Grayson POV
I was downstairs explaining everything to the guys when Ethan asked me to follow him upstairs. We walk up and we see Amber running out of the bathroom. My first instinct is to look at her arms, which is covered by a hoodie.

"Amber, please tell me that when I lift up your sleeve there won't be any new cuts." I say
"Amber please tell me you didn't cut." Ethan says on the verge of tears. He doesn't know how she copes with things. Yea the way she does it is bad and dangerous but you gotta learn to catch it in time to stop her.
"Umm, no nothing new. Just the same ones healing and the same scars." She says flashing a fake smile. Ethan then walks over to her and slowly rolls up her sleeve. At this point she is silently crying.

"Amber, I was gone for 5 seconds. How did you do all of this?" Ethan asked.
"Ethan I'm sorry but I had to." Amber says.
"No you didn't Amber. You didn't have to do this. You could have easily came to me for comfort rather than your razors." I say.
"Grayson, you don't understand. I can't "easily" go to you or anyone because even if I do, as soon as I am alone I'm going to cut anyways. So just save the speech." She said rolling her eyes and walking downstairs. Ethan looks at me for answers. But i don't have them.
"What now? Do we stop her or let her go?" He asked me. I don't know really.
"Ethan I don't know anymore. Maybe we go after her." We both bod and walk out. Fuck...

Ambers POV
Well, that didn't go as plan. I walk out of the room and down the stairs. The guys look at me and see I've been crying.
"Amber are you okay?" Hayes says getting up. I just walk past him without looking at him. I go to the kitchen and look for my phone and grab it. I start to walk out of the door when someone grabs my arm. I look back and see Nash.

"Amber where are you going? What happened?" He asked.
"Nowhere and nothing." I say jerking my arm. I open the door and start to walk. I then hear people behind me. I turn around. And see Ethan and Grayson. Can't they take a hint?
"Look just stop following me okay. I don't want to talk anymore" I say
"But Amber we need to talk. I need to apologize and help you." Ethan says.
"Help? Help me!! You could have helped me I don't know maybe a few years ago!! Just save it. I'm going back home so I can get the worse of the beatings out now and can move back in. When I go back to school next week we can pretend that none of this happened and go back to normal. Sound good? Great." I say walking off.

"Amber we are not doing that!" Grayson yelled
"Sure we'll see when all of your friends are around then we'll see if you do or not." I yell back. I just need to get home and get this over with. I start walking and I'm 5 minutes away from home. I see my house and dad is home. I walk to the door and open it. Here goes nothing right.

"Where the fuck have you been!" John says charging at me. Before I know it, I feel a stinging sensation on my cheek.
"I was staying with a friend I'm sorry." I say.
"Fuck you slut. Go to the basement, I'll be there soon." He says smirking. We only go here when I seriously am about to get it. I deserve it though, I caused this. I get broken out of my thoughts by being pushed down the stairs.
"Ow" I say rubbing my head.
"Shut the fuck up you baby." He says whipping me with the belt. He drags me by my hair and throws me down. He picks up the belt and hits me at least 100 times before he stops. He then punches me in the face over and over. My nose is definitely broken with all the blood coming out.

Johns POV
This little bitch has the nerve to disappear. I start to punch her in the face then when her face is all bloody I start to kick her stomach. Boy have I missed this. It feels so good.

"John p-please s-stop." She says to me.
"Fine I'll stop" I say smirking. I walk over to the corner and grab the ropes. I tie her up and stick gauze in her mouth.
"You'll be down here with no food or water for 3 days. With beatings as well. Don't you ever leave again!" I say kicking her stomach.
"By the way, I kicked your mother out she was a bore. She never wanted to hit you." I say rolling my eyes. I then stomp on her wrist and leg then leave.
