When I woke up, I was still in Quinton's arms. I laid in bed and then remembered everything that happened last night. I didn't want to wake up Quinton while I was laying in my bed soI went to my bathroom that was connected to my room to cry. I was sitting on the bathroom door when there was a knock.

"Who is it?" I asked trying to sound as happy as I could. I didn't want whoever it was at the door to know I was crying.

"It's me, Blake," Blake said from the other side of the door.

"What's up?" I asked trying to dry off my face so it wasn't puffy and red anymore.

"It sounded like someone was crying when I walked past the door, Austin are you okay?" Blake questioned from the other side of the door.

"I'm fine Blake," I couldn't hold it in anymore I started sobbing again. I felt so hopeless after last night. I can't believe it almost happened to me again. The last time it happened I was so close to giving up. I started cutting, I know I shouldn't do it again and if the boys found out they'd probably hate me and kick me out.

"Austin please let me in. I'm worried about you." I heard his hand slide down the door like he sat down on the other side of the door. I knew all the boys cared about me but I honestly didn't think they cared enough to sit on the other side of a door just to make sure I was okay. I got up and opened the door so I could see Blake, and I was right he was sitting on the ground waiting for me to come out. Once I got the door all the way open he sat up and looked at me and got up. Blake pulled me into a hug.

"Austin I know you've been through so much, with your parents back at home, Vinnie, Josh, now Bryce and I've been reading some of your Tik Tok comments. Why didn't you tell any of us that you were getting so much hate?" Blake kept me close in this hug almost like if he let go I'd start to fade away. I didn't tell anyone because they all get hate to so what's the point of making a big deal about it. Yeah, it gets to me sometimes, it gets to me when I'm in bed alone at night. But that doesn't happen a lot because of sway anymore so I just pretend it doesn't affect me.

"I didn't say anything about it because you guys all get some hate and I didn't want to make a big deal about it. Yeah, it gets to me sometimes but it's nothing I haven't heard before." I started sobbing into Blakes's chest. I didn't know what to do anymore so I just broke down. I felt broken and helpless.

"Yeah we all get hate but not near as much as you, and they are saying really fucked up things to you. You shouldn't be being told to you kill yourself, or that you aren't good enough, or that you're a whore for living with us and being the only girl. Austin none of that is okay if you're used to it or not doesn't make it right." He said to me I never thought of it that way. I looked up and saw Quinton standing in the doorway.

"Austin you're perfect, I know you've had your troubles in the past and you're still going through some of them. But you are so strong, probably stronger than any of us here. I know I would never have been able to go through half of the things you have let alone every single one of them. I know you don't see it but you're beautiful on the inside and out. Anyone who says differently is out of their mind jealous of you. Please remember we are always here for you, if you ever need to talk, come to one of us. We don't want to lose. We love you too much." Quinton said to me as he hugged me and Blake and he had tears in his eyes as he said this all to me. The three of us just hugged each other for a while, it wasn't an awkward hug it was relaxing and calming.

Quinton's POV
I heard Austin crying in the bathroom so I walked out of her bedroom and saw Blake and her hugging. Blake was talking about how she was getting really bad hate comments on her videos. I can't believe she wouldn't tell any of us what they were saying. I took out my phone and scrolled through the comments on a couple of videos
"You should kill your self"
"What a whore, living with 9 guys by her self"
"Wow Josh really did upgrade"
"When is she going to realize the sways using her?"
There was so many more much worse than that but I couldn't take it anymore I went to see the two of them still in the bathroom and said everything that was on my mind to her
"Austin you're perfect, I know you've had your troubles in the past and you're still going through some of them. But you are so strong, probably stronger than any of us here. I know I would never have been able to go through half of the things you have let alone every single one of them. I know you don't see it but you're beautiful on the inside and out. Anyone who says differently is out of their mind jealous of you. Please remember we are always here for you, if you ever need to talk, come to one of us. We don't want to lose. We love you too much." I hugged her and Blake. I hated seeing her like this, I just wanted her to be happy.
