Lilly Pov

I was in my room when I heard the front door open & shut, I heard my brothers voice & Damon's & Ruby's. I was staring at the wall in a sitting position when they walk in "Lilly?, what are you doing?" Zane asks concerned "thinking" I murmur not looking at them.

"Come on, were gonna watch a movie" Ruby said, I hold my arms out "my legs are asleep, help" I said pouting "come on" Damon said picking me up bridle style, they walk down stairs and Damon sits on the couch, he looks at me as I crawl off his lap and sat next to him with my legs crossed "Jayden spread a rumour about you" Ruby frowns.

"What?" I ask curiously "that you were abused as a child" Zane grumbles angrily and gave me a sad look, I felt my insides twist "I need some air" I said getting up and walking outside the backyard. I sit on the grass as tears streamed down my face "Lilly?" Damon asks concerned as he sits next to me.

"Its ok, don't cry, it's just a stupid rumour" He says frowning as he wipes my cheeks with his thumbs "its true though" I said sniffling "what is?" he asks wrapping his arm around my shoulders reassuringly "my Dad went to jail for abusing me and Zane and my mother" I said silently crying.

"Is that why you moved here" he asks softly "yes" I said looking down "why'd he do it?" he asks frowning "I don't know, but he did, that's probably why I'm such a screw up" I mutter. "Your not a screw up" he says moving closer to me "obviously I am" I said looking at my wrists "did you really do that because of your Dad" He says angrily "not just because of him, Damon" I frown facing him.

"These don't make you screwed up" he says grabbing my wrist in the air, I smile sadly at him "when I was 10, I tried to kill myself, then again when I was 13 and Zane told you I 'fell' on a cat and it clawed the shit out of my wrists" I said shrugging his arm off as I stand up, Damon seemed frozen.

"Why?" he asks confused as he stood up "like I said, I'm screwed up, can't help being me now can I" I said rolling my eyes "I like you just the way you are but I'm trying to help you, I'm here, ok?" he says pulling me into his arms as I cry into his chest.
