Idk - Zach Herron

Chapter 4

"I got my scars from my ex-boyfriend." I said with a sigh. I looked at my feet until someone pulled my head up to look at them. It was Zach. He gave me a hug and all of the others joined in. They all pulled away besides Zach. I hugged him tightly and then pulled away.

"What do you mean you got them from your ex-boyfriend? You don't have to answer if you don't want to." Corbyn said. I looked at him then looked at Micheal. She nodded. I nodded back.

"I will answer question you guys have. Just not questions about like other things if you know what I mean." I said then walked over to the pool and sat on the side and put my feet in. The boys got into the pool and spread out.

"I got the big scar from my ex throwing a knife at me when he was drunk. He was an abusive person." I said looking at Corbyn then to the rest of the boys. They all looked at me sadly.

"Did he do anything else that bad?" Daniel asked and then looked at the water probably unsure if he should have asked that. I nodded.

"Yeah." I said once I realized he wasn't looking at me.

"Ummm, like what?" Jonah asked while looking at me with worried eyes. I looked for Micheal and she was sitting in a tanning chair watching us talk, once she noticed I was looking for her she walked over and sat next to me.

"He hit, stabbed, raped, threw things, shouted, touched, and a lot more but I don't think she will like to think about that." Micheal said while holding my hand.

"W-wait, you were r-raped?" Jack said. I looked at him then to Micheal.

"Yeah..." I said looking at my hands in my lap. I got up and went over the chairs. I sat down and put a towel over my legs. I started to cry. I looked at my hands and then heard the guys getting out of the pool. I see one come over and kneel down next to the chair. I couldn't tell who it was because my vision was blurred from my tears. They pulled me into a hug. They pull away from the hug and the others came over and gave me a hug. My vision was starting to clear up and I saw Zach kneeling next to the chair.

"Thank you." I say whiling looking at them. I see Micheal behind them and looking as if she was not sure if she should join. I wave her over and she moved around the boys and sat next to me. I pulled her into a tight hug. I heard her starting to tear up.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry please. If you cry I am going to start crying again and you know I hate crying." I said laughing ever so slightly.

"I know, but I can't help it. I wasn't there for you when I should have been and all that happened because I wasn't there to--" I cut her off.

"Nobody could have stopped anything from happening, you have to realize that it isn't your fault. If it is anyone fault it is mine since I decided to date him and stay with him after the first time." I said grabbing her hands.

"The first time of what?" Jack said. "I am sorry, you don't have to answer that." He said after a couple seconds of saying that.

"The first time he touched and hit me." I say looking at him then back at Micheal who was now bawling her eyes out.

"NOOO, stop, I hate seeing you cry. Just because you are a pretty crier doesn't mean you can cry." She laughs at me small joke. "What, you actually look good when you cry unlike me, you get that from mom." I said looking into her eyes.

"And you get your ugly crying from dad!" She said while laughing a little bit.

"OK, lets get off the sad, depressing topic and try to have fun." I said getting up from the chair.

"OK." The guys said at the same time. Daniel picked up Micheal and threw her into the pool. I started to laugh super hard when her head came up to the surface. She had the most pissed off face. Jonah ran over and pushed Daniel into the pool and Micheal started laughing so hard.
