Chapter 7

Hayes POV
Amber was walking towards me and then I see her fall hitting her head. Everything was fine one second but the next she was on the ground.
"Amber!!" I yell. I then hear someone come running down the stairs.
"What's wrong? Is she okay?" I hear Grayson yell while running over to her picking her up.
"What the fuck happened Hayes!?" He yells
"I don't know man she saw Jack and ran to him and I guess she got to tired and passed out." I say franticly.
"She isn't supposed to walk much never mind run!" He yells.
"Guys calm down we need to help her!" Jack yells. He's right we need to help and not fight.
"Go get me some wet rags and water." Gray says to me and Jack as he lays her on the couch
"Here" I say handing him it.
"Amber. Amber I need you to wake up for me okay. Come on Amber just wake up for me." He says while dabbing her head with the wet rags.
She starts to wake up slowly. I sigh in relief.
"Thank god" I say
"Am I dead now?" She says and it breaks my heart hearing she stills want to die.
"Am I finally dead now?"
"N-no Amber your not dead" Grayson says sad

Grayson POV
Hearing her ask if she's dead fucking kills me. I can't believe me and Ethan turned her suicidal. Like who the fuck does that.
"Amber your not dead. You just fainted and hit your head. You can't run anymore. It takes to much out of you to do it." I say holding her in my arms rubbing her head
"I'm sorry Grayson." She says
"It's okay just no more of it okay." I see her sleeve is rolled up showing her cuts I look at her and then fix it quickly.
"What was that on your arm?" Hayes said
"N-nothing Hayes." She says shooting a smile that I can tell was fake.
"Amber don't lie to me!" He yells at her. It makes her flinch and tear up.
"Hey stop yelling. You can't fucking yell at her. She can't take that shit. She is to fragile!" I say pushing him back
"Jack... let's go upstairs to talk about somethings and catch up on the years." She says trying to get out of the situation.
"Yea of course anything for you." He says helping her up.
"Thanks." She says to me and hugs me.
"Anytime beautiful." I say winking at her

Ambers POV
Hayes seen my arm and I knew I was in trouble and that I was gonna get yelled at. I hate being yelled at. Nothing good comes from it.
"Amber don't lie to me!" Hayes yelled I flinched at it because I get yelled at before I get hit. I tear up because all I want to do is leave. But I can't. There's a cliff near by. Maybe I can sneak one night. But I can't let them find out. I can't be here right now.
"Jack... let's go upstairs to talk about somethings and catch up on the years." I say
He says yes and helps me up. I see Grayson look at me sadly
"Thanks." I say kissing his cheek. I can't even look at Hayes because I know he is disappointed. And I hate that. I start to trip then I feel Jacks hands on my waist helping me
"Do you want me to carry you?" Jack asks
"No I got it." I say smiling. I don't have it. I feel like I'm gonna pass out but I can't let them do everything for me all the time. So I have to lie.
"Just let me carry you Amber." He says
"No I'm fine Jack." I say but like the other 2 he doesn't listen and he picks me up and goes to the room and sets me on my bed.
"So What has been going on with the twins?" He asked angry. I tensed up at his question
"Uhh."
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."
"No I'll tell you." I take a deep breath and tell him everything that happens with them and my parents. When I finish he had tears in his eyes.
"Oh my god Amber. Why did you let this happen? Why wouldn't you tell anyone?"
"Because my parents and the twins threatened me if I told anyone. So I took it. It was about 2 years ago when I stopped caring whether I lived or not so I started cutting then to and started to drink. I didn't have anything to live for. My parents hated me and everyone at school did to because of Ethan and Grayson. If you had a bad day, hey take it out on me,throw a few punches at my stomach and a few at my face and everything will all be better. No body cared about me. No body ever gave me compliments about anything about me but I don't blame them. Look at me. I tried to save the space I was wasting by being here by killing myself but I couldn't because I could never get my chance. I will never be anything to anyone. So I tried killing my self but got saved by Grayson and Hayes. They don't get it. I could have made everyone happy by leaving but they ruined it all for me and everyone else. So I'm still wasting the space. I'm still the nobody everyone dreads seeing so I just let them hit me. So if your ever having a bad day Jack just come on over here and hit me. It will help." I say. I hear people sniffling around me so I look up and I see Gray and Hayes standing at the bed crying along with Jack.
"Amber..." Hayes said
"Why would you say that I should hit you?" Jack says going to touch my hand but I move.
"Amber why won't you let me touch you?" He asked confused.
"I don't want to be here. I was supposed to be gone but you went and ruined it all. I was gonna be happy."
"Amber we all want you here. You can't give up. I won't let you. No matter what they have said and done to you, you matter so much to me. I should have never left you to be friends with the twins. We were so close. We used to hide out in the tree that had a platform and blankets and pillows for us we would go back there and just be together and laugh about everything and I gave that all up... I'm so sorry but I have you now. You should have told me what your parents and the twins were doing to you regardless if I was friends with them or not. You come first, you have always came first. I know it may have not seemed like it at times but you have..." Jack said. I couldn't say anything all I could do was cry. I am sick and tired of crying. I am sick and tired of being a nobody, and not mattering.
"Amber I am sorry you feel like that. But I don't feel like that towards you. I think you are beautiful and smart and kindhearted and a wonderful person. You matter so much to me Jack and Hayes." Grayson says
"It didn't seem like you cared about me and felt that way when I was crying and begging for you to stop hitting me. It didn't seem that way when I would cry out for help and you would kick me. It didn't seem that way when you threw me on the ground telling me to kill myself. It didn't seem like that when all I wanted was for you to stop but you kept going..." I say I can tell I hurt him. I'm surprised I said that I just look down.
"Amber..."
"Look I get it. None of you want me here so I will pack everything and go back home. My dad is probably pissed anyways. You are all free to go." I say packing all my things. I then feel someone come up to me and hug me.
"Your not leaving. Your staying right here with me. Your definitely not going back to your father. Your gonna live here with me and we are gonna get you better and your gonna have fun. Okay?" Hayes said looking into my eyes
"Hayes I"
"No Amber there's no point in fighting me about it. Your staying here and I'm gonna care for you and show you how it feels to be happy and treated right. It's about time someone made you feel safe. You need to feel safe and loved. So please just stay here with me and let me care for you and help you."
"Okay..." I say burying my face in his chest
"You need sleep let's get you to bed. Guys go downstairs and help your self." Hayes said. He lays me down in bed and begins to leave
"Please don't go..." I say
"I was hoping you would say that." He smiles at me. He comes under the covers and lays down I scoot closer to him and he smiles.
"I didn't mean for you to hear what I was talking about with Jack. I didn't think you would be up here."
"None of that's true. You are nothing like what you said about yourself. You shouldn't be putting yourself down like that."
"Thank you."
"Look I know you are in no condition to be in a relationship right now but just know when your ready I'm here. I will treat you right and I would never hit you. I know I yell at you when you cut but I don't want to see you do that. It doesn't only hurt you it hurts me. You shouldn't let what they did to you leave permanent marks on your body." He says
"Can I tell you something?" I say
"Of course." He says looking down at me.
"I have never really had a boyfriend before..."I say trailing off.
"Really?" He asked
"Yea..."
"Like ever?"
"Yes Hayes I have never had a boyfriend okay" I say getting a bit embarrassed.
"Hey it's okay. I'll be the best boyfriend you'll ever have, well that's of course when you are ready and if you like me.." he babbles I grab his hand and intertwine our fingers together
"I could get used to this." He says smiling big
"Me too." I say cuddling into his chest.

Hayes POV
When she intertwined our fingers I felt sparks.
I can't wait until she is ready so we can be together. I guess flirting for now will do. But she is worth the wait to me. Hopefully Grayson doesn't do anything to change her mind about how she feels. But she is perfect to me and he made her see that she wasn't. I look over to her seeing her asleep.
"Amber I'm gonna go eat something. Do you want anything?"
"No I'm okay thank you though."
"You sure. You need to eat something."
"I'm good Hayes I just want to sleep right now." She says
"Okay." I say and kiss her head before leaving. I walk downstairs and see Jack and Grayson sleeping. I go to the fridge and grab a SubWay sandwich I had leftover. I see Jack wake up and walk to the fridge as well.
"Sup" I say
"Sup. How is she?" He asks
"She is okay for now. But she is just really fragile and broken. She isn't stable she can't handle anymore heartache. She doesn't want to be here. She thinks she is a nobody and worthless. She thinks she is ugly and a waste of space but she isn't and when I try to tell her she doesn't believe it. She is too broken to be alone." I say sighing.
"Well she isn't alone she has us. I'm not sure what her relationship is with Grayson because he is the cause for some of her pain. But I know she has you and me. I have some work to do for leaving and all but I did nothing like what Grayson did to her. But I'm always gonna be there for her." He says
"Well it's good to know that. She needs all the love and support she can get. She has never been taken care of so it's all new to her. She gets distant when people try to care for her because she thinks they will leave. It's going to be hard as hell to make her see that she is nothing that the twins made her believe but I will make sure it happens." I say
"Yea. Do you want me to go upstairs and watch her or are you good?" He says
"Nah I'm gonna stay with her tonight. I don't wanna leave her." I say
"Alright bro night." He says walking to the door
"Dude you can stay here. It's late."
"Thanks. Night." He says. I walk back upstairs to see Amber curled up in a ball.
"Hey what took you so long?" She asks
"I was talking to Jack sorry." I chuckle at her missing me.
"Oh well I'm gonna have to fight him then." She said and I laugh at her.
"Why are you going to have to fight him?"
"Because he kept my warmth away from me and the hand I was supposed to hold." She says. I scoot closer to her and wrap my arms around her and interlock our hands together.
"Here is that better for you?" I ask
"Yes. Much better." She says
"Good because I like it like this."
"Hayes?"
"Hmm"
"Can you rub my back please?"
"Sure" I begin to rub her back when I see her smile and look up at me.
"You are so cute you know that Amber?" I say
"Thank you Hayes..." she says looking down.
"Hey I can't look at your cuteness when your head is down now can I?" I say lift her head up.
"No... I guess you can't....." She says.
