Im Only Human

Don't Tell

Taylor's POV

I pull up to Zayn's house and smile as he walks through the door to meet me. He wraps me in his arms and kisses me on the top of my head.

"How was you're day love?" he asks me.

I smile. "It's was good. Do you know why Mac wasn't at school today?" he looks down at me and frowns. "Liam and had no idea where her or Niall was? Do you?"

He sighs and pulls me into the house. He intertwines his fingers through mine and looks me in the eyes.

"Mac wasn't at school today because she almost killed herself." Zayn says looking away from me.

I pull my hand away from his. "What do you mean? Mac would never do that. She's not like that. I know she isn't."

He shakes his head. "She cut herself."

I stand up. "No."

He stands and takes a step toward me but I take one back. "She cut too deep and she lost a lot of blood. Niall found her in her tub with pink and overflowing water. She was unconscious."

I start to pace back and forth. She would never do something like that. She always seemed so happy all the time. She's like a little sister to me so if something was bothering her she would tell me. Wouldn't she?

"Where is she?" I ask. I stop my pacing and look at him.

"Louis is taking her home. Beth doesn't know anything so don't tell her. Niall and Liam made us promise not too."

I nod my head and start for the door.

Zayn grabs my wrist and stops me. "One more thing." I nod for him to continue. "Jackson is the reason she did it. He sent her these horrible messages. He's the reason her mum is in the hospital, Taylor."

I look at him with wide eyes. "Why isn't this fucker in jail yet?" He laughs. "This isn't funny, Zayn. Her mom is in a coma."

He face turns serious. "I know, but we have no proof that he did it. All we have is text messages and Mac broke her phone."

I nod. "Okay. Well I'm going to see her and then after that I'll come back and get you so you can watch me kick Jackson's ass."

He laughs and kisses me. "Good luck with that."

I smile and walk back to my car.

"Might want to hurry. Niall might beat you to the ass kicking."

Beth's POV

I watch Louis walk Mac into the house. I look at the time. School just ended for her and my shift at work starts in thirty minutes.

"Hey Mcke- What the hell are you wearing?" I gawk her outfit. She's in men's clothes. "I hope you didn't go to school like that?"

"She didn't go to school. Her and Niall got drunk of their asses and didn't go to school." Lou says as he shuts the door behind him.

"And I'm wearing Niall's shirt and Louis' shorts. I didn't have any other clothes." She says and she walks into the kitchen to hug me.

She has bags under her eyes and instead of them being the bright green they usually are, they've become a dull forest green. They looked red and irritated. Has she been crying?

I look at the bandages on her wrists. "What happened to you?"

She looks at her bandages. "Uh.."

"Rope burns." Louis says.

I raise an eyebrow at them. "Rope burns?" they nod. "Why do you have rope burns?"

"Why do you ask so many questions?" she says rudely.

I just roll my eyes and grab my keys. I already know that those weren't rope burns on her wrist. She thinks I'm stupid but I'm not I know everything.

I even know what Jackson is planning. He let it slip one day when we were talking about Mac. I told him he wouldn't get away with it but he is persistent enough that he just might accomplish his goal.

I start for the door and then stop to tell Mac when I'll be home. "Lou, are you going to be here for a while?" I ask him.

He nods. "I want to talk to Mckenzie about something."

I nod and walk out the door. I pull my phone out once I'm in the car and dial the number I need. They answer after three rings.

"She's back home."
