adopted-chapter 40

i woke up early, because of the boys, again.

lou and harry haven't spoken, unless they completely needed to, for a whole 2 weeks, which is twice the longest time I've ever seen any of the boys not talk.

the boys are off their tour break which seemed to last forever, but now its over. its been interview after interview and late concerts. the boys tried their hardest to spend as much time with me as they could, taking me along to lots of the concerts, sometimes interviews. my sleep has been cut short of usual but its ok, because i think that im one of the only 12 years olds that gets to have the world biggest band as their dads.

after convincing the boys, with paul and dani's help, they eventually agreed to let me stay home alone. i honestly believe i wont try anything and that i am doing really well with recovery, but the boys still were worried, so we agreed they called around every 45 minutes, depending on what they were doing, and dani or el would drop in sometimes, usually at a reasonable waking hour.

right now it was barely 7, and i was sitting on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate, texting niall while they were driving to the interview.

niallerrrr:p : paul is annoying harry ahaha

me: ahaha, and who are you annoying?

niallerrrr:p : hopefully you! haha, our driver smells:(

me: um ok? haha. what time is the interview tomorrow?

niallerrrr:p : um i think one at 7(am) which is an hour away so we wake up at like 5.30, and then one later at 12.30.

me: can i come with?

obviously i was going to be awake so i at least want to be doing something fun

niallerrrr:p : sure! you can guest star

me: hell no! anyway, glee just came on so im gonna go and watch that. have fun!

niallerrrr:p : fine, leave me): stay safe, love you goldy!

i smiled before turning off my phone and now paying full attention to the TV.



i rolled over in my blanket and hit the ground with a thump. i groaned and threw the blanket off me and rubbed my elbow in pain.

of course i had to fall off the lounge, I'm such an idiot. i looked at my elbow. it was going to bruise but its not too bad.

el still wasnt here and the boys hadn't called. i picked up my phone and dialed harry's number, as it was the first that came into my head

"hey" he said into the phone

"hey" i replied after yawning

"whats up?"

"oh nothing, you just hadnt called me...and el isnt here" i said biting my lip

"well we are on our way home..um el wont be there" he said and his tone worried me

"why what happened? is el ok?"

"yeah, we will explain when we get there. itll only be about five minutes"

"ok.. well ill be here!" i said

"love you" he said, and hung up before i could reply.

i looked at the phone confused but placed it on the table and laid back on the couch.





ZAYNS POV



"was that em?" i asked as soon as harry got off the phone

"yep" he said and shoved his phone back in his pocket

lou left straight after the interview, after a loud fight with el on the phone. they met up at her house and we hadnt heard anything after that.

the car stopped and we all got out.

"do you think ems ok?" niall asked

"yeah. she would have slept most of the time anyways" liam answered him as we all went into the house.

em came around the corner.

"where's lou?" was the first thing she said.

i looked to liam, who was looking to harry. no one was saying anything. i rolled my eyes

"with el. they uh, had a fight" i said.

"is it bad?" she asked biting her lip.

el is her best friend, they are practically sisters, and if el and lou break up em probably thinks that she won't see el anymore

"we dont know. all we heard was yelling and then lou left" liam said

em nodded and stepped over closer to me. i picked her up and placed her small body on my hip.

"how was your interview?" she asked, playing with the strings of my jacket

"boring" i said with a smile which she returned.

she shut her eyes momentarily and bit her lip. she looked like she was in pain

"em?" i asked quietly.

the other boys had all gone off to do who knows what and we were left in the lounge room.

her eyes fluttered open.

"sorry" she said and faked a smile

"what happened?" i asked her and she shook her head, pretending like nothing happened.

i sighed and put her down.

"im here for you, we all are, i hope you know that"

"i do" she smiled.
