Locked In (including danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil)

Chapter 9

Riots POV

I woke up hugging Dan and him hugging me. He woke up and we both stared sleepily. Phil and Brittany were staring at us. We both jumped apart and made awkward noises, remembering last nights occurrences. "Never thought he would get you, Riot." Brittany joked. "It wasn't like that... I had a... nightmare... and Dan comforted me. Nothing, happened." I said the last part slowly and waving my hands. So I lied about why he comforted me, big deal. "Mhmm." Brittany wasn't convinced. "Whatever. Believe me or not, nothing happened." I said. She rolled her eyes. We all talked and ate a bit except for Phil who wasn't hungry at the moment. Phil went to tidy up in the boys bathroom as Brittany did the same in the girls. They would probably take a while. Dan walked over to me. "Hey, can I talk to you?" he said as he nodded over to the back of the room. I followed him. I was not looking forward to this conversation. Like, at all. "Show me your wrists." He said suddenly. "I'm sorry... what?" I asked, confused. "Your wrists. Take off your bracelets and show them to me." He said with many gestures. I didn't do anything. He took my wrists and moved the bracelets back. I winced as it snagged some slightly fresh cuts. he must've seen the scars and cuts. "Okay, I always suspected and joked about, but this is actually serious, Riot. It's not okay." He said, shaking his head. "And what do you care anyway? I'm not the slut your sleeping with! I'm not your girlfriend! I mean for god sakes! I'm not even fucking pretty! so if this is just a way to get me into the bloody bed, forget it! because it's a waste of both are times! especially when I'm a fucking virgin and not worth your 'precious' time! so kindly leave me to my problems, and bud the fuck out!" I said and walked to the corner desk and sat. He stared at me stunned. Then he came over to me. "I'm not trying to get you into bed." He said calmly and softly. "I'm just worried about you. And don't you for a second think your not pretty." He said. I was taken back, I'll admit. "Your just saying that to 'make me feel better", and 'so I stop cutting'. Well, Dan. It's not gonna fucking work." I told him, calmer than I just was. He picked me up and made me stand. He then lifted the back of my shirt slightly. "Oi! what the fuck Dan?! get the fuck off me!" I yelled and squirmed. He traced bruises and cuts and burns on my back. "Dan. Just forget it." I said as I turned around and pulled my shirt down. "They did this to you? your parents?" he looked hurt. It wasn't his fucking problem. "I told you they would kill me if I came home. That's why I can't go back. Just leave me be Dan." I said and then he gave me a big hug. what the fuck? "I'm sorry all this happened to you. No one deserves that." He said, letting me out of the hug near the end. But not before Brittany and Phil had just walked out. Oh god dammit. We just came out the hug, so it could've looked like something else. Phil looked down at his feet and Brittany smirked. "I knew it." She said. My cheeks blushed and I caught Dan looking at me with his eyes and smiling.
