Cara's POV

•1week later•

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" I yelled over the bickering of the boys siting in the back seat of my car. Instantly they all quieted themselves. We were on our way back to the hospital to pick Aria up and I thought I should warn the boys.

"now, I should tell you guys that Aria is a bit...unpredictable at times," I didn't really know how to explain this to them. Yeah my friend is in a way psychotic and has tendencies to go a tad but crazy but it's all good! I can't just lay that on all of them, "just felt I should warn you."

The rest of the car ride was mostly silent. I pulled into the hospital and we all walked into the hospital.

Aria's POV

I waited for a nurse to come in and tell me that Cara was here. I twiddled my thumbs and pinches the hospital blanket.

"Miss Torres, your friends are here." I sprang up and out towards the door, wobbling on the crutches given to me. All I wanted was to get out of this place. It didn't even register in my mind that the nurse said friends. As I made my way towards a very happy Cara, I noticed the five boys around her. I almost forgot. I surprised myself that I wasn't freaking out as much as I thought I would. I was pulled into a hug by Cara. Not many words were spoken until we got home though.

When we got home, I learned that all my bags were unpacked. I automatically felt a ping of stupidity, recalling all that happened. Way to start your new life Aria!

I made my way to the stairs leading to the bedrooms. I stumbled with the crutches over the stairs, almost falling just over the first step. I felt two strong arms wrap around my and pull me up. I was carried bridal style up the many stairs. Once at the top, I looked at who was holding me. I saw Harry look down at me and smile.

Asdfghjkl ermegerd! Holy flying poo!

I just smiled and muttered a "thank you," as he slowly let me back to my feet. Not knowing how to react, I limped into my room. Closing the door behind me, I fell onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. Way to be cool Aria! You were just in THE Harry Styles' arms and what do ya do? Make a fool of yourself!

Turning over onto my back, I spotted that the balcony door was cracked open. I picked up my crutches from beside my bed and made my way towards the door. I stepped out onto the balcony, the autumn sun beating onto my face. I sat down onto a small chair on the balcony and just stated at the sky.

Hearing a sudden knock, I spun around to see someone in the door frame of the balcony door. But, not mine, the door beside mine.

"hey," I met Harry's eyes. So his room was next to mine!

Ermegerd!

"H-hi," I managed to get out.

"how are you feeling?" he asked, sitting in the chair beside mine.

I looked down at my leg, wincing a bit, "never been better," I replied sarcastically. He laughed at my comment and leaned back in the chair.

Harry's POV

I have no clue what Cara meant. Aria seems absolutely fine to me. The two of us talked on the balcony as the sun slowly began falling. I noticed the cuffs of bracelets around her arms. I leaned in closer to her and moved around the bracelets revealing several scars and scratches.

"take off your bracelets," I told/asked her. Hesitantly she slipped off each bracelet one by one. I held both her arms and began counting her cuts allowed.

"64," I sighed coming to the last mark. I saw that she had her head down and her hair covered her face. Letting go of her arms, I pulled a piece of her hair from her face, seeing silent years roll down her cheeks.

Please, don't cry, I whispered to her. She looked up at me and put on a weary smile.

Thinking fast, I took off one of the bracelets I had tied around my wrist. It was a simple yellow bracelet made of strings and 3 dark beads. It was nothing special but still...

I wrapped it around Aria's wrist and tied it at the ends, "if ever, you feel like this again, cut the wooden bead instead. Just please try not to do this anymore," I said to her, stroking the cuts overtaking her arm.

I heard her whisper a small "thanks"

Without much thought, I leaned in and pecked her cheek saying, "get some rest," before turning around and going into my room.
