Shhh..

Chapter 2: Ella

"Dad, I can explain." I said as he held the piece of paper in the air. "I didn't know he gave it to me. He must've slipped it in my bag! I swear dad! I rejected him, I did!!" I said. He stayed quiet. "Dad?" I asked. "It's fine. I know you're telling the truth. But you're not calling him." He threw the paper in the garbage disposal. "Ok, I wasn't going to anyway." I said, my dad sat down and continued eating. I heard the news in the background.

"There talking about that baby that was stolen again." I said. "She's not a baby anymore. That happened 17 years ago." He explained. "Then why are they still investigating?" I asked. "They really want to find out who did it, I guess. The man took the baby and killed the mom. It's a serious situation." He mumbled. He always got so serious when we talked about this. I just nodded and stayed quiet.

To be honest, I didn't like talking about this stuff. It just reminded me if my mom. She died of breast cancer when I was 3. I don't remember her at all. My dad said I looked just like her though. For some reason, I don't believe him. I don't believe that she died of breast cancer. I don't know why though. "I'm done." I said putting my dish in the dish washer. I started walking up the stairs but stopped and turned around.

"Dad? Are you lying to me?" I asked. He looked up at me with his face pale. "I would never lie to you." I said quietly. I didn't reply, I just walked up the stairs and into my bedroom. I put in my headphones and thought about the blonde.

What was his name again..?

Niall.

His name was Niall.

~Niall~

Her eyes, her eyes sparkled when she looked at me. They were so beautiful, she was so beautiful. "What are you thinking about lad?" Harry asked sitting next to me. I shrugged. "You know what I'm thinking about?" He asked smiling up at the ceiling. "What Harry?" I asked annoyed. "Her. What was her name again?" He asked. "Ella." I said smiling big. Saying her name just made me happy.

"She hasn't texted or called? Are you sure you put it in her bag..?" He asked. "Yeah, but it might of fell out, she ran away." I said. "That's weird, she must've had someplace to go." He said. I nodded, even though I new she just wanted to get out of there. She said she wasn't looking for a boyfriend, and then said she can't. What 16 year old can't have a boyfriend? To be honest, I wanted to get to know her, she seemed..

Interesting.

I looked up at the ceiling and picture Ella in my head. Her smile made me go weak. I don't even know this girl but she seems so special. "I don't think she had somewhere to go Harry." I whispered. "What do you mean?" He said. "She seemed so couscous. And like, I don't know, worried." I explained. "I guess." He shrugged. "I just really want her to text or call or something!" He said standing up and walked away.

I laid down and looked up at the ceiling. I closed my eyes and picture her face again. Her bright smile and deep blue eyes. I smiled to myself. I hope I could see her again..

I pray to God that I will.

I woke up early that morning. Got up, and got ready for today. Today, I was gonna look for her, find her. That's how much I like her, I'm usually not the one who falls easily. But yesterday, yesterday I felt like I've never felt before. I slipped on my shoes and walked out without Harry seeing me.

I walked down the street looking at people carefully. Two girls came up to me. "Aren't you on the X Factor?" One asked. "Yeah, I'm on a break though, before the judges house." I said. "Can we have your autograph?" The other asked. "Yeah sure." I smiled. I signed their shirts quickly and continued to look.

Oh yeah, Did I mention I'm in the band One Direction? Well, I am, no biggy. That's how me and Harry met, we're in the band together. I searched and searched for what seemed like forever. I just couldn't find her. A store on my left caught my eye. It was a music shop. I walked in and there was a young girl at the counter. She had light brown hair with freckles on her nose. I started to look around the aisles. "Do you want me to get this one?" A familiar voice asked.

"Yeah, whatever." The girl replied.

"Hi, can I help-" I turned around to see her.

"Ella." I smiled
