Paige's POV:

"Ok we have to go... Paige you'll be fine. I'll call you as soon as we leave." Hadley said, giving me a quick hug before walking out the door hand in hand with Liam.

I just sat there, frozen. "I literally cannot do this."

"Sure you can." Tyler insisted, handing me the phone.

I dialed the number, staring down at the screen. My hand was shaking and I quickly threw it back to him without pressing call.

"I can't do this." I repeated.

I heard a groan over from Louis. "How bad can it be? Call them!" He yelled with a snort.

I shook my head vigorously. The thing was, you've never met my parents. My mom was a stay at home wife. My dad was a business man. The typical urban family. But truthfully they were scary as hell. I grew up with Hadley as my constant companion. I never had that close bond with them. I never told them anything. They didn't really care what I did as long as I kept up our family name. When Carter had died, they were absolutely furious that I didn't call them, but the truth was they weren't in his life from the start and they didn't deserve to be in it at the end.

Needless to say they didn't share my views. They moved back to LA and have been here ever since and I haven't spoken to them. In all senses, they don't have a daughter anymore. I was fine with that. But here I was.

"Paige c'mon. Would you rather just drive over there." Harry asked, he was the most sympathetic of them all.

"Yea lets do that!" I agreed, at least it bought me sometime.

So we all packed into a car. I gave Tyler the directions and he started driving.

"Oh my god. What am I doing this is stupid." I murmured , my foot nervously tapping the floor.

"Hey you'll be fine. Were all here ok? I promise if you want I'll walk right up to that door with you." Harry suggested, grabbing my hand gently.

As usual my stomach felt like a swarm of butterflies had suddenly hatched. Which, combined with my stress, made my feel like puking. Yea not such a good combination. But I still wanted to hold his hand. And so I did. Watching the scenery roll past the window. Feeling more and more desperate the closer we got. Finally the car lurched to a gentle stop in front of a quaint home. Well here goes nothing.

"Ok all of you are coming with me." I demanded as I stepped out of the car.

I heard a few groans and angry whispers. But eventually I had everyone behind me as I walked up the steps. I stood there at the front door. Staring down the sleek oak door, my heart racing wildly. I couldn't do this.... I couldn't do this. Everyone was waiting, shifting their feet awkwardly as I fought a mental battle.

"Don't leave me you guys." I whispered, looking back at my small entourage.

Surprisingly they all nodded. Louis smiling face, encouraging me To knock. Zayns cool demeanor, pushing me towards the door. Niall, his crooked smile forcing my lips to lift in return. Tyler, his thumbs sticking up and a smile on his face. Harry, looking at me with concern but managing a smile.

"We're right here. Go on." Harry urged, giving my hand a squeeze.

I had to do this.

So slowly, ever so slowly. I raised y hand up and made a small fist. I bought it down, a hollow thud emitting as it hit the wood.

An again, a bit harder and a more solid sound rang out. The sound stayed there as we all waited with baited breath. Suddenly the door opened to reveal...my mom.
