After the whole band crept in, and quietly shut the door behind themselves, they turned to Dani.
" We know you missed out concert the other night because of what happened." Louis started.
" So we decided to bring the concert to you!" Niall finished brightly.
Dani did not know what to say; she just blushed and mumbled thanks.
The boys winked at each other, and began to sing and play their songs.
They played, Story Of My Life, You & I, One Thing, Drag Me Down, Best Song Ever, Little Things, and Live While We're Young.
Dani clapped and whistled when they had finished, and they all bowed to her, grinning broadly.
" It was Harry's idea." Liam stated cheerfully, causing the other boy to blush a bit. " He figured it would cheer you up."
" It sure did alright!" Dani enthused, watch Harry closely.
He looked relived and happy now that she was happier now.
" So, how are you feeling? You were out for three days!" Niall asked her.
" Rather crappy till now." She said. " Three days! That's a long time to be sleeping. Guess I made up for some of my sleepless nights." She said, trying to joke a bit, but was met by suddenly serious faces.
" We were wanting to ask you," Louis began, and glanced over at Harry, who finished the thought.
" Why those boys were assaulting you." Harry finished, watching her closely now.
Dani hesitated.
Could she really trust these four band boys with the painful truth?
She really wanted to tell them, she really had wanted to tell someone in all her 17 years about her abusive life, but never dared form fear of repercussions form her parents.
Suddenly, the door opened again and her parents themselves swept into the room.
They took one look at the boys and sternly told them to get out, now.
All four silently filed out, but the look Niall threw her over his shoulder told her they would be back.
And soon.
As soon as the door shut, her dad shoved a file cabinet in front of it as her mom approached her bed with a sick smile n her face.
" Soooo," she drawled slowly, digging her long nails slowly into the tender flesh under Dani's jaw line. " What were you going to tell those boys who asked you that foolish question?"
" N-nothing, Mom." Dani squeaked as her dad pulled off the blankets and glared down at her.
She tensed as he leaned over her.
" Yes, you were going to say something." He mom hissed, as she reached her finger down Dani's throat as if she was going to rip her vocal cords.
Dani felt her dad's rough hands running up her legs, and she choked as her mom's finger sealed off her breathing.
As her dad reached his fingers in her and began to play with her, her mom racked the inside of the throat with her sharp nails.
Dani couldn't scream, with her mom choking her like she was.
Her dad further intruded when he stuck his other fingers up her butt.
Then her mom pinched her nipples, hard.
Dani bit down on her mom's fingers, and all she felt after that was a hard blow to her stomach, chest, and head, before everything went black again.
