Deadly Silence [HS]

chp.45

And Chloe before you tell me this was a surprise I put a tweet up so no it isn't :)

"Yep that's me" Lacy shrugs a smile as I watch the colour drain from Phoebe's face. I know she had a thing for Niall when she met him first, she is well and truly over it but the fact that the two of them are related has lcompletely stunned her.

"Everyone likes to shock me these days, I'm getting too old for this shit" Harry mutters and Louis snorts a laugh.

"Don't mind him, Phoebe you gonna sit down?" I ask as I watch my little sister stand with a pale face.

"Why are you this far out of town Lace? It's not safe" Harry questions

"Harry, come on I'm twenty one" she complains

"Lace I don't care did you at least tell Niall?" I pull my eyebrows together at his question

"Harry relax" I whisper

"No I won't" He whisper shouts back I move back slightly

"Why are you being so fucking overbearing christ Haz" Lacy groans "It's been years I. Am. Fine" she tells him sternly

"I know Lacy, but I can still get worried you are my little sister no matter what you say"

"Yeh I know" she sighs "Just take it easy alright I'm my own person no need to go all protective on me"  Harry smiles

"Lace have you met me I'm always gonna be protective"

"I second that have you met him" I say sarcastically to her earning a laugh from the table

"Oh you watch it missy" H taunts

"Or you'll get it later" Louis adds and I cringe backwards into my seat and Harry wraps his hand around my chair.

"Louis" Lizzy complains "That is a sight I never want to envision" making Harry bark a laugh at her utter disgust written on her face.

"Wait" I hear Phoebe whisper from across the table in between Lizzy and Harry's conversation to Lacy. I shouldn't listen in but I do. I just want her to be ok. This was a shock to her as well and she is still so pale, I am just making sure she isn't going to get sick. That all I keep telling myself

"Can-ca-can we talk more about th-this later" my sister stutters

As I surveil the situation I see Lacy give her a reassuring smile and comforting touch "Of course I wanted to talk to you myself about this now that this has come to surface"

Phoebe nods "O-ok"

"Your ok baby don't worry" Lacy whispers before pulling my sisters into a hug as she looks like she is about to break down. So I give them some privacy paying attention to the discussion around me

...

"What do you want to eat honey?" Louis asks Lizzy and the hand on my shoulder freezes and so do I. Harry gives me firm squeezes as I close my eyes to take some steady breathes just like Ruby had taught me. I tune them out and focus on my breath and what I can touch, it's what is working for me at the moment. Harry kisses my head in encouragement, to an outsider it just looks like I am basking in his touch, relaxed and happy. I am, but I am trying to calm myself down.

"Your ok" he tells me in a hushed tone as he strokes my hair knowing my triggers from previous panic attacks.

"I've got this, I'm ok" I repeat to myself. I open my eyes and look around each couple talking to themselves completely unaware of anything around them as they make a decision on what they want to eat.
