An Innocent Warrior (Completed)

Chapter 8.

*One week later*

Jenna's POV 

Knowing what the guys wanted to talk to me about , made me avoid them. It isn't even intentional, I just don't wanna face them because I know that they have good points. 

I needed a break from them, so I went to asks one of the staff members if I could go and see Em. 

They let me go to the other part of the house where the little kids were and I saw that they where all actually playing and having fun. I looked around and saw a little girl in the corner. 

It was Emily. 

I went over to her and before I could hug her and surprise her, she saw me and stood up and came running towards me. 

"Jen!" She yelled but no one cared to notice since they where all having fun and listening to music. 

"Em!" I yelled back and opened my arms, as she came to me. 

"I've missed you so much!" She said as she hugged me, her head was the height of my belly, so it felt so nice to have her on my arms again. 

"It hasn't been that long Em." 

"I know, I just missed you." 

"Why aren't you with the rest of the kids having fun?" 

"I don't know, it hasn't been easy for me to make friends..." She said as she looked down. I took her hand and we went outside to their yard, which was very different from ours. 

It had a playground and everything. 

"Why though? It was easy for you to talk to Harry back in the train." 

"Yeah but it's different because he's older and doesn't think like a little kid." 

That made me realize that she has always been with older people, which kind of makes sense why it has been so difficult for her to make friends. 

"Well, I hope that after talking to me today, you'll be able to make friends, okay? I don't want you to be alone." 

She nodded as she took my hand again, "Can we go play?" I nodded and we went to play on the playground. Most of the kids where inside so I didn't mind playing with her for a little while until I had to get back. 

Louis' POV 

"She has been avoiding us." I said to Harry as we did our chores. We had to clean the kitchen and other stuff around the house. 

"I know, I have no idea how to make her talk to us." 

"We can't make her though, we have to think of something else." 

"Maybe she knows what we want to talk to her about and that's why she's avoiding us." 

"Yeah, probably." I agreed as we kept cleaning. "Niall noticed something was going on but I couldn't bring myself to tell him. He feels so lost and left out. I feel bad but I know it isn't my place." 

"We cannot tell him. If we do, surely Jenna will like us less than she already does." 

We stayed in silence as we kept and kept cleaning. 

But after a while, an idea came to my head. 

"What if we sing her a song?" I asks. 

Harry looked at me confused. "Huh?" 

"Yeah, to let her know that we are here for her, even if she doesn't know it." 

"Do you think it could work?" 

"I mean, maybe, we could try." 

"But how are we going to sing to her without her going away?" 

"How about tonight?" I suggested, "We could go to sleep or pretend to go to sleep before her so she should go to her bed thinking that we are all asleep, and then we begin to sing. That way she won't be able to leave." 

"Can we asks Niall if he wants to help us by standing against the door when we begin singing? So she doesn't run away?" 

"Yes, perfect. But we have to give him a good explanation for that because he wants to know what's going on." 

"I'll tell him the truth but not exactly what happened, just that we can't tell him because it's Jenna's place to do so." I said and Harry agreed. 

"Perfect." He said and we kept doing our chores. 

*A while later* 

"I'm gonna look for Niall and tell him the idea." Harry nodded and he stayed doing the other chores as I went to look for Niall. I

I think he is at the library so I made my way towards it and saw him through the window. We are on break so it won't be difficult to talk to him right now. 

"Niall!" I said as I waved at him when I opened the door. 

He saw me and came towards me, he closed the door behind him and he actually looks tired. 

"Hey, how are you and Harry doing?" 

"Good actually, we are almost done, how about you?" 

"The library is actually more difficult to clean than what I thought." He admitted as he rubbed his face since he was tired. 

"I'm sorry bud." I said as I patted his back and he nodded. 

"So, what's up?" 

"You know how things have been weird lately between Jenna and us, right?" 

"Yeah, I've been asking you and Harry what's up with that but neither of you have told me anything." 

"I know and I'm sorry, but we can't tell you, it isn't our story to tell but Jenna's." 

"Well I've tried asking her too but she has been avoiding me as well as if I've done something wrong but I haven't even been able to talk to her properly." 

"I'm sorry, I'm really really sorry." I said again. "But actually Harry and I came up with a plan and we need your help. Maybe that way you'll know what's going on since we will be able to talk to Jenna." 

"Okay, okay fine, I'll help." He said as he sighs knowing that he indeed wanted to know what was happening. 

"Great, I'll tell you the plan." I said and began to tell him what Harry and I have prepared for Jenna. 

I can't wait for her to hear Harry and I singing. 

Actually I feel like we sound very good together which is weird because I haven't sang in forever, but this situation is different and I know Niall will be surprised. I feel like he thinks Harry is the one that's going to sing. 

But when he'll notice that it's the both of us, I'm not sure how he'll react. 

If everything goes as planned, he won't get that mad at me for doing this. 

I'm actually nervous, I hope my mom will be looking down at me while I sing to the most beautiful girl I know. 

Wait... I never said that. Never mind.
