Amelia's POV:

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!" Gracie yelled.

She was sitting at the table, I was sitting opposite and Liam beside Gracie. She was writing an English essay. She had done so well, and in such a short space of time. We were sitting there in silence so Gracie didn't feel alone, that's when she looked up, her eyes had darken and her face had contorted, her eyes peered at me then to her dad, that's when she yelled for him to get away.

The change in her personality was drastic, she just switched. Jumping from her seat she then proceed to hit out at Liam, I panicked and shouted for one of the others to help

"SOMEONE, HELP!" I screamed.

All the lads came running in, they stood at the door watching Liam try and restrained Gracie. I had never heard Gracie curse but while she was hitting Liam she used plenty of profanities

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH, GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOU DICKHEAD, WANKER, LET GO YOU KNOB." She yelled in her dads face.

I walked up behind Gracie trying the help Liam, but it was like she had heighten senses because she spun on her heels and lashed out toward me

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME BITCH." She yelled pushing pass me heading to the living room.

While I was helping Liam from off the floor I heard the lads all shouting

"GRACIE BABY, NO!"

"YOUR GOING TO HURT YOURSELF!"

"PRINCESS, PLEASE DON'T."

"GRACIE NO, STOP!"

"Shhhhh Gracie, come here baby girl. It's okay, no one wants to hurt you."

Running into the living room I was greeted with a mess, Gracie had single handedly destructed the living room, everything was broken, the TV the glass coffee table, the sofa. I couldn't believe one small child could muster up such strength.

Gracie ran around screaming hard profanities at everything and everyone she smashed everything up.
I knew there was something not right, I knew that wasn't the real Gracie. Unable to stop Gracie we stood and watched as continued her rampage.

"This isn't the first time. She just switches." Liam quietly whispered close to my ear.

"It's like she's a different person." Harry added.

"She even looks different. Like her face." Niall said almost in tears.

"It's rather scary. Especially when she starts smashing the place up." Louis added while ducking from the flying plate.

I was expecting Zayn to then say something, but turning to my right where he had previously been standing, he had disappeared. Then all of a sudden loud music boomed throughout the house. I knew the tune well, it was Gracie favourite song of all time, Moments by One Direction. What happened next was astounding.

Gracie's tensed body fell limp and she
dropped to the floor. Zayn rushed to Gracie's side pulling her into his arms and to his chest. Liam knelt beside him and placed kisses to her head, Niall and Harry started to sing over the music, Louis knelt to Zayn's other side and held Gracie's hand. She changed out of the personality as quick as she had changed into it. Standing to the side I watched on, five lads and one girl sat amongst a mass of destruction, it looked like they had been to war. Emotions were high, Liam was unable to cope, breaking down into tears he left the room. I followed him.

"I can't do this. This happened just a few days ago." Liam said through sobs.

"She smashed the house up?" I question confused.

"Yes! This is the second time she's smashed the house up. But- but it's not the first time she has turned against us for nothing." He continued through sobs.

Placing my hands to his shoulders I pulled Liam into hug, god knows he needed it, so did I after what I had witnessed.

"I'm losing my baby. I'm losing Gracie. The Gracie I love." He added muffled by my cardigan.

"Liam I think I know what's wrong with Gracie!" I quietly stated.

"Yo-you do?"

"I read about something like this a few years ago in my studies. I need you to trust me Liam." I soothed rubbing his back.

Harry's POV:

Gracie's rage turned into loud sobs.

"Wh-what happened! Why's m-my hand hurt." She said through sobs.

"Shhhh, you just had a little moment. Don't worry." Zayn cooed.

"It's over now, it's all over love." Louis cooed rubbing Gracie's back who was pressed to Zayn's chest.

"Close your eyes beautiful." he demanded softly.

She closed her eyes and the tears stuck to her lashes rolled off.
He rocked back and fourth lightly humming a tune. A few moments later Gracie raised her head lightly and looked directly into Zayn's eyes. He wiped her tears away.

"Just close your eyes baby, just close your eyes." He cooed.

"You'll feel better." Louis added softly.

She gently nodded and Zayn placed a kiss to her forehead lightly before hushing and standing to his feet.

Gracie's tiny hands gripped onto Zayn's t-shirt and fisted it. She continued to cry quietly.

"It's all okay baby girl, it's all okay." He hushed as Gracie cried into his chest.

Zayn's POV:

I slowly walked towards the stairs hushing Gracie the whole time. I could feel Gracie's heart beat slow down as her eyes fluttered closed.

The motion as I climbed the stairs disturbed Gracie, causing her little face to scrunch up and a little sniffle escape. I tightened my arms around Gracie back, pressing her closer to my chest. Her tiny legs hung at my waist.

"Go back to sleep." I said softly.

"We're just taking you to bed." Harry softly said walking behind me.

Gracie groaned a little in the back of her throat and then pushed her face firmer into me.

She still slightly jostled awake as I lay her down on the soft pillows.

Smoothing the hair out of her face Harry grabbed Gracie's comforter and Niall closed the blinds. As I lay the comforter over her tiny body her little eyes fluttered opened again. Niall practically pushed me out the way and kissed each one of Gracie's eyes.

"Close your eyes Princess." Niall whispered.

As he pulled away to leave the room Gracie grabbed his hand

"Don't leave me. Please." She pleaded quietly.

"I'll stay with you." We all said in unison.

"Someone's popular." Harry laughed quietly.

Removing our wallets, phones, and keys out off our pockets we all climbed onto the bed. I was facing Gracie, with Harry behind me, on the back of Gracie lay Niall with Louis behind him. We quietly in time hummed the tune to moments. Gracie shuffled close into my chest asking Niall to move closer. Feeling safe and comfortable she fell asleep.
