The Way That You Saved Me (Completed/Part 1) (In Editing)

Chapter Two

"Hey guys, while you figure out what movie we're watching I'm going to go get my phone." I head up to my room and Harry follows me.

"Bethanie?" He asks walking up behind me.

"Yeah?" I avoid his eyes.

"Tonight when we were cooking.." I knew where this was going. "Do you cut yourself?"

"Don't tell anyone, Harry. I mean it." I close my eyes and a silent tear slides down my cheek.

"Beth, why do you do that?" He gently grabs my hands and rolls up my sleeves.

"I can't say. Promise me that you won't tell anyone?"

"Beth-"

"Promise me!"

"Okay! I promise! But you need to tell me why you do this." He looks at my wrists.

"I...I'm bullied, okay?" I look at the ground and pull away from him.

"How come you never told any of us?"

"I didn't want you trying to fight my battles for me. Don't say you wouldn't have because you know you guys would've."

"Who bullies you? Don't Luke or Katie do anything about it?"

"Kennedy Phillips. And no they don't see it happening." I begin to cry and Harry takes me in his arms.

"You need to do something about this. You can't keep cutting yourself. How long has this been going on?"

"Since I was fifteen. So two years." I cry into his shoulder.

"That's horrible, Bethanie." He holds me close and I cry with him for a long time.

I follow her up to her room. This just couldn't wait.

"Bethanie?" I ask feeling nervous.

"Yeah?" She refuses to look at me.

"Tonight when we were cooking.." I choke up and swallow hard. "Do you cut yourself?"

"Don't tell anyone, Harry. I mean it." I see a tear roll down her cheek.

"Beth, why do you do that?" I grab her hands and roll up her sleeves revealing cuts and scars.

She looks away. "I can't say. Promise me that you won't tell anyone?"

"Beth-"

"Promise me!" She looks so scared.

"Okay! I promise! But you need to tell me why you do this." I glance at her poor wrists.

"I..I'm bullied, okay?" She looks down and yanks her hands away from me.

I look at her, completely shocked. "How come you didn't tell any of us?"

"I didn't want you guys fighting my battles for me. Don't say you wouldn't have because you know you would've."

 "Who bullies you? Don't Luke or Katie do anything about it?"

"Kennedy Phillips. And no they don't see it happening." She begins to cry and I take her in my arms.

"You need to do something about this. You can't keep cutting yourself. How long has this been going on?"

"Since I was fifteen. So two years." She cries into my shoulder.

"That's horrible, Bethanie." I hold her close and I cry with her for a long time.
