I'm Looking For You(One Direction)

Ch. 12 Family Problems

¤Laura's P.O.V.¤

(As Laura leaves the music room)

I walk out of the music room and walk to my kitchen. I grab a water bottle from my fridge and chug out down.

'Why do the boys want to help me? I don't need their help' I tell myself

I'm interrupted when Anne and my aunt walk in. They look at each other and then back at me.

"Um would you guys like something to drink or perhaps eat?" I offer.

"I would like tea if you wouldn't mind" Anne says, my aunt nods in agreement.

I grab the kettle from a cabinet above the stove and put water in it. I set it on the flames as it heats up. I turn back and stare at the women infront of me.

"So how do you like London?" Anne asks

"Ooh it's-" I get cut off as the boys run past us saying goodbye. We all wave at them and I don't continue until I hear the door close.

"As I was saying, it's lovely. It's different, but I like it." I smile.

"Ooh that's fantastic," my aunt says.

The kettle starts to whistle and I take out three cups and some packets of tea. I put the packets on the island and turn around to put the steaming water in cups. I put the cups infront and they put the tea bags in the cups.

"So how have you guys been?" I ask them.

"I'm fine just taking care of Gemma," then Anne mumbles, "hope she doesn't throw a party while I'm gone."

"Ooh that's wouldn't be good" I laugh, then turn to my aunt, "And you?"

"Just taking care of the girls. Especially Safaa, she can't take the hate she gets. Doniya and Waliyha can handle it, but not my youngest. Also considering she's only eight." She frowned.

"I'm so sorry to hear that. How could anyone do that?" I question

"Well since Zayn became famous people started to bully her. Zayn tried to control it, but it never worked. She doesn't talk to anyone other than Zayn about this and that makes him feel guilty."

"So practically one sibling is suffering because one is trying to fulfill his dream?" That's puzzling.

"Yeah practically, the other two aren't affected as much-" she gets cut of by her phone ringing. She looks at it and answers it.

"Hi sweetie... Whats wrong... Really... I'm sorry I can't be there right now... No he's not here right now... I'm with Anne and Isadora... Yes Laura... Really... Um okay I'll ask." She puts her hand over the phone and turns to me, "Safaa wants to speak to you. Would you mind speaking to her?"

"Of course I'll talk to her." I rush to say.

"Okay," she takes her hand of the phone, "She says she'll talk I'm handing her the phone." Then she hands me the phone.

"Hi Laura" A sweet, but cracking voice tells me.

"Hello Safaa. It's nice to speak to you." I say into the recever.

"The same with me. I hear about you all the time. Um..." She trails off.

"What is it darling?" I ask her

"Um, since you and Zayn are the same age and you see him. I want to tell you what happened so you can tell him. I don't want my mummy to hear this." She says on a soft voice.

"Okay, what is it? I promise I won't tell."

"Um, okay. Today I was walking to the park and I was almost there when some kids came up to me and started to yell at me," She took a breath. "Then they pushed me and I was going around in the circle they made. I was scared. They said," she sniffled. "They said I wasn't good enough to be Zayn's sister. And that" she sniffled again, this time louder. "They said I shouldn't be alive." Then she broke down in tears.
