One Direction's Daughter

Chapter 20

~Arabelle's POV~

"Niall, give me back my cupcake!" Harry screamed as he chased the leprechaun around the room. Niall laughed and stopped to face Harry. Before Harry could say anything, he shoved the whole thing in his mouth, and Harry glared at him. "Not cool, dude."

"Well if it's just sitting there on a table, what do you think I'm going to do with it?" he asked. "I'm me. I'm definitely not going to leave it there, that's for sure."

"Girls, what do you think?" Harry asked, turning to me and Carson. "Should he have left it where it was?"

"Honestly, it was just sitting there," I said, and Niall had that "ha!" look on his face. "But Niall, you should really ask before you take something, just in case it is somebody else's." He hung his head, and I patted his back in mock comfort. We all just burst out laughing.

"Hey guys, where's Savannah?" Lily asked, interrupting everyone's chatter. We all went silent and looked around the room, not seeing her anywhere.

"Was she with us when we walked out of the girls' dressing room?" Louis asked.

"I don't think she was," Carson answered, looking shocked that we didn't know where our band member/sister was.

"When was the last time any of you saw her?" Liam asked. Everyone stopped looking around and started thinking real deep, and then suddenly we came up with something.

"The stage!" we exclaimed together.

"Let's check there first," Paris said. "If she's not there, we'll just get a security guard to look at the security footage to find her." We all nodded and left the room. All 9 of us walked towards the stage, small talk being commuted amongst ourselves to fill the silence, and as soon as we got to the stage I couldn't believe my eyes.

Savannah was still at the stage, alright. That's not what shocked me. What shocked me was who was with her, and it made my blood boil. Savannah was like a sister to me and the whole band, especially after the band formed, and she was about to kiss the guy who broke her heart and left her with the pieces to fix it.

"What is going on?!" Niall demanded, anger clear in his voice. He had told us about comforting her, along with Taylor Swift, the night that Nathan broke her heart. He was really protective of her, and I wouldn't cross him when it came to her.

Savannah and Nathan jumped apart and looked over at us, Savannah's eyes wide in terror at the threatening tone Niall had. Nathan looked like he was about to piss his pants.

"Savannah," I said, and she looked at me. "Come here." She slowly stood up and carefully walked over to me. I grabbed her hand, pulled her along behind me with the other girls trailing behind us to be a part of this, and led her into an empty area. I turned to face her and crossed my arms over my chest to show I meant business.

"Explain, now," Carson said. She looked down at the ground.

"Well, um, I decided that everyone deserves a second chance, including Nathan," she said quietly.

"Why?!" Paris exclaimed. Savannah flinched. "Do you not remember what he did to you?! He tore your heart into millions of pieces, and left you with them to try and fix it yourself!"

"He apologized," she explained, and looked up at us. "He told me about how he's changed, about how he would make sure that he wouldn't hurt me again. And I saw it in his eyes. He was genuinely sorry, and I know when people are or aren't. Trust me, I've grown up with many people who aren't." She looked down again, and I pulled her into my arms.

"If he EVER even tries to do something that will cause you pain again, just tell us ok?" I told her. "We are your family now. We will take care of him." She giggled and nodded.
