Okay here's the next chapter guys. I'm sorry for all of you who don't like Tess, I promise everything will work out in the end.

---------------------------------------------

Niall's p.o.v.

"I don't think I can get better this time Niall," she said, her voice shaking just from standing in the same room with me.

She was pressed against the wall farthest away, her hand on the doorknob.

"Tess you can, I know that you can," I assured her, not making a move to get closer to her.

"I can't get better without you but I can't have you," she said quietly.

"Tess," I sighed.

"I'll be in my room," she whispered.

Then she ducked out of my room before I had the chance to say anything.

I dropped my head into my hands. When did everything get this bad again?

---------------------------------------------

(Flashback)

"Tess," I called, knocking on her door as I turned the unlocked knob.

"NO!" she screamed.

"Tess what's wrong?" I yelled, throwing open the door.

She was sitting in the corner of the room, pressed up against the wall, her knees - my body fails im not my knees praying - pulled up against her chest.

Her eyes darted around frantically, and she looked overall terrified.

"Tess, what happened?" I asked, walking over to her.

"NO! DONT COME ANY CLOSER. I WONT LET YOU HURT ME!" she screamed, sobbing now.

"Tess, I'm not, why would I hurt you?" I asked, backing away slowly.

"HELP SOMEBODY HELP ME!" she screamed.

Someone must have heard her yelling because some guy who I'd never seen before, wearing one of the staff shirts, burst into the room.

"We need a tranq in room 108," he said into his room.

"What happened?" he asked me quietly.

"I just came in here and she started yelling at me not to hurt her," I explained, shrugging.

"Go back to your room kid. We'll handle this," he said, gently pushing me out the door.

(End of flashback)

---------------------------------------------

"Since I messed this up, I need to fix it," I said out loud to myself.

Okay, she said that she can't get better without me, but she can't have me.

I can't help her get better, she's terrified of me. She was shaking just from standing 8 feet away from me.

Wait. What if? No I can't. I don't think I can do that. But. I have to try.

Maybe if I get better first, then Tess can.
