In a blink of an eye

chapter 1

This story came to me when watching an interview Hometown did. In the interview one of the questions asked was "who is most likely to have a secret family" or something along them lines. This lead to me thinking about writing a story about one of them having a secret to do with their family. so here we go.

I don't own any member of hometown or anyone you may recognise. I also do not own any videos or pictures in this story unless otherwise stated.

Btw I am British so if there are the British versions of words you know why.

Ryan-18

Dean-18

Josh-15

hope you enjoy.

Brendan's Pov

There are three sorts of lives. One that is amazing all the way through, one that is crap all the way through and one where it is extremely crap at the beginning, then amazing for the rest of the time. I thought my life was the last one, however now I'm not so sure. You see when I was younger I was abused by my Father, my mum didn't know until I was thirteen. As soon she found out she called the police and had him arrested. I lived with my mum after that for about a year before she was killed by a drunk driver. As I had no other family I was put into a foster home, where I was basically bullied and hurt because I was the weakest. After that, i never trusted anyone, except the police officer in charge of my case against my father, officer Reynolds. He was the one who told me about these auditions Louis Walsh was holding. I was extremely scared and nervous but I went down with my guitar and sung and played for them. After an extremely long audition process, and a lot more singing, I was accepted into the group along with five other guys. They were all older than me, apart for one, Josh. We were 15 with a bunch of 17 and 18-year-olds. I was extremely shy and nervous for the first couple of months in the group, not sure if I fitted in or not, but after a while I came out of my shell, not fully, but enough to start making jokes and enjoying myself. I became best friends with Josh as we were the youngest and decided to stick together. Dean and Ryan became my pseudo-parents. Not that they know it or know about my past. Cian and Dayl became my elder brothers. Always picking on me but ready to defend me as well. I even kept in touch with officer Reynolds, He keeps telling me to call him Kevin, But I can't call him that as I respect him too much. Everything was perfect until today.
