Bethany's POV
After Jack left my dad started drinking again and my so called stepmother started taking drugs. Jack blames himself for them doing this but it's not his fault. He doesn't make them do it. It's there choice of what to do. Because they are like this they...well...they abuse me. Both of them do. I am covered in bruises and cuts. The cuts are from where I self harmed. If Jack found out he would be so disappointed. No one can ever find out.
---A few years later. At the concert---
Jack, Josh and Zack were on stage performing. I've never ever seen Jack so happy. He's happier now. Without us. Without me. After the concert, the security guard told me that I could go backstage to see Jack. I went backstage and I ran into Jack's arms and hugged him hard. I started crying. Jack said, "don't cry poppet". Poppet is the nickname he gave me when we met because I was so small. I said "I can't help it. You are so happy without us all." "Don't say that. I miss you so much" Jack hugged me more and accidentally pushed down on my bruises. "Ouch". Jack looked concerned, "are you ok Bethany". I have to tell him but I can't because he will find out about me self harming. But I can't keep this a secret any longer. I shook my head. I quietly said "no...". Jack started crying "Are you hurt?" he asked. I nodded. "Can I take a look?" I nodded. I turned around. Jack slowly lifted my hara top up and saw my bruises on my back. Just as Jack lifted my top up and saw them, Josh and Zack walked in and saw. I was embarrassed. I didn't want anyone to know. I didn't even want Jack to know. What do I do now? I thought. I decided to run. I ran off crying and shaking. I sat down on the floor. Why did I show him?
---15 minutes later Zack found me---
"Hey midget" he said. I chuckled. "Yay I made you laugh. I'm sorry. me and Joshua shouldn't have walked in" "it's fine Zack. I didn't want anyone to know. I didn't even want Jack to find out." I said. "Hey it's ok. I understand that." Josh walked in "there you are Bethany. Zack can I talk to Bethany for a second in private." "Sure" Zack replied. Zack left and it was just me and josh sitting there. "Josh I can trust you can't I" I asked. "Of course". "Ok well I got these bruises from my dad and jack's mum" I sobbed. "Please do not tell anyone this but because they abused me I kinda umm..." "It's ok you can tell me anything" he said. "I self harm!" I cried. Josh hugged me and rested his head on mine. "Aww cupcake don't hurt yourself. I hate it when I see people like this. Can you umm show me your scars and cuts" he asked. I took all of my bracelets off and showed him. I cried. Josh hugged me more. "I will give you some space. Come to the dressing room when you are ready. Jack's worried about you." I nodded. Omg. He is so cute and sweet. I've never loved anyone this way before. Do I... love him?
