Ellas P.O.V -
I collapsed onto my bed in floods of tears after another attack from my boyfriend Blake, followed by a screaming match with my mum. I ached all over and the tears wouldn't stop flowing. I pulled my knees up to my chest and lifted up the sleeves of my hoodie, sobbing harder as my eyes scanned over the fresh bruises ontop of old ones. Blakes words kept playing over and over in my mind - 'you deserve this', and I did. It's my fault my dad left, my fault he abused me as a child. My fault mine and my mums relationship has been left in ruins ever since. My fault he abandoned the both of us. My fault any relationship i've had ends in tears - and my fault my current boyfriend abuses me too. I deserve everything I get. The only two people in the entire world who know everything thats happened to me, and the only two people I trust are my bestfriend Megan, and my cousin Brad, Brad Simpson. I grew up with him as he lived with me and my parents, but he moved away to London a few years ago to focus on the band he's in with his bestfriends James,Tristan and Connor. They've recently got signed and are becoming well known, and i'm happy for him but he blames himself for everything that's happened to me, because the abuse started just after he moved away..
I wiped the tears from eyes and pulled out my laptop, before logging onto skype and starting a video call with Brad. It rang twice before he appeared on the screen beaming from ear to ear. His facial expression soon changed into a look of concern once he saw the state I was in. "Again?" he sighed looking at the screen with simpathy in his eyes - I simply nodded in reply. "Dont cry Ells, it's not your fault" he reasurred trying his best to calm me down. "I-it is" I sobbed as Blakes words came flooding back. Brad's jaw tensed in frustration, he took a few deep breaths "No it's not." he said blunty "it's theres, you dont deserve whats happening to you, or what has happened to you in the past. Nobody deserves to be put through what you have, and its about time I do something about it" he continued, I looked at him in confusion. "I want you out of there. Away from your mum and away from him. Pack your stuff, your coming to live with me and the boys here in London" he said, I froze staring blankly at the screen. "B-but what about the others?" I asked as the tears finally slowed "dont you worry about them, James already knows you, and the others will be fine with it I promise. Your my cousin and I love you, and I have only your best intentions at heart." he smiled "now go and pack, I want you on the next train down here, let me know when your on the train and i'll meet you at the station ok?" he grinned "Ok" I replied, smiling my first proper smile of the day. "Good, love you cuz!" he grinned "love you too" I replied ending the call before pulling out my suitcase and placing it down on my bed. Thousands of thoughts were running through my head, I was actually going to get away. Away from all the pain and all the hurt, I smiled to myself before freezing on the spot - what about Megan?. I grabbed my phone and texted her telling her to come over before I continued packing, making sure I left nothing behind I'd miss- other than my bestfriend. I didnt want to leave her, but I knew I had to. If I dont leave now, who knows what will happen to me. I'd end up iceolating myself even more than I already have, and I'd probably end up dead. I finished packing everything I needed just as the doorbell rang. I slammed my suitcase shut before sprinting downstairs and throwing the door open, grabbing Megans hand and dragging her upstairs into my room. "Whats up?" she asked before stopping in her tracks, her eyes scanning my now practically empty room. "Whats going on?" she asked looking at me in confusion, I sighed deeply before answering her. "I'm leaving" I mumbled, her face dropped. "WHAT?! Where to?! Why?!" she questioned walking towards me. "I'm going to live with Brad. Blake hurt me again, badly and Brad doesnt want me here anymore. He's leaving me no choice" I explained as she listened intently "but what about me?" she mumbled wiping her eyes. "I'm gunna miss you like crazy. I'll phone you and skype you and you can come down whenever, Brad and the others will be cool with it" I reasurred "but it's for the best" I added picking up my suitcase - she nodded in agreement. I dragged my case downstairs closely followed by Megan, to be met by my mum at the bottom of the stairs. "Where the fuck do you think your going?!" she spat harshly, "too London to live wtih Brad." I replied bluntly walking closer to the door. "I dont think so Ella! You walk out that door and we're done do you understand me?!" She yelled. "You wanted me gone and I'm going, Brad wants me away from here. away from Blake, away from the pain AND AWAY FROM YOU!" I screamed throwing the door open and stroming down the path with Megan. "GOOD RIDENCE!" she yelled slamming the door behind the both of us, it hurt knowing those were the last words I would hear off my mother, for atleast a long time, if not forever - but I knew what I was doing was right. After a short walk to the train station I arrived at the platform with Megan by my side, and tears were starting to form in my eyes. "Dont, you'll make me cry too" she mumbled pulling me in for a hug. "Your calling me everyday, telling me everything thats been happening, I'm coming down to see you whenever I can, and promise me you'll try to be happy? London's not like here" she smiled. "Its not that easy Meg, but I'll try" I smiled back blinking away my tears as my train pulled up infront of us. We had one last hug before I climbed onto my train and setting off to London, leaving my mother, abusive boyfriend and best friend behind.
So theres the first chapter! I'll update the next part as soon as I can, but till then hit me up with feedback telling me what you think so far! Thanks!
