Evelyn's POV

I packed my suitcases tight and sighed as I got ready to leave California. I checked myself in the mirror and touched up the foundation that hid the bruises. I fixed my ebony hair that fell down to my shoulder blades I quickly slipped on a soft blue camisole top and dark blue skinny jeans, as I was fixing my makeup I heard a knock at the door.

"Evelyn, darling hurry up we don't want to miss our flight to London," called my mother.

My mother had re married after my father's death. She married no one other than, Harry Styles dad.

Yes, the Harry Styles, the heartthrob from the hot British and Irish boy band, One Direction. I’ve known Harry since I was about nine so it wasn’t weird to have a celebrity as an older brother. So he and the rest of the boys have been like brothers to me. Now I was on my way to London to reunite with them after a year of separation. I was so happy but no expression showed on my face. The past year had been pretty rough for me, and even though I told the boys everything and talked to them almost every day. This is the one secret that I felt was worth keeping. Especially from Harry, besides from the boys, he never let any boy get near me. He was so protective and I loved it, sometimes. I yanked my suit case off my bed, the guys were off tour for four months and I was going to spend every moment with them.

I dragged myself downstairs and found my beautiful mother standing there; she looked nothing like me, since I looked more like my dad. She had curly blonde hair that fell just above her shoulders, a rich tan, and was extremely tall, even without heels on. While I on the other hand was a short 5’6’’ I had long black hair, my skin never wanted to keep a tan so I was light skinned, and had big emerald eyes. I guess that was the one thing I liked about myself. I smiled and ran out the door, okay so maybe I was a little anxious to see them again. But can I be blamed; I haven't seen them in over a year. I got the news a few months ago that I was finally going to be able to live with Harry and the boys.

I used to live with them when I was fourteen but my mom got a job transfer and we had to move. At fifteen Harry went off to the X Factor, and well you know that story. We saw each other up until last year, his schedule got extremely busy and he was on tour so the visits came to a halt. The good thing was that we Skyped, texted, or called each other almost every day. I kept in touch with the others too, like I said, they’re my brothers.

 As the taxi took us to the airport and my old home disappeared quickly behind us my mother turned and looked at me.

"You have been going really heavy with the make up lately Evelyn, you need to take it easy," my mother criticized as she giggled quietly to herself.

"So I can't be a teenager mom? I mean I'm sixteen I should be allowed to wear as much or as little make up as I want," I argued back to my mother.

She sighed, "I guess you're right," she said as she pulled me in close for a hug and kissed my temple. I winced in pain as she kissed a bruise right in the sore spot. But I kept a straight face; I had to put on my greatest performance tonight.

Harry's POV

I bounced up and down on my toes as I waited for Evelyn and my step mom to arrive.

"Harry if you bounce anymore you'll create a hole in the floor," Niall joked as he punched my arm playfully. I knew he was just as excited to see Evelyn, probably even more since he had a crush on her. But as soon as Evelyn told him she had a boyfriend, he resorted back to liking her in secret. Liam, Louis, and Zayn were back at house to surprise her and Niall tagged along with me to see Evelyn. After a few minutes of standing and waiting, I spotted her in the distance.

"Niall, hold up the sign," I said as I slapped him on the arm. He lifted the sign that Louis and Liam had made together, it said "Welcome Evelyn" in bright big blue letters. Evelyn was oblivious to us and I looked up at the sign to see that Niall was holding it upside down.

"Um, Niall, wrong way dumb ass," I said jokingly. He furrowed his brow and dropped the sign to his eyes.

"Oh that explains a lot," Niall said as I chuckled at his stupidity. He held the sign up high this time the right way. I watched Evelyn, she saw the sign after a moment, and she smiled, but something was different. Her eyes didn't sparkle and her smiled seemed forced. Her face seemed haggard and tired; maybe it was just from the plane ride. She rushed into my arms breaking me from my train of thought. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her temple, I could feel her wince in pain. I stepped back and let Niall have a turn and gave my step mom, Angela, a hug she tussled my hair and Niall and I helped them carry their bags to the car. I kept looking back at Evelyn, something was different, something was wrong. The whole ride Evelyn was pretty quiet except when Niall made her laugh. At least Niall was good for something. Finally we reached the house and Evelyn's forced smile came back. I knew the boys would be waiting for her, ready to maul her with their hugs. I hoped she would show at least one true smile, maybe a glimpse into the past Evelyn, the one I knew and loved. I knew Niall could tell to because he had been texting me his concerns the whole ride back. We were both worried and scared for Evelyn.

Liam's POV

I was the first one to give Evelyn a bear hug. I laughed and pulled away then I noticed the dullness in her normal electric green eyes. Her skin was covered up by foundation and it made me wonder what happened to her. I pulled Harry aside from the rest of the group, when we were out of ear shot I began to ask my questions.

"What happened to her mate, something’s not right?"

Harry sighed and placed his head in his hands, "I don't know but I'm finding out tonight. I know Evelyn she's not one to keep secrets. I'll find everything out okay mate?" I nodded, Harry was protective. Hell, when Niall was all crazy for her he wouldn't let them be in the same room together. The rest of the guys were still chatting with Evelyn and I could tell they spotted the same expression on their face they sensed it too. Evelyn and I had been best friends for the longest time; I want to make sure she's okay. But tomorrow we were going to the beach so maybe the real Evelyn would come out.

Harry's POV

I took Evelyn's hand and lead her to the top floor of the house. We walked past a few doors until we reached the end of the hall were Evelyn's room was. She walked inside and I followed behind her and shut the door behind me. I leaned my back against the door and hit my head against the door.

"So, you want to tell me what's going on?"

"What do you mean," Evelyn asked as she set down her bags.

"Everyone knows something is different about you, you plastered make up across your face. Look I'm your brother I should have the right to know what's going on."

"I am fine Harry, trust me. It's just jet lag. I'll be fine in the morning." She pushed me out the door and locked it behind her. I know she's hiding something, and I'll figure it out. I should talk with the lads maybe they'll know what to do to get her to talk. Okay, it's time for a group meeting.
