Imagine {On Hold}

«Chapter 15- Surprise!»

«Mary's POV»

"Mary!" Niall yelled.

I flinched and said, "Bye Zack. I love you." I hung up and wrapped my black soft blanket around me. I held my knees against my chest and glanced down the fire escape. People were flocked in front of our building trying to get in to see the boys.

My phone rand and a text from Lou said: I have an amazing surprise for u when I get home!!

What kind of surprise? Maybe he brought chocolate or something. If Louis knew what just happened he would be devastated just like after the wreck yesterday. It was about 11pm. I jumped when a hand was put on my shoulder. I turned around and saw worried Niall.

"Would it make you feel better if I told you Harry and Zayn left to stay in a hotel?" He said.

Tears stung my eyes. "No..."

"Well, how about if I said we are going skating for a dance off?" he asked.

I sighed, "Unlike you guys, I can't skate, much less dance. All I know how to do is paint, get in trouble, tell lies, play guitar and drums-"

"You play guitar?" I nodded. He smiled and asked, "Real good?"

Shrugging I said, "Usually I just play on the street to get us a few bucks here and there."

"Lou is taking us skating for a dance contest." Niall smiled. "We're always wanting to challenge each other."

"Niall, I can't skate. Much less dance. I'm not like Louis. I don't sing, I don't dance, and I-"

"Mawy!!" I heard a small voice scream. Sean?

I stumbled through my window and threw open my door. Why is Sean home? Wait. Where has Louis been this whole time?! No, no, no. Louis, I told you he was a bad person!! I sprinted down the hall waiting to see Lou is being hurt by him. Instead, I saw Sean running towards me, Louis sitting on the chair, Liam on the floor with a board game, a guy dressed in black and reminded me of a police against the wall, and dad on the couch.

"Mawy!" Sean screamed again and jumped into my arms. I caught him as he gave me a bear hug, almost exactly like Louis'.

Smiling, I said, "Hey, Shawny."

I gave Louis a 'What the hall is going on?' look. He pointed behind me. I turned to see Niall pointing to Liam. I glanced at the short haired boy and he just smiled innocently. Like always, I gave my father a death glare.

He just fake smiled and said, "The kid wanted to come home."

"He has a name." Liam glared at him. Good. At least he's on my side. Louis looked like dad was just another friendly family member. Liam is a smart guy.

"It's okay!" Sean screamed in my ear. "Emmy! Guess what I did!"

I laid Sean on the arm of the couch and said, "How about you and Niall go play a video game?" I smiled. "I bet you can beat him at your Pokemon game!"

"Oh, it's on!" Niall yelled. Sean and Niall ran down the hall. As soon as I hears the door shut I glared at my father. Him just being near my friends makes me so angry. Luckily, if Liam didn't speak up I would have hit him.

He asked, "Now, why don't you explain the real reason you came here?"

"Liam, you don't have-" Louis tried to stop him. I don't care anymore. This bastard has done so many wrong things to me and Lou only knows half of it.

Liam and Louis started arguing over if he was a nice man or not. I heard Niall screaming in defeat of Sean beating him. Dad was trying to get the two boys to stop arguing while the man in black was keeping him away from the boys. At this point I think he's one of the boy's bodyguards. Me being, well, me, I was tired of this.

Liam looked extremely mad because his face had turned beet red. Louis, however, looked terrified like a puppy being yelled at for the first time. Lou has always been a great kid. Why was Liam yelling at him? All of this was making my head spin too much.

The moment I saw Liam lift his fist was the first time I moved since the two boys went to play a game. I shoved Louis out of the way of Liam's fist. Instead of Louis flying back against the window, he was shoved towards the kitchen. I, on the other hand, was hit. Hard. Everything happened so quickly.

Four voices were asking if I was okay. My dad's hand came into view and was moving towards my face. I hit his hand, pushing it away. I glanced at my hand covered in blood and a few pieces of glass. I felt someone put their arms under mine and helped me to my feet. My head was spinning and hurting so much is was a challenge to just keep my eyes open. A body came into view, but it was blurry. From what I could tell, the boy was short and-

"Shawny..." I reached towards my little brother, not wanting him to see me like this. I closed my eyes in defeat over fatigue.

"Is she going to be okay, Paul?"

"Louis, I'm so sorry. I didn't know what came over me."

"Paul, is she okay?!"

"Lou, I'm talking to-"

"Liam, forget it!.......... I'm sorry, mate. I shouldn't have been that harsh."

I groaned, my face in agonizing pain. My mouth felt dry and thick like I had molasses in my mouth. My head felt like someone had beaten me with a hammer. My eyes were glued shut by gravity and pain. Someone put their hand in mine followed by kind words flowing through my ears.

"Sean....Zachary..." I whimpered.

I heard a door slam followed by panting. "Where is Mary?!" Someone screamed. Zack.

Glancing up after finally opening my eyes, I saw Lou was the one holding my bandaged hand. Liam was curled up in the floor crying in Niall's arms. Dad was talking to the man in black who I assume is Paul. Louis told me one of their bodyguards was Paul. I felt safe now. Zack bolted through the door way and froze.

Liam looked up at me. I smiled at him and whispered, "You have a strong punch, Li."

"Mary, why did you do that?" Louis asked.

Zack said, "Everyone out." I frowned. Of course, when I'm hurt I do crazy things. Zachary knew what could happen and so did Sean. Sean? Where is he?!

I tried to sit up, but Zachary stopped me. I looked at him scared. I could tell he was hiding something. He screamed for everyone to get out and everyone scrambled out of my bedroom. Niall glanced at me and mouthed, "I'm sorry."

Zack pulled my face to meet his eyes. I was about to say something, but he stopped me.

"Mom isn't coming back."

A/N: I'm stopping this story for now since my friend and I were both working on it together. She has gone on vacation, so I am going to start another fan fiction soon. Thanks for understanding! C:
