Chapter 30~Africa And Pizza

Niall's POV

"Tasha, I want you to come here a minute please." I shouted through the bus. In a few moments Tasha was sitting next to me smiling.

"What do you want?" Tasha asked, she was smiling up at me.

"I'd like you to watch these videos, I know these are really sad but you need to watch them, maybe you could do your speech on this instead of animal cruelty?" I suggest clicking on the Google Chrome icon on my MacBook.

"No, dad you know I hate seeing these videos, please don't make me watch it!" Tasha said pulling her jumper over her head so she couldn't see.

"I know you hate them Princess, I just think it'd be a great thing to do your speech on, plus you have personal knowledge. We'll watch one then tell me how it makes you feel okay?" I reasoned with her. She pulled her jumper from her face and nodded. I clicked play and it was the video of the lads and I in Africa when we saw the kids only just living because they didn't have that one vaccine they needed.

"Dad, why do people have to live like this?" Tasha asked as the ad begun playing and I couldn't skip it.

"I don't know Sweetheart, I wish I did but I don't, it's so sad." I said, Tasha was sat next to me, I had one arm wrapped around her shoulders as she had her head snuggling into my side but she could still see. She was holding my fingers and just playing with them a bit, nervous. I knew Tasha didn't like these videos, seeing these children in such poor condition, effectively skin and bones, almost dead, when really they should be healthy, alive, not on their deathbeds when their lives have only just begun.

"I don't like this." Tasha said as soon as the ad finished. She held onto my hand and tensed as the first child came onto the screen. This child was weak, it was terrible.

"It's okay, it's okay." I comforted Tasha by rubbing up and down on her arm. She cuddled closer as Louis began speaking.

'Are you the babies mother?' he asked the woman holding this limp child.

'Grandmother, I'm the babies grandmother.' The woman replied, her voice hoarse.

'Where's the babies mother?' Louis asked, everyone knew the answer to the question, it was devastating.

'The mother is dead.' The woman told him. He just nodded, then it was me on the screen.

I walked up to a woman with a baby in her arms, presumably hers. I said hello and found out what was wrong, I don't know how she could be so strong, I mean the poor woman, that's her baby, near death. I had cried a lot that day. I was tearing up in front of the woman and soon left, I cried for quite a while in that corridor, it was so heartbreaking, but it was an incredible trip, one I will remember for the rest of my life.

Next it was Zayn and he was in tears, it was so sad. Then it was the little baby that had malaria. The bottom of his feet were white and so was his palms and fingers. Harry and Liam were in tears too. It's horrible to see stuff like this.

The video was soon over, I looked down to Tasha who was crying silently. I placed a kiss on the top of her head. "Please don't make me watch another one." Tasha begged, her voice was hardly audible from how much she was crying.

"What were you thinking when you were watching this?" I asked after she had calmed down.

"I hate them, they are so sad and the kids haven't done anything wrong, I find the videos disturbing as I hate seeing poor kids suffer like that, I hate them so much. It's so unfair on them kids, it only cost five pounds for one vaccine to save their lives." Tasha told me. I nodded and soon Harry and Zayn walked in. Tasha jumped up and gave Zayn a huge hug.
