Journey of A Lifetime

*Dia's p.o.v*

The scars you can't see are the hardest to heal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sitting on the living room couch, scrolling through my messages when I stopped at the messages from Cole, he texted me this morning and the text wasn't really nice..

Cole: I CANT BELIEVE, YOU OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE AT THE HOUSE WE LIVE TOGETHER IN BELIEVES THAT I WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, I WOULD NOT TAKE NIA AND KIDNAP HER LIKE THAT, I WOULD NOT HIDE HER FOR WEEKS AND THEN PRETEND THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE SHE WAS, I WOULD NOT DO THAT SHE IS MY FRIEND I LOVE HER, I WOULD DO NOTHING TO HURT HER ..... I'm sorry... I just can't believe you guys would betray me like this..

I stared at the message not knowing what to do, Nia said it was Cole and he did it but why is Cole so fixed on saying that he didn't do it, and I didn't want to doubt my friend but they're both my friends and I don't know who to believe.

I got up from the couch and went into the kitchen to grab myself a snack and then ran upstairs to talk to Nia. She was in her room with Niall of course and they were just sitting on the floor talking.

"Hey Nia can I talk to you.. Alone please" I said glancing at Niall apologetically
"Yeah sure" Nia said

I walked in as Niall got up and walked out the door closing it behind him.

"I know you just got back and this is a sensitive topic but how did it feel when you where locked up" I asked Nia, she was quiet for awhile before replying

".... It was horrible, I was in like a rickety old barn or something like that and the wood was old and splintery and I got a whole bunch of splinters, there was a window in the room but it was boarded up and I could only see the sky and the rest of the woods through a small hole. There was also a hole in the door but I didn't look through it a lot because I was afraid Cole would open the door wildly like he does and.. and hurt me. Cole did take me out of the room once but he had my hands tied up together to the point where it hurt. Then he threw me in the room on the floor a couple of times and I..... I was just so scared... I thought I'd never see you again" Nia said tearing up

I hugged her, very tightly as if it would be my last time hugging her " But your'e here now and safe, and I won't let this happen to you again"

....and Man was I wrong.
