Zayn's POV:
When Perrie told me that Isabella was her adoptive daughter, I lost it. I mean, how could she do something this important and not tell me? I left the restaurant and drove back to my house. {and I know Zayn doesn't drive but WHATEVS.} I got out of the vehicle and slammed the door shut. I walked inside and went straight to my room filled with art pieces. I pulled out a bunch of spray paint cans and began "painting my feelings". When I was done I stood up and took a step back, it took a minute for my brain to click in to the art piece on the wall but I realized that I had drew me, Perrie and Isabella... As a family.
1 week later...
Isabella's POV:
I put my plate in the sink and started doing the dishes.
"Izzy! How many times do I have to tell you? You don't have to do the dishes."
"But mum!"
"I said no Izzy, I can do it later. Now why don't you call Uncle Niall or something, ask him to hang out?"
"Okay." I walked into my room and grabbed my phone and dialled Uncle Ni Ni's number.
[N- Niall I-Isabella]
N- Hey Izzy Bear! What's up?
I- Nothing, mum told me to call you. Caught doing the dishes again.
N- Aha! Well what do you want to do?
I- Mmm... Can we go shopping?
N- OF COURSE! I will be there in 10! Oh hi Isabella!
I- Hi uncle Louis. See you soon.
I hung up and sat down on my bed.
"Izzy! Where are you?"
"In my room!" Auntie Jade came into my room and sat down next to me.
"So, whatcha doing today?"
"Hanging out with uncle Louis and uncle Niall."
"Oh okay! I was wondering, who's your fave singer?"
"You guys!"
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Well I gotta go! Have fun with Louis and Niall!" Well that was weird... I grabbed my phone and walked into the living room.
"Mum! I'm leaving to go shopping with Uncle Louis and Uncle Niall!"
"Okay sweetie! Be safe!" I ran downstairs and got into Louis's black range rover.
"HI ISABELLA!" I cringed as Uncle Louis yelled my name. "Oh sorry."
"It's okay, hi uncle Niall!"
"Hi love."
"So... Off to the mall!"
10 minutes later...
"So, since this is your first time shopping, whatever you want you can get."
"I don't want you spending all of your money on me, in fact I brought some of my money." I showed them my wallet that mum had given to me. Uncle Louis grabbed my wallet out of my hand and ran off in the other direction. Me and uncle Niall ran after him.
~~~~~~
"Mum! I'm home!" No answer. "Mum? Are you here?" Still no answer. Okay this is really starting to freak me out. I pulled out my phone and called mum, no answer. I called the next number I could think of and waited for a answer.
"Izzy? What's wrong?"
"I- I can't find mum, a-and I hate being a-alone."
"Stay where you are right now, I will be over as soon as possible." I hung up the phone and brought my knees to my chin, I started crying and that brought up a memory.
"Hello? Is anybody home?" I wandered downstairs carefully, since it was dark and I couldn't see anything. I heard the floorboards creak from behind me, I whipped around to see nothing. Then a hand was placed over my mouth, I tried screaming but the figure pulled my hair, obviously trying to get me to stop screaming it didn't work. I bit down on the hand and was let free of their grip.
"Do not do that!" The person came at me with a knife, and stabbed me in the side. I cried out in pain, then everything went black.
I woke up in a hospital room, frantically searching for something, someone.
"Izzy baby, calm down. Everything's okay."
"A-auntie Jade, what happened?"
"Well after you called me I rushed over as fast as I could, when I finally got there you were unconscious on the floor."
"Do they know why?" I asked quietly.
"No, might've been from all the stress baby girl. What's been on your mind?"
"Everything." I mumbled. "Where's mum?"
"We do-"
"Oh Isabel, thank god you're okay!" Mum came rushing into the room, and auntie Jade shot her a dirty look. "Woah, Jade what's going on?"
"You tell me? Where were you?"
"Uh- Zayn called, he wanted to apologize." Time for me to step in.
"So you couldn't answer my call?" I asked hurt.
"It's-"
"Perrie, outside now." Jade said quickly. "Be right back Izzy."
Jade's POV:
I know it was a mistake, but Perrie should've at least left a note.
"Explain." I said crossing my arms.
"Zayn called to apologize and we kind of got side tracked."
"God Perrie, did you know that she hates to be alone?"
"No! I didn't! And if I did I would've stayed!"
"Sometimes it makes me wonder, WHY did you adopt her? Huh? If you knew that Zayn wouldn't accept her, I want the truth."
"You want the truth?!" Perrie crossed her arms. "I was alone, I needed someone else beside you girls, and Zayn. I knew Zayn wouldn't accept her, but I was just stressed out! And do you want to know what stresses me out the most?" At this point, Perrie was on the verge of tears. "That my best friend knows more about my daughter than I do." Perrie started crying and I pulled her into a hug.
"Perrie, she doesn't feel welcome. I know more about her because I talk to her, she wants to talk to you, she really does. But she's afraid."
"W-what's there t-to be afraid of?"
