I told him everything, and he asked me....

As I stood there wrapped in Lukes arms I began to think of all the things that have made me depressed, and want to hurt myself. And slowly I looked up at him with a bit of caution in my eyes. "Do you really want to know, because its going to take a long time to tell you all of it if I do?" I ask him as he walks us over to a small couch positioned in the corner of the room. "I want to know everything so that I can help you in any way I can." He said calmly as He re-wrapped his arms around me after I sat down. I couldnt help but snuggle close to him as everything poured out of my lips. I told him everything. My moms death to my dad kicking me out and everything in between even when my ex boyfriend joshua had tried to rape me our junior year on the way to a football game. When I finished I was curled in a ball clinging to luke as tears streamed down my face. Not used to letting my emotions show I jumped up and curled into the fetal position in the opposite corner. Not just scared of his reaction, but terrified he might use that information to humiliate me. There was nobody else that I could run to. No one else knew about these feelings, and only a select few knew about my scars. He ran over to me and pulled me into his chest saying over and over how he would never let anyone hurt me again. Even if it meant dragging me on tour with him. He held me close to him and began rubbing my back again, and I was beginning to relax when three guys walked into the room laughing really loud and startling me so bad a fresh round of sobs racked my body. Causing them to run over and ask what was going on and if there was any way that they could help. I flinched away as one with red and black hair reached to grab my hand, and immediatly regretted it when his face fell. He reached out and grabbed my hand from me and whispered, "hey its ok Im Michael I just want to help you." Then he gently brushed a few strands of hair out of my face as I looked warily over at the other two looking at me with worry in their eyes. He chuckled a bit before adding, "and this is ashton and calum. They wont hurt you either I swear." And at that the one named ashton looked at my wrist and pulled me out of Lukes lap and into his. He put his wrist next to mine, and whispered "I've been there. See. You can trust me." As he said this I couldn't help but let my head rest on his broad shoulder instantly feeling at ease with the four guys surrounding me. Something about them just made me instantly relax, and enjoy finally having something close to almost brothers again. Seeing as how my brother essentially disowned me not long after our mom passed away, and hasnt said two words to me in the last three years. As one of them, probably Luke, began to rub my back I eventually fell asleep curled up in Ashtons lap.

Lukes pov

I watched her breathing even out signalling that she was asleep, and I looked over my best friends. "Well what are we going to do now," Cal asked quietly. "I want to bring her with us," i replied being serious. While they all just looked at me as if Id lost my mind. "You guys dont understand. She has NO ONE. She needs someone to care for and about her. She needs someone to be there for her. She told me what I think is only a part of what got her upset, but what she did tell me is a lot for one person to deal with alone." When I finished my my rant there faces had all softened, and ashtons grip on her had tightened. I could tell he didnt want to let her go. Just like any fan, or person for that matter, that he saw had scars on their wrists. It reminds him of when he did that. And now that hes past that he wants to help everyone that he can. "Well if you really want to bring her we'll have to talk to management, and make a few arrangements but it shouldnt be that hard," michael says as he continues to rub circles on her hand with his thumb. All of the sudden we hear random music begin to blare out of nowhere, and Heather jolts awake diggin in her pockets for her phone. She talks quickly and eventually is panicing for some unknown reason. When she finally hangs up she bolts upright and gets ready to run but I quickly grab ahold of her wrist and turn her to face me. "Hey whats wrong," I ask quickly. "Theyre about to play my favorite song and i CANT miss it. I literally saved for three months so that I could see this song live." She said so fast I barely understood. I chuckled a bit and took her hand. "Cmon then well take you to our seats and we can all watch it together." I smiled as she practically lept into my arms. I kept my arm tightly around her waist as we walked together to our side stage seats. I made a few motions to the crew and noticed when Niall and Louis walked towards us. They had huge smiles on their faces as they began to yell to the crowd. "Now it seems that our mates from 5sos have made a new friend, and from what we hear she is a big fan of our next song. So maybe if we all cheer together she might come on stage and perform with us...hmmm??" Niall was right in front of us and had his hand out for Heather to grab. She clung to me but i just smiled and nudged her towards him mouthing 'go on'. As Louis got the crowd to yell "lets go sweetheart." When i looked back at her again she was grinning from ear to ear and had her hands reached towards Niall as I helped her onto the stage. I watched as her eyes lit up as they began singing Diana, the song that she had told me not much earlier had saved her life and helped her get past her depression. As they performed she danced around and had a good time being pulled around by the lads. As they finished the song it was time for the intermission so we met them backstage. Where Heather sprinted into my arms. "How in the world did you pull that off," she practically screamed in my face. "Well the fact that hes our best mate probably helped a little," Liam boasted very proudly. I couldnt help but smile as I wrapped my arms around her again holding her close to me. "Wow mate you just met her and youre already so possesive," zayn joked before jesturing towards us as they hurried toward wadrobe so that they could change. I held her even tighter, but i couldnt look at the others. I knew that they were all going to just judge me and her for that matter. "You dont know what shes been through," i barely whispered as i looked at her and whispered a few words in her ear before I gently pulled her sleaves up and showed them a glimpse of her scars. They all stood there in awe, except for Louis who walked over and whispered a few things in her ear before hugging her quickly as she smiled and nodded at him. "What was that about," I questioned lightly as he walked away. "He told me that if You guys did anything to hurt me to let him know and hed 'set you straight'" she said as she smiled real big. I laughed as I walked her over to where Michael and the others were making calls and trying to pull somethings together. Ashton looked up and smiled as we got close and pulled her into his arms. "Hey mate, dont we have something we all need to ask this beautiful girl?" Cal asked as Mikey ended his call. I couldnt help but blush bright red as I looked at Heather grabbing her hands in mine, "look, Heather I know weve only known you for a few hours. But I really want to do anything I can to help you, soooo...." I trailed off looking directly into her eyes, "will you go on tour with us? So we can help you through this." I finished as the others went on about how we'd be the brothers she'd never had, and how we'd be the best friends she'd always wanted. And the different things we could teach her, everything from guitar lessons to how to play video games(the right way). When I looked back at her she was staring at me with tears in her eyes nodding furiously. I pulled her into possibly the tightest hug Id ever given as the lads surrounded us in a group hug. "I swear we'll help you through everything" I whispered in her ear before pulling away from the hug. I was truly amazed when she rested her head against my chest instead of letting go. I gently wrapped my arms back around her and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
