One Thing Chapter Two

~~~Rivers POV~~~

I sit up, my whole body slick with sweat from my nightmare. I put my head in my shaking hands. God, I can't ever get away from the pain can I?

I feel wetness on my hands. I realize that I'm crying. Something I haven't done in a while. I look at the time ,10:32. I sit in my bed for a while before I walk into my bathroom. I look at my bloodshot eyes from lack of sleep. Tears have left tear streaks down my face. I stare at my horrible appearance before I hear Sammi's voice ring out into my room.

"Rivs?!"

~~~Louis POV~~~

Here we are, standing outside a foster home waiting for Zayn and Harry to drag their lazy butts out of the car . Liams mom is happy and going crazy, his dad is smiling at her.

Zayn and Harry reach us and we knock on the door. Liam wanted all of the boys to come with him because...well I guess he didn't want to be alone this very odd Saturday. As it turns out, this wasn't one of his moms phases, her and liams dad had been planning this for a few months now. They even know which one they want to adopt, but they want to meet her to be sure.

The door opens to reveal that same woman River was hugging yesterday. Okay, weird...

"Hello, I'm Sammi, the owner of the foster home, what may I do for you?" the woman asks.

"Hi, we had an appointment. The Payne family." Liams mom says with a wide smile.

"Oh!! Of course, come on in! Riveria should be up in her room right now, come Sammi says and leads us up a set of stairs and stops at a door at the end of the hall. Sammi opens the door to find an empty room. Hmm.

I look around. There are posters of Paramore, The Fray, Avril Lavigne, The Script, Christina Grimmie, and Taylor Swift. There is a queen sized bed with black cover that are tangled. There are dressers with books on them with a few lamps. There are pictures of a large family everywhere, in the corner there is a guitar laying on a smal back couch. There is a T.V. across from the couch.

"Rivs?!" Sammi shouts.

"Yeah?" a shaky voice comes from a room I think is a bathroom.

"There are people here to see you."

"Okay, can you get me some clothes? I just woke up." the voice says.

"Yeah, what do you want?" Sammi asks.

"Just get Lukes hoodie and sweats and one of Logans T-shirts." the voice says, cracking on the names Logan and Luke.

"Yeah." Sammi says quietly and pulls out a familiar looking hoodie, pair of huge sweats, and a large t shirt. The bathroom door opens when Sammi knocks. Sammi freezes. "Oh, darling, what happened?"

"Nightmare." the girl says. I can't see her yet, but the voice is familiar. Where have I heard it before?

"Oh, darling. Get dressed and come out here please." Sammi's voice softens. The door closes again. Sammi turns to us. "She'll be out in a moment. She has frequent nightmares from her past life." Sammi winces slightly.

"What happened in her past?" Harry asks. Sammi sighs and shakes her head.

"It's not my story to tell. You'll have to wait until she is ready to tell, but that could take awhile considering she has walls built up around her, protecting her from any hurt. It will take some time to gain her trust, but I think one of you maybe able to break down the walls."

We all sit there in silence, waiting for the door to open again. Finally it does and the girl comes out. But I saw what I never expected. River Woods.
