Adopted

The lads and I have been waiting for about 3 minutes after I got off the phone with Jake. We were just sitting on the chairs when the sliding doors opened, and, I reckon, a 14 year old boy.

He has red, puffy eyes, tear-stained cheeks, and it looks like he has been crying, so I walked up to him.

"Hey, mate, you alright?" I asked him.

"Yeah, I'm alright. Your Louis Tomlinson, right? Rosily's adopted dad?" The boy asked, sniffling.

"Yeah. Are you Jake?" I asked, wiping some tears off my face.

"Yeah. Any update on Rosily?" Jake asked, also wiping tears off his face.

"No, not yet. Would you like to come and sit with the lads and I?"

"Sure." I led Jake over to where we were sitting.

"Do you know where Rosily went after she left the house?'' I asked jake after we sat down.

"Yeah. She rung me and asked if I wanted to meet her at the skatepark, so I agreed. We rode around for a little whilst, and then we sat down behind a tree and talked. We talked about you and the lads and I asked her how she felt being the daughter of a famous boyband, and she had no idea what I was talking about, so I explained how you and the lads are in a famous boyband. I didn't tell her what the band was called because before I could, she had tears spilling out of her eyes." Jake explained, wiping tears off his cheeks. "She looked like she was betrayed. I never saw that look in her eyes before. I asked her if she wanted me to take her back to your flat, and she said she was going to take a little ride around on her skateboard and think before she went back to the flat. She told me to go home and she said she would message me when she got back to the flat. After about 3 hours, I started getting worried, so I started to message and ring her but she didn't answer."

"We went looking for her, so we decided to look at the mall. All these fans were surrounding us so we started to go back to the car. We Rosily ride into the car park on her skateboard, but she saw all the fans so she turned around. I started yelling her name. She turned her head around, but as soon as she saw me, she turned around and rode off as fast as she could. The lads and I tried to go after her, but we got stuck in the car park with all these screaming girls around us." I said, bursting out crying.

About three hours later, a doctor walked into the waiting room.

"Louis Tomlinson?" The doctor said.

My head shot up. "Yes?" I said, looking at the doctor.

"Are you Rosily Tomlinson's dad?" The doctor asked, walking up to me.

"Yeah. Is she alright?" I asked, brushing away the tears off my cheeks.

"She should be okay. Right now she's in a coma, but she should wake up soon. When the truck hit her, she hit her head hard enough to put her in a coma. Would you like to come see her?"

"Yes, please. Can the lads come to?" I asked, pointing at jake, Niall, Liam, and Harry.

"'Course. Now follow me lads."

We started walking down the corridor, until we got to room 619. When we walked in, Rosily had bruises and cuts all over her face and arms and also a breathing tube.
