Chapter 18

Louis' view

"Sidney, its time to get up and get ready for schoooool" I yelled walking down the hall to her room. But when I looked inside she wasn't there.

"Sidney??" I called turning around to look down the hall. Zayn's door opened and he came out quietly shutting the door behind him. "Where's Sidney?" I quickly asked getting worried.

"She's in my room she's fine. But we need to talk..." Zayn drifted off looking at me with serious eyes.

Once we gathered up all the lads we sat on the couch and waited to hear what Zayn had to say. While Sidney was still asleep in his room.

~•~

"..Sidney's been getting bullied at school?!" I was unsure if I could understand what Zayn was trying to explain to us. He nodded looking at the ground as did the rest of us.

"Why???" Niall asked tears in his eyes.

"I don't know, kids are sick these days..." Zayn answered shaking his head.

"They sure are!" Harry added furious that this was happening.

"Why didn't she tell us? I talked to her and she lied to me, saying that she would tell me if this happened. She told me she would TELL me, and she DIDN'T!!" I was getting mad as I stood to my feet, running my hand through my hair. "Why didn't she tell me?!"

After I said it again there was a creak on the stairs. All our heads turned toward the stairs. And there stood Sidney-still in her pjs as she had one hand on the railing, standing there. She must have heard everything, by the look on her face; guilt.

"I didn't want you guys to worry..." She finally said, her head dropping to look at the wood flooring.

I sighed heavily "But Sidney, I told you to tell me. No matter what!" My voice came out strained.

"I know..." Her voice was becoming small. "And I lied to you, I'm sorry"

"But Liam found out, then I told Zayn and I was hoping it would just stop-"

"Wait Liam you knew?!" I asked eyeing Liam, he nodded. "Why didn't you tell me?" I felt betrayed.

"She begged me not too and I thought it had stopped a while ago" he tried defending his side.

"Wait, Sidney, how long has this been going on for?" I asked turning back around to face her.

"Since school started..." She muttered, my mouth dropped open in shock.

"Why the hell didn't anyone tell me! I could have helped, I could have done something! Your friend Julius- might

not have been in the hospital right now! None of this would have happened if someone just would have told me!" I was yelling now and just couldn't control my anger. "I don't understand why it's so hard Sidney! Just use your words and then we can help you!"

"Lou, calm down." Harry told me as he put his hand on my shoulder. I quickly pushed him away.

"No! I will not calm down!" I shouted in his face.

"Louis you face is red, stop yelling!" Liam said sternly stepping toward me.

"No!" I could feel my blood boiling inside if me. "If Zayn wouldn't have told me, it could have gone worse, way worse then what happened to Julius!" I started pacing back and forth before looking at her again. "Sidney, now please enlighten me with your brilliant idea to get the bullying to stop on your own, without any of our help!"
