One Hundred Days

Day 11

I woke up curled up to Mikey in my room. I glanced at him. He was frowning in his sleep.  I slid out of bed and padded down to the kitchen to find three boys cooking.

“Morning,” Louis grinned whilst flipping a pancake. Niall was concentrating on the grill Harry was watching Louis. And Liam was putting toast in the toaster.

“Breakfast is about to be served,” Harry sighed winking at me, finally taking his eyes of Louis toned back. Something was going on between them. I sat at the table next to Harry. Zayn walked in.

“Look who’s up,” Niall grinned, “Zayn can you wake up the others?”                                  

“Sure mate,” Zayn sighed picking up a wooden spoon and a baking tray. I heard the clanging of it from down here. Poor boys.

“We did that to him,” Harry said looking at me, “And they’d do it to us too,” He winked when he saw my concern. I nodded

“Why you cooking breakfast,” I asked

“Um well, the doctors said you were under weight and it gave us an excuse to spoil you,” Harry said back just as quietly as I spoke scratching the back of his neck.

“Harry, babe you shouldn’t do that,” Louis scolded him before pecking his cheek. Harry blushed.  I smirked.

“Don’t tell anyone,” Harry said, “We’ll be screwed if it got out,”

“I promise,” I giggled.

“What the actual fuck,” Mikey growled stomping into the kitchen,

“Well we cooked breakfast and we wanted to do it first,” Niall grinned. Mikey cheered up the moment Ni mentioned breakfast.

“The only reason we cooked was because we were hungry,” Louis grinned pulling out plates and dishing some out. He gently placed the plate in front of me, “Eat that all up Chloe,” He winked before giving Harry and Mikey some. Slowly, I ate the food after making sure none were touching. Harry’s dimples were showing as he joked with Mikey about something or other. I smiled to myself when I finished eating. Niall eating next to me and everyone was here, but Ashton. I sighed. Ashton was being an ass right now. Mikey looked over to me as I pushed my chair back.

“I’m gunna,” I mumbled before pointing to the door and leaving. I walked up to my room. My phone was sat on my bed. It was practically useless. I didn’t use it. Not as much as I used my old phone. I didn’t want to go on Facebook. I turned on my laptop. I logged into Tumblr. My ask was full of messages from people who were asking if I were okay. I quickly made a video explaining something stuff not everything.

“Hey guys, um sorry for my face, change of scenery look, anyway I’ve moved in with my brother and I’ll be having scenery changes a lot so I’m really sorry if I forget to post as I’m in a new happier life, if you ever need my you know how to find me,” I spoke into my phone. Quickly, I uploaded it and hopped into the shower after sorting out clothes and getting undressed. I climbed out the shower, dried myself and pulled on the ripped black skinny jeans, you complete me ss tank and a flannel. I brushed and dried my hair before putting it up in a messy bun. I put on some basic make up before going back down with my phone in my hand reassuring people I’m fine and joining in on some Tumblr posts. I looked up when I walked into someone. Ethan.

“Um, I’m sorry,” I mumbled, before walking out the front door picking up my keys before leaving. I still couldn’t get over what happened yesterday. Like he came back. As if from the dead. I got on my scooter and drove to Mia’s.

I ran up to the door after taking off my helmet and turning off the engine. I rang the doorbell. It was like 11:00 I hope I wasn’t waking them up. James opened the door.

“Hi, is Mia here,” I asked him walking in.

“Yeah in the kitchen,” James said walking to the kitchen I followed him.

“Mia, I have news,” I sighed, “Bad news, or good depends how you see it,”

“Yeah sweety,” Mia asked turning around

“I think I’ve found dad,” I murmured. She stopped and froze.

“Where,” she asked

“He owns a café,” I replied

“He always wanted to do that,” she smiled to herself, “Do you want a cupcake, freshly made this morning,” She added forcing a smile. I nodded. She handed me a cupcake that was decorated with a superman logo. I smiled. Pulling off the icing and eating that first. Mia had started to pace across the kitchen. James looked confused. I

“As in he’s here, in this town like he’s been here all this time,” James said. I nodded.

“I think so. I could take you if you wanted,” I chirped. Mia paused.

“I don’t know if I want to see him,” Mia whispered. James rushed over to her. He pulled Mia close and comforted her. The blood has drained from her face.

“The boys know you’re here,” James asked me, helping Mia to a chair.

“No, but I have my phone,” I replied eating more another cake. James raised an eyebrow at me. Before making a cup of tea. I pulled out my phone, “See, they can get hold of me if they want me,” My phone rang just at that moment.

“But will you answer,” He asked. I glanced down at my phone. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up. I put it on the side, “I knew you couldn’t. You’re one of those people,”

“What do you mean,” I asked him. One of those people. What did that mean? What was that supposed to mean? There were so many types of people. And I was one of those people. What people?

“I mean that you don’t do well with staying in one place, you don’t do well with people either,” James elaborated. The thing was. He was right. If I had the choice I wouldn’t be in the same place long. That’s why I love the fact Mikey got me the bike so much I suppose. I looked dead a James. He knew me more than I thought, “I was like that as a kid,” He pulled a small smile, “I grew out of it. More forced out of it, but…” He trailed off as my phone started to ring again, “But you can leave one day,” He pulled another smile. He indicated at my phone. I picked it up. Mikey was ringing, I pressed answer and put it on answer phone.

“Hi,” I whispered.

“Where the fuck are you, I finished breakfast and you were gone,” Mikey growled

“She’s here. She’s safe. She’s with us,” James said, “I’ll make sure she returns safely.”

“Thank you,” Mikey grinned, I could hear it though the phone.

“No problem. She came with some news, that she wanted to tell Mia,” James murmured handing Mia the tea he made her. I looked down at my feet when the line went dead, “Don’t worry about it you can sleep here tonight if you want,” James told me. I shook my head.

“I should get going,” I mumbled before picking up my phone and leaving. I got on my bike again but didn’t go home. I drove around for hours with no reason or destination. Maybe I needed to find myself before I could help myself…

I arrived back home and snuck up to my room. I quickly wrote a note on my mac saying “I’m sorry I need to find myself before I can help myself,” I filled a back pack with clothes and money. I put my phone on my bed. And with that I left. I snuck down stairs and took off. I didn’t know when I would return. I drove along the beaten track. It was obvious not many people came down here. I came across a village. I didn’t pay much attention to the name and I saw a bed and breakfast. I pulled up outside and asked for a room. They said I was lucky they had a room spare. I lead down on the bed after paying for one night. I lead down and glanced ‘round the room. I would love to know what the boys were doing right now. As I was laying down safe, sound and best of all free. I shut my eyes hoping for an early start I wanted to explore not be caught.
