Chapter 9

Grace's view

"It's ok Grace, your not leaving. We won't let that happen!" Liam spoke picking me up and setting me in his lap on his bed, the boys stood around us.

"But you said-"

"I know what I said, it wasn't meant for you to hear. I thought I was talking to Louis." He stated looking to Lou then back at me.

"And my Dad-old Dad?" I asked looking at Liam.

I really don't want to see or hear from my old dad again. He was mean and treated me bad-he would always yelling at me and hurt me. I don't like him at all!

Liam sighed looking at all the boys, because they had confused faces on.

"Liam, what about her old Dad?" Zayn questioned serious in his voice. Liam shook his head.

"Simon called me this morning saying that Grace's old Dad wants to look for her when he gets out of jail." I cringed at the thought and leaned into Liam's chest. "Simon told me that we need to keep an careful eye on her or she will be sent to the states to live in a orphanage. Because she needs to be stay safe."

"But he's in jail now, so when is he supposed to get out?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"I don't know, but apparently he's been having good behavior so they think he will be out sooner than he's supposed to." Liam answered rubbing my back.

"How long have you known about this?" Louis asked eyeing Liam. Liam loudly sighed.

"A few days ago, but Simon made it very clear this morning that Kenny wants Grace when he's out."

"We are not going to let it ruin our day, are we?" Harry asked bouncing me on his knees.

"Nope!" I grinned.

After the mood died down about my dad we tried to forget about it and just have a fun day.

"Good!" Zayn stood up, hands ready to attack. Then he started tickling me along with Harry, I squirmed and giggled my heart out. I actually think it fell out and is now hiding under the coffee table.

"Zayn!" *Giggle* "Harry!" *Giggle* "Stop hahaha!" I wiggled as I giggled and they just laughed, grins apparent on their faces'.

"I'll save you Gracie!" Niall yelled running in and nudging his way to grab me. He picked me up and ran around the house, Harry and Zayn hot on our trail.

"Whats going on?" Liam shouted as we ran by him.

"Niall's a hero!" I yelled back as Niall ran in the backyard, losing Zayn and Harry. He ran around the corner hiding beside a bush. He put his index finger up to his mouth as we heard Harry and Zayn chit chatting about where we were. I nodded cupping my hands over my mouth to subside my laughter.

"We're gonna find ya!" Harry said searching around.

"You can run but you can't hide" Zayn jokingly said. They searched around the backyard looking everywhere but where we were.

"Zayn, I don't think they are out here" Harry said shrugging as he looked at his lad.

"Maybe there went back inside" Zayn suggested, they both laughed and went back inside. Once hearing the door slide close I let my laughter out and so did Niall.

"Hahaha they are so dumb" we joked laughing our heads off.

"Yeah" Niall chuckled.
