Chapter sixty-nine of 'The Boy In The Basement':

Alice

        After a few check-ups, the doctor let me leave. All the guys helped me out. I changed out of my bloody cloths into loose grey sweats with 1989 written in white lettering on the side. I also wore a baggy hoodie. I had small bandages on my face due to the cuts makring my face. It made me drop my shoulders when I remebered that they will turn into scars forever on my face.

        Niall told me that Zayn called my Dad and that he flipped out but he isn't mad at any of us. I breathed deeply when he told me this. Normally, he'd be pissed, but thankfully he isn't. Also, Niall told me that Kathy and Dad have a court meeting and I may or may not be needed there. Court is just as bad as hospitals.

        Liam asked if they needed him here. The guys told him everything was fine here and they are happy for what he had done for me. But I needed to personally thank him. And I did, right before he left. He smiled at me, and this smile actually reached his eyes. It was a beautiful thing.

"It was my pleassure. You are a good person and deserve good people in your life." That's when he hugged me and left. The guys were impressed with me.

        Apparently I was in the hospital for two days. The first day I was jus sleeping the whole time and the second day I woke up. We stopped at the McDonald's drive thru to get some food. I refused to eat the hospital and I was starving. I ended up getting a chicken and ranch McWrap and and a large fry with a chocolate shake. At that point, I didn't care if it made me fat.

        Then we got home. And I ate everything but was still finishing my shake. Harry stopped the truck and he and Zayn got out. Louis brought his car so him and Niall rode in that since there wasn't enough room for them in the truck.

        Zayn grabbed my stuff and Harry came around and offered me his hand. I took it and hopped out of the truck, loosing my balance. He steadied me, using his other hand to put it on the small of my back. I looked at him and smiled.

"Your dad is at work, Alice." Louis informed me when Niall and himself walked up behind us. I nodded. I knew he was cause his car wasn't in the drive way. I don't know if he knew I was coming home today or not, but I'll see him later.

        The sky was clouded with grayish clouds. The wind ran through all of our hair and the leaves flew all around the ground, some still even falling off from the tress surrounding us. I inhaled deeply. I smelled a light pumpkin spice aroma. Loved that smell.

"We should watch a movie when we get inside." Niall chirped. I agreed. Watching a movie to get my mind off from things would be great.

        The wind began to pick up even more so we made out way inside. The house remained the same exact way since the last time I saw it -- three days ago. Zayn set my stuff down by the couch in the living room while I took off my shoes as did the other gentlemen surrounding me.

        I let out a yawn. I was exahusted. Too many events have made their way into my life, I just felt like sleeping forever. And, I started school in two days which doesn't help because everyone will see how weak I am. Speaking of which, did Niall and I even get our schedules?

"Hey, Niall?" I asked as Harry helped me to the couch. I plopped down and sunk into the softness of the cushions. Harry took the seat next to me. Louis had the remote on the other couch which Zayn situated himself next to him.

"Yeah?" Niall was on the recliner near the window with the curtains drawn. They were a tan, see-through and with the sun not even out, it still lite them up making the room lighter also.
