••Sophie's p.o.v.••

" come on, let's go watch tv." Zayn says and stretches out his hand to me. I look at it, then him. He had a smile on his face.

Would he hurt me ? Mummy said he would never hurt me. Would he try and touch me ? Mummy said she wouldn't. Is he a bad guy like Dan ? Mummy said he was a nice guy.

I grabbed his hand lightly and his smile grew. I lightly smiled back, hoping what I did was the right thing.

We walk into the room and sit on the couch. He grabs the remote and turns on the tv. He turns to Sponge Bob and looks at me.

" you want to watch this or something else ?" He asked and I looked at the screen. I pointed to it and he nodded.

I have been talk a lot more to mummy lately. I don't want to talk a lot because I don't want to get yelled at. Old mummy would hit me if I talked without her asking me to.

" Sophie ? Sophie are you okay ? " Zayn says from next to me. I look at him but everything gets fuzzy.

I felt my heart race. I tried sucking in air, but it felt stuck.

" Sophie !" He says and lays me down. I start crying and screaming. " shh. Shh. It's okay Sophie. Shh, shh. " he said picking me up and holding in his arms. They were warm and cozy.

" breathe Sophie. Breathe. Your okay. I'm here. It's fine. Just breathe." He says in my ear. I suck in air and it didn't feel trapped anymore. I was still crying though.

" mu-mummy " I whimpered. He looked at me and pulled out his phone. He still held me in his arms though.

" Perrie. It's Sophie. She-she . I don't even know per. It was really bad. I was scared shitless. Please, come home. Tell them it's a family emergency. " he pauses, mum's probably talking.

" fine. I'll call Louis an Eleanor. Bye love you. " he says and then waits a minute and hangs up. He looks at me and lightly smiles.

" mummy will be home later okay ? I'm gonna invite uncle Louis and aunt Eleanor over. Okay ? " he says and wipes away the tears that still leaked from my eyes. I nod and cuddle into his chest.

" Lou ? Can you and El come over. Please. I'll explain when you get here..... Thanks. See you soon." Zayn- I mean daddy says and hangs up.

A few tears fall onto his shirt and he looks down at me. " it's okay baby girl. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you. " he says and kisses my head. I nod and he wipes the tears from my small cheeks again.

I close my eyes and lay my head back on his chest.

•••

" zaynie ! We are home !" I heard a males voice yell through the house. I gripped onto daddy's shirt and he tightened his grip on me. " daddy ?" I say, trying to make it sound like I'm not gonna cry, but it didn't work. Tears fell from my eyes.

" shh. It's okay Sophie. It's just uncle Louis, and auntie Eleanor. He won't hurt you. I promise. " he says and kisses my forehead. I nod and lay my head back in his chest.

" awe ! Aren't you guys so cute !" Auntie Eleanor said walking in and looking at us. I looked at her and smiled.

" so why did you call us here ?" Uncle Louis asked.

" Sophie, Umh, I don't know what happened. She started shaking. Then she started screaming and crying. Right after that, it was like she couldn't breathe. I think she had a panic attack. It scared me. It took me about a half hour to calm her down. " daddy says looking down at me.

" sweetie. Can you tell us what you were thinking about before ?" Auntie said looking at me. She kneeled down in front of me and daddy so she can look at me in the eyes.

" my old mummy. She-she would hi-hit me if I-if I talked. " I said quietly.

" oh honey ! We won't hurt you if you talked. We would love to here you talk more ! Don't worry love, we would never hurt you for talking. I mean, you know how much uncle Louis talks, so we won't stop you from talking. " she says and I giggle when she talked about uncle Louis.

" wanna go colour Sophie ? We can colour a picture for Perrie and surprise her when she gets home !" Auntie said and I nodded. I hopped off dad's lap and ran to her. She grabbed my hand and we walked to my room.

" so Sophie. Do you like your new room ? " auntie asked when I went and sat down on my colorful beanbag chair.

I nodded and grabbed my crayons. She grabbed the paper and laid it down in front of me.

" that's good. How's Perrie and Zayn ? You like them ?" She asked looking at me. I looked at her and smiled.

" I love them ! " I exclaimed and went back to my coloring.

" Sophie ! Say cheese !" Daddy's voice said and I turned around and made a funny face. I heard a click and then I heard laughing. I opened my eyes and saw daddy, auntie and uncle Louis laughing at me. I smiled and went back to coloring.

" I'm home ! " I heard mummy's voice through the house. My head snapped up and I ran to her.

" mummy ! Your home ! " I say and jump on her.

" how's my baby girl? I saw that auntie Eleanor and uncle Louis are here ? " she says and I nod.

" I colored you a picture ! Come on !" I say and pull her hand to follow me into my room. The other three were still in my room, knowing I would come back with mum.

I brought her over to my desk and handed her the picture. She smiled and hugged me. " thank you Sophie. It is beautiful." She says and I smile.

It was a picture of me, her and daddy. We were all holding hands and I drew big smiles on our faces. I even wrote her a note. I just hope she really likes it.

She showed it to the other three and they all smiled at me. " yes ?" I ask quietly.

" your just so cute !" They all say and run to me and give me a hug. At first I flinched but then I hugged them back.
