Ella

I sigh as I walk into the house I go right to a mirror and look at my left cheek that's bright red with a small slash across it I shake my head tears swelling in my eyes "Ella is that you?"I then hear Niall shout,what's he doing here? "Yeah"I choke out the tears then starting to fall down my cheeks he comes down the stairs and I just keep my head down

"Ells what's the matter?"he asks he puts his hand underneath my chin and then raises my head up gasping when he sees the slash "I know it's horrible and you can't tell Jace"I cry he runs his pointer finger over it making me realise how big it actually is "how did you do it?"he asks I sigh and drag him into the living room

-last night-

"Stop whining about Jace and let's have some fun"Ashleigh exclaims pulling me off my seat,Jace is out of town all weekend and he took Jude so being the nice friends they are my band mates took me to a club "but I don't wanna"I sigh I also feel quite uncomfortable Jamie made me put on one of my very old dresses,it's a black dress that hugs my skin and ends half way down my thigh

"Just dance with us will you"Charley exclaims grabbing my hand and twirling me around I shake my head laughing a little,the song ends and Touch by Little Mix comes on I smile instantly thinking of my sister as us four start to sing and dance like the weirdos we are "Just a touch of your love is enough to knock me off of my feet all week"we all sing as I feel a hand on my shoulder

"Hey gorgeous"I hear a man say I turn around and standing there is a lad about our age with brown hair that's quiffed to the side and a little bit of stubble on his face "bye stranger"I exclaim and go to walk away only for him to grab my wrist why? Why does this happen to me? "Come with me and have a little bit of fun"he smiles running his hand along my arm

"Sorry I'm married and a mum"I shrug and before I can even take a step he drags me out of the crowd and to a corner where another lad is sitting with a knife in his hand "leave me alone"I groan as he lets go of my wrist and pins me up to the wall "kiss me or he'll hurt you"he whisper his face not even a inch away from mine

"I wouldn't kiss you if you were the last man on earth"I spit at him I then feel the knife slide across my cheek as quick as possible I scream out in pain and then the guy moves away from me and I run

-back to before-(sorry that was quite bad)

"Fuck"Niall mutters wiping my tears off my face "you just can't tell Jace about this"I warn him he gives me a look like I'm stupid "what happens when he sees this?"he asks running his finger over the slash again "he's not gonna see it thanks to makeup"I smile he shakes his head as I stand up "I don't know though Ella this is pretty bold by itself"he shrugs as he follows me into the kitchen "Jace won't have a clue trust me"I smile Niall rolling his eyes "okay but I think he will"
