Finally found you

Elizabeth's POV

Days have passed, and it's Friday. I've been hanging with the guys a lot lately, especially Niall.
Ever since he saw me try to kill myself he has been so nice and generous, and when he said that all of this wasn't a charity sorta made me realize that he wasn't a charity.
He was just a human being trying to be nice to me, him and his friends were just trying to be nice to me. I let them into my life, and I let them make me smile for the first time.
I walked into my room and sat down on my bed, I didn't have the urge to cut today. I actually got out my homework and started on it so I didn't have any to work on this weekend.
I was actually happy because of one guy.
I finished all my homework before five o'clock so I decided to call Niall and see if he wanted to go on a walk or something.
"Hello?" I heard his smooth voice.
"Hey Niall, it's Elizabeth,"
"Oh, hey. What's up?" his voice perked up after hearing my name.
"Nothing much, I finished all my homework, and I was wondering if you wanted to go to on a walk to the park or something?" I asked in one breath.
"Yeah, of course I'll go," he exclaimed. "I'll pick you up in 10?"
"Awesome, see you soon." I hung up.
I went to the bathroom and looked at my reflection, I actually looked good today.
I went and my room and got high waisted skinny jeans with some rips in it and a crop top. I changed out of my skirt and socks into my jeans, out of my red polo into my crop top, and my vans.
After I got dressed I put my hair in a messy bun and walked downstairs. I saw my mom making dinner, Alex and Jaden sitting in their seat at the table and Robert passed out on the couch.
"Hey mom, can I go out with a friend? We are most likely going to the park or on a walk or something like that," I walked over to Alex and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Um, that would be fine but be home before twelve o'clock please?"
"I will. I love you mom," I gave her a kiss on the cheek and the doorbell rang. "Bye! Love you."
I opened the door and saw Niall standing there. I step outside and it was cooler than I though, oh well. I can survive the cold.
"Hey," he said when he pulled me into a hug.
"Hi," I said as I buried my head into is chest.
"Are you okay?"
No.
I nodded my head into his chest, "I just wanted to see you and get out of that house." I said after we pulled out of the hug.
"Elizabeth, you're lying."
How does he always know I'm lying?
"Yeah, I am lying, I'm not okay," I said as we started walking towards the park. "But you make me happy. I actually didn't have the urge to cut when I got home. Yeah, I'm still broken and everything, but I feel better when I'm with you."
"Elizabeth, can you tell me why are you broken?"
Nobody's ever asked me that before. No one. No one cared. We got to the park and sat on the swings.
I decided to tell him.
"It started when I was 15, well I had just turned 16. It was my sweet 16 and my mom told me before the party that Robert proposed. I was pissed. I hated Robert, I still do, but I had to act like I was happy for her. She was pregnant with my little brother at my party, her and my dad got in a divorce 6 months ago because my dad found out she was pregnant with Robert's kid. Then during the party she went into labor, she was 2 months early. Robert raced her to the hospital and I stayed at the party with everyone. I ended up telling everyone to go home and we would have a redo party." Tears were already streaming down my face. "My aunt kept yelling at me to not drive to the hospital, but I did anyway. I drove even though I only had a permit and I needed an adult in the car. I got to the hospital and I saw Robert and his friend, they both looked beyond pissed. Robert pointed at me to his friends and they started walking to me and they pushed me into the janitorial closet and...."
Niall started rubbing my back. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," he said in the most caring voice I've heard in a long time.
I shook my head no. I needed to let this out. I've kept it from people for too long.
"They raped me. I remember everything from the condom to them telling me to keep my mouth shut to them saying 'if you tell anyone you will regret it.' Niall, I couldn't tell anyone. Do you know how hard it was to keep something inside?" he shook his head no. "I couldn't take it so I cut to tell myself. I hid from everyone. I hid for my new born brother, my step sister. everyone. Well I hid from everyone until you." I stayed quiet and Niall came and tilted my head up to his.
"You don't have to go through this alone." He kissed my lips. I stood up and wrapped my arms around his neck. The kiss wasn't for love or anything like that. It was for safety, for him to let me know that I was safe with him.
"C'mon," I grabbed his hand and led him to a tree. "Are you good at climbing trees?"
"Yeah, I've been climbing since I was little," he told me while staring into my eyes.
We climbed up until we got to a special branch that I've been climbing up to since I was little.
We got to the branch and talked about his childhood, his family life, my family life, my dad, my siblings, and everything. I looked at my phone and saw it was only nine. We kept talking and talking until 11:30 and he walked me home.
I haven't been this happy in two years. I didn't even remember what being happy felt like until now.
