Little Miss Zerrie

Chapter 18

••Sophie's p.o.v.••

After Skyping with Rebecca, everyone was up and uncle Harry made breakfast for everyone. Such a gentleman.

I knew that uncle Niall started to like Lucy when he saw her. You could clearly see it in his eyes. He kept looking at her and smiling. Just like what mummy and daddy do, and uncle Louis and auntie Eleanor. Also, uncle Liam and auntie Dani.

" Sophie ! Foods ready !" Uncle Harry yells to me and I hop off the couch and run into the mini kitchen. The hotel doesn't have that big of kitchen room so we all don't stay in there at one time.

" yay ! Food !" I say and grab my plate and sit at the mini table. I think this is one of the biggest rooms too.. I'm not sure though.

I ate and uncle Liam studied me. I looked at him and saw him looking at me cautiously. " yes ?" I ask and he looks down. " uncle Liam. What ?"

" it's nothing Sophie." He says and walks out of the room.

That was odd. He usually never does that. Only sometimes when he's in a mad mood or something. Okay then..

I put my plate in the garbage and went out by everyone else. It kinda stinks that I'm the only kid but it's also fun because uncle Louis and uncle Niall like to act like kids.

" hey baby. Sleep well ?" Auntie Eleanor asked when I walked jot the room. I nodded and they all smiled at me.

Why is no one talking ? This never happens.. Something is definitely wrong.

" guys ? What's wrong ?" I asked and they all looked at each other. Okay, if they say nothing they are definitely lying.

" uh, nothing. " lie. Lie. Lie. Lie.

" Your lying. " I say and they all gulp. " what's wrong guys ?! Can't I know ? "

" well we have been watching you and you haven't really eaten in a while. Like you have barely eaten. We wanted to make sure you don't feel like you shouldn't eat.. " dad explains and I'm confused.

" I don't understand. I'm eating you guys. I am. I try to eat more, but I can't. " I say and tears filled my eyes.

With my old family, they barley fed me anything. It was probably like a piece of bread or an apple per day. When I joined this family, they fed me A LOT more than I was used to. I never finished my meal because I got full to easily.

" baby. Don't cry." Mum says and picks me up. She sets me on her lap and pulls me into her body. Tears fell from my eyes and everyone was silent.

" baby girl ? " I heard dad say and I weakly look up.

" we are sorry. We never meant to make it a hard subject to talk about. " he apologizes.

" it's okay." I say and lay my head where it was. I could tell they are hurt and mad or whatever at theirselves.

But it's not everyday that you have a little girl show up at your doorstep, looking for a family. She didn't get fed enough so she's skinnier than most kids and doesn't eat that much. She doesn't know much and is scared of men. That almost need happens.. But it happened to them. I feel bad for them having to deal with me. I am over emotional, I get scared a lot, I don't eat as much, I don't know what most things are, I'm shy, and I don't really talk to anyone. I don't know how they can put up with me everyday.

" Sophie. We have to go home tomorrow baby." I heard mum say in my hair.

Going home ? Leaving them ? This is just like before, the hardest part is leaving. I mean, I'd love to come home, but I want them to come with me. It's hard being away from them for so long.
