Dancing Sister (T.H)

Chapter 3

TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

Toms POV
As I get to the airport and see my brothers I can't help but smile and I walk quickly towards them. They turn around and start coming towards me Paddy running ahead of them tackling me in a hug, my parents following behind the twins. I look around and can't help but notice that Kits not here, so where is she? "Hey mate" Harry says as he greets me, alongside Sam. I continue towards my parents and my mum pulls me into a hug, "hey love good to have ya home". I pull out of hug and before I can stop myself I ask "hey where's Kit?" Shit. "She's busy son, she wanted to be here though" my dad says giving me a smile. I really missed Kit but then again we haven't spoken in nearly two years... this could go two ways.

We get home and it's exactly the same... I missed it.
Just as we all sit down my best mate Harrison walks in and comes over to me "Hey mate good to have ya home" he says smiling. "Good to be home" I say enthusiastically.

Kits POV
"Fuck" I say as I fall out of the lift... AGAIN. "Stop stressing we'll be fine trust me" Noah comforts. "I know it's just with Tom coming home, everyone always thinks he's the greatest! Such a success! But what about me?! I can't mess this up Noah it has to be perfect" I say my eyes beginning to water. He brings me in for a hug and we try the duet full out with the lift and thank God we got it. My coach smiles at us and tells us to go home and relax before the competition on the weekend... ha relax, good joke that's funny!

I head home and oh no... Harrison's here which means... he's also here. Ugh! As I approach the door I hear laughing, I open the door and there he is. "KIT!!! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" He yells excitedly as he comes over to hug me. "Yeah it shows when you didn't contact me at all" I say sassily as I walk upstairs to my room leaving to my mum and dad telling Tom that I'm just tired from dance. "She dances?" I hear Tom ask. I roll my eyes as I go into the bathroom. And that's when I see it... my old best friend, a razor. I feel the scars that are on my wrists and thighs as I feel tears beginning to fall down my cheeks. I hold the blade in my hand close to my wrist, wanting to feel the pain again that I haven't felt in almost a year. Tom is the only one who doesn't know about me self harming because I begged my parents to not tell him. I breathe in as I prepare myself to do what I didn't think I would ever do again when... KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! But instead of doing anything I just sit there holding the blade above my wrist staring into space. "Kit open the door love" "Kit?" "Kit open the door please!" I hear Tom yell as he begins to panic. But I don't move. Just as I'm about to make a cut I hear Harry's voice outside telling me to wait.
He gets he door open and I see a confused Tom out of the corner of my eye obviously missing the blade. Following Harry is mum and she shuts the door behind her. Mum takes the blade out of my hand while Harry checks for any new cuts while i sit there, still staring into nothing.

Toms POV
I go upstairs to try and talk to Kit when I hear crying in the bathroom. "Kit open the door love" I say wanting to help. But she doesn't answer. "Kit?" Still nothing but quiet sobs behind the door. "Kit open the door please!" I beg as Harry runs beside me. "Whats wrong?" He asks frantically. "She won't open the door" "shit" he mumbles. He gets the door open and I see Kit sitting on the floor crying but before I can ask what's wrong my mum runs through and shuts the door behind her. What was that? I think to myself as I slowly wonder downstairs.

Harry's POV
"Thank god she didn't cut herself, she's been doing so well to throw it away." I say to my mum after we calm Kit down and she went to sleep. I know why. It's because of Tom. Kits not his biggest fan and I know how stressed she is about her dance competition.
