"It all started back in freshman year of high school, I had everything everyone dreamed of. I had a happy, complete, and supportive family. I had the best friends I could have asked for. I think that's when it started to go down hill" I glance up at him to see he is very interested in my past. He nods, his eyes almost begging me to continue.
I close my eyes and continue.....
*start flashback*
I'm in the bathroom when I hear talking outside the stall. " I can't stand that slut! All she ever does is act like a bitch. 'Omg I'm so rich and my life is so perfect'. Besides she could stand to lose at least ten pounds, she's such a pig." I start to listen curious as to who it is when I recognize the voices. Emileigh and Claire, My best friends of 10 years. I remain silent as they continue, " I wish Kaitilyn would just die already. No one even likes her. Besides she doesn't even fit in."
*End flashback*
I quickly open my eyes. Looking at Niall causes me to just start crying again.
"Little did they know I was in there. I couldn't begin to fathom w-why or what I had done to make them say those things about me. That was the day I began to shut down. I never talked to anyone. I just kept to myself and--- " I truly couldn't even finish my sentence because of the dark thought that was to follow.
"Shhhhhhhh.... its okay", Niall comforted me. I hated thinking of those memories. I have never felt so betrayed, so hurt, and by people I genuinely thought would be there for me. Although I don't know Niall all too well, the fact that he is still here, still holding me with tears in his own eyes, I know he will never hurt me. "Why don't I call the other boys and we all go roller skate and get your mind off of things?" he offers. I nod my head.
"I'll go make my self look like I didn't just cry a river. Just give me ten minutes", I say with a small smile. Just as I get up I hear keys in the front door. Immediately, my face lights up. I run to the door just as it opens revealing my (what seems like only true) friend/roomate Marie walking through the door.
" Marie!", I can't help but scream.
"Kaitilyn!", she screams louder back wrapping me in a tight hug. Niall enters the room to see what all the commotion is about. Marie slowly drops her arms from around me as a shocked look appears on her face. Her stare immediately snaps to me.
"Holy S----", she starts to say but I quickly clamp my hand over her mouth. I wait a second for her to calm down. She looks to me and nods finally calmed down. Niall is still standing behind me chuckling.
" Sorry. She didn't know haha," I laugh looking at Niall.
"It's okay," he says to me." Hi love," he says in his thick Irish accent looking at Marie.
"Umm.... Hi," she says obviously still in shock.
Niall then turns to me, "The boys will be here in about 10 minutes so if you were going to go 'fix your appearance' then now would be a good time," he says using air quotes. I look at him smiling then Marie and I sprint upstairs. After going through everything in my wardrobe I pick an outfit out for Marie who ended up wearing a creme colored t-shirt, a black beanie, and jeans. I quickly throw my hair in a high ponytail and then we both hear the doorbell ring as we turn to face each other with big grins on our faces.
