-Josh's Pov-

Everything seemed to be crumbling around me. It started a long while ago after my aunt began taking after horrible habits of drinking when I was nearly 7.

At first, my family thought it would be a simple problem and solution, but it is an addiction, and addiction isn't an easy thing to get rid of.

But it turned into years of picking my aunt up at the bar and explaining to her children that she was having a bad time almost every single night.

Then the drugs became part of her addiction. Countless times we found small containers in her purse, and it would look like a rainbow inside with the variety.

Days like today are the only good things I have, when the day is spent in slience.

I unlocked the door to the Sidemen house and threw my backpack to the ground and went back out.

I pulled my phone and earphones out, but it was in a tangled mess as always.

After a few seconds, the wire untangled itself, and I plugged the ends in my ears and hit play on Spotify.

Music from JJ's EP started before I skipped it to something that didn't make my eardrums bleed. (SORRY I WANTED TO ADD THAT, BUT THAT IS JOSH. BLAME HIM. tbh to me, his EP is actually really good. Smoke N Mirrors is lit)

The streets seemed fairly calm today, the normal London rush seemed to dimmed itself a bit.

I took the normal path, making my way through downtown London, since that is where I usually had to pick up my aunt ever since I turned 18.

After being at the park with Caroline again, the day was starting to settle, and night was about to make an appearance.

I keep my head straight, and focused to the tune of the song as I made my way.

~~~

I showed the people my ID, proving that I was an 18 year old.

My eyes searched through the crowd for her, but the bartender pulled me to the side.

"Hey Zerker! Your aunt didn't come here today. She is probably drinking at her boyfriend's place for the night." Tommy told me as he cleaned out a glass.

I nodded. "Well, thanks for the heads up. I guess I will be going then." I said, patting the bar table.

"Do you want a drink before you leave? You never take up my offers."

"I don't drink. That's why." I said, turning away and headed out the door.

The streets were dark now, and I heard trouble near me as a muffled scream filled a nearby alley.

I looked for the source, and I saw three guys and a blonde.

One guy searching through the girl's bag, stood up. "What do you think your doing punk?" He whispered, shoving me away.

"Making sure dickheads like you don't pick one innocent girls." I said before I punched him, knocking him out.

I laughed a bit, feeling accomplished with a one shot, until I felt someone grip onto my shoulder, making me face them.

One of the other guys threw a punch, but I ducked it before it could hit me.

"Missed me, missed me, now you got to kiss me." I mocked.

The mocking only seemed to make him more angry. He punched me right in the stomach, causing me to grunt in pain.

"Gotcha." He smirked, putting his fist up.

I breathed in, and threw a punch at his stomach, but he blocked it with his arm.

With my other hand, I threw a punch at his face as he was distracted. "Dammit." He yelled out in pain.

I punched him three more times, until I threw out of his legs from beneath him, and knocked him out.

I looked around and saw the blonde shove the guy to the ground, but he pulled her down with her.

With a quick reflex, I kicked the guy in the head like a football, leaving him unconscious.

I looked at the blonde, who's face was tilted to the concrete. I turned her, and looked at the face.

I stood, speechless. "Faith?" I whispered.

She didn't respond. I pushed some of her hair away, and called her name out again. "Faith?"

I pressed to fingers against her neck, checking for a pulse, and breathed in with relief to feel it. "Thank goodness you are alive."

I scanned her for any scratches or bruises, but nothing was new except for the ones William gave her.

I laid her down flat, straightening her legs and arms out as I put all of her stuff back in her bag before throwing it on my back.

Then, I picked off the ground, having her face nuzzle into my chest and lightly breathing.

I looked around for a possible place to take her, but my mind was too confused.

My steps lead me to the Sidemen house, all the lights on, since everyone enjoyed staying up late, especially when everyone needed to record.

I laided her down gently so I could unlock the door, and the raging of everyone filled the entire house.

I sighed, and picked her back up, and kicked the door shut behind me, and threw her back to the ground.

I stayed quiet knowing everyone would question why I have Faith with me, especially after yesterday's incident.

Everyone's doors were shut, which meant I could make a safe journey without getting caught.

I made my way to my room, and turned on the lights to my horribly messy room.

"Guess this will have to do, innit?" I asked myself.

I nodded slightly. "Well, I will check up on you whenever you wake up Faith. I am just glad I got there before anything bad happened to you."

I kept replaying it, seeing those guys pin her and grind up against her gave me shivers.

Removing my junk from my bed, I laid Faith down in it, and tucked her in.

"Well, goodnight Faith." I whispered in her ear gently, and walked out the door to sleep on the couch.

÷Author's Note÷

I TOLD YOU EVERY OTHER DAY. IT IS STILL HAD TIME TO COMPLETE THE IMPOSSIBLE.

But seriously tho. Most of you were correct, and others had some really nice guesses like Tobi. (Which would have been amazing to have, but it is too late now.)

It was kinda obvious tho.

Well if you guys did enjoy, leave me some feedback and see ya!
