Ok so there will be military people in this chapter and chapter 8. I am not a military family(like my family isn't in the military) so I have no idea what they would do or say, so bare with me on this chapter.
-----------------
*Niall's POV*
I'm really worried for her. I went through her house phone to see if there was any family members that would be willing to look after her, but I found none that knew she even exists
"I wonder how distant her parents were from the rest of the family." I thought out loud.
"Why would you think that?" Liam questioned.
"Well, none of her family members knows she even exists."
"That's weird."
"Yeah."
"She better not fall from that tree, I won't help pay her hospital bill." Zayn stated.
"Zayn, give her a break. I'm sure she's a pro at climbing that tree."
"What makes you think she's a pro tree-climber?" He said sarcastically.
"By those pictures." I pointed to the wall that was close to the tree. Every picture frame was put somewhere to complete its look on being a tree shape. In each picture it shows a young Elizabeth perfecting her climb as the years go on. The picture at the very top though is different. Its a picture of Elizabeth, her mom, her dad, and a young boy. Her mom was sitting on the grass making what looks like a flower crown. She's wearing a white and navy striped sun dress and a floral crown adorned her head.
The father was in the background playing with a dog. He's wearing simple tan shorts and the same colored striped shirt as the mother. The dog had beautiful black fur and brown spots where they were supposed to be. Elizabeth was sitting on a swing with a young boy that looks to be around her age, behind her pushing her. They look so happy. Ellie was wearing a blue Polk-a-dot button up and what looks like white lace shorts. The young boy matching the father with a navy seal like hair cut.
A knock on the door interrupts my gaze. I open the door expecting to see one of Ellie's friends but instead I saw a soldier and what may be the general.
"Um, Hi, may I help you?" I ask politely.
"Yes, we are looking for young Elizabeth Jones." The older man says.
"Oh, yeah, she's out back, I'll take you to her." I say.
"Thank you soldier, that would be nice." I nod my head in response. I make my way to Ellie, the military folks following close behind. Soon enough, I got lost in my thoughts but eventually we reached the tree Ellie is in.
"Ellie? Can you come down for a sec?" I ask.
"Sure," She says with a sigh.
"Niall, who's this?" She asks warily.
"I forgot to mention how your parents died." I hesitantly said.
"What do you mean?"
"They died saving the country."
