My Long Lost Sister

Chapter 16

-Leia- 

At this point, I felt pushed over the edge. Everything about my life was messy, and confusing, and extremely and utterly tiring. I couldn't take anymore of wondering why famous popstar, music sensation Liam Payne invited me to live with him, when I knew he did not like me romantically. I tugged my hair and began chewing on the ends. I sat down at the kitchen table and covered my head in my hands. Think Leia, think. I shuffled my feet, and wrapped my legs around the table. Upstairs, I heard noises which were most likely from the boys, who I knew were fighting because of me. I knew there was some big secret, and I knew it had everything to do with me. I just did not know what. All I knew was that I felt like I was being constantly drowned. Everytime  I thought I knew the answers to this, I felt like my head was being shoved down under all over again. I could not live like this any longer. Whatever Liam and the boys were keeping from me, I needed to find out. 

I quietly walked upstairs, hoping the boys would not hear me. I heard their voices coming from Liams room, as a quietly tip-toed past his doorway and entered mine. Katie was still asleep. Her arm was thrown over her head, and she was in bliss. I walked over to our small desk and pulled out a piece of paper. I began to write down everything that had happened to me. 

  I looked exactly like Liams mom. When she saw me, she was speechless. I am an orphan, with no knowledge of my real family. Liam Payne randomly invited me to live with him. All the boys seem distant from me. There is a secret that they are keeping. 

I took my pencil and pressed it against my temples. What does this mean? My eyes suddenly widened. My head started beating faster, and my hands began to feel sweaty. Do you know that shocking feeling you get when something incredibly unpredictible and terrifying happnens. Like your crossing the street and a car speeds out of nowhere. When you find out that someone very close to you has just died. That feeling that you get when you feel as if time had stopped. And that you were living in some kind of alternate reality. How your blood begin rushing down to your feet, and that you feel as if there is no air left in your lungs. How your body suddenly becomes rock hard, and your mind becomes blank. This is what had happened to me. Was Liam Payne my brother? Did I belong in his family. I once again, covered my face in my now, clammy hands, and tried to pace my breath back together. It could not be. I did not belong in this family. This couldn't be happening. 

Was I Liam Paynes sister? 

Anger boiled in my blood, and I clenched my fist. I needed to find out for sure. I got up the paper I was written was crumpled in my hands. If this was true, I didn't know if I could trust the boys again. How could they keep this from me, even when they knew how miserable I was, because of this. I walked to Liams room and pushed open the door. I saw, Louis, Zayn, Niall and Harry all sitting on the bed their eyes slowly darting to me. 

"Leia....what". 

"WHERES LIAM" I screamed, going inside the room standing in front of them, "WHERE THE HELL IS LIAM". 

"He's gone......" Zayn said, his eyes widening, as he stared at me. 

My face was hot, as more anger began pumping inside of me. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHERE IS HE". 

Niall stood up, and put his hands in the air, "Leia, calm down.....what is it? Why are you mad?". 

I turned around, "why am I mad? IM MAD BECAUSE IM LIAM PAYNES SISTER. AND NONE OF YOU DECIDED TO TELL ME ABOUT IT". 

All the boys' eyes widened. And suddenly my anger turned into sadness, and a little bit of happiness. Dozens of emotions flowed throught my confused brain. If this was the truth, I had a family. I had people that I could count on and love. I had people that I could truly call my own. That is.....if they wanted me. Which, considering the situation showed that they didn't. 

Tears rapidly poured down my cheeks as I faced the boys, "Is that true? Am I Liam Paynes long lost sister". 

This time is was Harry who stepped up. He was in tears as well. He stood in front of me, his eyes meeting mine, the usual shiver entering my body, "we all wanted to tell you Leia, we all wanted you to know.....but Liam wouldn't tell you". 

My voice softened, Harry's gaze, calming me, "why wouldn't he want me to know? Why wouldn't he want me to have a family? Why wouldn't he want me to be happy?" 

Harry touched my hand, and I pulled away, he spoke again, "he didn't know what to do, he was scared this would overwhelm you". 

I bit my lip, "this whole secret was overwhelming me. The whole fact that there were answers to the questions I had not even thought of were out. That was what was overwhelming me". 

Harry turned away, "We're so sorry, Leia". 

I  then turned around left. 

-Louis- 

I looked at the boys, who all looked miserable. Sadness poured through me, and I felt myself almost about to cry. I never cried. Ever. But seeing this amazing girl in so much pain, I couldn't handle this. 

I made eye contact with Harry, who walked up to me, and hugged me. I patted him on the back. Zayn and Niall looked pretty horrible as well.

Zayn ran his hand through his hair, "we should have told her".

Harry broke apart from me, "we're so stupid".

"I'm going to kill Liam" I just said.

"Did you see her face?" Zayn spoke up, "she looked miserable".

 "The only people we can blame for her sadness, is us" I said, "we did this, and now we need to fix it".

"I can't believe we put such an amazing girl through this.......everytime I think about it I feel even more horrible"..

"We need to talk to her" Niall said, "we need her to know that we care about her, and that we want her to be happy".

I nodded, Niall was right. She probably felt as if, we didn't tell her because Liam felt as if she wasn't good enough to be her sister. She probably felt worthless. Leia was anything but that.

"I think Louis should do it" Harry said.

I looked at me. I knew Harry liked her......I knew how much he actually cared for her, even though he would not admit it. I knew how much he truly felt for her.

But I knew Leia and I, were very close. And that I could make her feel better. I looked at all the boys dead in the eye, and walked out of the room looking for Leia. I walked to her room, and peeked through the doorway, trying to catch a glimpse of Leia. When she wasn't there, I walked to all the rooms on the second floor, and had no luck. My insides began to pump. Where was she? Where did she go?  I then checked downstairs. But she was not there.

Leia was gone.  

AN: I'm sooooo sorry. I've had no time to update lately, and I know this was a short chapter. I promise I'll update at least once a week from now one. 

I hope you liked it
