Chapter 10

My New Best Friends

Darci's POV

It's been about a week since Kym left and everything's back to normal. Well. Almost everything. The boys called a 'meeting' where they wanted me to tell them more about myself. Like. Personal stuff.

"C'mon Darci! You're gonna be late!" Louis joked. I rolled off my bed and put my phone in my back pocket.

"Okay! I officially call this meeting to order! After I explain the rules!" Liam said. I looked down the table. "Rules?" I laughed. "Well, the boys can say some. Words that aren't appro-" "Liam. Really? I've lived with Kym my whole life... I think I've heard and said just about everyword." I said. He thought about it for a moment and let out a sigh. "Fine, no rules." He said. The boys cheered and high -fived each other which I thought was a little much. But hey. It's alright.

"Okay so... State your name, date of birth, age and best friend." Liam said really quickly. I thought about the best friend part. I don't exactly have one. And some of the boys already knew this stuff. "Okay so um my full name is Darci Anne Davis, I was born February 1, 1998, I'm 15, and I don't have a best friend..." I trailed off. "Why no friend?" Lou asked earning a slap on the head from both Niall and Harry. "Um it's more of my fault really. I don't like any of the people from my school. They're either popular bitches, assholes or like gothic and.... Strange? Nobody at my school is my type of person and trust me. I've tried to be friends with all of them but it didn't go down so well." I explained. They just nodded they're heads and continued to ask me questions. "Do you have any health issues?" Zayn asked. "Does depression count?" I muttered to myself, hoping no one heard. I was wrong as usual though. "You have depression?" One of them asked. I shrugged. "It's gotten a lot better since I've been with y'all. I guess it was mainly stress and the hate I got from my mom and sister and the fact my dad left us." I said. They just nodded again. "Well I think that's about it Darce. We'll see you in the morning yeah?" Zayn asked. I nodded and looked at the time. 11:37 pm. I nodded and walked upstairs. I decided on taking my shower in the morning so I threw my hair up in a messy bun. I was about to take my contacts out until I heard a knock on my door. "Hold up." I said before walking the door. I opened it to find harry with a pillow and a blanket. "Um?" I asked pointing to everything. He then pointed to the window. It was storming pretty bad. I was surprised I hadn't noticed. But I loved the rain and storms. I don't know why but I just did.

"Oh Harold." I laughed. He didn't say anything but he ran and jumped on my bed. I shook my head and walked back into the bathroom.

"Whatcha doing?" Harry asked from behind causing me to jump and literally poke my eye. "Ow! Harry! Don't do that again!" I whined. "Oops. Sorry." He apologized. After I was done grabbed my glasses and walked over to my bed. I sat down on it and Harry sat about two inches away from me. "I wanted to talk more." He said. "I want to know things that other people don't know about you. Please tell me the truth when I ask you these questions." He said. I made no eye contact with him but I nodded.

"Have you ever cut?" I nodded and showed him the cuts on my wrists and stomach. He traces the ones on my wrist and kissed everyone of them. "Have- have you ever tried to um. Kill-" before he even finished I nodded.

"A few months ago, a few minutes before Little Things was going to be aired on the radio for the first time in the U.S. I had everything planned out in my head. I was simply going to stab myself a few times. I know. It sounds horrible but the hate and bullying had reached its peak. Anyway. I had the radio blaring so no one would hear or anything. And just as I was about to do it. Little Things came on. I listened to it and broke down. That was the first time I had heard it. Every thing about that song described me.. You guys literally saved my life." I cried remembering the shit some of the people at school put me through.

Harry pulled me into a hug and held me tight for a good 3 minutes. "Always remember that I love you and that of you ever need anything I will be here for you. Please don't to this to yourself Darci. I love you," he said. He was crying himself. We fell asleep like that. But right before he closed his eyes he whispered something I won't forget for a very long time.

"You don't need the people school, or Kym, or your mom. You have us. You have five best friends instead of one."
