The New Kid :\\ n.h. au

It's Now or Never

Erica~

"Erica, they're here! Come downstairs!" Zayn called

"I'm having second thoughts about this..." I confessed to Niall

"Hey, it's now or never.." Niall said holding my hand

"But what if this is the wrong choice?" I asked him

"Well, there is only one way to find out.." He said and dragged me to the living room where there were two police officers sitting on the couch talking to Harry and Zayn, Liam and Lou were in the kitchen I suppose

I gulped, "h-hello o-office-officers.." I stuttered like a mad man

"Hello Erica, I'm Officer Bud, and this is my partner, Officer Dave, don't be scared, we just want to help you. The boys told us most of the story and why we were called here. Is that alright with you?" The one with brown hair and blue eyes asked sitting next to a guy with red hair and green eyes

I nodded quickly and sat next to Niall on the couch right across from them

"Now we just have a few questions, are you ready?" Officer Dave asked, I nodded again

"How long has this abuse been going on?"

"Since she was caught with cocaine and my little brothers were taken away years ago."

"Is she intoxicated when she does this?"

"Y-yea..."

"Does she verbally abuse you? or physically?"

"Both actually, uh, she attacks me for no reason really, she just hits me an-and um.." The walls were closing in on me ".. I'm sorry." I got up and ran to Harry's bathroom locking myself in sliding back first down the door hugging my knees, I heard footsteps but ignored them

"Erica?" Liam knocked semi loudly

"Go away.." I mumbled

"Come finish the questions now."

"Can't you do it? Or what about the boys, cause I mean you did tell them." I huffed

"Erica, you need to know that I did it because I care about you. Please open the door!?" He yelled

"No.." I sniffled

"Erica, please!." He begged loudly

I sighed and moved unlocking the door just to make him shut up, Liam quickly came in closing it, sliding right next to me, he seemed a little off

"You know I love you." He said, he kinda slurred actually

"Liam you told them one of my biggest secrets." I said looking at him

"So? You told me! We are all family!"

"Liam, stop being so loud, the only reason you know is because you saw it. If you didn't see my mom hit me and such, I can almost guarantee you wouldn't know."

"So you mean.. You wouldn't tell anyone about this. No one at all?" He started to get angry

"Yes.."

"What about Niall? You told him!"

"My brothers already told his mom and his mom told him!"

"So?!"

"I didn't know they were going to! I had no say in it!"

"Stop making this about you!"

"Liam! What the actual hell is your problem!"

"All you do is complain about your mom and how she 'abuses you'"

"Liam, you know that's not true. I never talk about my mom unless someone asks me to! Even then I barley do!... Wait, are-are you drunk?"

"Maybe!"

"LIAM GET AWAY FROM ME!" {no hate on Liam guys, I just needed someone to get drunk}

"Why should I?"

"You know how I feel about drinking and people being mad! That's when she hurts me!"

"There we go again, all you do is complain about yourself!"

"I'm leaving.."

I ran downstairs and checked for the police officers, they weren't there anymore

I know what your saying, I must be crazy because I let Lou be drunk and I help him. But Lou doesn't get mad when he's drunk. He never has. Lou is a very happy drunk, and he would never hurt a fly

I ran to the kitchen, tears streaming down my face. Why did Liam of all people get drunk?

I walked into the kitchen and there were vodka bottles, empty vodka bottles

"Hey Babe! Wanna drink?" I snapped my head to Lou, half passed out on the floor

I ran away crying even harder looking for Zayn, Niall, or Harry

I got out my phone and called Harry, no answer

I called Zayn, no answer

I called Niall, no answer

I cried even harder, if that was even possible and went into Harry's car, locking the door, there were no keys of course, but I guess here will do

I laid down the seat and closed my eyes, drifting off into a dreamless sleep
