Being Zayn Malik's Adopted Sister

Old Memories

Emily POV

It's been a day since the whole thing yesterday. Liam's the only one that's been talking to me and he's been trying to convince the others they should too. It just hurts that he's only doing it because of what he saw. If he haven't of walked it he still would be ignoring me.

I've been really thinking about what I had done to make them shun me out. I know it was a stupid thing to do but I only wanted a laugh. I really regret it. And I suppose you're wondering how I could fake dad for 10 minutes. Well here's a bit of a story for you.

Since I was 7 I was really badly bullied. I even had people follow me home from school and bash me on the way. One day, when I was 10, there was a new bully at the school and he was really mean. He followed me on my way home and chased me into someone's back yard after he threatened me with a baseball bat. He started bashing me with it when I realised I had no way to turn. I was trying to look around but I had blood running down my forehead into my eyes and I still have nightmares about the red deathly look on that bully's face. I remember wiping my eyes between every strike and after a few go's I could see a pool about 5 metres away, with no fence. I counted down from 5 and pushed Marcus Sutherland off me with all the energy I had in me and sprinted and jumped into the pool. I didn't realise how bad of a plan that was until I rand out of energy and started drowning. Marcus legged it over the owners fence and I forced my body, with all my might, to float. He came back 5 minutes later to see if I was still alive. I held my breath for what felt like forever until he left, running scared. I remember later on, waking up in hospital. It took me 2 months to recover and when I finally returned to school, Marcus was no where to be seen. Whether he ran away or whether he was caught and charged is still unknown by anyone out of the police force. Ever since that day, I've been able to hold my breath for ages as a defence my body made.

I know scary huh? But that was my life back then.

-------------------------------------

I'm sorry this has been a super short chapter :/ I'm going to hopefully post the next chapter soon and if it's short it will be followed closely by yet another chapter.

I have yet another excuse (yeah I know, another one :/) my boyfriend broke up with me about a week after my last chapter, it was a difficult time for me and he doesn't even talk to me anymore. He's been in another relationship (only for a week and a half) a week after we broke up and we had been together for 6 months. And he's been kissing other girls and stuff. I'm over him now though, I realised he was just a jerk. So I'm sorry for the late chapter I'm going to write the next one ASAP.

Thank you my unicorns :D <3 xx
