Liam Paynes Daughter

Chapter 4

I glance at Max and Alex, seeing them both kneeling infront of me, sympathy written all over their faces. Alex holds a hand out to me, smiling. I look at his hand, and then slowly look back up at his face. They both see my worried glances and then Alex grabs a stary strand of hair, tucking it behind my ear slowly, leaving tingles erupting around my ear. "It's okay, baby." He says, picking me up bridal style, "We won't hurt you, and neither will anyone else" He murmurs, stroking my hair. I find myself slowly dozing off, I drop my head on his shoulder, muttering a quick thank you before slowly falling into a dream-filled sleep. But, the last thing I hear before I'm completely gone is -

April's POV
Alex whispers, "Goodnight, Princess." In my ear, being carful not to wake me up.

Alexs POV
I walk to my car, planning to take April to my place. Why did I ever bully her? She is honestly beautiful in every way possible, she has an amazing personality, and Ryder, Max, and I had to go and ruin it. We broke her, she thinks she is ugly. We made her say she is, we remind her everyday. But it wasn't only us, it was pretty much the whole school. It still is the whole school. But, Max and I are going to change that, we can't stand it anymore. Watching April go through all this pain, all this pain she doesn't deserve. And Max and I will try with all our power to protect her, because we have too. We're sick of it. Max pats me on the shoulder, and it's only then did I realize silent tears are rolling down my cheeks, and we're at my car. I open the back door, laying her down on the seat. I close the door, and go to the drivers seat and start the car. Max hops in the passenger seat, looking at the ground. I put my hand on his shoulder and when he glances at me, his dull eyes showing nothing but pain and regret, I have to squeeze my eyes shut to stop the tears. I'm so fucking sorry, April.
