Chapter 18

We all sat around and played games with Rose until about 7 then I took her back to the guys room. I went Alone.

"Bye Beth!" Rose said hugging my legs again. I picked her up and kissed her forehead.

"Bye Rose! Maybe tomorrow you could come perform Classic with us? For the VidCon event?" I asked. Her eyes lit up instantly and Matthew gave me a look.

"Really?!!"

"Rose would I lie to you?" I ask giggling.

"Rose, go inside the guys are waiting. I just need to talk to Bethany for a second." Matthew said. Rose nodded and went back inside. Matthew came out of room into the hallway and closed the door. I started backing up.

"Relax, just talking. I won't lay a finger on you." I sigh a little but don't move any closer. He tries to move closer but I still back away. Soon he gives up.

"Why are you doing this to Rose?" He asks.

"Doing what?"

"Being so nice. Letting her meet her fave youtubers, giving her your FaceTime?"

"I do it for everyone Matthew. I did to Hayes to remember?"

"But why? After what we have done to you." I see his eyes trail down to my wrists and I quickly hide them behind my back. He steps closer and tries to grab my wrist but I go back and don't let him see.

"Beth..."

"No Matthew please stop don't hurt me anymore!"

"I won't please just let me see." He tried to grab my wrist again but this time I just bolted back to the hotel room. I ran in crying and bolted to the bathroom. I locked the door and slid all the way down until I was on sitting on the floor. I cried for a little while and then started to look around for a blade of any type. I found a razor. I hesitated but I picked it up. And I slid it across my wrist. Not deep, but deep enough for me to feel a little pain.

"One for Matthew." I whispered.

"One for being Ugly."

"One for being Fat."

"One for the rest of my bullies"

"One for getting what someone else deserves"

I clean up the blood. I got up ignoring all the screaming and pounding at the doors. All the banging and crying. I took a smoke out of my pocket and lit it with a lighter. I took a long draw in and slowly released the smoke.

"BETHANY! ITS TYLER PLEASE EVERYONE ELSE IS GONE BETH OPEN THIS DOOR!"

"PROMISE?"

"PROMISE!"

I open the door and there stood a worried Tyler. I pulled him in and locked the door.

"I did it Tyler. I did it." I stay breathing heavy realising what I just did. Tyler handed me a asthma pump and I steadied my breaths.

"Why Beth?"

"I can't take it Tyler! There everywhere I go. I come to the other side of the country there still here Tyler. I'll never be free ever."

"You will Bethers." He said pulling me into a hug.

I silently cried into his shoulder and then I pulled away and finished my cigarette.

"That's a filthy habit girl."

"I know Tyler now shut up. It helps me. Now let's go. But first can you bring me a sweatshirt?"

"Yeah sure." He left then came back with one of his sweatshirts. I put it on top of my clothes and walked out, everyone was watching a movie. Thank god. I don't want there pity and sympathy. I went and sat on dads lap.
