Away from Home

Chapter 3

A/N: HEY GUYS!!! IVE POSTED A PICTURE OF AMANDA ON THE SIDE :) HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING THE BOOK SO FAR!!! LOVE YOU ALL KEEP UP THE TOMLINSON SASS FOR ME PLEASE xD

I sat on the couch of the tour bus reading a magazine, okay fine I was more listening to the big "secret" conversation the boys and my brother were having. But come on its a small bus I can hear EVERYTHING. what I had heard so far was that every single boy besides Louis ( yes even Liam ewww -.-) thought I was fit and wanted to take me on a date. Of coursse my brother spazzed and said no, not that I want to date any of them ( I dont even no any of their names beside Liam and Harry!!) but I think JJ is being a little to harsh.

All the sudden I heard a " ehhmm" come from in front of me. I looked up from my magazine to see a man with grey hair that looked to be in his forties. " You must be Amanda, the girl Josh suggested as our new guitar player?" He asked with a heavy british accent. " Umm yes sir I am, I'm Amanda Devine." I replied. " Ahhh yes but I'm afriad you won't just be doing the guitar on this tour." " W-w-what do you mean by that sir?" I asked nervously. " First my young lady please call me Simon not Sir, and second I've also seen you sing and dance therefore, I want you to be the boys dance teacher and then play the guitar on tour. I know you wouldnt let me down Amanda." He said in a voice that sounded genuine." Ummm Id be honered sir I mean Simon." I said, Damn Im going to have to get used to calling him that. " Good now what are the boys up to?"

* An hour or so later*

" Hey Mandie can I talk to you?" JJ asked walking into the lounge area. " Sure JJ, where are the boys?" I asked. " Oh they just went out to get some Subway for us." "okay" I said with a smile " what do you want to talk about?" " Well I just want to know why you ran away..." he asked looking concerned. I sighed " JJ.... Its complicated....." I didnt really want to tell him. " Come on Mandie Im the only family you have left, you've told me everything from day one... why wont you tell me this?" he looked upset like he thought that It was his fault I ran away. " O-o-okay but if I tell you, you have to promise not to spazz...." I stuttered. " I promise on my love for music Mandie that I will not spazz when I find out. But Mand is it really that bad?" I shook my head.

" Okay Before I ran away you know how I was dating Liam..." I started " yeaaa...." JJ said. " Anyways when we first started dating he was perfect, holding doors for me, being a gentleman, and even protecting me from drunk guys.But then one day we went out and he had almost like a change  of heart because he would hit me, every time i saw him it was like he was angry about something. I'd be covered in brusies. So I finally gave up when Mum and Dad passed. I-I-I just bought a ticket to Canada and made a new life...." by then I had tears rolling down my cheeks. It stayed quiet for a minute or two, I looked up to see a very angry Josh. " THAT BASTARD, HITTING MY SISTER!!! AND HE THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY WITH IT?!?!?!" He yelled. " Look JJ you promised, why dont you just have one of the bandmates stay with me so Liam wont hurt me, Or even better I could run away to Australia this time, you know I've always wanted an Austrailian accent...." I started " No no no no no I cant go through loosing you again Mandie...I just can't BUT I am ghoing to get Niall to watch over you, he is one of the only ones I can trust with you." he said. JJ looked to be calmed down a bit.... " okay JJ"

Josh's P.O.V

 I cant just no..... why? Why whould Liam do that to my sister, one of my close mates abusing my sister.... no. I think Im going to find Niall and tell him the whole story then see if he can watch over her. I know Niall has a huge crush on her but he knows how to treat a girl right, unlike payeno here. I still cant imagine her running away again. Everyday was a struggle for me I barely ate , the boys had to drag me out of bed, and the day we saw her the boys had to force me to that restaurant. She is my only family since Mum and Dad passed. Dad was the first one to go, I still remember the day we gat the telephone call saying he had been killed in combat. Then Mum passed 5 or so months later from a car crash. After that Liam had made it into One Direction And Invited me to tour as the Band of One Direction. By then Mandie was staying in her own apartment in downtown London. The day I saw Her face appear on the Tele for an amber alert I shattered. I never ever want that to happen again. No one will hurt my baby sister no one.
