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

Chapter Three

I wake up in the morning clutching Harry. I must have fallen asleep crying with him last night. I see him looking down at me and smiling.

"Sleep well?" He asks, rubbing my back.

"Yeah. Did you?" I smile into his green eyes.

"Yeah, there were a few moments where you were squeezing me a bit tight though." He smiles back at me.

"Oh..sorry." I stand up and grab my phone.

(3) New Text Messages

From: Luke

From: Luke

Beth? Text me back!

I giggle at the texts and reply. I turn to Harry. "Is it okay if Luke comes over today?"

He nods. "Sure! That would be fun." He smiles and we walk downstairs.

"You don't think Louis will mind?" Louis doesn't like Luke. For what reason? I don't know he just doesn't like him.

"He'll get over it." He winks at me.

The doorbell rings while we are all sitting on the couch.

"I'll get it!" I run and open the door to let Luke in.

"Beth!" He hugs me and says hello to all of the boys. "I need to go to the bathroom. Be right back!"

"What is he doing here?!" Louis yells.

"He's my friend Louis." I roll my eyes and sit back down.

"Well, I don't like him. You shouldn't be his friend." Louis crosses his arms.

"Why don't you like him?" I ask staring at him.

"He just sends me a bad vibe."

"Uh huh." I laugh.

"So. How are you guys?" Luke walks out to the living room.

"Good!" All of the boys except Louis answer.

"I'm doing just fine." Louis looks at the television. Liam nudges him with his elbow.

"It's freezing out there! I mean it is for being May." Luke sits next to me on the couch.

"It is kind of cold in here." I grab a blanket from beside the couch.

"I'll turn the air conditioning off." Harry runs to the other room.

"Did you guys hear about that girl who was bullied so much that she killed herself?" Zayn asks just as Harry walks in.

"She killed herself?" Harry shoots me a look.

"That's what they're saying." Zayn points to the TV and turns the volume up.

16 year old girl who's parents asked that we do not give out a name, commited suicide last night do to the cause of bullying.

"She was the nicest girl in the world. None one saw it happening. I think it was cyber bullying." Her friend tells us. "I just..I wish she would have told us before it went this far. Now she doesn't have a chance to come back."The girl on the screen begins to cry and the camera shoots back to the newscaster. I glance at Harry and he is staring me down. My eyes shoot back to the TV.

What? Oh okay.The newscaster holds a small device on her ear. We have been allowed to show a picture of the girl.A picture pops up on the screen of a curly brown haired girl with blue eyes. I gasp when I recognize who she is. She was a junior in my school, I think her name was Wendy. I didn't really know her but I always thought that she was beautiful. And she was. All of my emotions get the best of me and I start to cry.

"Beth, what's wrong?" Niall asks who was sitting on the other side of me.

"I knew her. I mean I didn't know her but she went to my school. Do you recognize her, Luke?" Silently he nods.

"It's horribe that this happens. If people are bullied they should just come right out and tell someone." Zayn frowns.

"Yes, they should. Especially if they think they want to kill themself's." Harry looks at me and I shake my head.

"Can you please turn this off? It's just too sad." I wipe away my tears and Zayn turns off the TV.

"Are you okay?" Liam asks.

"Yeah I'm fine. I need my iPod." I start to get up.

"No, I'll get it for you. Where's it at?" Liam starts to walk upstairs.

"It's in my school bag." I say settling back down on the couch.

"Alright." He walks upstairs and comes back down a few long minutes later with my iPod.

"Thanks, Liam." I take it and start to play temple run. Liam just nods and sits down on the couch silently.

~Liam P.O.V.~

"Can you please turn this off? It's just too sad." She wipes her tears and I feel so sorry for her. Zayn shuts off the TV.

"Are you okay?" I ask feeling concerned.

"Yeah I'm fine. I need my iPod." She starts to get up but I stop her.

"No, I'll get it for you. Where's it at?" I start to find my way up the stairs.

"It's in my school bag." She says and sits back down on the couch.

"Alright." I jog up the stairs and look for her bag. I open it up and look around for her iPod. Instead I find a tiny plastic container. I pull it out and open it up to find a small razor blade with dried blood on the tip. What was this for and why did she have it? I slowly put it back in her bag and fish out her iPod. I run back down the stairs and hand it to her.

"Thanks, Liam." She takes it and starts to play a game. I just nod, too shocked to speak. I didn't want to make a scene so I swallowed hard and tried to act like nothing just happened.
