The Set-Up (One Direction)

Unexpected Surprises

Molly’s POV

Shit! I was hoping something like this wouldn’t happen. I turned my head to the back of the studio to see the dark silhouette of a woman at the top of the stairs, light flooding in behind her.

She was here.

Adele’s mother,

Sarah.

(A/N: Haha sorry kinda forgot her name so I made it up…)

She was the reason why Adele was always at my place why Adele was so broken and I had to fix her again piece by piece, I turned to see Adele hiding into Niall’s chest with him whispering soothing words into her ear while hugging her. ‘ADELE THORP! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING? SPENDING TIME WITH CELEBRITYS WHO ARE TAKING PITY ON YOU? THEY DON’T REALLY LIKE YOU NEITHER DOES YOUR STUPID FRIEND MOLLY!’ Ouch damn woman I’m right here. I thought to myself as I motioned for the boys to come join me and Zayn by the couch.

Well here goes nothing. ‘Ok Adele do you want to tell them or me?’ I asked sympathetically, she just pointed to me and I continued. ‘Ok so that woman is Adele’s mother, she is an alcoholic and by beating Adele she releases her anger, and I know how to deal with her so I need you boys to STAY HERE while I deal with her ok?’ They all nodded solemnly while Adele tackled me into a hug.

‘Be careful.’ She whispered before curling back into Niall’s arms. ‘Ok Adele bring the boys to your place in about half an hour ok? I’ll be in the back room. Now stay here and don’t come try and help me.’ I said strictly before getting up and walking towards Sarah.

I reached Sarah and we had a stare down before she lunged, kneeing me in the stomach I fell to the floor but immediately jumped up remembering what happens if you stay down too long, I looked around wildly searching for Sarah, I spotted her but it was too late and a searing pain shot through my head from where she punched me, oh it’s on!

I grabbed the rope that I kept as a belt for situations such as these and dodged Sarah’s next attack and grabbing her wrists and quickly tying them, and then picking her up bridal style and walking out of the studio without so much of a backwards glance at the boys and Adele.

Harry’s POV

Molly motioned for us to come over to her and Zayn, ugh this had better not be something stupid I thought as I settled down next to Louis and focused my attention to Molly. ‘Ok Adele do you want to tell them or me?’ She asked the beautiful girl wrapped up into Niall’s arms. The girl, Adele just simply pointed to Molly.

 What the bloody hell is going on here?

I wondered as I focused my attention on Molly again, ‘Ok so that woman is Adele’s mother, she is an alcoholic and by beating Adele she releases her anger, and I know how to deal with her so I need you boys to STAY HERE while I deal with her ok?’ I nodded unable to sink as the words sunk in. So that’s why molly wants this set-up to work out so much. She wants someone very powerful to protect Adele.

Wow, that’s one amazing friend. But what does she mean “deal with her”? ‘Ok Adele bring the boys to your place in about half an hour ok? I’ll be in the back room. Now stay here and don’t come try and help me.’ Molly said before walking away from us and towards Adele’s mother.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Adele weeping into Niall’s shirt and Liam who’s mouth kept opening and closing unable to form coherent words, worry and anxiety written on every inch of his face. We all stood quietly and watched as Molly ascended up the stairs towards Adele’s mother the tension was so thick that I was worried one word would cause mayhem.

I searched the crowd their sole attention was on Molly and Adele’s mother I instantly snapped my head back to them as I heard the sickening sound of a body hitting the wooden floor. I gaped in wonder as Adele’s mother ruthlessly attacked Molly and I was shocked when Molly caught her and picked her up. Damn that girl is strong; I always wondered how she was always able to beat us in an arm wrestle. She even beat Paul! And he’s the buffest man I know!

Molly’s POV

I groaned as kept walking carrying Sarah, -who to be honest isn’t the lightest- plus my head was killing me. Oh great another concussion. ‘Ok Sarah spill, who’d you get the booze (alcohol) off this time?’ I asked thinking about who would be the most venerable I came up guessing Veronica Sarah’s best friend, and the next second my suspicions were proven correct. ‘Veronica.’ ‘My god Sarah how many times have I told you this! Steven died four years ago! You need to clean your act up and go meet another nice man! Sober up for a day and see what you have done to Adele in the last four years she was so broken and I was the one who put her back together. And those boys back there? They are her ticket out of here.’

 ‘W-What do you mean by that?’ Sarah asked confused.

 ‘What I mean is I’m sending her on tour with them in my place, so that means I’m staying here, to look after you.’ It’s for the best I thought as I continued to walk.

SURPRISE UPDATE! MWAHAHA! Oh man I wish I could see your faces! So Molly’s not going on tour with them!?! Or will she? Guess the song lyrics and singer/s for a dedication!

I wanna be last,  yeah

Baby let me be your last
