The Secret Daughter

Chapter 3

"Is she breathing?" The male voice above me asks and I feel his heat above me. 

"I think so," Another voice says. The world blurs back into my vision, almost as if I was waking up from some horrible dream. 

"Louis, grab my taco."

"Niall, shut up I'm saving a pretty girl's life!"

"Where did Liam go anyway?"

"He went to find Lou."

"If a random girl showed up at your house and then almost got strangled wouldn't you want to know about it." Around me feet scuffle as my eyes flutter open.

"Hey look she's awake!" The black haired one says, leaning down towards me, his hands outstretched. With a gentle touch he helps me sit up.

"Mica!" My mother cries, her heals clicking against the garage floor. 

"You know her?" There's misunderstanding in the blonde boy's voice. Niall. My mother helps me up, but as soon as I stand up I fall towards the floor again. I land in his arms, though. Liam.

"Woah, careful there." His voice is cautious. He picks me up and I don't object as I'm carried into the house and laid on the couch. 

"Baby, what happened?" My mother asks kneeling next to me. Her eyes are clouded with fear. The tears start out of nowhere again as I explain about Kyle. The boys stand at a distance as she hugs me tightly.

"When I got home, Logan was here." I tell her, choking on a sob that won't leave my throught. "He told me that he was going to hurt me if I didn't come with him. So I kicked him and he grabbed me." I tell her, resting my head on her shoulder.

"Oh, Baby it's alright. You're safe."

"Are you going to call the police?" I ask her quietly, fearing the answer. 

"I already did." Liam pipes up. I make eye contact with the boy, but as soon as I focus on his chocolate brown eyes they dart away, somehow distracted by something more important.

"They're looking for him, Baby, it's okay."

"Mum, where's Lux?" I ask, my thoughts turning to my baby sister. My mother turns and points to the curly haired boy cradling Lux in his arms. He slowly approaches me and hands her over. She climbs to my chest and grabs a fist full of my hair. 

"Hello, Lovely Girl." I laugh as she gives me a kiss on the cheek.

"Mica okay?" She's so sweet and innocent. If only everyone in the world could be as innocent as a 2 year old. 

"I'm fine, Luxie. Everything's okay." I tell her letting her press her head against my cheek.

"Lou, I think you have some explaining to do." The dark haired boy says. I can't place his name.

"I think you're right, Zayn." My mother says, standing up. "Boys, this is my daughter."

"We know Lux is your daughter. Who's the chick?" I think it's Louis who asks this, though I always get him and the Niall all mixed up. 

"I have 2 daughters, boys. You know Lux, and this is Mica."
