They dont know about us (miniminter fanfiction)

Chapter 8- the good and the bad news

As you got closer to the sidemen house, your mind began to race. Who knows what you would find when you got there, or what state Simon was in or any of them to be honest. They all seemed distraught when you left. You had no idea what to say or do once you got there. All you knew is that you had to be there.

As you arrived at the front door history seemed to repeat itself as you took a deep breath and waited for Vik to answer the door. The door edged open as vik's head popped round "oh it's just you" he said relieved as he opened the door fully this time.
"Yeah...is Simon here?" You asked softly
"Y/n you should probably come in first before we talk about this, you may need to sit down" his voice was shaky
You began to worry. Normally Vik would simply tell you if he was here or not...what could be so different this time?

You sat on the sofa beside a very upset JJ, his head in his hands and josh sitting beside him with his hand on JJ's shoulder for comfort. There was no sign of Simon. You couldn't hear his voice anywhere. Not even from his room like you always could. The atmosphere in the house was disturbing. Uncomfortable and silent. Until Vik entered the room and sat on the sofa beside you.
"Y/n what do you want to hear first? The good news or the bad news?" He looked down at his feet nervously.
"I mean...the good news I suppose" you replied your voice trailing off.
"The good news is, Simon is alive the bad news is...only just...he was pretty badly hurt and completely unconscious so we rushed him into hospital as soon as possible and well...that's where he is now"
Your body went cold and you could feel tears burning in your eyes. You couldn't believe that your own dad did this to him. But even worse, you couldn't believe you hadn't warned anyone about him. You knew you had to tell the guys that your dad was always planning this but how could you tell them without making things worse?
"I-I'm sorry guys..." you stuttered, everyone looked at you in confusion.
"Why are you apologising? This isn't your fault y/n" josh replied.
"Josh you don't understand...this is my fault...I could have warned Simon and you guys about all this but I just...I didn't think it was actually going to happen"
"Y/n what are you talking about?" JJ sniffed
"My dad had texted me a few days before it happened saying he was going to come down and get me back and that he wouldn't hold back from smashing the house up and hurting Simon...but I didn't think it would actually happen...then my mum text telling me he had left the house with a bat and was heading for the house. But you see when we got back from filming the football videos I saw him at the door, but he must have realised no one was in so he left. I didn't think he was going to come back so I never thought of brining it up...but he did..."
silence filled the room as your heart was racing and tears streamed down your cheeks.
"Well...like you said, you didn't know he was going to come back. You thought he had missed his chance. So no. It's. not your fault" josh reassured you as the others nodded.
"I just wish I had said something so maybe Simon would of had an idea when he did come back" you sighed
"Stop blaming yourself y/n" JJ stopped you, "you still didn't have a clue what exactly your dad was going to do once he was here, so there was nothing you could have done! This is only your dads fault...no one else's okay?"
You nodded and hugged JJ tightly.
"How about we go to the Hospital and see how he is?" Vik suggested
Yours and JJ's faces lit up and you both agreed.
"Well then, I'll drive...come on lets go" josh jumped up and waved you all over to the door.
