Delilah's P.O.V

I woke up in a very uncomfortable position. My arms where hanging over the side of the couch and my feet where above the cushions. I heard laughing from not too far away. As I slowly open my eyes I see that Harry is starring straight at me. He is chuckling and pointing at me.

"Sleep well, yeah?" He says still laughing. I smell something amazing. It smells like the thing I got from IHOP, pancakes were they? I also smell something that I haven't smelled before, it smells like oil.

"It smells really good!" I say siting up from my uncomfortable position.

"Yah Zayn is cooking bacon, and pancakes!" I tilt my head to the side. I guess that's why I smells something oily.

"Beacon?" I hate not knowing what these things are. I'm pretty sure this is an everyday thing for them.

"Yeah, it's pig fat basically, but it's so good!" He says practically drooling. Pig fat! That's nasty!

"What! I didn't know people eat pigs!" I say enthusiastically, waving my hands in the air to prove my point.

"Yeah, people eat pigs, cows, chicken, the list goes on and on. In some cultures they eat cat and dog too, but I don't! Eating pets is what I call nasty" he says. Wow, I really do learn new things everyday.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this before I lose my appetite." He just nods and grabs my hands to pull me into the kitchen.

"You really like pulling me by my hands don't you?" I ask and he just smirks and shrugs. He's something else.

"food is ready!" Zayn yells right when we reach the kitchen. I hear sizzling in a pan. No wonder I smelt oil. That looks super oily, but actually really good. I see a whole plate of pancakes on the table. I practically drool looking at it. I rush to the bathroom to wash my hands. Right when I leave Liam walks up to me and hands me my clothes which are nicely folded.

"I washed your clothes for you, I knew you would like fresh clothes." I couldn't help but give him a hug for his kind thoughts. He seems surprised at first but eventually hugs me back.

"Thank you, really!" I says sweetly before walking away. He just nods and walks the opposite direction. I skip back to the kitchen where Niall, Louis, Zayn, and Harry are scarfing down there food like they haven't eaten in days.

"Wow someone's hungry" I say glancing at all three of them. They all look up at me with a smirk.

"We are teenage boys, what do you expect." Louis says matter of factly and Niall just nods. There is a plate in in front of an empty chair sitting next to Harry.

"Is this for me?" I ask before sitting down.

"Yeah" they say in unison. I just giggle at the fact that they are really good at doing that. I grab a pancake from the plate that only has a couple left because the boys at least hat 3 each. I drown mine in syrup.

"You want some pancake with that syrup?" Niall says sarcastically. I just push him on the shoulder and he chuckles.

"How about some beacon?" Harry asks getting up to put his plate in the dishwasher. I just cringe at the thought of eating pig fat.

"I don't know, it's doesn't sound very appetizing to me." I say scrunching my nose.

"Oh come on, it's good I promise!" Niall says loudly. I just sigh loudly and nod my head. Harry smirks and goes to retrieve a piece of beacon for me. He hands me a piece of the oily fat and I have to admit, it does smell like heaven. I take a bit and my eyes intently pop out of my head.

"Wow! Not the flavor I was expecting!" I say shoving the whole thing down my throat. They all chuckle loudly and high five Zayn. Zayn just shakes his head and gets up. He grabs everyone's plate and puts it in the dishwasher.

"Thanks Zayny boy!" They all say in unison again!

"Did you guys take classes to learn how to say everything in unison?" I ask with a giggle. They all laugh and shrug.

"I don't know, I think we all just think a little too alike." Louis says.

"Get dressed Delilah." Harry says out of the blue.

"What why?" He has an unreadable expression.

"We are going to buy you a new phone, and maybe even clothes." He says with a smirk. Isn't a phone the thing he was talking about, when you can talk to people and stuff?

"A phone? Why would I need a phone?" I ask hesitantly. I really don't want to suffer the embarrassment of not knowing how to work the stupid thing.

"So we can stay in contact you know? We're not gonna be hanging out together forever." He says a sarcastically. I just sigh and nod my head.

"How much do they coast anyways?" I ask not really wanting to hear the answer. By the looks I can tell that they are a lot.

"Don't worry about that. Now go get dressed." He says gesturing for me to leave the room first. I sigh and walk slowly to my room. Harry pinches my sides and I let out a little yelp and sprint to the room and close the door before he can get in.

"Open the door Delilah!" He says in a playful tone. I just giggle and put my clothes on as fast as I can. I open the door and Harry stumbles inside. I guess he was leaning on the door.

"Probably not a good idea to lean on the door after telling someone to open it." I say with raised eyebrows, and crossed arms. He just chuckles and walks toward the door to put his shoes on, and so do I.

"Alright guys we are leaving!" Harry yells and leaves shortly after. I follow him and try to keep up with his long strides.

"Do you have to have such long legs?" I ask as he slows down to walk in sync next to me.

"Yes" he says and puts his wired wool looking hat that looks to hot for the weather and dark glasses.

"Why do you always wear that wired hat and dark glasses when we go outside?" I ask gesturing to his face. He glances at me and smirks. Right before we get in the elevator.

"It's called a beanie and sunglasses, and I wear them because, umm, protection from the sun." He says with an awkward cough afterwards. Ok...

"Oh" is all I manage to say. Before I know it we are getting in the car.

Macy's P.O.V (Delilah's mom)

I walk through the racks in the store "forever 21" in a mall. I'm looking for new clothes and then I'll just walk around. I haven't seen Delilah in a couple days but I'm not as worried as I should be. I'm more pissed than ever though. She just ran away. I didn't keep her in the house for 6 years for nothing. I expected this sooner or later though. I feel like she's okay though, like I have this gut feeling

Just to prove my point about her being okay, she walks right into the shop, but wait! She's with a boy! That boy looks so familiar. It's at the tip of my tongue, I can recognize that mop of curls anywhere.

Harry styles! That's his name! I remember him. He was the younger brother of Gemma! Which was the best friend of my older daughter Ariel, which is also missing. Harry had a huge crush on Ariel. He was 5 years younger than her but it was a cute little crush. He would bring her freshly picked flowers. And every time she would kiss him on the cheek as a thank you, or just purely for fun, he would run a away with the biggest blush on his face and a smile. It was the cutest. But the more I think about it he looks just like someone else. Was it from a band or something? I have no clue. Look how big he has gotten though. 8 years ago when Ariel went missing we moved and they never contacted us. Him and Delilah were never interested in hanging out, until now I guess.

I moved out of the way so she doesn't see me. I might just see what there up to.
