Aria: Can you send Liam to come get me? I don’t wanna stay here.
Niall: Yup, he’ll be there in five.
Aria: Ok, get everyone together; I need to tell you something.
Niall: Should I get chocolate?
Aria: You already know me too well. ;)

As Liam pulled into their driveway, I took a deep breath. “Ok, let’s do this.” Niall grabbed me as soon as I walked in the door. I tried my hardest not to wince as he crushed the bruise Taylor had just given me. “Ok, everyone, sit.” I ordered and almost laughed as the five boys dropped and sat criss-cross applesauce on the floor. I plopped myself down in the centre and started. “Ok, this is harder than I thought.” I buried my face in my hands. “You don’t have to tell us if you’re not ready.” Louis pulled me in for a hug. “No, I can do this. Someone has to know.” I sat myself back up, “ After we left Doncaster, my dad started…. Um…” I trailed off, crying. Niall held my hand, “He started, abusing me. Not even my mum knows about this. After that started happening, I hated myself and I did some other stupid things.” I paused to wipe my eyes and they all noticed the bruises and scars, then Liam grabbed my other hand. “When Taylor found out, he started hurting me too, but I couldn’t leave him because he threated to tell everyone about my dad, and I could never do that to my mom.” They all pulled me into a warm, group hug. Right then I knew I had found a new family.

Notes

Ugh, ok... this is a very sad, dark like chapter... but don't worry, it'll have more ups, downs and maybe even more confessions.
