fighting for what you love (a one direction fan fiction)

*Liz's POV*

I woke up by falling face first onto the bus floor. I moaned and sat up, brushing my hair out of my face. I looked to my left to see an unconscious and snoring Niall. I smiled to myself thinking how cute he was when I got interrupted by Harry throwing his arm over my shoulder from the couch across from the one Niall was on. I was pulled back and practically pinned down to the side of the couch and I kept struggling but I couldn't get out of his grasp.

eventually I got up and could breathe again. I went to the back where there was a small bathroom and a mirror.

I jumped back at mg reflection. my eyes were red and puffy. my nose was red. and don't even get me started on my hair! it looked like a rat's nest!

I ventured back to the snoring boys to grab my hair brush from my bag. I was wondering where Louis Liam and zayn were when I screamed because a hand flew out from a curtain and I pulled it back scared to see what was there. Liam was passed out on a bottoms bunk of the small built in bunk bed and I look on the other wall and Louis was on the top and Zayn was on the bottom one. catching my breath I snuck back to the bathroom an tamed my hair. I put on a pair of yoga pants and a comfy shirt and then sat down and folded and organized my clothes while the boys slept.

"Good Morning!" Someone yelled in my ear making me scream. Niall opened his eyes and sat up.

"What's wrong?!" he asked with a groggy Irish accent while rubbing his eyes.

"I can't believe you!" I screamed turning around to hit who I thought was Lou but it wasn't. I wrapped him in such a tight hug I didn't think he could breathe.

"Jay what are you doing here???" I asked both happy and mad to see him. Jay was like a brother to me, although we looked nothing alike...him with dark olive skin, chestnut hair and dark chocolate eyes. compared to my red hair, pale skin, and light brown eyes that change from green to gold. He was 14 almost 15 but I always treated him like he was younger and even though he hated it sometimes he would appreciate it. he wasn't the baby of the screwed up life I was living but he was treated like it.

"Melody is going to kill you!" I said letting him go. He sat down next to me and helped me fold the messy pile of clothes.

"Could you be any louder?" Harry asked sitting up. his curls all over the place and his voice raspy.

"Oh! Sorry!" I said as he laid back down

"don't be!" Hi all said throwing a small pillow at Harry. "he's just grumpy cuz he got the small couch last night!" Niall joked and Harry moaned and rolled over. Niall stepped over the pile of clothes I was putting back into my bag and stumbled to the bathroom.

"Mom texted me on your phone last night asking where I was. I just said that I needed to get away and that I went to Charlie's. funny thing is is that I called him an he's in Cali this weekend with his family and I'm meeting up with him today so he can take me home. it won't be much fun with his 3 little sisters but I had to say a proper goodbye to you!"

the memories I was trying to not think about flooded back to me from last night. all I could remember after getting on the bus was crying and crying and then some more crying.

"I'm mad at you for doing this but I also love you for it!" I pulled him into another hug.

"so I take it that there's also no way for me to convince you to come back with me?" he asked not meeting my eyes putting a shirt into the bag.

I took his chin and lifted his head to meet my eyes.

"I'm sorry but I can't. I want to be there for you but you have seen how she treats me and I was going to move out at 18 anyways. I was going to legally adopt you too." I said sighing.

"you still can! please Elizabeth...what am I going to do without you there?" he pleaded.

"anything...it will be easier now that I'm out of there. less fighting, less screaming. alright? and I will com get you once in turn 18 but until then I can't."

"okay. oh and I grabbed this for you. I wanted to make sure you had this with you." he pulled out a chain with a heart pendant on it. I took it and gave him a huge hug.

"the one time I take it off had to be the day before I left didn't it?" I said puttng it on.

when I was younger my parents left me on the doorstep of the orphanage due to tough times and they had left an obstancial ammout of money that was to go towards taking me in. Along with that money was a locket that i wear to this day and mst never take off.

"The odds havent exactly been in your favor lately have they?" He asked quoting from one of my favorite books...The Hunger Games...I gave him a sad laugh.

"not exactly." I replied holding the locket in my fist trying to not think of everything that has happened.

we all sat and talked and i beat everyone in a couple games of uno until the bus came to a stop at a hotel in L.A. I was disappointed when i looked out the window to find charlie and his annoyed parents who were trying to keep the three younger daughters in control. Jay looked to me with sad eyes and then his face went straight and serious.

"Take care of yourself." He said grabbing my shoulders.

"I will!" I said trying to lighten the mood and make him stop worrying.

"I mean it! Promise me...say I promise I will take care of myself and if anything goes wrong to call me."

"Jay...I promise you that I will take care of myself and if anything goes wrong I will call you." I took him by the shoulders and looked into his eyes when I said those words. I made my tone as serious as I could.

He wrapped his arms around my torso and I could feel his tears soak through my shirt. I fisted his hair at the nape of his neck to try and comfort him and to try and hold back my own tears.

"I'll miss you Lizzie." He said

"I'll come get you sooner than you think. Time will pass by fast...I promise."

And with that he got in the car and was gone.
