Chapter Twenty-Two

Harry

I woke up from movements around me. My eyes flew open and I noticed that the elevator was working again and that Cher was still asleep in my arms. 'Baby, wakey wakey.' I pressed my lips against her head, she woke up pretty fast. 'Let's go home.' She said, standing up and fixing her clothes. I jumped up as well, fixing my curls. I picked up the trays of beer and the elevator made a dinging sound.

The doors opened and we quickly left the building. Everyone at home would be so mad, especially Louis, and Niall probably as well. 'What do we tell them?' I asked her. 'I will do the talking curly.' She flashed me a smile as we entered our flat. I heard soft voices from the kitchen, they were arguing about something.

'WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN CHAR!?' Louis his voice sounded from behind me. 'Don't try to sneak back in!' We turned around and faced Louis. 'We got stuck in an elevator.' Cher- I mean Char laughed and Louis sighed rolling his eyes. 'Harry, you have to take care of her and not get stuck in an elevator you idiot!' Louis was going to smack the back of my head but Char stepped in.

'I had to pee, it was my fault.' She lied and I looked confused, why would she lie to Lou? 'We were worried sick. Liam was going to call the police yanno?!' I sighed. 'I'm sorry, it’s my fault.' She gave Louis a hug to ensure him she was alright. 'Who are fighting in the kitchen?' 'Perrie and Zayn.' Louis quietly responded, Char bite her lip I guessed she wasn't so fond of those two fighting.

I placed down the trays on the salon table, I wasn't going to disturb the fighting couple. 'Lou.. Are they home already?' I heard Niall ask who walked in on us. When he saw Char, his eyes lighted all up. I made a good choice I guessed. 'Baby, I'm okay.' Char spoke up as she walked towards him, hugging him so close as he wrapped his arms around her. 'I always will look out for myself, you silly one.' I heard her say and I smiled.

Cher was a difficult understanding person, Niall didn't even know it. She would do anything to protect herself, any other person who got hurt would be collateral damage. Cher would always look out for herself and for the people she loves the most like her little sister Olly, but I wasn't even sure if Olly was her sister or more her own daughter. I bet she lied about that too, wouldn't be the first time she lied.

Yeah she was always so sweet and seemed so innocent but yet she wasn't at all, she could be really dangerous like on the plane at the first weekend we "met". Also she was dangerous towards herself, she looked so fragile like a porcelain doll, that's why I asked her to promise me not to change cause she was already so fit and perfect. I guess you could describe her as mix between Katherine Pierce and Elena Gilbert, if you knew The Vampire Diaries. I needed to find out the whole truth for my own sake, to protect her when Cher herself couldn't.

Charlotte (Cher)

I was surprised that Niall got so worried about me missing. 'Hey babe, you listening?' I shook my head and looked up at Niall. 'I need to go see my doctor about my knee, you wanna come along?' I shook my head again. 'I do not really like hospitals. Gives me bad thoughts about my past.' I blurted out and he nodded. 'Alright then. Don't try to get stuck again when I'm not there with ya aye?' I chuckled, he gave me a quick peck on the lips and left.

I was just watching some Vampire Diaries reruns on the television, when I decided to give home a call, maybe I could talk to Olivia - my sweet babygirl. Something was eating me inside of me, I wante- needed to know who my birthmother was. I mean it wasn't fair to give me up right? I never did that with Olivia, I cared to much about her cause she was a part of me. I wasn't capable of giving her up cause Olly was a part of me, I couldn't let that go..
