More Than Gold (A 1D/Janoskians Fan-Fic) *ON HOLD*

Chapter 3

Dedication to @PatrickJames7 :)

By the time I was done eating dinner and catching up on the daily gossip of the family, it was 10:30pm. Time to hit the sack. I gave each of the boys a quick peck on the cheek, and gave Gina a friendly hug.

Gina was the boys' mom, also like the mother I never got to know. She was really the only one I had left, aside from the boys.

She led me down the long hallway to my bedroom. So she knew I was staying? "This will be your new room for as long as you need it. If you are ever having a hard time, the door is always open here, you know that. Please, do stay as long as you want. It's good having another woman in this house once in a while." I smiled politely and gave her a kiss on each of her cheeks. "I love you. I really do. Thank you." I told her. She nodded, and quickly exited my room with a blow of a kiss. I returned the favor and shut my door behind her.

On the walls were pictures of the boys when they were little, and models of famous paintings. There was a side table beside my queen sized, purple flower printed bed, with a picture of me and Luke when we were 6, sitting in the sand at the park hugging each other, with me kissing him on the cheek. I smiled to myself, and got in to my warm bed. I quickly unlocked my phone, opening a new text message I had received.

From: Skip Sahyounie

I heard you were in town for a little while? Come to the café downtown tomorrow at 2pm to catch up, yeh? x

From: Ellie Chambers

Of course! I thought I would see you around here anyways? You're not going to run around Melbourne like a lunatic with the others? x

From: Skip Sahyounie

Yes, but I thought we could use a little one on one time, just me and you? To catch up, ye know? x

From: Ellie Chambers

From: Skip Sahyounie

I have always been close with Skip, almost as close as I am to Luke and Jai. I had never had feelings towards them as more than a friend. I have always thought of them as brothers, nothing more. They make me feel as if I was never alone. I was so grateful to have them in my life. A tear fell down my face as I heard a light knock at the door.

"May I enter?" Luke asked me jokingly.

"You may." I told him.

He sat on the edge of my bed. I sat up to face him, playing with his fingers as he asked me questions about what had happened that night. "I just don't feel like I did the first time I met him. He really hurt me. As if I haven't been hurt enough already." I said as another tear rolled, then another, then another.

"You know I hate seeing you cry." Luke told me. I nodded in agreement.

He had always told me not to cry over someone who wouldn't be there to dry my tears. After thinking about that, I immediately stopped crying. He really did make me feel amazing.

"Please don't waste your tears on him, he's not worth it." He told me. "Go to sleep, El. You'll feel better in the morning, and if you don't, I'll make you breakfast."

I smiled. "Will you still make me breakfast, even if I do feel better?" I asked him.

He smiled back at me. "We'll see how lazy I am in the morning," He winked at me, kissed my forehead, and then tiptoed out of the room. "Goodnight!" He said.

"Goodnight." I replied, and immediately fell asleep in my warm fuzzy bed. It's good to be home.
