The New Girl of One Direction

Chapter 9

MADDIE'S POV:

Is this really happening? Me, Maddie Smith, is dating Niall Horan, from One Direction. I just can't process this. You might be thinking, wow she only like him because he's a star, but no, I didn't fall in love, well I think love, With the superstar Niall Horan. I fell in love with the sweet, caring, and sometime cheeky Niall Horan.

At the moment we were walking back to our hotel room hand in hand. We were talking about random things and laughing. Just enjoying each others company when we reached the hotel room door. That's when Niall stops us. "Do you want to tell everyone about us?" He asks.

"I do, yeah. But just the boys and Sydney. Not the world, yet. I want to see where this goes before we go telling the world." I say.

"I was thinking the same thing." He says, relief in his eyes. I take a deep breath. "You ready?" I ask. "Yup." Niall opens the door, and we call for everyone to have a seat in the couch. "We have something to tell you guys." Niall announces. "Are you pregnant?" Louis asks. "No!" I say, and Louis raises his hands in defense. "What we wanted to tell you is that, Niall and I are now dating." I say grabbing Niall's hand.

"We all saw that coming." Sydney blurts out. Everyone agrees with her. "Whatever!" I say. "No, she right. We all saw it coming, and I've only been here for a few hours." Ed adds. They all crack up, including Niall and I. Then Sydney's phone goes off, and she gets up to answer it. 'Probably just her mom.' I think. We were all in the middle of a game or truth or dare when Sydney shuffles back into the room, her phone hanging loosely in her hand.

"You ok Syd?" I ask. Sydney then drops to her knees, sobbing. Harry is the first to react, rushing over and pulling her into a hug. "Shh..shh. Sydney, you need to tell us whats wrong."

SYDNEY'S POV:

"Shh..shh. Sydney, you need to tell us whats wrong." Harry says, rubbing circles on my back. "S-she's gone!" I say, sobs taking over my body. "Who Sydney?" Maddie asks. "Mom." It is silent in the room, except for my sobs. After about 10 minutes, I had calmed down enough to talk. I explained to everyone that my dad was released from prison. He then hinted down my mom, and confronted her with a gun. He wanted to know where I was, but my mom convinced him I was dead. After hearing that, my dad then shot my mom, and then himself. I break down once again, my shoulders shaking.

"Im leaving tomorrow for the funeral, and I will be back a week after that. That's all the time management would allow."

"Im coming with you." Maddie says, getting up to pack. "Me too." Harry and Niall say at the same time. "So are we." Louis says, motioning towards him, Liam and Zayn.

"Listen, I better leave you guys alone. Sydney," Ed says, coming up and hugging me, "let me know when the funeral is, I will make sure to be there. Im so sorry." "Thank you." I say quietly. He says goodbye to everyone and Harry walked him out. When he returned, he led me into our room to begin packing. I could hear the other boys and Maddie doing the same. I just sat on my bed, silent tears rolling down my face, and every now and then a whimper would escape my mouth.

"Harry, what about your shows?" I say weakly.

"I called management. You were zoned out." "Oh." Is all I could say.

"Come on Sydney, lets go to bed. It's late." Harry then tucks me in. "Im not a child Haz."

"I know."

"H-harry?"

"Yeah?"

"Will you stay with me tonight?"

"Of course." Harry says, climbing under the covers with me. As soon as he does, I cling to his chest. He wraps his arms around me, our legs tangled together. "Sing to me?" I ask. Harry starts singing 'Please Don't Let Me Go', the song he wrote. I fell asleep silently crying, listening to Harry's raspy voice.

*~THE NEXT MORNING~*

SYDNEY'S POV:

I woke up with a pair of strong arms around me. Harry. I was happy for just that one moment, then it all came crashing down on me. Mom, dead. Father killed her. Sobs erupt from my throat, startling Harry awake. "Sydney?! Sydney calm down. It's ok. It's all going to be are right." He says, running his long fingers down my spine, causing me to shiver. "She's gone Harry. Forever. What am I going to do?!"

"Look at me Sydney." I slowly look up at Harry. "We will be here for you, all of us."

"But what if I was there, ten maybe she could still be alive. What if there was something I could of done..."

Harry then softly grabs my chin, tilting my face toward him. "It wasn't your fault Sydney. If you had been there, he might have taken you too! I can't live without you Sydney." He says, a tear running down his cheek. I lean up and kiss away his tear, then slowly move towards his lips. We're millimeters apart, and I close the gap. The kiss was salty with tears, but we didn't care. I leaned back, looking into Harry's eyes. "I love you." He says softly. "I love you too."

"We need to get going. The flight leaves in 2 hours." I hear Maddie say from outside the door. "Coming." Harry yells back. "Lets get going."

I quickly shower, shedding a few tears in the process. Then I tie my hair in a messy bun, and brush my teeth. No makeup today, then I put on sweats an a tee shirt. I walk out of the bathroom to put on shoes while Harry does his stuff in the bathroom. I sit and wait for Harry. When he walks out and slips his shoes on we leave our room and walk into the living area of our suite. Everyone is waiting, and I walk up to Maddie, who looked as bad as me, and hugged her. "You ready?" She asks. "Yeah." I walk over to Harry, take his hand, while the other holds my suitcase. Harry's other hand also holding his suitcase. Maddie and Niall were doing the same. We all walk out of the hotel, and into a private vehicle heading to the airport.
