Colin's POV
I woke up and trudged downstairs for something to eat. Mum wasn't home nor was dad, mum is going to kill him. You see mum still models and dad said he would be home, but he's not. I made enough eggs and bacon for all of us. Natalie takes forever in the bathroom. I got joy, esther, and Hannah ready for school.
While they were eating I got dressed in some sweats and toms. I'm super tired today. I was watching some tele when Natalie came down fully dressed in some jeans and shirt plus hair in braid. She ate some food then sat next to me. "So Colin who's driving us to school?" She asked laughing. "Someone , now shut up." I said grabbing their dishes. I called aunt Mandy to see if she will drive us to school, she didn't have much kids to drive anyway. I mean all she had was Emerson and Evelyn. Hannah, Esther, and joy had buses since they are in elementary.
She liked to drive her kids to school and uncle Niall stayed home with Jocelyn and Carson. I feel like I have the worst life out of everyone, sometimes I go in the woods and think alone. Aunt Mandy came and drove us to school. I got to school and found Isaac. We walked to class together.
*skipping school*
School was over Natalie went to daisy's house. I had a hour to myself since Hannah and Joy don't get out of school because they use the same buses as us. I threw my stuff on the table and grabbed my guitar and walked to the woods. It's my own little place where no one messes with me and I can talk to myself. "I hate my life." I said to myself.
I sat on the bench by the pond which was small. "If only I wasn't born into this family. I can see Natalie hates me, but my parents are never around. If I broke a bone they wouldn't notice." I said to myself and playing my guitar to little things. That's my favorite song by them. Uncle niall taught me the guitar when I was young. I heard leaves crunching behind me in the distant. I got up and looked to find aunt dani. "Colin are you ok?" She asked. "How did you find me?" I said looking at the leaves which were becoming interesting. " I heard your guitar. Now answer my question." She said touching my shoulder.
"I'm not fine at all. I hate my life, I wish I was born to someone else. Everyone payed attention to me when I was little, but cause there was not as much kids, no one knows me anymore." I said starting to cry. "Oh Colin. Why don't you tell your mum or dad? Don't keep it inside." She said hugging me. " there never here. I take care of Hannah and joy half the time." I said wiping my tears that keep coming. "I'm calling them right now then. Isaac has been telling me your grades are going down, but I never knew about your parents."she said getting her phone out. "Eleanor is still modeling, but I can't get ahold of louis. I'm sorry hun. You guys can eat with us tonight okay." She said taking my guitar and walking to the house.
We got inside and Hannah ran up to me. "Joy got hurt! Come help!" She said pulling on my pants. I picked her up and ran to where I heard crying. I saw joy crying and her leg was messed up and bleeding. "Go get aunt dani now!" I said holding joy. Hannah ran away and came back with aunt dani. She had fear in her eyes. "I'm calling 9-9-9." She said calling it. I was scared for her. In came some people in white taking her. I got Hannah and we followed behind with aunt dani. She must've bought them home because Natalie wasn't home.
We got in the car and she went to the hospital. We waited in the room until they said we could see her. Hannah fell asleep in my lap with her head on my chest. It was time for Courtney to leave and I was hungry. Aunt dani said she wasn't leaving until Natalie and my parents came. Hannah was still sleeping on me. My mum came running in along with my dad behind. Aunt dani told them everything, I hope she only meant about joy. Dad grabbed Hannah and I stood up. "Bye, I have to go." Aunt dani said and left. Dad was quiet and different. Not like him for sure. " Natalie is staying with zayn and Sara ." Mum said.
Mum went in Joy's room and dad went with Hannah somewhere. Mum came out and came up to me. " Colin are you alright? Dani called and said you weren't." Mum said. "Yea I'm fine. I just didn't feel good after I saw the blood on joy's knee." I said lying. I sat back down and felt like I was going to burst with tears. Dad came back, but without Hannah. "Where's Hannah louis?" Mum asked. "She's with amanda and niall." He said putting his hands in his pockets. Mum went back into joy's room. "Dad what's wrong?" I asked sitting next to him. "Nothing Colin I'm just tired.
What did Danielle want?" He said looking at me. " no I won't tell you unless you tell me what you do all freaking day!" I said getting mad. " look Colin I'm your father I tell you what to do! Now you tell me what Danielle wanted it!" He said yelling at me. " ground me. Punish me. I hate you! And mum!" I said running out of the hospital. I may play soccer, but I can run. I ran all the way to the house. I ran in the woods and sat on the bench. I started crying. I fell asleep right there.
Natalie's POV
After school I went to daisy's house. Her brother was at pratice and her parents are awesome. Everyone thinks we have the perfect life, but really it's the worst, mum is never home, dad is gone half the time, and Colin takes care of us. I spend so much time in the bathroom in the morning only because I cut and then have to cover it up with makeup. Daisy and I messed with their dog.
Aunt sara came into her room and said " Nat you will be staying night." And she left. "Woah my mum is strict about school nights. Why is she letting it happen now?" She asked watching tele. We watched movies and did girl stuff. Nathan came in and said "dinner's ready." And we followed him. We ate dinner and went outside, everyone came, even the dog. We played some football, aunt perrie sat, uncle zayn played with us, and even the dog. We went inside and went to sleep.
Louis' POV
I feel like a terrible father which I am. At bed Eleanor trys to change my mind, but all I say "thanks.", but on the inside I hate myself. The lads said my family would be the loudest and happy, but were they wrong. I leave because I must, it could kill my family, so as long as they are safe I'm fine.
I wish I was there for my children while el is gone.
