Wow! 18 reviews already! Thanks to GothicGirl96, LigerPancake, KlaineForeverLover07, LoveShipper, SarahBearlovesR5, Keely, Ally17, ItsYaGirlTerTer and Kaylee Gates for reviewing! I own nothing and I don't own Joel Faviere If You Knew. Italics is the diary Austin keeps BTW.
Austin's P.O.V
I told her everything. Well, everything I could.
''How long has he been doing this?'' Andrea asked.
''Since mum died. I'm used to it now.'' I replied, holding back tears. ''My head and ribs hurt.'' I moaned.
''I don't think you're concussed, but I think you've broken a rib.'' She lifted up my top without warning, revealing my bruised body. ''Did he do this?'' she gasped. I nodded, a tear rolling down my cheek. She wrapped me into her arms as she always does when I'm upset.
''I don't want to take you to the emergency room. They're gonna ask questions which we can't answer. I'll get you some more ice.''
My ribs are broken, but I can't go to have them checked out. Luckily Andrea was a nurse. She quit when mum died so I'd have somebody like a mother around me. She knows how to treat injuries. She doesn't know that I cut myself. That's good as she would have stopped me and I'd have nothing to numb the pain.
''Here.'' She put the ice on my ribs.
''I want to see Ally.'' I said.
''Go tomorrow, you need a good night's sleep.'' She tucked me into bed and left.
I wanted to see Ally because I really wanted to tell her everything. But, I can't pipe up the courage to do so. I've written a song to describe my situation. I'm just going to sing it to her. Problem is, I don't know how I'm gonna sing it to her. Well, here it is.
They think your crazy
They think your mad
They call you stupid, worthless,
Tell you your not worth it
Now your walking back
To a place you call home
But you feel so alone
The same hurtful hits
It's your darker place
In your virgin ears,
The remarks they made
And if they, if they really knew,
All those things
That you do in your room to hide the pain
I bet their minds would change
Yeah,
I'll bet their minds would change
They'd change if they knew the pain
Cause I believe in these scars
I believe
In the song, 'their' is my so-called dad and 'your' is me.
The next day (Austin's P.O.V)
I walked, well limped lightly into Sonic Boom, clutching my side.
''Hey Austin, are you ok?'' asked Ally. ''You're limping a bit.''
''Yeah, I hurt myself when I was dancing.'' I lied straight to her face, I hated doing this. ''I've written a song. Can I sing it to you? Now.'' I asked.
''Yes. Let me tell dad to watch the store.'' She shouted to her dad and then helped me up the stairs and into the practice room. I sat down, grabbed my guitar (I kept one in the practice room as I kept forgetting to bring it.) I started to sing. It hurt my rib, but I had to.

I believe" I ended the song in tears, and Ally looked as if she was going to cry.
''Ally. I have to tell you something.'' I fiddled with my hands as she sat down next to me.
''What is it?''
''In the song, when I'm singing about them, it's my d...dad. And when I sing about you, it's me.'' I said to her, then I broke down into tears. She held me in her arms. Then, she led me to her room. I sat up in the bed. She took my top off. I winced in pain. Then she saw them. All the things that he did to me.
''Ally, I wanted to tell you...'' I started, but Ally cut me off.
''Just come here.'' She practically had me in her lap as I cried loudly into her chest. She calmed me down by telling me that it wasn't my fault. But she didn't know it all. Nobody did. And if they did, they would tell me that it was my entire fault...
A bit of music in this chapter. It did seem as if Austin's condition improved, but it is going to get A LOT WORSE from here onwards. What will Austin do now his girlfriend and sister know his secrets? Please review!
