The girl next door

Uncle si part 2

Melanie pov

Everybody looked at me and uncle si with shocked looks. That's when I noticed 4 other boys were in the room and 2 very well dressed people who to were shocked. And 1 person who I know all too well.

"What the fuck is going??"a boy with blonde hair asked. His accent was actually pretty cool. I've always liked Irish accents for some odd reason.

"Uh lads and ladies this is my niece Melanie Cooper"he chuckled.

"Unfortunately uncle sissy here had to grow up with my mom"I said. Simon playfully glared at me when I said uncle sissy. I couldn't say Simon when I was little so I just called him sissy and it stuck.

"Same old Melanie how's your dad"dad and uncle si would get along pretty well but he stopped visiting after mom left.

My eyes started to burn and there was a lump in my throat. I started blinking fast so the tears wouldn't fall.

"Dad is uh dad is"Harry interrupted me.

"So simon why did you call us here"he asked.

"Oh yeah as you know your 2014 tour is coming up we have yet to arrange some dates but we have set some but not too many. You have an interview next week ,a photo-shoot , 2 meet and greets, along with wardrobe fittings for the tour."I just sat there feeling awkward Gemma was on my left and Harry on my right. I guess he knew how awkward I felt because he grabbed my hand. He does this a lot when we watch a movie, when Gemma him and I are just walking around, or when he thinks I'm not paying attention. But I never have the nerve nor do I want to let go of his hand. His hands are soft and how they fit perfectly with mine. His hands are bigger than mine but it feels right. How I feel little tingles when they touch. How he rubs my hand with his hand or when he makes shapes on the top of my hand with his pointer finger. Or how he kisses my hand. It feels like bliss. But I'm pretty sure he only does that so I won't freak out. He probably just sees me as his sisters best friend plus he would never love me cause like I said before love doesn't exist well at least for me it doesn't.

"Melanie can I speak to you for a second"uncle Si asked. I nodded and let go of Haz's hand. He frowned a little but just as fast as he showed it he hid it.

I followed uncle Si to the next room over which was a recording room.

"So Mel what's happened over the years"he asked.

"Not much actually. I got a scholarship to Juilliard, I graduated early with honours and that's pretty much it"I tried avoiding the subject about my dad. It's still a little touchy for me.

"And your dad"he asked. Whoop there it is. The question I dread the most. I started feeling a lump in my throat. I guess uncle si noticed because he wrapped me in a hug and started rubbing my back soothingly.

"Shhh it's okay.... Shhh I know sweet heart I know..... I miss him too"after I heard all of that I shoved him away from me.

"THEN WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU ASK ME HOW MY DAD IS YOU ASSHOLE?!?!"I yelled. I was mad. If he knows about my dad why the freak would he ask me about him?!?!

"Mel you can't hold it in. Your mom is wor-"I cut him off.

"DONT TELL ME THAT MY WHORE OF A MOM IS WORRIED THATS A LOAD OF SHIT AND YOU FUCKING KNOW THAT!!! IM NOT HOLDING IT IN I DONT LIKE TALKING ABOUT IT!!!"he steps closer to me but I step back away from him.

"Mel-"

"DID YOU KNOW I WAS IN THE CAR WHEN WE CRASHED!?! DID YOU KNOW I WAS THERE HOLDING HIS HAND WHEN HE TOOK HIS LAST BREATH"he shook his head no.

"EXACTLY SO DONT TELL ME YOU KNOW BECAUSE YOU DONT!!"I shoved past him and slammed the door on my way out.

Harry pov

We heard the screaming coming from the next room over. Next thing we heard was a door slam with a loud bang. I started to stand up to go after her when Liam spoke up.

(A/N I love all of 1D so no hate for this it's just part of the story)

"What a brat she is"he said. The lads laughed. I looked at him glaring. Gemma looked like she was going to smack him. Nobody I mean nobody messes with Gemma when it comes to her family and friends. And Melanie is part of our family.

"Harry how can you stand her?? She seems like a handful"Louis asks.

"I feel bad for her parents! I feel bad for whoever marries her"Zayn said. I feel bad for Perrie then since she has to marry you.

"Shut up"Gemma said through gritted teeth.

"What was that Gemma??"Niall joked. Okay that's it. I stood up and lunged at him. But Paul held me back. Wait when did he get here??

"She may seem like a brat to you but she has gone through more than you guys ever will in your lifetime!!"

"Choosing a cunt over us Harry!!"Niall yelled.

"She's talentless! She will never be loved!"Liam kept yelling. Well this escalated fast. And why the hell did he say she was talentless. What does that have to do with anything??

"She has more talent then we all have combined!! And she is loved by me!!"Gemma slapped all 4 lads on the face twice. Gemma walked out of the room with her head held high and strutted out like the sassy girl she sometimes is. I followed behind her and Paul did too.

"Let's go find her"he said."Simon told me about her and trust me I wanted to hurt them too but I can't"I smiled at him while Gemma took her phone out and tracked down Mel.

"Good thing she hasn't turned off her gps on her phone"we got in a car and drove to what seemed like an abandoned park. We got of the car and we heard quiet sobs. As we made out way inside we saw a girl on the rusty swing set. As we got closer I noticed it was Mel.

"Mel??"I asked. She looked up and ran into my arms. Gemma looked at me and winked.

"Shhh Mel......shhhhh it's okay I'm here Gemma's here and we aren't going anywhere shhh come on let it out"I eventually carried her bridal style to the car. Gemma sat in the front this time while Paul drove. Mel was still crying and my shirt was starting to feel wet but I don't care at this point. I just want the giggly,bubbly, joking Melanie back. I would kill to see her smile again.

I started humming little things while I rocked her back and forth. After a while she fell asleep. She had tear tracks on her cheeks. The tip of her nose red. Her eyes a little swollen and red. Her cheeks were a little red.

Paul dropped us off at my flat and I carried Melanie inside. I set her gently in the guest bedroom but she had a good grip on me so I laid down beside her where she cuddled up beside me and she had a small smile on her face.

"You may be my brother but you hurt her i will definitely chop off your dick"Gemma said sternly.

"Who said I would hurt her"

"Just saying but then again you don't have a dick so you have nothing to worry about"she joked. I playfully glared at her. She put her hands up in surrender and walked out of the room. I put one of my arms around Melanie's shoulders while the other was around her waist. I looked at the clock and it was late and I eventually fell asleep.
