Adopted To Save My Brother (One Direction/Louis Tomlinson)

Chapter 7

Scarlett's P.O.V

Rebecca has been returned to her house. We comepelled her parents not to ask so they didn't. They just know that she's supposably sick.

But today I am going back to school. The place where no one gives a fuck if someone is getting beat up. The place where snogging and getting HIV's or Herpes wouldn't be a problem because it was completly normal to them. The place where the teachers are no where to be seen when needed, and that sickens me.

Louis keeps asking me if I'm sure I want to go to school, and quite franclilly I don't, but I have to. I have to keep Charlie from hurting innocent people. I guess I wasn't adopted just to protect my brother now. It's getting tireing I tell you, but it's for the best.

I ate my breakfest with no one asking any questions and I liked it. I just didn't like how everyone is being so quiet. No abnoxious jokes came out of Louis' mouth, No 'Shutup Louis' from Eleanor's mouth,  No 'I'm hungry' from Nialls mouth, No 'We have to do an interview today so hurry up' from Liam's mouth, No 'I got to fix my hair agian, Liam' from Zayn's mouth, and the strangest thing, No cheeky 'Hey, beautiful' from Harry's mouth. I miss those. I guess everyone is trying to process everything that Charlie is capable of doing or maybe they don't want to annoy me anymore than I am for having to go to school.

We all finished and pilled our dishes in the sink. I grabbed my keys and backpack then headed out the door with everyone following. I jumped into the drivers seat and started the car.

"Can you drive, Scarlett" Louis asked me as he hopped into the passengers seat. Everyone got into the back.

"Yea" I softly replied and backed out of the driveway. The radio softly hummed, playing 'Burn' by Ellie Goulding. I turned it up and sung along. (Song on the side)

"We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing

'Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something

They, they gonna see us from outer space, outer space

Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race"

At the break, when I paused, everyone stared at me in fascination. I hear the sound of a phone beep, meaning someone is recording me but I ingnored them and kept singing to my heart's joy.

"When the light's turning down, they don't know what they heard

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world

We'll be raising our hands, shining up to the sky

'Cause we got the fire, fire, fire

Yeah we got the fire, fire, fire"

Everyone was still looking at me with smiles on their faces. Harry started to hum then sing along with me at the chorus. We sounded quite good and Harry wasn't being annoying for once.

"And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn

We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn"

Harry takes the next verse, and the rest of them nod their heads at how good we sound

"We don't wanna leave, no, we just wanna be right now,r-r-right now
