Angel

"Hey guys, this is one of our fans, Rose, I found her out back crying and I told her she could stay back here for the show." He had been holding me up, but then he turned me and pointed around the corner to a bathroom and i limped over there holding my ribs. While I was quietly washing up I could faintly hear the guys talking.
"You know, you're supposed to talk to us before bringing anyone in." I heard Vic saying.
"Yeah, you don't know what she could do." Mike said afterwards.
"You don't even know if she had this all planned, what if she tries to kill us?" Jaime asked, sounding concerned.
"Look, I know she isn't gonna do anything! You saw her walking to the bathroom, hugging her ribs, limping, her nose bleeding or at least was. She isn't gonna do anything." Tony defended me.
"Bro, how'd you find her?" Vic sounded clueless.
"She was coming to our concert with her boyfriend, boyfriend freaked out cause her ex is here as well,boyfriend jumped ex, she broke it up and he beat the shit out of her. That's when i found her by the back door crying!" He sighed then continued, "Guys, she has so many cuts, I couldn't just leave her out there on her own!"
"She cuts? Do you know why?" That was Mike again.
"I didn't ask why, I didn't want to ask much, but I think she needs us..." Tony said trying to convince them i was fine.
"Like we just keep her with us? How old is she?" Vic sounded very displeased.
I was done listening to them talking about me, I walked out and joined them. "You don't have to pretend i can't hear you when i can. I'm 21 and yes, I cut. I only do it because at home i'm abused. I've only had a life of being used and abused. It's not that hard, just tell me you don't want me here and I'll leave." I tried to sound confident even when I wasn't.
The band looked at me then Vic stepped forward towards me, "You don't lea-" I cut him off as I dropped in pain, screaming.
