••Sophie's p.o.v.••
" I got her to trust me, to trust you guys and then you come in and make me turn into a monster ! It's all your guys' fault !" I head dad - I mean Zayn - yell. I looked around me and noticed I was still in the corner, but someone's arms were around me. I looked at who it was and sighed.
Just mum.. Wait, how did she get in here ?! I locked the door !
" hey princess, you okay ?" Mum asked, sitting up. I shake my head and she sighs and holds me.
"Mummy, he's gonna hurt me. Zayns gonna hurt me, just like Dave did." I said, I few tears falling.
" baby, daddy's not gonna hurt you. He just couldn't believe Dave hurt you like that." She says, running her fingers through my hair.
" it wasn't my fault Zayn ! You didn't have to throw that lamp. Plus ! You are the one that asked !" Uncle Louis yelled.
" make it stop mummy. " I said, holding onto her. She nodded an stood up. She laid me on my bed and kissed my head. She walked to my door and out to them.
" guys. Stop ! It wasn't anyone's fault ! She's crying in there and she made me come stop your fighting ! Now, I suggest you three go take a walk and come back when you learned from your mistakes." Mum told them.
" but -"
" no. Out. " she says and I heard sighs and the door close. Mum comes back in and lays down next to me. " how about we go to bed and then watch a movie when we wake up. " I nod and we get under the covers. She holds me tightly and sings in my ear until I fall asleep.
••four months later••
" uncle Louis.. Why are you so skinny ?" I asked, looking at him. He just shrugged and sat on the couch. I looked at uncle Harry and it looked like he had been crying before. I go over and hug him. He hugs me back and I let go. I run over to uncle Louis and sit on his lap.
" are you okay ?" I asked, looking in his eyes.
He nods, but his face says no. His eyes scream pain, but his voice says he's fine. I don't believe him one bit.
" no your not. What happened ?" I asked, kind of looking between him and uncle Harry- hoping nothing happened between the two of them.
Without saying anything, he just breaks down. My heart felt heavy and I didn't know what to do. " please don't cry. Don't. " I say and wipe the tears off his cheeks like him and everyone used to do to me.
" I'm- I'm sorry Sophie. " he says and I hug him tightly. He hugged me and We just stayed there, hugging each other.
" hey guys !" Uncle Niall said, walking into the room, but stopped an slowly backed out, after seeing us.
" uncle Louis. Please. Please eat. " I say and he just looks at me. " tell me what they said. Tell me."
" they- they told me I was fat and that I don't deserve to be in the band. That I don't deserve to be even friends with Harry. They said my voice sounded like a dying walrus. They said the reason I'm on the football team is because I'm in One Direction and that I can't even play football. " he says and looks down.
" uncle Louis. None of that is true ! Why are you listening to them ? They just make up random things to get you down. Tell me what you hate about yourself." I say and look at him.
" everything. I mean, absolutely everything. If they hate everything about me, then I do. That's about thousands of people who hate me too, how can I not ?" He Said and I nodded.
" now, go ask uncle Harry what he loves about you. " I said and he looked at me weirdly, but did as I said.
He got up and went to the kitchen, were uncle Harry had went to. I followed just to listen.
" Harry. Uh- what do you love about me ?" Uncle Louis asked my curly headed uncle and he looked at him.
" everything. Words can't explain what I love about you. So pretty much everything. Why Lou ?" Uncle Harry told uncle Louis. I smiled and retreated to my seat.
Uncle Louis came back in and sat down next to me. " what did he say ?" I asked, smiling.
" he said everything." Uncle Louis answered and my smile grew.
" see. Just because you HATE everything about you, doesn't mean someone can't LOVE everything about you. Now, let's go have uncle Harry make us food." I say and he chuckles at me.
" alright let's go." He says and picks me up. We go to the kitchen and he sets me on the counter.
" uncle Harry. Make us some food." I say and mum looks at me.
" soph ! You can't just demand someone to make you food." She says, laughing though. I shrug and uncle Louis and uncle Harry laugh.
" sure, what do ya guys want ?" Uncle Harry asked and opened the fridge.
" anything. What about you soph ?" Uncle Louis said and I thought for a minute.
" anything. Just not something disgusting or your making me something else." I say and he chuckles and nods his head.
" you better eat this or I wont eat mine. " I whisper in uncle Louis' ear. His eyes widen and he looks at me. I just stare at him, my face full of seriousness. He gulps and nods. I smile at him and he weakly smiles back.
Why would anyone hate on him ? Do they not see that he's perfect the way he is ? He's human too. If someone were to say that to them, they would be doing the same thing. I mean, treat someone the way you would want to be treated. The way they treated uncle Louis was poo. So now they wanna be treated like poo? Well they are stupid then. What makes it okay for someone to do that ? Nothing. People are so confusing. That's why I don't listen to them.
" here ya go guys. Eat up." Harry says, pulling me from my thoughts and handing me my plate. I looked at it and smiled. It was a sandwich and strawberries. I looked at uncle Louis and he was starring at his food. I nudged him and he looked at me.
" eat it. " I mouth and he nods. He picks his sandwich up and takes a bite. I smile and start eating mine. After my sandwich I look over at uncle Louis and see that he ate everything already. I giggled and ate my strawberries.
" that was good. Thank you Harry." Uncle Louis says to a wide smiling fellow. I smiled even more, if that's even possible and finished my food. Uncle Louis took me and his plates and threw them away. After he did, I ran over to him and hugged him.
" thank you uncle Louis. " I say, shoving my have in his stomach. It was so skinny, it was horrible.
" your welcome Sophie. And thank you for making me eat. Harry couldn't even get me to eat at home." He says and my heart started to hurt at the hearing of that.
" your welcome uncle Louis. Now, you have to eat every meal, everyday." I say, smiling up at him. He looks down at me and nods. I let go and we all go into the lounge.
" Sophie, auntie Eleanor is on Skype and is asking for you." Mum says before I sit down. I nod and then look at her confused. " it's in your room." She says, laughing. I nod and run to my room. I plop on my bed and pull my lap top closer to me so she can see me.
" hi auntie Eleanor ! I miss you !" I say when i get settled. I haven't seen her in a while and I mean, she's my aunt and I used to see her like every day !
" hi Sophie ! I missed you too ! I wanted to talk to you.." She says and my stomach drops. She will want to know about uncle Louis. I just know it. I mean, how can she not want to know. Everyone knows he's lost so much weight.
" okay. What is it ?" I asked, trying to make it seem like I have no idea what she is gonna say. She looks down and pulls out her phone. She shows me a picture and I felt like crying. It was uncle Louis. She had tears in her eyes and so did I.
" what- what's wrong ? What happened ?" She asked, trying not to break down. I would be too. I mean, seeing how your old boyfriend has lost so much weight is pretty hard.
" uh.. People- uh. They kept saying bad things to him and he wouldn't eat." I paused and looked down. " uncle Harry couldn't even get him to eat. This morning when they all came over, he started crying- a lot. I made him tell me what was wrong and I made him eat. He actually ate everything. You should have seen uncle Harry's face when uncle Lou finished everything. It made me feel warm inside. " I explained and she had a smile on her face.
" you- you got him to eat ? Soph. Did anyone tell you that you are saving this band, this family ? " she asked and I shook my head no. " well you should be told that. " I smile at her.
I wish she was here so I could hug her tightly. " can you come over ? I miss you." I say and look at the screen again. She looks down but then up at me again.
" sure baby girl. I'll come. " she says and smiles. My smile grows bigger and then hers does. " I'll be over in a few minutes. I love you Sophie."
" I love you too auntie Eleanor. See you in a few minutes." I say and we both hang up. I close my laptop and run out of the room.
" AUNTIE ELEANOR IS COMING OVER !" I yell, prancing around the downstairs. I went skipping around everywhere when I ran into a wall and fell to the floor. I just laid there. " who put that wall there ?!" I yelled as everyone bursted out laughing.
Oh, thanks for the help guys.
