know why I am... I'm just sad..." I began, and I started to choke on my tears. Louis hugged me to him, putting his chin on my head, holding me.

"Five months... Five months I was clean..." I cried. Louis pulled me away by the shoulders, and he looked at me intently. "Megan... The boys and I are here to help... And we're more than willing." I hugged Louis, as tears slowly cascaded down my face.

"Megan... I love you. Don't ever forget that."
