When I got to the kitchen, I saw Nando's sitting on the table and everyone waiting for me to come down.

I hopped on the stool and started eating. Dad and Uncle Liam were talking about something, but I just blocked them out until Dad started to talk to me.

"Rosily, would you like to start school next week?" Dad asked. When he said that, all the memories came flooding back into my mind. The bullying, abusing, no friends, everything. I didn't realise I was crying until Uncle Niall, who was sitting next to me, wiped off the tears from my cheeks. Dad, Uncle Harry, Uncle Liam, and Uncle Niall all had had worried faces. I didn't want them to see my cry, so I ran away from the table.

I didn't go into my room because I knew they would look for me their. I found this door, which I had no idea what it lead to, and ran into it. I closed the door softly behind me and looked around. There was steps going down, so I assumed it was the basement.

As I walked down the steps, I realised it wasn't so much a basement, but a game room. There were so many good hiding places, so they would have a hard time finding me.

There was a little hole under the steps so I decided to hide there.

"Should we go look for her?" I asked no one in particular. Niall and Harry nodded, but Liam shook his head.

"I reckon we give her some time," Liam said, shrugging.

"But I reckon we should at least go check on her to make sure she's okay." Harry said, and we nodded. I hope she's not doing anything. "Lets go check her room."

We started walking to Rosily's door. We didn't knock because I reckon she can't hear us.

We start walking up the steps, and we don't hear sniffling or soft whimpers. It's completely quiet.

When we get to the top of the stairs, her room is empty. We check her loo, and it's also empty. Her cupboard, and its empty. She's not in here.

"Lads, where do you reckon she is?" I ask them, and they just shrug.

I've been here for a little whilst, and I've just been crying. I don't want to go to school. I don't want to get bullied again. I'm going to do the one thing that actually makes me happy.

I quietly went up the stairs and made sure the lads weren't near. I picked up my skateboard and quickly wrote a note:

I'll be back, don't worry.
-Rosily x

I put the note on the table and quietly but quickly went out the door.

Once I got outside, I ran down the steps and onto the sidewalk.

I started to skateboard down the sidewalk. I was going to the skate park, so I decided to ring Jake fand ask him if he wanted to meet me there.

jake: Hi Rosily!

Rosily: Hi Jake. So I was wondering if you wanted to meet me at the skate park?

Jake: Sure! But why are you going to the skate park at half eight?

Rosily: I don't know. My new 'family' wants me to go to school, so I took my skateboard and left. I don't know where they were when I left though.

Jake: Did you at least leave a note?

Rosily: Yeah, but I didn't tell them where I was going so they can't find me.

Jake: Okay, I'll be at the skate park in a few minutes. Bye.

Rosily: Bye.

I hung up after that. I didn't realise I was already at the skate park. I sat down behind a tree on my skate board, and started thinking about school. I really didn't look forward to getting bullied again.

I flinched when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I got scared 'cause I thought it was one of the lads, but it was just Jake.

We started skateboarding around and talked about school and the lads. Jake said it was cool that I was the daughter of a famous boyband, but I had had no clue what he was talking about. Are the lads famous....?
