Chapter 9

Julie’s P.O.V

"Well I think I'll start..." Destinee said quietly.

"It started when my grandma died so I had to go live with my bitch of a mom, she's not really a mom. Never was and still isn't." Destinee's voice cracked.

"But after living with her for five years and being neglected and abused, my aunt finally convinced me to call CPS on her. They came and picked me up, from then I went and lived with my uncle and his new wife, Princess, and her son, Christian."

"It was okay there but we did have our disagreements. Everything was fine until I reached high school. I started dating this guy at the beginning of the year, he was so cute, but he didn't like the idea of Julie and I on tour for months at a time. He would call me names at first before he started hitting me, then he would say he's sorry, he loves me and will never do it again. Which was a lie, he did it many times before we eventually broke up. And I got pregnant with Jedidiah later on." Destinee cleared her throat before giving me a look of 'say a word about what really happened and I will kill you'. I gave a small curt nod, without anyone noticing but Destinee.

"Julie continue." Destinee said as she stole a chip from Niall, leaving him horrified.

"Well okay, breathe Niall, sure." My voice came out weak as I rubbed Niall's hand as he stared at Destinee shocked.

"My mom basically dumped me on my grandparents to raise me, she came back to get me when I was seven and we moved out of the state, she remarried some man that basically abused and neglected me, she ended up getting pregnant with my sister, Vada. I was forced to take care of her, I didn't mind, I loved her. They spilt a year later, which means she dumped me back with my grandparents." I said quietly.

"Things were okay for a while until my grandpa got sick, my grandma went to work more, my grandpa was cramped up in his room doing nothing. I wasn't taking any of it well, so when he died, I was on tour and they didn't tell me until I got home and they weren't the ones to tell me. My family wasn't living in our home anymore, the new family told me they only knew that the old man that previously lived there, had died. I was so upset, that they offered for me to stay there until I found somewhere to go. I knew where I was going to, I was fixing to come on this tour so I decide to talk to Destinee about moving to London, getting as far away as I could." I spoke softly.

"Then everything with my sister was horrible. How could someone just give a human being to a monster and let her not have mom? I felt crushed, torn to pieces. When I found out she was going to the horrible mother to take Vada I had to do something, I raised her and my mom was not fixing to ruin another child. I don't know what else to say now I'm all pissed." I threw my hands in the air in defeat.

"Dear lord, why are some people so horrible?" Louis said, his voice completely traced with anger.

"I don't know but I'm glad it's all over." Destinee and I said in unison, before Martian came back to take our orders.

Destinee's P.O.V (Later that day)

"Babe, can we talk?" Harry said slowly as we walked into my apartment.

"Sure, is it good or bad?" I asked pulling against our holding hands.

"Good, I think. It's about Jedidiah." Harry said softly.

"Okay, what about Jedidiah?" I asked as we made it to the couch.

"I want to meet him."

"Why?" I asked as my face automatically made a face like the 'no face'.
