Letters To Them

Chapter 23

Grace's POV:

'So Grace how come your staying here,' Shawn asks? 'Well... I... Um..,' I start. 'You don't have to tell us,' Aaron says. 'I can't but Cam, Matt, Nash or Carter can,' I say. They all look at Cam. 'Eell I guess I'm doing it,' he says chuckling.

Cams POV:

'Well it started a week ago. I was walking down the street thinking about something or someone to be honest and I saw a girl on a skateboard,' I say. 'Where is my skateboard,' Gracie interrupts me? I hold up my hand to silence her.

'So I was walking down the road when I saw a girl skateboarding. I noticed she was swaying heaps and leaning to one side so I ran over to her. As I got to her she collapsed into my arms. I looked at her and saw it was grace so I sprinted back to the apartment with her in my arms. I took her to the hospital and they took her into surgery from losing so much blood,' I say, 'then she woke up. We talked and the next day I told her she couldn't go home. So here we are now.'

The boys nod. I look at Gracie and she's got her head in her hands. Matts rubbing her back soothingly while Carter whispers things to her. 'Gracie,' Johnson says? 'Mm,' she says looking up.

Graces POV:

'Why did you loose so much blood,' Gilinsky asks? I sigh and stand up. I take off my hoodie and roll up the back of my t-shirt. I hear the boys gasp from behind me. I roll my to back down. 'That and this,' I say showing them my arms.

Gilinsky hops up and walks over to me. He grabs my hands and looks me in the eye. 'When was the last time you cut,' he asks? 'Earlier today,' I say, so quietly it's hard to hear. Unfortunately Matt and Gilinsky hear me. 'What,' Matt shouts? I flinch at his sudden outburst. 'When? Why,' he continues shouting. He seems pissed off.

'You don't understand Matthew,' I say turning around looking at him, 'my life is shit. I've been abused by my parents since I was 12. My sister died 4 months ago. Cutting just makes life more bearable and to add to that I'm getting so much hate on twitter ever since those stupid tweets.' I storm off up to my room. I slam the door shut causing a loud bang. I lock it.

Shawns POV:

'Dude why'd you shout at her,' Cam yells at Matt? 'I don't know. I didn't mean to,' he says guiltily. 'Let her cool off then you need to apologise to her,' Nash says. He nods. 'Shit,' I shout suddenly. Everyone looks at me because I rarely curse. 'Her arms,' I say. I quickly get up followed by Nash.

We rush up to her room. I try the door handle but it's locked. Nash reaches up and grabs the key from the doorframe. He unlocks the door and we see an unimaginable sight...
