Ashtons POV
"Hannah, lunch" I call up to hannah's bedroom and the I walk down back to the kitchen and set the table. Hannah walks in wearing a thick sweater, she's sweating. "Hey, we know about your scars now, so you don't have to keep wearing thick sweaters" I say cautiously
She shrugs and says " they are ugly and they'll put you guys off your food"
I shake my head but don't reply. I really want to give her a hug but she will bearly let me near her. I wish we could get her to properly talk to us about what happened to her.
I'm about to push it when Luke, Calum and Michael come bounding through "what's for lunch"a hungry Michael asks
"burgers" I reply staring at Hannah but she keeps a blank expression. We all sit down to eat and I ask Hannah a question " Hannah are you ok with being homeschooled, its just that we will be away a lot and we don't want you to miss a lot" She looks relived.
"Yeah that's fine, I took a lot of online classes at the care home and I am studying for all my GCSES" (A/N sorry don't know what they call it in Australia xx) Hannah says proudly
"ooooooohhhh we picked a wiz kid huh" Michael teases
"Well I always took classes at night as well as day" Hannah says causally
"hey Hannah?" Calum speaks for the first time this meal
"yes cal-pal" Hannah says giggling
"everyone needs sleep, so you must sleep at some point" Calum says
"your right, every Sunday and sometimes Wednesday I would hide in a cupboard and lock it, it was small so I knew nobody else could fit in there with me" she says nonchalantly
Luke's mouth nearly hits the ground and Hannah giggles "Luke, Honey that's why people swallow an average of 8 spiders a year." Luke closes his mouth and we all laugh but I'm not letting the topic pass
"So, you slept in a cupboard for three and a half years" I ask shocked
"yes" she whispers. I don't mention it again because I know it will just upset her, instead I turn my attention to her full plate
"ok Hannah now you must eat" I announce
She takes the meat out of the burger bun and slowly eats the bread and then runs upstairs I'm about to follow her when she comes running back down. She sets a packet of what looks like sweets on the table and takes one out and starts to eat it. I pick up the packet and it says: Orange glucose tablets. I look at Hannah questioningly and she says
"They give you energy but it's like slowly releasing energy, I take them to make sure I keep my body running" I think about it then nod
"ok but your eating more at dinner" I tell her she sighs and thanks us all for lunch and goes back upstairs. I can tell her eating was gonna be an up hill battle.
Hannah's POV
After lunch I go back to my room forgetting to close my door and I grab my guitar I'm about to start playing when Luke walks past and says to me " we have a music room ya' know "
"really can you show me?" I ask, he nods and leads me to a kinda small room with beanbags and guitars and all sorts. I thank Luke and he leaves, I pick up my guitar and start playing the song I wrote:
Sitting on the bathroom floor
Red wrists, locked door
Can you do this anymore
All it takes is a couple of pills
One less person for life to kill
One more slit and then I'll stop
The blade in my hand
The bruises I have
The fear that I feel won't go away
The blood runs down my wrists
One more I cant resist
The pain that I feel
Won't go away
As I finish I hear clapping and all four boys walk in smiling widely
"You wrote that?" Calum asks
"Yup" I say quietly
"Wow" he says sincerely
Luke reply's with"We really did pick a special kid."
