I Laid in my room cuddled into my blankets. It was two in the morning and I couldn't sleep and I was just thinking about Luke. I was thinking about whether or not he had already sat next to someone on the plane that he thought was hot.

I kept refreshing my snap chat to see if they posted anything on their stories. Michael posted something on the plane. It was a picture of him and the boys, and it was captioned "Hey were taking on the world".

After a while I just decide to search things up on YouTube, and everything ended in me watching their covers. I didn't understand how someone could sound so angelic, but Luke pulled it off. Luke said he thought my voice was good, so what would happen if I posted a cover on YouTube myself?

I checked the time, and it was 5 in the morning. They should have been off the plane for a half an hour now. I went and checked my snap chat again and Mike sent me a text.

MiChEaL: Hey we got off the plane and we're okay, but Luke's passed out so I know you'd want to know he's okay...

Me: Thanks Mikey you're the best

MiChEaL: Not a problem btw facetime, and iMessage isn't working so he'll most likely text you off here or something else that you use or something.

Me: okay tell me to message me on kik

MiChEaL: okay

MiChEaL: It's so cold here and I'm not used to it.... Like they have way more snow, and it's close to zero degrees here.

Me: omg that's fucking cold!

MiChEaL: yea ikr anyway how's mom and dad, are they fighting more now that I'm gone...

Me: no the entire ride home was silent, and then the whole house was silent to the point where you could legit here a pin drop...

MiChEaL: wow....

Me: yea

MiChEaL: well if anything happens and you can't take their fighting anymore make sure you text or call me and I can find a way to help okay? I'm always going to be here for you okay?

Me: thanxs mickey it means a lot I love you

MiChEaL: I love you too now get back to bed it's only 6 in the morning where you are and I know you haven't slept yet...

Me: alright goodnight

MiChEaL: Goodnight

With that bit of reassurance I could finally close my eyes and drift off into sleep..

When I woke up my phone kept buzzing, and so I turned from my stomach to my side to see what all the hype was about. As I turned my lock screen on I saw a bunch of snap chats from the boys.  I was half curious to see what they were so impatient to talk to me about, but I was also half scared as to what the pictures and videos contained.

As I opened my snap chat I quickly opened the first one from Luke. It was a picture of him and he captioned it "Good morning babe 😘". Next there was a video of Calum an Mike in the snow. You cold hear Ashton's laugh clearly in the back ground.

Next, I opened Michael's video, and it was of Luke and Calum in the snow, and shortly after that there was video of Luke and Ashton playing in the snow. It must've been at their house in London because it was clearly a backyard.

I sent them all back a snap back. Most of them I captioned with the laughing emoji, like always. I just told Luke I missed him already, and as soon as it sent it started again.

"Why are so lazy!" my mom yelled.

"I'm not lazy," Mr.Clifford yelled back. "I work my ass off for this family everyday. I try to save that computer shop everyday, and I still continue to struggle more now that Michael's gone!"

"Really?"

"Yea and while were at it why don't point out how to I always come home to this house looking like crap?!" he yelled at her.

I didn't want to get in the middle, but my feet decided now of all times to have a mind of their own. I was kind of annoyed at the fact that they ruined my morning. I was at the corner of the kitchen looking at Mr.Clifford he had his hand raised like he was about to hit my mother. I ran and blocked it before he could even have a chance to hit her. A sharp pain was sent straight through my cheek, and if I'm going to be honest I felt nausea afterwards.

"Look what you did Daryl!" My mom screamed at him protecting me from him.

"So she could use some sense no-a-days," he said. "Maybe she'll take a hint and start to clean the house."

I was supposed to not go to school today, but now I'm not so sure I wanna stay home. This man was making me mad beyond compare. I stood up pushing past my mom.

"You shouldn't stereotype women to clean and cook," I spat at him. "Women can have lives to."

"You wanna talk back again and you'll get even worse than last time,"

"I'd like to see you try bastard," I growled. I immediately regretted my actions because he stormed over to me and grabbed my wrist. My heart dropped finally realizing what I had just gotten myself into. He dragged me to the front door, and he through me through the front door. I stumbled down onto the stone stairs we had. I saw him slam the door shut, and I just stared out regretting everything I did.

I guess it was a good thing I put my phone in my bra. I took it out, and instantly noticed a text from my mom.

Mothership: I'll make you a bag and leave it by the front door I need to figure things out for now so please bare with me... I'm trying to get myself out of here.

Me: okay I understand could you just make sure to put my phone charger in there, and Luke's shirt that's on my bed post. Also, could you by any chance give me some money in there to get me by.

Mom: Yea I promise I'm going to figure things out...

I waited sitting in on our porch for what felt like forever before the door opened up. I saw my mom standing there with a bag, a coat, and a pair of shoes. The bag was pretty big, and I was thankful that she had put it together for me.

"Don't you dare let that no good of a step daughter into my house or I swear I'll kill you," I heard Mr.Clifford yell at my dad.

"Bye," I said and I immediately put my shoes on, and swung the bag on my back with the straps sliding onto my shoulders.

I walked until I had reached our local community park. I walked into the building, and immediately looked for the bathroom. I needed to change. Desperately.

I opened the backpack looking bag to find two pairs of jeans, and a couple shirts. Luke's was on the top. I also found $1000 in cash. She must've stole it from my step dad. I was surprised at the amount there.

As soon as I was changed I packed my bag up again, and I made my way back out of the place. I headed towards the grocery store across the street. I got as cheap food as I could for today. I Guess I was going to have to get used to a lot now.
