Nathan's POV
"Mate!" I shouted for Jay.
"Yeah?" Jay looked up from drinking his tea. Ooh I want some! 'Nathan! Focus!'
"When are we going to L.A?" I asked rushed.
"2 days I think?" Jay said unsure, gotta admit that got me more frustrated then I already am.
"Seev when are we going to L.A?" Jay shouted, taking another sip of his tea... Ok he's not helping.
"2 days" Siva shouted back. Jay quickly shouted a 'thanks' and turned back to me with raised eyebrows
"Great. We don't have a gig until then so I'm getting a flight over there to see her" I said quickly pulling out my phone searching for tickets.
"Mate, she probably needs some space! She's not a child, let her be" jay said sipping again on his tea. I rolled my eyes at him.
"You don't understand! She needs me!" I exclaimed pointing at my chest when I said 'me'
"I think it is you that needs her, not the other way around" he chuckled emphasizing 'you' and 'her'. He walked away. That is so not true! Ok fine maybe it is but she still needs me.
Perfect, I found a flight for tonight to L.A!
Hold on I'll be there soon!
Josie's POV
I sat below the tree just looking at pictures on my phone of me and Nathan. I miss him, I wish he could be here to tell me it's going to be ok. I sighed deeply sliding on to the picture. It was a picture of me and Nathan on top of a tree. He held on to my waist for dear life while gripping my phone tightly to take the picture. I holding on to the tree as well as his shoulder. I smiled remembering. I was interrupted from my thoughts when I heard someone let out a cry. It sounded like a little girl. I couldn't understand. Why was there a little girl in the park at 7 pm? Since I was on the 3 highest branch of the massive tree I could clearly tell who was here. I looked around and saw a little girl that looked about 6 years old crying, holding her knees up to her chest, her head buried between them. I furrowed my eyebrows and decided it was time to get down. I slowly made my way down the tree escaping with only a scrape on my thigh since I was wearing a dress. I walked over to the little girl
"Hey sweetie whats wrong?" I asked softly. She slowly lifted her head up. She had blonde hair and beautiful bright blue eyes that were red because of the crying. She had a couple of bruises and cuts on her pretty face.
"It's alright. You can tell me" I smiled using the same soft tone.
"My m-mom. S-she hurt me!" She bursted out crying. I felt blood boiling. How can someone hurt their own daughter? I pulled her into a hug, she didn't resist. She hugged back wrapping her tiny arms around me.
"Shh sweetheart she can't hurt you now! You're with me ok? I won't let her hurt you!" I reassured her. She nodded looking into my eyes.
"I don't want to go back" she whispered, a tear slipping from her eye. I frowned wiping it away quickly.
"You won't. Where is she?" I asked softly knowing she could burst again.
"I don't know. She hates me. Please don't leave me like daddy did!" She pleaded. I was shocked. How can some twat leave such a beautiful little girl alone?
"No I won't! I promise!" She smiled weakly.
"What's your name?" I asked her
"Ellie" she sniffled.
"That's a beautiful name!" I said a bit too loud, her eyes went wide but then giggled. I giggled with her. We stopped.
"What's yours?" She asked sniffling again, wiping her nose at the process.
"Josie" I smiled.
"I like your name" she smiled back. She told me a lot about herself. I learned she likes turtles, her favorite color is pink, she's 5 years old but turning 6 in 2 weeks. She told me she likes to draw and play football (soccer) and she loves singing and dancing.
I told her all about me and why I was in the park in a black dress.
"So..?" She smiled taking my hand in her tiny one. I smiled back
"Will your mom get mad if you're not home?" I asked. She shook her head
"No, one time I ran away for 2 days and she didn't notice neither did she care." She smiled again. She's so sweet considering how hard her life has been at her young age. We walked to the house, I opened the back door.
"Josie where were you!? We were so worried ab- oh hi? Who's this?" Justin asked suspiciously as who was the little girl holding my hand.
"Wait a minute... Did you just have a child and miraculously that child turned 6 years old in hours?!" Justin smirked. Ellie giggled.
"Justin this is Ellie, Ellie this is Justin. Ellie's going to stay with us for a couple of days" I notified Justin before going upstairs with Ellie still holding my hand.
I got to my old room. And pulled out some of my clothes when I was a little girl. Mom never threw away our kid clothes. She said it held memories that can't be replaced.
"Your boyfriend seems nice" Ellie giggled. My eyes widened
"Oh no! You think? Err no! Justin is my brother!" I half shouted. She giggled even more.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" Ellie asked putting on the clothes I gave her. I smiled thinking of Nathan.
"Yeah. I do" my smile growing wider.
"What's his name?" She asked jumping on the bed grabbing my stuffed dog bear, I never let anyone touch him but I made an exception for Ellie.
"Nathan" I grinned. She looked confused
"That's a weird name for a teddy bear" she looked down at Scooby.
"Oh! You meant my dog bear? Oh his name is Scooby. I thought you were talking about my boyfriends name" I blushed embarrassed.
"Oh yeah him too! What's his name? Mason?" She raised her light brown eyebrow. She's so cute.
"Nathan" I corrected her. Just then my phone rang. Ellie jumped slightly and picked it up handing it over to me.
"Hello?" (J)
"Babe!" (N)
"Oh hey Nath" (J)
"Hey guess what?" (N)
"Chicken butt!" (J)
"Haha no! I'm serious!" (N)
"Ok ok sorry" (J)
"Ok go on guess" (N)
"I don't have a clue" (J)
"Ugh you suck" (N)
"Keith" (J)
"WHAT!?" (N)
"Nothing...." (J)
"Did you just say you suck Keith?!" (N)
"No, not at all! Where'd you get this crazy thought from?" (J)
"Ok whatever, anyway what you were suppose to say 'you love me?' But you didn't therefor I don't like you at the moment" (N)
"Fine then. No sexytime for a week" (J)
"And iiiiiiiiiiiiiii will alwayyyys looove youuuuuuu!!" (N)
"Haha ok sloth boy. I'm going to sleep. Night" (J)
"Night babe!" (N)
"Night!!!!!" (Ellie)
I quickly ended the call after Ellie said goodnight to Nathan. I turned to to see Ellie giving me a sweet, innocent smile. I glared at her and attacked her with tickles. She laughed uncontrollably. She pleaded for me to stop, I stopped because I was tired of all the events that happened today.
"Alright Ellie lets sleep" I got under the sheets and pulled Scooby next to me and hugged him tightly and hugged Ellie tightly as well.
"Goodnight Josie" Ellie whispered. I let the dark consume me and take me to dreamland.
Nathan's POV
Who was that?
An I hearing things or was that a little girl talking?
She never told me anything about her having a sister. Did she? No.
Does she have a daughter?! No of course not she's 18!
I decided to ring Maiken.
"Hello?" A groggy Maiken answered
"Oh were you sleeping?" I asked
"No not at all" she said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes knowing she couldn't see me.
"Maiken does Josie have any sisters or... A daughter?" I whispered the daughter part. I shut my eyes tightly hoping the answer is a no.
"Nathan you're really retarded you know that? Josie lost it with you, you idiot. Unless she had ear sex and someway that made her pregnant then no she doesn't have a daughter." Maiken said. I face palmed. Duh!!
"Well does she have a sister?" I asked getting impatient
"NATHAN SYKES LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! I AM SLEEPING! NO SHE DOES NOT HAVE A SISTER! THE TIME ZONES ARE DIFFERENT! I AM IN NORWAY NOT WHEREVER THE FUCK YOU ARE! GOODNIGHT AND GOODBYE" Maiken shouted over the phone and hung up. Ouch... Well that's a nice way of treating your boyfriends best mate! I bet Jay will like hearing of this. Well if she doesn't have a kid and she doesn't have a sister then who was that?
I got off the taxi and got the key to my hotel room where I'll be staying at until the boys come. I took off my trousers and shirt climbing into bed. I quickly let the sleep take me away.
***
After I was done showering I went to Starbucks for a tea and something to eat. I quickly ate and made my way to Josie's house. I knocked the door and a little girl about 6 years old answered the door. She was wearing a pink shirt and white capris with mismatched socks. She had blonde hair with bright blue eyes that reminded me of Jay. If Jay and Maiken had a daughter this is what she would look like.
"Hello?" Her sweet little voice rang through my ears. That voice was the same one from yesterday.
"Erm... Is Josie here?" How can I be this awkward in front of a child?
"Yes. And who may you be?" She asked
"Nathan her boyfriend" I smiled. A huge smile reached her rosy cheeks, she began giggling.
"And who may you be?" I asked getting down to her level.
"Ellie" she said sweetly. I kissed the back of her hand making her blush. I laughed at her adorableness.
"Please come in" Ellie opened the door for me.
"Hey Ellie who's at the door?" Josie shouted coming down the stairs. She was wearing a bright blue shirt that made her eyes stand out, yoga pants and bright blue socks with line green polka dots. I giggled at her outfit. This is so like her, always wearing comfy clothes.
"Nathan?!" Josie yelled confused but then it quickly changed into happiness. I ran to her and hugged her tightly not wanting to let go.
"I missed you so much" she whispered. I kissed her passionately. A little cough came from Ellie who was covering her eyes.
"Sorry Ellie" Josie mumbled looking down blushing. I chuckled looking over to Ellie who was scribbling something on paper.
"Excuse me mr. ?" Ellie asked
"Sykes" she giggled at my last name. I blushed because Josie started laughing hard at it. I playfully hit her
"Well Mr. Sykes you are invited to my tea party" Ellie said in a posh British accent.
"I'd be delighted to attend. Am I allowed to bring a guest?" I asked raising an eyebrow
"Your eyebrows are HUGE! Woops I mean but of course you may" she did a curtsy and left me blushing. Why do people always mess with me and my eyebrows!?
Josie left with Ellie to help her get dressed. I made my way to the kitchen to make the tea. Once it was finished I put the sugar and milk in it. I took it to the living room where a small table was set. I brought some cookies and set them there waiting for the girls to come. Minutes later a posh looking Ellie made her way downstairs. Josie didn't bother changing. Ellie sat down in the small chair putting a stuffed animal next to her on the chair next to her. Me and Josie were too big to fit in those small chairs so we sat on the floor. Josie tried siting on the chair but quickly gave up after.
"Mr. Sykes meet Mr. Doo, Mr. Doo meet Mr. Sykes" Ellie introduced me to the stuffed animal.
"So are you Josie's...?" I asked taking a sip from my tea.
"I'll tell you later" Josie said quickly looking down. Ellie sighed deeply. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion
"It looks like you have a unibrow when you do that" Ellie pointed out. I blushed madly. See what I mean?!
I learned a lot of things from Ellie and that her birthday was coming up, she was turning 6. After cleaning up where we had the tea party, Ellie went to play with Josie's cat.
"So who is she?" I whispered. She sighed before telling me how she found her and that Ellie doesn't want to return to her abusive mother.
"I don't know what to do Nathan!" Josie cried silently, I hugged her
"We have to tell the authorities! In a way this is sorta kidnapping! We have to tell the authorities what her mother does to her" I told Josie. She nodded and said she was going to tell Ellie about it. She stood up to go talk to her. I realized how much I loved Josie. I would kill anyone who would dare hurt her. I'm going to ask her if after this tour she wants to meet my mom and Jess. Or maybe during the holidays. Now that I think about it I've never met her mother or father.
Josie came back carrying a sobbing Ellie.
"Please don't make me go back! She's going to hurt me!" Ellie yelled crying harder. I've only just met this girl but I feel really close to her.
"I won't let her hurt you I promised remember Ellie?" Josie held out her pinky. Ellie weakly held out hers. Ellie wiped her tears
"Can I go change before we go?" Ellie asked politely
"Yes of course" with that Ellie scurried upstairs. I sighed and looked over to Josie.
"So... When do I get to meet the lovely lady?" I asked. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion
"Your mum silly!" Josie's face dropped when I mentioned her mum. Tears threatened to fall.
"I don't know" she whispered. Tears sliding down her cheek. I pulled Josie in to a comforting hug.
The door opened, revealing a glum Justin.
"You told him?" Justin asked looking at Josie then at me. It was my turn to be confused.
"Told me what?" I looked between both of them.
"Justin" Josie growled.
"Tell me what?" I asked getting frustrated.
"Nothing" Josie said quickly glaring at her brother
"I want to know. Tell me now" I demanded. Josie and Justin took in a deep breath before talking....
Oh. My. God.
