Paul's Adopted Daughter ~ One Direction Fan Fic

Chapter 5~ Anger and the Truth

After we got home from studio Paul didn't say one thing to me. All i got from him was angered glares and huffs of frustration.

Maybe he is like my past 'fathers'. Maybe he'll eventually hurt me too, i just won't know when or where it will happen that's all.

"Iris, put Claudia down and put John in his room with Calliou on please." I nodded. I picked up Claudia and grabbed John's hand, taking them both up the stairs with me. I sighed as i heard Paul throw something against the wall, i cringed.

Those all too familiar spine chills were back and guess who didn't like them one bit? This girl right here.

"Go to sleep baby. I'll be here when you wake up i promise you." I kissed Claudia's forehead and closed her door nice and snug behind me. I tucked John into his bed and kissed his forehead leaving Calliou on his mini telly.

I felt my back pocket ding with excitement, dumb ass phone stop vibrating my ass. I pulled my phone out and smiled at the contact lighting my screen up. Harry.

"Hey Harry, what's shaken' bacon?" I smiled, i scurried off into my room before Paul could hear me potentially flirting with one od his..bosses i guess you could call it.

"Nothin much, how about there?" I shrugged then remembered that he couldn't see me, smarty.

"Ehh Paul's still in his hissy fit and the babies are in bed." Just think, soon i'll be able to have kids of my own....Iris slow it down you're only 16 there honey.

Jeesh what am i thinking.....am i going mad?

"Can i come over? Do you think Paul would let me?" I got out of my gaze, smiling at Harry's kind heart.

"I'll ask."

"Tell me what he says babe." I ran out of my room and grasped the railing that looked over the living room.

"Dad can i have Harry over?" I heard the clanking of pans stop and Paul's figure soon stood in the living room with his face towards me and a half smile lit up on it.

"Of course, he can stay over too ust not in the same bed." I skipped back to my room like a little girl who was having the best day of her life.

"He said yes. You can stay over too if you want." I heard a chuckle.

"So is 'staying over' what their calling it now?" I giggled and wished i could have slapped his arm just now.

"No dumby i mean sleep over just not in the same bed." I heard him sigh and make crying noises.

"But that's all the fun babe."

"Oh shut up and get over here smart ass." I hung up and put on pj bottoms, a tank top and my ducky slippers that pop up every time i walk.

I clicked on my telly and layed back in my bed waiting for the doorbell or a text from Harry.

~* About half an hour later *~

As the episode of South Park i watched was coming to a close i never thought Harry was coming. Did he seriously stand me up? What a douche.

"Iris get down here!" I threw the covers off of me, oh i probably forgot to do the dishes. Silly me.

I slumped down the stairs, my messy bun loosening slightly with each step i stumbled down.

"Yeah dad?" I asked yawning and stretching my arms, i walked into the kitchen and sat at the counter while Paul stood in front of me biting an apple.

I felt hands on my waist and a smile lit Paul's lips. I squealed while the hands lifted me off the stool and hugged me from behind tightly.

"It's only me babe calm down." I turned around and was delighted to see Harry's curls jumping up and down every time he moved the slightest bit.

"I thought you stood me up." I turned around and hugged him.

"Nope. I never would. Paul was just talking to me for the last 15 minutes or so." I let my air out, wait how long was i holding that in for?

"Oh what about?" Paul scratched his head while me and Harry took a seat on the stools.

"Just about boundaries. That's all." I nodded and took Harry's phone out of his hands. I read over the picture he had as his screen saver.

"An arrow can only be

shot by pulling it

backward. So when life

is dragging you back

with difficulties, it

means that it's going to

launch you into

something great."

I teared up. My heart breaking with every single word i read off the screen of his phone.

Did i finally meet someone who understands me?
