Adopted by One Direction

Chapter 10

Sophie's POV:

"Sophie, what is this?" Harry says and I can hear just how angry he is.

My whole body tense up and I hold my breath, what are they going to do now? Liam, who still holds me in his arms, carefully puts me down and goes to look in the closet. Seconds later I hear him inhale sharply.

"Answer me" Harry says and I can feel his eyes on me.

I don't dare to meet their faces so I look down at the ground and slowly starts to back away. I glance towards the door and before they have time to stop me I make a run for it. I know it's a bad idea but I'm in full panic mode, so I do what I do best – run away from my problems.

"Stop right there Sophie!" I hear Liam yell after me.

At the sound of all the noise Zayn, Niall and Louis appear a few meters in front of me. I stop immediately and scans the space to see if I can take another way.

"What's going on?" Niall asks confused.

"Grab her!" Harry yells.

I look at the three boys in front of me with terrified eyes before I try to run past them. Of course, I have no chance but I had to at least try. Louis catches me and holds my upper arms tightly with my back against his front.

"Why are you running?" Zayn asks as he kneels before me.

"I'll show you" Harry snarls before I can answer.

I close my eyes and tries to calm down my breathing. I can feel my anxiety rising and I'm scared I'm going to have an attack. We all walk back to my room with Louis still holding me in place but not so tightly anymore. They close the door after them and leaves me by the bed. All of them goes to the closet and they all have similar reactions to Harry's and Liam's. Harry, Louis and Niall look at me with angry eyes and Zayn and Liam with sad, disappointment ones.

"Care to explain?" Louis angrily says and points with his finger.

I turn my head and looks towards my closet. I know I shouldn't have but they made me eat more than I could so I pretended to eat more than I did. Instead, I hid it in napkins and brought it here, hiding it in the closet before I could throw it out.

"I'm sorry" I say weakly.

"Sorry is not an explanation" Louis exclaims loudly.

I flinch at his tone and tries to make myself as small as possible on the bed.

"You promised me you would do your best if we helped you!" Harry yells and stomps towards me.

This is it. This is the moment they're becoming what everyone else has been. Monsters. I knew it was too good to be true.

"What were you thinking?!" he continues to yell and now he's right in front of me.

My breaths are getting heavier and heavier and I get the same uncomfortable feeling I get every time before it happens. I'm having an anxiety attack.

"Harry, take it easy," Zayn says and comes up to us, "you're scaring her"

"Baby, are you okay?" Liam asks and looks at me but I can't hear him.

It's hard to explain what it's like to have an anxiety attack but basically, it feels like you're dying. I can barely breathe, I can't sit still and all I can hear is my rapid heartbeat. I can't focus on anything else than the panic and anxiety within me.

Harry's POV:

"Sophie? Sophie!" Liam yells, trying to connect with her.

It looks like she's dying or something. She struggles with her breathing and doesn't react to anything. What have I done? I shouldn't have screamed at her, I shouldn't have become so angry. I couldn't help it though, I just couldn't control myself when I saw that not only was she lying to us but she continued to hurt herself by not eating.
