Niall's POV

To be honest I really love Sydney. I loved her from when I first saw her. She even does music and likes us I mean come on jackpot! I can tell she doesn't trust us well enough. When I saw the trumpet was all bent and she told me a little story from her past I wondered what else did her father do to her. Her past seems so horrible...

"Are you going to play something?" Zayn asks.

She slowly nods and I see a little fear in her eyes. I'm still sitting next her and I will keep the promise I made I will get it fixed. And I promise that. She finally brings the instrument to her lips, but it seems that she can't get anything out. Since I'm sitting right next to her I see that her hands are shaking. Poor thing.

"Sydney," I say softly and put my hand on her back.

She lowers the instrument and looks at me with fear in her eyes.

"If you don't what to play it's fine." I say grabbing her hand. She flinches but calms a little. She nods and looks at her fingers that holding the trumpet.

"I...I hope you aren't mad, I...I just... I'm sorry." she says quietly and starts to cry.

Zayn comes over and sits next to her.

"PLEASE DON'T HURT ME I'M SO SORRY I'LL PLAY I'LL PLAY!" she yells making me wanna cry.

Zayn has hurt in his eyes was his fault. Louis, Liam, and Harry just look heartbroken. She quickly starts to play a familiar song... very familiar. Well of course it's familiar it's The Best Song Ever she's playing! She plays medium pitch and her fingers gracefully playing with the valves. She finishes and everyone has wide eyes smiling or their jaws dropped, I'm one of those. She puts her head down like she's ashamed. We all clap and she looks at me like she's wondering what she did.

"That was amazing!" All of us say at different times.

"Thanks." she says with a small smile.

"It's 5:30 do you want dinner?" Harry asks.

"I...I don't eat very much but okay."

"I'll help you put away your stuff." I say to hopefully brighten her up. "Thank you." she says back a little smile.

It's a trumpet it's not that hard to put away. "Thanks again no one ever really helped me." she says while walking downstairs

"Your welcome, anytime sweetheart!" When we get down there it smells like Mac n cheese. Yummy! We sit at the table and when I'm about half finished mine, It doesn't look like Sydney even started.

"Are you going to eat some love?" Liam asks her. She nods gently and picks up her fork and begins to eat. She eats about half when she says she's full. I believe her and pick her up to her room. All the boys agreed that one of us should sleep with her until she feels safe and trusts us.

"Now, Sydney we've decided to keep you around us including sleeping so you learn you're safe here." I say when we get into her room. Her eyes widen a little and fear goes across them. "Okay." she only says before I  leave to get my Pj's on and get hers on. When I'm com back into her room I see she's on her phone. I walk over and see she's on instagram. I love that app!

 "You've got an Instagram I see." she looks at me and smiles a bit. "Yeah, I do and I've been following you for over 3 years now." I pull out my phone, open IG, and find her, now I'm following her.

"That better?" she giggles a little. "Yes it is. I thought that would never happen!" I laugh and put my phone along with hers on the dresser.

"Let's go to bed okay?" I say. She gives a small nod while she lies down. I bring her up against my body to make her feel safe.

I wrap my arms around her and whisper in her ear " There's no need to be afraid. We're here to help and keep you safe. We love you and always will and don't ever forget it." And then she drifts off and I'm left holding my new daughter. But it's not long before I asleep as well.
