Scarlett's POV

"DADDY PLEASE! PLEASE!" the knife was raised above me threatening to fall and plunge into my body at any second. The burns across my rubs and neck were excruciating I was sobbing not just in pain. But in fear for my life. I heard a horrific scream a weight pushed me to the ground. I look up to see Harry falling slowly the knife wedged in his rib cage slowly dragging across to his stomach I scream louder. I watched the boy who had protected me from the moment I set foot in his life. The boy who loved me and I looked up to. I admired him. And now I was watching him fall.

My eyes shot open. I inhaled sharply. I shot up from the bed instantly regretting it when I was met with a sharp pain "HARRY!" I begun janking at the needles in my  arms. A pair of hands grabbed mine ristraining me from doing anymore damage "HEY! HEY! CALM DOWN LOVE! ITS OK!" I looked up Into the pair of bright green eyes I Immediately stopped in my tracks "haz..." He gave me a small smiled "yeah its OK I'm here" I felt the tears stinging my eyes I fell into his chest sobbing "its OK love. I told you I'd always be here. I promised you that." I sat back a little "how did we get here? You nearly died" I only then noticed the rest of the boys sitting looking at me and harry "I found you." A shaky voice sprang from the corner where zayn stood "you? Of all people? I thought you wanted me gone?" He looked down "can we talk about that?" I raised an eyebrow "zayn the girl just woke up can't you-" he shot niall down "no this can't wait. I need to talk yo her alone. Please lads." They all got up except Louis who was particularly close to me "Louis if me. Her brother is OK with letting zany talk to her than the least you could do is get up and come with me" he looked at me I gave a slight nod he rose from his chair kissing my forehead "he tries anything call me. I'm right outside. I'll break his jaw" his thumb brushing over my cheek "I don't doubt that for a second Lou. I'll be fine." He smiled "i know you will be. When he's done I want to talk to you aswell. Just me and you" I nodded as he left the room.
Zayn perched himself at the end of my bed "can I tell you a story?" I raised an eyebrow "really you wanted me alone to tell me a bedtime story?" He chuckled "please?" I sighed I didn't like entertaining the idea but I nodded dispite this "once there was a boy. He was strong for everyone. Worked hard. Loved life. he had a sister. She was younger. And he loved her very very much. However she was broken. She was very damaged. She'd black out all the time, and hurt her brother and mother. Now the boys father would always overpower the younger girl and would always result to violence to stop her. This in turn broke the girl even more." He paused looking down at his ring twiddling it round his finger i sat up a little "see the boys father hated him. Just because he could calm his sister. One day His father lost it he shoved a knife through the boys shoulder. Then choked the boys mother to death... He made it look like the boys sister had done it. He had her sectioned and swore to the boy that if he spoke a word of the truth to anyone he'd end out with his mother in the ground. So the boy didn't say a word. He became cruel and unloving. Then a girl was bought into his life. And he hated her. She reminded him of his sister. Of everything that he had loved that had been taken away from him. He realised one day after the girls brother knocked ten barrels of shit out of him... He realised he didn't hate the girl... He wanted to protect her. But he was scared that if he opened up to her and protected her... He was scared that she would be snatched away from him. Just like his sister" he took a deep breath I didn't realised how much my jaw had dropped "thats why you treated me so poorly.... Because you was scared?" He looked defeated as he nodded like all guards were down. "Please forgive me.... I'm so sorry. It doesn't excuse what I did but I'm so sorry" i looked him in the eyes "you're right. It doesn't excuse it. But I forgive you. I know how it feels to be scared of your father. To be treated with you life. To loose what you love. That's why I forgive you zayn." He smiled through the tears briming his eyes "thank you. For saving my life. And Harry's. And for telling me that story I can see it was hard" "I couldn't save my sister from my father. But I could save you from yours." He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear "you remind me of her so much. Your smile. Your hair. How nervous you get." He was observing me so closely I could see how broken he really was "you should get her out of where ever she is. The boys will protect you tell the police what really happened he won't hurt you." He looked down "ive filed for her release but that's all I can do without him killing me." I went to say something else but he stopped me "Louis wanted to talk to you I better let him in before he kills me to" I nodded "thank you for forgiving me Scarlett" "thank you for saving my brother zayn" he gave a hopeful smile before walking out.
It took 2 seconds for Louis to run in "did he touch you? Did he hurt you? What did he say?! If he said anything I'll kill him!" I chuckled "Lou calm down. He most he done was apologize and tuck my hair behind my ear he was fine. Me and him are OK now. We spoke about his sister" he stopped "oh. He actually spoke about her?" I nodded "he said I reminded him of her. That's why he went psycho he thought if he tried protecting me like his sister I'd be taken away just like her." He sat down on the bed nodding "none of us thought about that of Crouse its only me and has who know about it... Anyway love we need to talk" I smiled "about what?" He started blushing and panicking slightly "crap I didn't think this through ERM OK. So i . I might. I may. ERM ERM." I laughed leaning back watching him he took a deep breath "I think I'm in love with you Scarlett"
