Liam Payne's Step Sister

66: Sophie Alert

20 VOTES AND 20 COMMENTS FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER. IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT BUT I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN DO IT!!!

Ellie's pov

"Princess... You awake?"

I turn around and wrap my arms around his waist and nuzzle my head into his chest.

"Did I ever tell you how sexy your morning voice is?" I sleepily murmur.

"No." He deeply chuckles.

"It's really fucking sexy..." I sigh in one breath.

He opens his mouth to say something but is stopped when we both hear my phone ringing from the bedside table. I pick it up without glancing at the caller ID.

"'ello?"

"Auntie Ellie?"

"Sophie?"

"I'm scared Auntie. Gramma left."

"What do you mean, baby girl?" I ask with worry filling me.

"She said she had to go. Grandpa needed her. I've been by myself since this time last morning." Sophie explains.

"It's ok Soph... Niall and I'll pick you up, ok? And we can have a sleepover!" I try to make the situation less intense for her.

"I'm gonna hang up, ok? Don't let anyone inside. Nobody. Got that?"

"What about Auntie?"

"Auntie has her own key. Stay inside baby."

I end the call and rush to the door.

"Ellie? Where the hell are you going?" Niall worriedly yells.

"Just stay here. I'll explain when I get her."

"Her?"

Without responding, I rush to the car and don't even bother with my seatbelt. I run through red lights to get there in time and breathe a sigh of relief when I see her peeking out the front window in the door.

I use my key and unlock the door. Sophie comes running into my arms and I stand there hugging her for a few minutes.

She must've been scared shitless since she's never been so quiet for so long.

I carry her to my car and put her in the back seat. I hop into the drivers seat with one hand on the steering wheel and one hand holding her tightly.

"Where the hell were you?!" Niall angrily demands as soon as I step foot in the house.

"Your dad could've fucking found you, Ellie. He probably would have killed you. And you wanna know what that would do to me? It would kill me too. Don't you dare ever run off like that ever again. Do you understand me?" Niall scolds, treating me like a child.

"I'm an adult, for crying out loud, Niall. You can't treat me like I'm a child because then there would be two in the house!" I snap.

"W- what...? Are you trying to tell me you're pregnant or something...?" He stands there, dumbfounded.

"Wha- no!"

Sophie comes wandering in the front door and Niall's eyes fill with concern.

"Where's your mum?"

"That's the problem, Ni."

He understandingly nods and takes Sophie's hand before guiding her to the kitchen.

"What the hell am I supposed to do...?" I mumble to myself as I burry my face into my arms on the counter.

"Liam!" The word shoots out of me like a cannonball and I rush upstairs to get my phone.

I quickly dial Liam's phone number and wait for it to stop ringing.

"Hello?" I hear Loui's cheerful voice chirp.

Oh... I forgot that he's Liam in my contacts...

I should probably get around to changing that...

"Look Lou, I need you and the boys to let Niall and I live with you for a bit. We're screwed if we stay in this house if Father knows we're here." I explain.

For the strangest reason, Louis has always known about my previous... Situation with Father. I assume Liam must've told him but I've no idea why it was Louis of all people. And why it was only him.

"Of course. Now?"

"Now. And be prepared to do a little babysitting."

"Wait-" I press the End Call button and Louis voice is cut off by the dead silence.

Niall's pov

"Niall?" Sophie's innocent voice chirps.

"Yeah?"

"Do you love Ellie?"

This causes me to stop and think for a minute. We say it to each other all the time, don't we? I for one, mean it. I fall in love with her more and more every time I see her.

"I love her a lot, Soph. Why do you ask?"

"Will you marry her and have babies?"

"Let me tell you a secret..." I whisper in all seriousness.

"I'm going to marry her very soon. But you have to promise not to tell her, ok?"

Ellie's pov

I walk into the room Sophie and Niall went in to and smile at them calmly talking to each other even though I can't make out the words.

Sophie catches sight of me and squeals, waving her hands out and reaching for me.

"Niall wants to ma-" She starts but Niall quickly reacts and places his hand over her mouth.

He quickly looks back up at me and has a guilty look before looking down at the ground and blushing boyishly.
