BROOKE'S POV

I just woke up. I smile. It's been a long time since I've smiled. My life used to be terrible. I used to get beat and abused every day by the one and only.....Louis Tomlinson. He is now part of One Direction. I hate him so much.

He ruined my first 3 years of high school. We were best friends since we were born. LITERALLY! Our parents were friends. We shared everything and vowed never to share any of it. When we were 7 Louis did something really bad.

Only me and his mom know. Even when he hurt me I never told anyone, mainly because I had no one to tell. When we finished grade 8 is when he started changing. He was no longer kind to me or going out of his way to make me laugh.

I get ready for school trying to make my smile come back. It does, but its fake. I go down stairs grab a muffin and walk to school. I pass the Pigeon Tree. Its a tree Louis and I named because it's always covered with pigeons.

We called them Kevin. We passed the tree everyday and Louis would go "Look, It's Kevin!" and I would say "they all look the same". So we called them all Kevin, except 1. One landed on my head once.So we tied a small blue band around it.

He named that pigeon Brooke because my favourite colour was blue. I frown. I stop to look at the tree. It looks the same.I think its weird, when Louis left, almost all the pigeons disappeared. I make it to school just as the bell rings.

It seems louder more commotion. I walk into my first class which is math. There is a giant poster on the wall.

*-ONE DIRECTION COMES TO SCHOOL! LOUIS TOMLINSON RETURNS TO DONCASTER FOR 1 WEEK ONLY-*

This is not happening. Why? He told me he would never return to my stupid, ugly face. Yet here he is, bringing his little boy band friends. So its settled, I am not coming to to school for a week. A small price to pay for no more beatings..or worse.

The teacher walks in. "Hello class, as you can tell by the poster that One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is coming back to Doncaster for a few days for a concert. That means no classes for all week so we can get the school ready"

That's good I won't miss anything. "We will meet in the gym to find out what needs to be done" she says and we walk towards the gym. I sneak out of line and into the bathroom. I check to see if anyone is here.

It's empty. I roll up my sleeves and look at my scars. I stopped cutting right after Louis left. The cuts have healed obviously. The scars are very much there. I exit the washroom and walk to the front. I pass the cemetery on the way home.

I look for a certain grave. Found it. Edward Tomlinson. I look at it and think. Not many people attended the funeral because no one liked him. He was an asshole and a grade A alcoholic. I don't pray or try to talk.

I just stand there. I hear voices behind me. I walk away from the grave and continue my way home. I look back to see who was behind me. I stop walking to get a better look. 5 boys walk up to the same grave.

"Is this it?" One asks with an Irish accent asks.The boy in front just nods. He's wearing suspenders. It can't be Louis, he had piercings, tattoos and always wore black. This kid is wearing stripes and SUSPENDERS.

I wonder who cares about Edward. I walk back on the path and step on a branch. *SNAP* I wince and see 4 heads turn in my direction. Shit! The fifth one finally turns. He gasps and I get a good look at his face. Louis.

He closes his mouth. Anger flickers on his face. He whispers something to his friends. Anger shows on their faces too. I high-tail it back on the trail. I can hear foot steps running after me. I make it home and lock the door.

I sit on the couch and breath. I thought he wasn't coming for a week or so. What did he say to make them so angry? What did I do to make him mad at me? I hear voices outside. Of course he remembers where I live.

"Wait guys, I remember the secret entrance we used as kids" I hear Louis faintly. Oh no! I run into the basement and find the door that leads to the garage. I go to lock it but the handle starts turning. I don't move I just stand there.

The door opens. 5 boys emerge from the door. Louis smiles, more of a smirk. "Brooke, I missed you" he takes a step closer. I take a step back. I run up the stairs and grab the phone. Louis and the rest of them follow me.

"If you come any where near me I will call the police" I say, my voice trembling. Everything he did, call me names, beatings...rape. I almost drop the phone. Louis laughs. "What are you going say? One Direction is in my house" he smirks.

"They will laugh at you. Your used to that though" He says. It's true. "Probably, but if I tell them how Edward died that might be different" I say and watch the smirk fall off his face. "I haven't said anything for 9 years, leave my house" I say.

"I can't" is all he says when the other four come in front. They grab me and "I missed you Brooke" is the last thing I hear before I am submerged into darkness.
