The game - A one direction fan fiction

Chapter 8

***

The police officer gave the girl that was standing right next to him a weak smile, attempting to comfort her in this situation, even though that was nearly impossible, as he rang the bell of a small house in the middle of the night.

The sound of footsteps walking down the stairs started to come closer and closer.

“Who is this?!” The voice of an old lady echoed through the little girls head as the sound of footsteps stopped.

“It’s the police! Please open up your door!” The man threatened as he knocked onto the wood.

The old lady opened up the door a little bit, just so she could peak though the little gap that she had formed.

“Can I help you sir?” She questioned the man politely.

“Sorry to interrupt you this late Ma’am, but can we please come in? It’s really important” He spoke.

“w-“ The old lady suddenly noticed the little girl that was standing next to him, and looked at her full of disgust. She silently nodded and opened up the door a little bit more, gesturing them to come in.

“You have a wonderful home” The police officer spoke as he entered the house.

“Thank you for the compliment sir, I don’t want to be rude but I’m really tired since it’s 1 AM, could you please get to your point?” She took a seat on one of the two couches that were placed into her living room.

“Ufcourse, I’m sorry!” He started as he sat down him selves and took the little girl on his lap. “And I’m even more sorry to inform you about the following Miss golden.”

The old lady frowned a little bit, making the lines in her face stand out even more than before.

“Your daughter, Elisabeth, and her husband Joe were involved in a car crash later this evening as they were on their way back home. Eyewitnesses called the police and the ambulance, they did everything they could possibly do, but sadly , the wounds were to deep, and couldn’t be healed.” He looked at her, his eyes full of concern.

Miss. Golden looked down to her hands that were placed on her lap.

“O-okay” She looked up again and faced the police officer, her face was black, no emotions, no nothing.

“I’m really so-“

“ But what is the real reason that you are her sir? You wouldn’t bring 'that' all the way here just to tell me that my daughter and her idiot of a husband died today” She pointed at the little kid that was trying to hold her tears back, trying to be strong, because her grandmother once told her that crying was for the weak.

The man looked at her in disbelief, not knowing why she wasn’t crying, or at least a bit emotional.

“ Uhm … We were wondering, since you are the only family that she still has around here, if you wanted to take ca-“

“No” the lady shook her head, hundred percent sure of her decision.

“I hadn’t even finished “He tried.

“I know sir, but I know what you wanted to ask. You wanted to ask me to take care of the kid, well, I’m most definitely not going to, I refuse to take care of a mistake that my daughter once made. Now I’m politely going to ask you to leave, because I’m not in the mood for all of this” She simply pointed at the door.

“But you are the only one she still has! If you are not willing to take care of the kid we have to send her to foster parents” The man raised his voice.

“ Fine, I don’t care about that thing! Even if you take her all the way to Africa, I don’t care” She angrily pointed at the door once again.

“NO!” The little girl finally spoke as the officer carried her out of the house.

“NO PLEASE! I DON’T WANT TO LEAVE! PLEASE LET ME STAY!”

“Whitney!”

“NOOO PLEASE DON’T!”

“WHITNEY!”

I immediately shot up as someone grabbed my shoulders , trying to wake me up.

It was just an nightmare … just an nightmare. I told my selves as I slightly closed my eyes again. Attempting to calm my selves down.

“Are you okay?” The same voice that woke me up spoke again, I totally forgot about that.

I slowly opened up my eyes and saw that Louis sat right next to me on my bed, looking directly into my green eyes as he let go of my shoulders.

“Yeah … just an nightmare… did I wake you up?” I looked to the other beds, and saw that everyone else was still asleep.

“Nah, I just couldn’t sleep because of all those bugs and stuff.. but are you sure that you alright? It sounded really … uhm … bad” He scratched the back of his neck with his hand, revealing the muscles on his arm.

“Do I talk in my sleep?”I nervously asked him, I certainly didn’t wanted him to know about all of that.

“No you were just screaming” He honestly spoke as he gave me a small smile.” Just try to sleep again okay?” He laid his hand down onto my leg, pushing him selves up.

“Yeah…”My voice trailed off as I realized that he was already gone.

**

“Fuck ” I cursed as I quickly hit my own leg, trying to kill a mosquito. I couldn’t sleep anymore, because of all the stupid insects that were annoying the crap out of me, I wouldn’t be surprised If I had over 10 mosquito bites on my leg! Let alone on the rest of my body!

Everybody else was still asleep, maybe a good moment to get the coin? I thought to my selves as a smirk appeared onto my face. I couldn’t sleep anyways … and honestly .. I didn’t wanted to sleep again, one nightmare a night is enough for me.

I slowly got out of the bed, making sure that no one could hear me, and made my way over to the forest.

It was quite creepy  as there was no sunlight peaking through the trees , there were creepy noises everywhere, most of them were familiar … but some of them weren’t, I was hoping that there wouldn’t be any kind of creepy animals around here that would eat me, or weird cave men that- Oh come one Whitney! Don’t be such a pussy! I told my selves as I got sick of my own thoughts.

After an half hour of walking I finally saw the cross that I had drawn with my feet to make sure that I would find the way back.

I looked up to the huge tree that was standing in front of me, how the hell could I ever get up there?! I mentally face palmed, How could I ever think that this was going to work?

I slowly grabbed a twig with one hand, praying that I had chosen a quite steady one, and pressed my sleves up with my feet. After I was about  3 meter above the ground; my feet slipped, causing me to fall on the ground.

“Damnit!” I moaned, as I was still laying on the ground. My whole knee was bruised, just like both of my elbows.

Everything in my body hurt as I tried to get back on my feet. I took a deep breath though my nose, and exhaled through my mouth.

“Come one Whitney!”I motivated my selves to keep walking toward the camp.
