STORY TIME! 

Okay, so I sit across from this kid in social studies and randomly, the other day he's like, "Meaghan, do you tap dance?" and I'm like "What?!" So he says "Someone told me you tap dance and I wanted to know if it was true." I used to tap before school started, so I was like, "Um... I did. Who told you?" And you wanna know his response?... "I gotta go to the bathroom!" and he runs away... WHAT WAS YHAT ABOUT?!

It's been a while so I have another story! 

I am so afraid of my science teacher it's crazy! So I walk into class and she was staring at me in a stalker-type way. So I sit in my seat and randomly she yells, "ARE WE WEARING THE SAME PANTS?!"... I was wearing red pants and she was wearing bright orange pants...OBVIOUSLY NOT! So I was like, "Umm... no?" and goes, "WELL I HOPE NOT!"... WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?! WHY IS SHE HATING ON MY PANTS!?! Grrrrr!

Anyway...

"What's going on? You ignore Niall, you're always in another world, and you cry a lot," Louis said.

"It's my sister," I whispered.

"Your sister?" he repeated.

I nodded. "She is in the hospital."

"Why?"

"She has cancer. I was supposed to visit every day, but obviously, I can't. She isn't doing too well; the doctor said I was the biggest reason she's still alive. Her treatments, they aren't working."

"I'm so sorry," he said sympathetically. He paused before asking, "What about your parents? Don't they visit?"

I cried harder. "My parents, they kicked me out when I was 15."

"Why?"

"I made some mistakes; not huge stupid ones like doing drugs or getting pregnant, but things like skipping school, and cutting, and - uh..." I trailed off not wanting to tell him.

"What else? Tell me... it can be our little secret. No one else will find out. I swear."

"You'll get mad," I whispered.

"I won't," he said, grabbing my hand, and giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"I attempted at suicide," I whispered.

There was a moment of silence. "Why?"

"I was tired of being treated like dirt all the time. I thought I had the worst life ever, but the truth is... I don't. My parents told me I had 48 hours to leave before they called the police. I packed up and stayed with a friend for a few weeks. Then I formed a habbit of pushing people away... My friend, Ally, she didn't understand. I got mad and left one night."

"Where did you go?"

"I wondered around Rhode Island, and ended up in Boston. I went to the police for help. They bought me a place to live, and payed for 6 months rent. I got a job at the café. In July last year, I got a call. I picked up, recognizing the number; my parents. I don't know why, but I got excited. I picked up to hear crying... my sister, Catlin. She was kicked out because she got cancer."

"That's terrible! It's not her fault!" Louis said, shocked.

"That's what I said, but my parents thought of it as 'too high maitnence'. I took a train and picked her up the next day. She moved in with me. She was 7 years old when they found out. She lives in a hospital room now. Yesterday-" I couldn't continue because of my loud sobs.

"Shhh. Shhh. Shhh," Louis soothed, wrapping me in a hug. "It's okay"

I broke out of his grasp and spun around. "No it isn't!" I cried. "Yesterday was her 8th birthday! It might have been her last! And I missed it!"

He was speechless. He didn't know what to say, or how to say it. I could tell he's never been in this situation.

I collapsed to the floor crying. My knees tucked themselves into my chest.

"Ariel, please don't cry," he whispered, crouching down beside me.

I calmed my sobs and looked up at him. He had a tear running down his face.

"She loves Niall. She doesn't know the rest of you, but she looks just like Niall. When she saw him in a magazine, she fell in love with him."

"Really?"

I smiled and nodded, "Yeah. Her dream is to meet him."

"She will."

I smiled. "What will happen when we get out?"

"I don't know, but we will stay together, and Catlin will meet Niall. You have to tell him though, so that he knows you aren't ignoring him."

"Can you tell him?" I asked. "I really don't think I can."

He smiled. "How about we tell all of the boys?"

I nodded. "Deal."

He helped me up then we walked out hand in hand.

Harry's face lit up when he saw us. "LIAM'S TURN!"
