Recap:

Zayn sees the girls. 

Zayn's POV

"Do you guys want an autograph or something? I'll sign that restraining order I'm about to file." I growl at the girls. I grab a phone, and start dialling Liam's phone. 

The girls just stood there. The small, blonde one was tearing up, and the bigger, brunette was holding the younger one's hand. I held the phone to my ear, refusing to feel mercy. 

"No." One of them whispered. "Please don't make us go back." She whispered again. I got a closer look at the girls. They had dirt all over their faces, ripped and tattered clothes, no shoes, and matted hair. I hung up the phone. 

"Back where?" I asked. "Come, girls sit down." They looked at me cautiously, but did as told. "Are you guys thirsty? Oh gosh. What's wrong with your arm?" I asked the younger one. "First, what's your names?" 

The big one spoke. 

"I'm Paige. This is Maddison. Call her Maddie." She said. 

"I'm Zayn Malik. I bet you knew that though." I mumbled the last part. 

"No... We don't know who you are." Maddie said.

I was surprised. "Part of the a world famous boyband? One Direction?" I asked. 

They shook there heads. 

"It's not important. Why are you guys here then?" I asked, once again.

"It's not important." Maddie mimicked me. 

"Where are your parents?" I asked, getting frusterated.

"It's not important." Paige said, a small grin spreading across their faces. 

All of a sudden, the door burst open. 

"Zaynie-Poo! We're ho-ome!" Louis called out. They walked into the living room. 

"Zayn?" Niall asked.

"Yeah?" I responded.

"Who's your friends?" He asked, innocently. 

"Oh! Sorry. This is Paige, and this in Maddie." I said, gesturing to the girls. The nodded at the boys. 

"Meeting, boys." Liam said ushering us all into the kitchen. 

"Girls, don't go anywhere." I told the girls, and went into the kitchen.

Paige's POV

"Mad?" I asked quietly. "Are you ok?" I whispered. 

"Yeah." She said, equally quiet. "Pay? What do you think Mommy would say?" She asked. 

"I don't know, Boo. I think she'd tell us to stay strong, but make sure your arm is okay." I answered. We sat silently. Maddie started silently crying. The boys came back into the room.

Baldy was really angry. 

"Girls?" Zayn said softly. "This is Liam, Louis, Niall, and Harry." 

So Liam is baldy, Niall is blondie, Harry is curly, Zayn is Zayn, and Louis is the last one, by process of elimination. Sounds simple. 

Maddie wiped her tears. 

Everyone just sat there looking at eachother for a while. 

"So..." Maddie started, trying to break the ice.

"OH MY GOSH!!! I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE TWO RANDOM GIRLS FROM THE STREETS WERE HIDING IN OUR HOME. WE SHOULD CALL THE POLICE? WHO ARE YOUR PAENTS!??!!?" Liam suddenly screamed. Now Maddie was bawling (A/N: I know Liam wouldn't really do this, but for the story's sake) 

"WE DON'T HAVE PARENTS!" Maddie screamed, back. This was totally surprising, and out of character. She kept going. "THEY DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT!!! WE WERE SENT TO LIVE WITH OUR ABUSIVE AUNT AND UNCLE!!! WE RAN AWAY! WE ALSO RAN AWAY FROM THE ORPHANAGE! WE'VE BEEN LIVING ON THE STREETS!!! I AM, FOR PETE'S  SAKE, ONLY 9 YEARS OLD!!! YOU THINK YOUR LIFE IS HARD? TRAVELING EVERYWHERE? NEVER SEEING YOUR FAMILY? WE DON'T HAVE FAMILY. WE ONLY HAVE EACHOTHER! AND YOUR SO CRUEL AND HEARTLESS, YOU YELL AT CHILDREN? I HAVE'NT SEEN MY MOM OR DAD IN 2 YEARS! MY ONLY RELATIVES BEAT US! YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU! I DON'T REMEMBER EXPERIANCING LOVE! OF COURSE I HAVE PAIGE, AND SHE HAS ME, BUT WE'RE ALONE." She finished her speech, and ran away, closing a random door behind her. 

"You guys have to make this right." I whispered, before going to find her. 

Maddie's POV

My arm is throbbing. I just yelled at Liam, but all I can think about is my throbbing arm. I looked at the pictures on the wall. Louis's room. I found an old scrapbook on the desk. I figured he wouldn't care, and I crawled into his bed, crying myself to  sleep. 

~1 hour later~

I woke up with all the boys and Paige sitting on the bed next to me. Waiting for me to be awake. 

"Mads! You're awake!" Paige yelled, and hugged me. 

"Everyone out. Except Paigey." I ordered. The boys left. We looked at eachother for a minute. There was an unopened water bottle on the desk. I went and got it, accidentally knocking over the scrapbook. It fell open to a page with a few pictures, of all to familiar faces. 

"Pay, come." I said, forgetting about my arm. I grabbed the book, and brought it into the living room, where the boys were.

"Louis? Who are the people in these pictures?" I asked, pointing at some pictures. 

"Well, this one is a picture of my parents and some family friends. Actually, a few years ago, the parents died in a car accident." He looked sad. "And this one is of there two daughters, me, and my sisters playing. I don't know what happened to the girls..." His voice trailed off. 

Paige's eyes widened. She understood. 

"Lou?" I asked, scaredly.

"Mmm?" He answered.

"Lou... Those girls are Paige and me. Those family friends? They are our parents." I said quietly. Tears formed in his eyes.

"Paige?" He asked. She nodded. 

Zayn cut in. 

"I hate to break up this little pow-wow, but Maddie? Your arm is all fat and swollen."

"Oh yeah..." I muttered. "Do you have ice?" I asked.

"Forget about ice, you need to go to the hospital!" Harry cried.

"No... Hospitals... Please... No!!!" I started hyperventilating. 

"Maddie, you have to!" Niall cut in.

"Paige! Please don't let them take me!" I screamed. 'Pay! Pay! Pay Paigey! Paige! PAIGE!" I screamed, before my world was overcome by darkness.

It's a bit short, but lots of things happen!
