Im Nothing Like my brother!

Chapter 22

"Mummy" I yell running through the lounge room to the dining room where she and a tall scary man sat.

"Abigail sweetie" she said catching me as I jumped into her arms.

"What's wrong baby?" Mum asks as I hid in her shoulder as liam ran into the room after me tapping me on the leg.

"TAG YOUR IT" he tells before running off again, I lift my head from mums shoulder looking at the scary man before jumping off mums lap and running to find liam.

It was him, the tall scary man that was always at my house when I was a kid, he was standing out on the footpath staring straight at me.

I didn't know how to react I was stood in shock liam trying to get a reaction out of me but I didn't move.

The man gave me a dirty smirk before walking back down the road, as soon as he was out of my sight I could only picture his face staring I couldn't see his eyes but I imagine them dark and cold.

My eyes water and my hands shake as I realise he looked so much like Damian, Noah and Nina he was there father.

I sit on my bed with my head in my hands not crying but trying to steady my breath to stop myself from having a panic attack, once I calmed myself I look up to see liam crouched down in front of me.

"You okay?" He asks concerned

"That man, he was the man who was always sat at the dining room table when we were kids" I shake my head feeling around under my pillow for my phone where I left it but I instead felt the corner of an envelope before feeling my phone, I left the envelope and grabbed my phone putting it on charge.

"He was scary when we were kids" liam nodded.

"I better go to bed, it's been a long day" I smile hugging liam before he left, as soon as he closed the door I grabbed the envelope.

I didn't open it but instead put it in my draw I couldn't deal with another unwanted memory, as I put it in the draw I see the old tattered journal laying a marker to where I had read, I pull it out of the draw and read it.

I close the book placing it back into my draw before grabbing a tissue and wiping my teary eyes, I look at the clock beside the bed it reading 1:30am.

I groan as I roll out of bed and waddle over to the door, I sit on the kitchen stool a cup of green tea in front of me, someone walks through the door and I nearly fall off the stool in fright.

It was Perrie and she was wearing one of zayns shirts her hair all messy. I pick up my green tea and go to walk out of the kitchen but not before she stops me.

"Hey I just want to apologise for yesterday, there's just a lot of people who say there someone there really not" she says turning on the tap.

"Hmm I'm sorry to pregnancy hormones are a killer" I chuckle as I walk away back to my room where I let the tears fall.

Why did I get all the shit guys?

I face the ceiling as I hear a door open then shut quite quickly as hushed whispers hurry down the hall.

I sigh before siting up cross legged in bed rubbing my round belly my tight shirt barley covering the bottom, I pull the blue maxi dress from my wardrobe and slide it over my head before picking up my black sandals, I try to put them on but could barley reach.

"LIAM" I yell/laugh I hear quick heavy footsteps coming towards the door before the door flung open.

"Yes?" He puffed.

"I can't put my shoes on" I laugh handing him the shoes liam chuckles but still bends down and puts them on for me.

" so what are we doing today?" I ask as liam sits down next to me.

"Well zayn has already left to go out for the day and well I was going to ask you if you wanted to come to a friends place with me, he a doctor at the local hospital" he smiles over at me.

"Yeah sure I'll come I don't really have anything better to do" I smile back

"Sweet now I've just got to go change and then we can go out for breakfast first then to kole's place" he laughs getting off the bed but stopped at the door turning back he said.

"He said to me, even thought you're pregnant you are still beautiful" liam smirked leaving me mouth wide open in shock.
