I slam my phone on the counter, smashing the screen in the process. "I'm going to fucking kill her," I growl. "Hey calm down, babe. Before you break something or someone," Louis says coming towards me. "I'm going to break you if you tell me to calm down again," I snarl at him. I start to squeeze my hands together, trying to release some of the anger. Niall comes over to me and takes my hands in his. "If you're going to squeeze something, squeeze my hands. I'd rather you hurt me than you hurt yourself. They aren't worth you hurting yourself over," he says calmly. I relax the tension in my hands, "You know I can't do that." "Just breath, don't let Ray get to you," he says. "I can't help it though. She's use to be close friend and now she's marrying the man who's destroyed my life. She basically said I deserved everything Alvin did to me. And I know I do, but to hear someone else say it," I say looking down at our hands. Niall lifts my chin up to look at him, "Hey, don't say that. You didn't deserve anything that happened to you. You're the sweetest, most amazing person I know. You do not deserve any of what Alvin did to you." I hug him tightly. He hugs me back. "Don't leave me," I mutter out. "I never will," he says holding me tighter. "I'm going to actually kill Ray. No one tells my best friend that she deserves to be abused and gets away with it," Louis says furiously. I pull away from Niall. He keeps his hand on my back as I turn to Louis, "No one is killing anyone, Lou." "To hell we aren't! This bitch fucking said you deserve to be abused and kidnapped and every bloody bullshit thing Alvin did to you! She can not get away with this!" Louis nearly yells. I flinch at the yelling. "One, don't fucking yell. Two, I don't give a shit if she fucking killed me. No one is attacking her in. I don't want any of you going after her. I would rather take the blunt of it than you guys jeopardize your careers for me," I say. Louis takes a deep breath, calming himself down. "I'm sorry, but, babe, you know I can't just sit back and let this go by. None of us can," Louis says. "Lou's right. She attacked you first. We have to do something about this," Harry says. "But what? We can't just upload a video calling her out on all of this," I say. The three boys look at each other then me. "That actually isn't a bad idea," Niall says. I look up at him like he's crazy. "Babe, go get your camera. We're making a video telling the public about this. Maybe this can snap her into realizing how dumb she's being," Louis says. "Are we seriously doing this? Do you know how much hate Ray's gonna get from this? I got hate just because I have connections with you guys. Your fans are going to give her so much her from this," I say. "Maybe it'll snap her back into reality. She needs someone other than the group to tell her how stupid she's being. And our fans are the perfect people to do so," Niall says. 

So, I guess we're going through with this. Niall is getting the camera all set up in my recording studio. (Yes, I have a recording studio that I forget to use sometimes.) The three boys are going to be in the video. I'm gonna put their names in the title so it'll get more people to watch it. They want as many people to see this one as possible. "Okay, it's all set up and recording," Niall says coming over to us. He sits next to me with Louis and Harry behind us. I don't speak for a couple seconds so I can edit that out of the video. "Hey, guys! It's your girl, Sarah. And today I am joined by three of the craziest people I know. Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, and Niall Horan. Today's video is a little different then normal. I didn't actually want to make this video, but they forced me to. To understand this whole thing, you have to know that I was abused, physically, emotionally, and sexually, by my ex-boyfriend, Alvin Jackson. Now, that isn't a secret. He's in jail for countless things involving my family and me. I have made a video explain all of that situation, a link to that will be in the description. He actually broke out of jail about a year ago. During that time he happened to sleep with an old high school friend of mine, Ray Black. She has been in a few of my older videos on here. She was drunk so I don't think she completely knew it was Alvin-" Louis interrupts me, "bullshit. She knew exactly who it was. She fucked Alvin on purpose." "I don't think it was on purpose, Lou," I say looking at him. "I broke up with her two weeks before they fucked. She hated you because I left her for Harry and you. She didn't want us being so close. So to spite you, she went and fucked your ex," Louis says. "We're talking about that once this videos over," I say to him. Why didn't he tell me this when Ray told him that? Niall puts his hand on mine to calm me down. "About two months after they slept together, Ray called Maya and me. She told us she was pregnant with Alvin's child. As you can tell, we're all furious about that situation. Other issues popped up and we forgot about it. This morning I got a call from Ray once again. She has the audacity to tell me she's marrying Alvin, the man who has ruined my life, and that he doesn't deserve what's happening to him," I say. "What I find hilarious is that she has the guts to tell you with her knowing the three of us listening that you deserved everything that Alvin did to you," Harry says. "She's a fucking bitch. I can't believe she would say that about you. He fucking put you through hell on top of the hell your parents were already giving you," Louis says. "Ray, just so you know. I didn't want to announce this to the public. They were going to do this with or without me," I say to the camera. "Ray, just so you know. I did want to do this. You're an asshole for marrying Alvin. You're an asshole for say for siding with Alvin. You're an asshole for saying my best friend deserved being abused. You're a fucking asshole," Louis says. "So, why are we telling the public about this? We could've just done this whole thing in private," I say looking at the three boys. "We want you guys to know the whole story. If she goes through with this, you guys will know all about it. So we want you to know what actually happened, not the rumors or fake news. Maybe you guys can try to convince Ray not to go through with this. She won't listen to us," Niall says. "She will never listen to the four of us," Harry says. "I'm ending this video before you guys start screaming or some shit," I say looking at Louis. "Hey, I'm not gonna scream," he says defensively. "Mhm," Harry says. I turn back to the camera smiling, "that's all for this weeks video. If you want to see more of this beautiful face, hit subscribe. If you want to see more videos with these three in it, hit like. If you have any video suggestions for the future of what you want to see or who you want to see in them, comment down below. And that's it, bye!"

Once the camera's off I drop the smile, taking a deep breathe. I get up, but nearly pass out. Niall catches me just in time. "You okay, Sar?" he asks. He holds onto me as I steady myself. "Yea, just a little dizzy," I say casually. "You're really pale and you're shaking," he continues. He lets go of me but keeps his arms out like a baby learning to walk for the first time. "I'm fine, Ni. I'm not going t-" I start falling to the ground as I try taking a step forward, but someone catches me. Harry and Louis practically jump over the chairs in front of them to get to me. I black out for only a minute or so. When I come too, my head's on Niall's lap. I slowly sit up. "Are you okay?" Harry asks. I nod my head, "yea, I'm fine. Probably just drained from the past two days." Louis looks at me like I'm crazy. "Babe, you have never passed out because of your episodes being that bad. What's going on?" he says concerned. "I-I don't know," I say not convincingly at all. "Sarah, have you eaten today?" Harry asks me. I pull my sleeves over my hands. "Did you eat yesterday?" Louis asks. I continue to mess with my sleeves. "Sar," Niall says calmly. I look up at him. He's so worried about me. "When was the last time you ate?" he asks. "The twentieth," I say quietly. The three boys look at each other. I look down at my hands, disappointed in myself. "We have to get her to the hospital," Niall says. My head snaps up. Not the hospital. I'd rather go deal with my parents than go to the hospital. "No no no no no," I say fast. "You haven't eaten in like a week. You have to go," Harry says. "Please, no. I can't go," I say near tears. Realization hits Louis, "lads, we can't take her." Harry and Niall look at him like he's crazy. "Please, if I go and Alvin finds out, he'll hurt me again," I plead. I look at the three boys, tears streaming down my face. "Alvin isn't going to hurt you, Sar. The doctors will help you feel better," Niall says calmly. I shoot up, ignoring the dizziness, "please, don't make me go." I start backing up as the three boys get up. "It's okay, Sarah. Alvin can't hurt you anymore," Harry says. My back hits the wall. I'm cornered. I can't get out of this. The boys continue trying to calm me down, but I drown out their voices. I squeeze my eyes shut, awaiting the punch, kick, something. "Babe, it's me. I'm not going to hurt you. You're safe now," Louis says. I open my eyes and jump into his arms. I cry into his chest, "don't make me go, Lou." "You aren't going anywhere, babe," he says comfortingly. "I fucking hate Alvin," Niall growls. "You and me both, mate," Harry says. "How could you do something like that to your girlfriend? He told her he loved her then beat the living shit out of her just because. And then he would abuse her even more because she went to the hospital? Who the fuck does that to someone?" Niall says furious. "Psychopaths, that's who," Harry says. I pull away from Louis. "I deserve it, that's why," I say quietly. Niall comes over to me, "hey, you do not deserve anything he did to you. He's a worthless piece of shit who doesn't know how to treat a woman right. You deserve so much better. You deserve the world. I'm going to make sure you get nothing less." I hug him, "I love you so much, Ni." He hugs me tight, "I love you too, Sar. You're gonna get better. I'm gonna make sure of it." 

We're in my room on my bed. Niall's sitting next to me with Louis sitting in front of me. "Why haven't you been eating?" Niall asks concerned. "I'm just stressed about everything. I'll be fine," I say. "Clearly you won't be. You passed out because you've been starving yourself," he says. Harry comes into the room with some goldfish for me. I take it from him. I feel the boys' eyes on me. I look up at them. "Eat it or I'm going to force feed you," Louis says. I take a couple goldfish and eat them. "Can someone turn the AC on or something? It's really hot in here," I say taking my sweater off, leaving me in a tanktop. Harry turns to go put my fan on, but stops in his tracks. He comes over to me and takes my left hand. He turns it over so the bottom of my arm is shown, exposing my fresh cuts. "What's this?" Harry asks. I rip my arm away and cover my arms with my sweater. "It's nothing," I say. I eat some more goldfish to try to avoid talking about it. "Sarah," Harry continues. "Drop it, Harry," I say flatly. "I'm not going to drop it. You're cutting again. You need to talk about it," he says pushing it. "No, I don't. I'm handling it on my own," I say. "Hurting yourself isn't handling it own your own," he says. I stare at him dead in the eyes, "what do you want me to fucking do? I would go to my best friend, but you blow up every time I do." He stares back offended, "are you saying it's my fault you're cutting?" "No, I'm not. But you sure as hell aren't helping," I snap back. His jaw tense. "Say it, Harry. I fucking dare you," I say. He storms out of the room without a word. I put the bowl down and storm after him. I nearly pass out again, but I ignore it. "Don't you fucking walk away from me. If you want me to talk about why I'm cutting again then you are going to fucking listen to me," I say walking after him. "Harold Styles!" I shout at him. He goes into his room and slams his door in my face. I bang on the door, "fucking get out here!" "Sarah, leave him alone," Louis says putting his hand on my arm. I push him off me, "no, he's the one who brought it up. I didn't want to tell anyone anything but he kept fucking pushing." I turn my attention back to Harry, "if you aren't going to help me then don't fucking bring this shit up, you ass!" I push past Louis and Niall and storm back to my room, slamming the door behind me.
