"What are you going to say!? That we've been plotting against you behind your back this whole time? It's our father we're talking about, he'll ship you across the world too!" Jack screamed as he chased me out the restaurant after I stole his car keys. "You don't get it, Jack. I don't care if he sends me to China, I just want my boyfriend!" I yelled as I shoved him away and continued to walk.

"And you think he's going to allow that? How are you lost at the power that man has? The first thing he'll do is separate you from humanity, including Fin and I. He won't listen, he'll just say he'll take care of it like he says he's been saving your money for your world trip!" He hollered at the top of his lungs this time, but instantly fell silent. We had both gotten in the car, me in the drivers him in the passenger, sitting in the parking lot.

"But-." I tried to say but my voice began to crack. "But he promised."

"He's promised us a lot if things. That's why I've been putting all the money back for you. All I want is you to be safe and as far away from him as possible." Jack said with his tone much softer. I wasn't crying. Not yet anyways, which only meant that I looked like puffy red balloon. "He can't control our lives. We shouldn't be sneaking around mom. We should be normal teenagers for crying out loud. You shouldn't have to use your own money to cover for our father's careless mistakes." I whispered ever so lightly.

"Too bad we made the pact, hmm?" He chuckled, sitting back in his seat. I smile and nod, leading a long moment of silence till I pull my phone out.

"Yessir!" Fin giggled when she answered.

"Fin, I need to talk with Mel."

"Nooo! You can't. It's one in the morning!"

"Fin, please, it's important!"

"Nope!"

"Hey, who is that? Esme? Hey, Esme!" Zayn's voice said.

"Zayn, I need to speak with Mel, it's an emergency."

"Okie doks." He simply answered following loads of muffles as he attempted to get the phone. "Alrighty! I'm going to her room now!"

I laugh at both of there personality changes. Damn that low drinking age and them already being eighteen. No worries Esme, you'll be eighteen and have your adult license instead of your junior one and hit the clubs in no time! With a fake I.D maybe.

"Hello?" A calm British voice said.

"Mel? Hey, it's Esme. There's a huge emergency, my dad's trying to send Niall back to Ireland and you have to do something because he can't leave because I love him and you have to set some law thingy do he doesn't leave or less I'll just run away to Ireland where I can drink legally with my boyfriend and you just need to--"

"ESME! Honey, first of all, you should've mentioned the fact your George was your father. I guess it's fine, but it would've been helpful if you had said something. Secondly, I've been doing a lot of research with this case and it has come to my attention that your father's trying to send him back. The only issue here is Bobby Horan is legally his official guardian and your father would have to do a long custody battle with Bobby if he doesn't agree to send Niall back home. Where did you get such a silly idea?"

"Niall's mother said they're succeeding with it and he'll be flown out anytime now."

"Yes, for a family visit. I got your friends to send that recording with really valued information to the police and they decided they'd take a careful look into it, but Niall would still have to stay in jail. But I asked if he could take a monitored family visit to Ireland and he should be leaving soon. It'll be for the week and no worries, he gets two twenty minute phone calls each day. I was going to tell you all of this tomorrow morning, but I guess now it better."
