Tattooed Promises (A Punk One Direction Fan-Fiction)

New Girl

As we all sat down at dinner I noticed something, 2 empty chairs that still had a plate set out for the people who where not there.

“Ummm… why is there a couple of empty spaces there?” I asked politely as I gave my parents a look of confusion.

“Well…” my dad started “you have two other siblings.” He said as he looked down and it seemed like he had tears in his eyes. I just nodded and finished my meal in silence. By the end of the meal, Liam had already walked himself back into his room and my parents began to clean up.

“Can I help?” I asked nicely as I brought my plate to the sink.

 “Not today Scarlett, me and your dad need to talk.” My mom said as she took the plate from my hand. I just nodded and walked up the stairs and into the hallway. Then a thought hit me what was that flash when I woke up to find Liam? I quickly made my way to Liam’s room and softly knocked. I heard shuffling and the door swung open to reveal Liam.

“What do you want?” he snapped as he looked me up and down.

“Can we talk for a moment?” I whispered as I looked at my feet. To be perfectly honest I think he’s gonna shut the door in my face.

“Sure,” he moved a bit so I could make my way into his room. I slowly walked in and sat down on his messy bed.  He slowly and quietly shut the door behind me. Now it’s only me and Liam.

“Ok, so who are my other siblings?”  I questioned.

“Well… there is Ruth and Nicola-“

“I have sisters?!” I interrupted him with my squealing. I smiled widely at the fact I had sisters. I’ve always wanted a sister!

“Yeah.” Liam chuckled as he sat down next to me.

“Tell me about them.” I urged as I gave him my full attention.

“Well… Nicola is a wonderful person. She’s smart, kind, and can light up anybody’s day. And she’s in uni right now…Erm… and then there’s Ruth.” His expression became distant and cold.  I stayed silent and so did he. But after a couple minutes Liam began to talk again.

“Ruth was… clever, spunky, outgoing, but she could never stay away from trouble. But…how do I put this...erm… about a year ago she was coming home from a party with a couple friends. And a driver…they… they didn’t stop and hit her… and she… she was killed on the way to the hospital.” I moved a bit closer to him and gave him a hug. I know how he feels. My friend had a relative who passed the same way. After a while he pulled away.

“What you wanna do now?” I asked as I tried to keep his mind off of Ruth.

“Well if you don’t mind I would like to get into something different. So either you leave or you’re gonna be scared from life. Your choice.” He stated as he stood up.
