Looking For Relief

Chapter 8

Callie's POV

Throughout dinner John kept texting me. Each message getting worse and worse.

John:

Where are you ? Your mothers not home.. you know what that means ;)

John:

If your not home by the time your mother's here.. well you already know what will happen.. xoxo

He is insane.

I tried to show no emotion as I opened the rest texts that came in, and it seemed to work.

I scarfed down the rest of the greasy fries that I had and drank my drink. I needed to get home as quickly as possible. Before something too extreme might happen.

Harry offered to take me home but I knew that it would just make John even more upset, so I quickly declined.

I hugged Ally goodbye and politely waved the boys goodbye.

On the drive to my house I couldn't help but cry. I always try to not self pity myself but I just had to.

Why did my dad have to die so soon? I hate him for not saying goodbye. I hate him for getting in that car. And I hate him for leaving my mom and I in the hands of John.

If he only knew what his best friend was truly capable of.

My mother and I knew John before my father died. In fact, Dad and him had been best friends since highschool. I grew up calling him Uncle John.

His wife Rebecca was so sweet and caring. She had long, brunette hair, much like mine, along with the same brown colored eyes. We shared a lot of similar features, physically and personality wise.

Dad, Mom, and Uncle .. I mean John always referred to us as twins. We were so close.

Until the day that left me without two of the most influential people in my life.

I pull up in the driveway and hop out of my car quickly. I run up the stairs that lead to the front door and I put my key through the keyhole. I turn the knob slowly trying to be as quiet as possible. I open the door and step inside. I turn around and push shut the massive door but find myself frozen as I hear footsteps coming down the staircase. I intake a deep breathe bracing myself for what is to come. I turn around and find myself even more horrified than I initially was.

Harry's POV

The dinner wasn't as fun without Callie. Ally was all over me the WHOLE time. Like almost sitting on my damn lap. Guess who got teased for it the whole ride home?!

Me. Harry fucking Styles.

They didn't know my feelings for Callie. Probably at least one of them wants to hook up with her which makes me indescribably jealous. I mean who wouldn't?

When we get to our large house, mum is at the dinner table... alone, like most nights when the boys and I all go out. Dad is always working late. He says he does it for the family but we would all like for him to be home more. We have enough money and stuff.

"Hey mum!" I yell.

"Hey mum!" the rest of the boys repeat.

"Hey my sweet boys!" she says cheerfully.

"Mummm we're seniors in highschool noww." Niall groans.

I love my mum. She is one of the sweetest ladies I know. She always volunteers at shelters and adopted all of us so graciously.

My mum and dad adopted all of us when they were visiting the UK.

I met Louis when were around 5 or 6, we became best friends instantly. Not too much later, we met Zayn and Liam who were the same age of us. Then came the Irish blonde hair, blued boy, Niall. At first he was sort of the outcast but he soon found his way in our group. We all connected and bonded so quickly and soon referred to each other as brothers.

The day mum came to adopt us was very emotional. At first she was just going to adopt me until I refused to go without the rest of the boys. Being the sweet woman that she is, she agreed. After loads of paperwork, time, and effort we left for the states, and ... here we are.

Liam and I head up stairs to start on homework while the rest of the boys stay downstairs to watch a movie. When we finish, I head to take a shower.

I then shoot her a quick text.

To Ally ;) :

Hey love do you think you can do me a favor ? xx
