Friends?

Chapter 6

Emily's POV

I wake up tired, groggy, and sad as my memories crash over me. I also hear snoring. Maybe it's Joey because he decided to come back. I look on the floor for the source of the snoring hoping it is Joey. When I see it's Niall my hopes get crushed but I'm not as upset as I thought I would be. It's nice to know that someone care. Maybe..Maybe he likes me? Snap out of it Emily. He's your babysitter he is supposed to pretend to care.

I grab some scar covering pajamas and am careful not to wake Niall. He looks so peaceful when he sleeping... Nope I can't think like that because he will leave me like all the rest.

When I get into my own personal bathroom with clean pajamas I turn the shower to as hot as I can stand it. I then grab one of the sharpest blades I can find and set it on the edge of the shower and get in. As I wash away my dirt I begin to wonder what life would be like if showers could wash away my past. It would be great but then I might forget about Joey and I can't risk that. Just hearing his name in my head makes it hard for me to see and breathe. I want to break down sobbing but one of the boys might hear me. So I do the only thing that eases the pain, I cut. I cut my thighs and arms deeper and more than before. More blood flows out of me and I start to feel dizzy. I barely manage to slip on my clothes before I pass out the water still running.

Niall's POV

After Emily went to sleep last night, I went into her room so she couldn't sneak out. When I woke up and couldn't see her I got a little worried but I realized the water was running so I took a deep breath and relaxed. She was still here and everything was fine.

I was starving because when Emily was missing I was so nervous I couldn't eat, so I went downstairs and started devouring food.

After scarfing down 4 pop tarts ,3 chocolate chip muffins , half a pack of bacon, and 5 glasses of milk Emily still isn't down. Its been about an hour I think I should check on her. As I walk upstairs I hear the water running. Hm. That's weird i would've thought she would be out by now. When I knock on her bathroom door and get no response I get a little worried. Maybe she just didn't hear me. I pound my fists on the door, making sure she can hear me. Still no response.

"Emily!"

"Emily!

"Answer me or I'm kicking down this door!"

"1.......2........3!" I shout as I kick down the door.

I look around and not seeing her immediately makes me worried.When I look down, I almost wish she had run away again. Instead I see her blacked out face down with blood patches on her thighs and arms.

"ZAYN, LIAM, LOUIS, HARRY GET IN HERE NOW!!"

Zayn's POV

I run towards Niall's voice as soon as I hear him yell.

"What is it ma-"

And that's when I see it. Emily covered in blood patches and face down on the floor. I turn off the water and help Niall flip her over. We are moving her into her room as the other boys come in.

"What in the bloody hell?" is Liam's first reaction.

Niall is totally freaked out. He hasn't said a thing since we brought her in here.

I check on her pulse and breathing rate.

"Zayn, is she ok?" asks Niall timidly. Poor kid I feel so bad for him.

"Her breathing is shallow and her heart is a little slow but she is alive. Shes hanging in there."

And at that point everyone,including me, let out a breath we didn't know we were holding.
