Larry's New Daughter?!

Fighting To Running (Part 2 - Present Time)

Zariah is now 15 years old. She managed to find somewhere safe. She found an old shed or small building in the park and decided to use it since no one has used it, for what it looks like, in years.

She's settled down with a few blankets and pillows she also managed to take with her after her 2nd attempt to grab more stuff. Her parents hasn't even tried looking for her which made her think she was really that worthless and probably will be to everyone else. She managed to get a part time job at a small bakery down the road which reminded her of one out of 5 boys who has kept her alive. Harry Styles. She's admired him ever since X-Factor and it's now November of 2014.

She barely survives with the money she earns and she saves it for only food, clothes if necessary, and drinks. She's gained a severe eating disorder just for trying her best to save the food as long as possible. She's been living like this for 2 years now and she thinks this will be her life now.

She did buy herself a soccer ball to keep herself occupied and of course, autumn clothes since it's getting cold quite fast. She was quietly playing with the ball by herself but as the sun started to set, she started to shiver from the cold but kept playing. As the stars came out in the night sky, she was really getting cold since she didn't have a scarf or gloves to keep her a bit warmer. She finally decided to stop and as she picked her soccer ball up, she heard the one Doncaster accent she'd never get out of her head. Louis Tomlinson.

Louis: "Hey love! I saw you were playing by yourself in the cold.. it's getting late too, you ok?"

Zari didn't respond as she stared at him with wide eyes. He took the hint that she knew him so he smiled.

Louis: "Don't worry, darlin'! I won't bite. Want me to play with you or are you going home?"

She finally snaps out of it. She shyly speaks as she tries her best to hold her tears back.

Zari: "No uhm-.. you can.. p-play with me.. I don't mind.."

Louis saw straight through her and instantly knew something was wrong so he gently put his hand on her shoulder, looking at her in the eyes.

Louis: "Love.. be honest with me please.. what's wrong?.."

He spoke softly which made Zari mentally take her guard down and her walls instantly fell. She tears up even more as she spoke, her voice quivering.

Zari: "I-I.. uhm.. I ran away 2 years ago.. and I've been here since.."

Lou would be shocked and worried almost instantly. 2 years? "She looks so young! Possibly 15, 16 years old? Is she ok?.." He thought. He wanted to help her so much but he just met her and the fans probably wouldn't be happy or something. "Ugh! Think, Lou. Think!" He thought. He finally made a decision that has many risks but he didn't care. He wanted to make sure this girl is safe.

Louis: "Oh my goodness.. I'm so sorry, darlin'... can.. can I help you at all?.."

Zari doesn't respond. She didn't want help. She was useless and a burden, right?..

Zari: "I'm ok.. I'm living and I'm finally safe so.. I'll be ok. I promise.."

Louis really wanted to do something to help but he didn't wanna force her. He did take note of how skinny and sick she looks.

Louis: "Are you sure? You don't look so good.."

Zariah debates on letting him help her. She has loved him since X-Factor as well so she trusts him with her heart.. broken and beatened heart that is. She debates over and over in her head, trying to think of either lying more or letting him help. She couldn't choose as she quietly mumbles to him.

Zari: "I.. I don't know.. I don't need help.. I'll be fine.. I'm.. managing."

Louis: "No.. please let me help you.. you don't look ok and even if you're just managing, you're still not doing well.. where's your parents?"

Zari tensing up tells Louis alot. She doesn't have a good relationship with them. He connects the dots in his head and his heart shatters. She ran away 2 years ago because of her parents. He had to help her now.

Louis: "Wait- don't answer that.. you're gonna come home with me ok? Yes, it sounds like I'm forcing you but just.. please give me a chance.. I hate seeing you like this.."

Zari looks at him as she tears up. Louis Tomlinson himself, wanting to take in a burden and mistake like her into his life? She thinks she'll just cause issues and she didn't want that but she didn't exactly have a choice.

Zari: "F-Fine.. I'll go home with you.." She spoke softly as she shivers from the sudden breeze.

Louis takes his warm jacket off and wraps it around her.

Louis: "Do you.. have any stuff you still have you wanna take?"

Zari instantly nods and she starts walking to the small old shed she has called home for 2 years. His heart sinks down to his stomach as he followed and saw where she's been living. He was looking around a bit as she packs everything up.

Louis: "This.. is where you've been?.." He asks softly with worry laced in his voice

Zari quietly sighs.

Zari: "I ran away after nearly being beaten... again.. it was just after I got home too.. I got expelled later for all the missing days after running away.. it's just all a blur.." She replied gently, slowly moving her gaze to the ground as she crosses her arms.

Louis just looks at her, worry and sadness filling his ocean blue eyes. He knew he had to take her in for good. He wanted to throw her parents behind bars for life. "Who would hurt someone like her? She's so kind and loving.. she couldn't have done anything wrong.." He thought. He then spoke up softly again to make sure he doesn't scare her. She just looked and sounded so fragile like glass that had cracks already.

Louis: "You'll be safe with me and the lads.. I promise we'll help you.."

Zari looks back up at him, looking hopeful as she debates on hugging him. Will she finally be saved? Who knows.
