Lily's pov.
I pulled in my driveway and I could tell that no one was home because my little sister is at her friends tonight and obviously my father is still at the bar.
My mother passed away 4 years ago and its been quite tough on us. My father hasn't been the same ever since. Grace doesn't really remember her which I don't find fair.
As I walked upstairs to practice my covers 'run away he want know where you go' a voice inside keeps telling me. 'I can't lose both of them' i always reply with.
I heard the door creep open and i knew it was him, my father. "Lily get down here now!" He yells. I knew what he was going to do as I slowly walked back down the stairs.
All I heard was a thump and I was on the ground. After that a few more punches and I was out cold. 'Your own father knocked you out told you to do a runner' shhh you aren't helping.

'There she was happy and cheerful, she is such a beautiful girl' i think to myself as she opens the car door to give me a hug and waves her friend goodbye.
All we talked about was how fun the sleep over was and that she wants to have a sleep over party at our house, but I could only reply with a 'maybe' because I didn't want to have to explain why a 7 year olds dad is abusive, and I didn't want to lie to her.
What will he do to Grace when she is my age 'take her with you Leave him he won't find you he won't even bother looking'.
As i opened Graces door for her, because I had child lock on it, I saw him and as I grabbed graces hand i swear the world stopped and my heart skipped a beat. As he turned around our eyes met and i think I just died because his smile grew so much bigger when he saw me, but I'm scared of men they can look so sweet, but they can turn at any moment into you worst nightmare.
"Can have $3 to get something out of the vending machine I'm starving over here!" She says with a hit of sarcasim "sure but dont spend it all " I say in a playful tone and winked which only made her giggle.
I stood at the front desk playing on my iPhone as i heard mumbles come from the door as my head slowly looked up as i paused the game. Of corse i recognised his voice, wait what is he doing, why is he walking towards me.
"Hi my name is Niall Horan I'm 19 years of age and I'm from Mullingar, Ireland." He says waiting for a reply. "Hi my name is Lily William, I'm 19 years of age and I'm from Sydney, Australia." I reply.
His hand is raising my first reaction was to duck. "I'm so sorry i didn't mean to scare you, are you okay, I just wanted to shake your hand, I'm so sor..." I cut him off " I'm fine i just dropped something" I say seeing the guilt in his eyes. 'Just wanted to shake your hand, but know you ducked wow you probably just ruined any chance with him you idiot' god i think I might be right for once.
Nialls pov.
She is scared of me, what did i do I feel so bad i told Louis that i would meet him up in the room but I just wanted to get to know lily a little bit more i know she said she 'dropped something' but I saw the fear in hear eyes and i knew she was scared at that moment.
She reached her hand out for me to shake it which I did, her hand felt so small and delicate, but it also felt like it just fits there, like she belongs in it. It probably sounds cheesy but that's what it really feels like.
I slowly walk up to my rooms, a bit down and I'm sure Louis will notice it. Why is she scared of me? Is it because I bumped into her yesterday? I did apologies for that right? Oh god I don't think I did.
"What's up nialler" Louis trying to cheer me up a bit. What happened? You okay mate? "She's scared of me" I reply, "why what did you do" he says "I don't know" I tell him showing him how confused I am my self. "Maybe she just had a bad break-up" he said trying to convice me that it wasn't my fault. "Yeah maybe" is all i could get out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A walked down stairs to see her there at the front desk on her iPhone. She is so beautiful i try not to startle her so i start to whistle but then I see a little girl running to her yelling her name "lily, Lily, Lily, lily" reaptively "what's up" she says still with her eyes glued to the phone "I need money" the little girl replies "why do you need money Grace"lily says "because in the shop they have a teddy and I really want it!! Please please please" grace replies "how many times do I have to tell you we own the hotel it's free" lily tells her wait what they own this hotel! Cool.
"Hahhah I keep forgetting" grace says as lily pickes her up and throws her up into the air as grace started to laugh. 'She would be a great mother wouldn't she' i voice in my head says 'what if that is her kid, they look so alike' no she couldn't of had a child could she?
