His Little Snowflake (1D & Ed Sheeran)

Chapter 3

Ed's POV

As I made Delilah her pancakes, someone knocks at the door. It's probably Niall.

"Come in!!" I yelled.

"Hey." Niall said coming in through the door with Harry.

"Hmmm how did I know you were gonna come?" I asked

"Well, we sorta planned me coming over." Niall bluntly said.

"Anyway how have you been Delilah??" Harry asked.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just a little hungry." She spoke with her weak and gentle voice.

"Well here, eat these." I said giving her the pancakes.

"Thanks." She smiled. Wow. Her smiles just amazing. Damn it Ed!! Stop it!! You know Niall likes her! Dont think about her like that. Ugh I really gotta stop talking to myself.

"Delilah, you should tell us what happened to you, why you're all weak and bruised up everywhere." Niall told her, "Unless it's too uncomfortable to talk about."

"Yeah, you don't have to tell us if you don't want." Harry said.

"Oh no. I absolutely can't tell you. If I do, I'll get in trouble. He's gonna find me and hurt- I mean take me back home." She told us.

"Wait, hurt what?? What do you mean??" Niall said with worry in his eyes. Delilah just sat there and looked like her face was just full of shame.

"Yeah, tell us please??" I asked

She sighed, "If I must tell you, you have to promise you can't tell a soul. Okay??"

"Okay, our lips are sealed." Harry said.

"Well, after my dad died, his 'friend' took me in. Because he was like my god father. And he's just terrible. Once I turned 16 he made me be another one of his prostitutes. He runs a secret prostitution, and I have to do what he says or else he'd abuse me."

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry. But you didn't explain how you ended up in the alley all beaten and bruised." Niall explained, he seems extremely upset. Wait, is he about to cry??

"I was getting to that part. But my dads 'friend', Rob, never would give me enough food to eat, and he'd always keep the money me and the other girls made. He'd always use it on drugs and gave them to us. But one night a few nights ago I had a client and I refused to do it because I just felt terrible. I've been really sick lately. Just look at how skinny I am!! It's disgusting. But anyway since I refused he beat me, he told me not to come back till i had all the money that the client had offered. But soon he'll get his buddies to come and find me, and once he finds me he's probably gonna rape me again if I don't have the money." She told us while she began to sob.

"Oh my god!!!! I can't believe someone would do that to you!!" Niall said beginning to comfort her. "Ugh, I'm gonna beat that sick bastard."

"Why do you care? This is the second time I've gotten thrown and the other people that found me lying in an alley just laughed at how poor and best up I looked. Nobody ever cares. Not about a prostitute." She said emotionless. I began to feel sick to my stomach, that's terrible.

"Well, I care because I'm not an asswipe like most people in the world." He said.

"Well, thanks I guess. Oh, and don't go and try to do something about this. Because Rob's guys will beat you to a pulp. They're pretty much like his gang." She explained.

"But he shouldn't be doing this to a beautiful girl like you!!" Niall blurted out. I don't know why, but when he said that I began to boil up with anger.

"Wh-What did you say??" Delilah asked.

"Oh well I said that he shouldn't be doing this to a nice girl like you." Niall said trying to cover up what he said. As he said that I saw Delilah shake off what we all heard the first time.

Delilah's POV

Ohmygawd. Did he just say what I think he did?? I must be dreaming. There's no possible way a guy like him could like me, a prostitute?? Please, he wouldn't dare.

"Wh-What did you say??" I asked.

"Oh well I said that he shouldn't be doing this to a nice girl like you." He said. I just shook off at what I thought he said. See, he can't possibly like me, he's so freaking gorgeous and I'm just so ewk.

"It's whatever, I deserve it according to Rob. He always insults me and my father." I told them as if it was nothing.

"What?? That's not right!!" The curly one spoke up. I think his name is Harry?? Yeah, I'm just gonna go with that.

"Eh, I'm used to it, oh and thanks Ed for letting me stay here, but I should be on my way trying to come up with the money to give to Rob." I told them standing up, I was so dizzy that I had to sit back down.

"Beauti- Delilah, you can't go anywhere!! You can barely stand!! You have to stay here for a while. Wait, you shouldn't even be going back there!!! That place is just horrid. I'm not gonna let you go back." He told me, just. I can't believe he actually cares, pfft. He just probably wants sex from me.

I was snapped out of my thoughts by Ed speaking up.

"Well, what if like buy you from Rob?? Like give him enough money to let you go." He suggested.

"Oh, no. You don't have to do that. I don't want you spending all that money on me. Because it's surely gonna be alot." I told them.

"But, we're famous dear. So it'll be like nothing." Harry said.

"Really?? You'd do that for me??" I asked.

"I definitely would, you deserve to be treated better." Niall said. Maybe he really does care. A smile crept up on my face. And I think the boys noticed.

"Watcha smiling about??" Harry asked.

"Oh nothing, I was just in deep thought." I told them. I think I'm actually gonna get away from that hell hole for good.
