"Amber, leave now!" I yell before my father's fist comes in contact with my face. I grunt and struggle to push him away.

"Harry!" Amber shrieks with fear.

"Amber, leave!" I shout. She's doesn't move.

My father pushes me down. He starts kicking me repeatedly. I yell in pain. "AMBER! GO!!!!"

"I'm not gonna leave you here!!!" She yells. It sounds like she's crying.

I hear sirens. My dad's attention turns to Amber. "YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!" He starts walking toward her. No. I won't let him get to her!

Before he can take one more step, I kick his leg making him fall. I stand up carefully. Amber runs to me. I hold her in my arms.

"Why is he doing this?" Amber's muffled voice says.

"I... I don't know..." I say honestly.

Our dad gets up looking at us. "I'M DOING IT FOR YOU!!!!" The police come in and take him away.

"Kids... You're father was only trying to do you a favor!" Mom says before she also is taken away by the police.

Amber and I turn to each other rapidly. "What do they mean that it was a favor?" Amber asks.

"Why did dad say he was doing it for us?" We both look at each other confused.

What did our dad mean? Why was he even here? What does he know?

.................

Amber's POV:

"I-I... Well we should... G-Go..." Harry stutters.

I snap out of my thoughts. "Go where?" What? I just experienced my brother getting beaten up my dad, having both my parents arrested, and them both saying they beat Harry up for us. You'd be a little out of it too!

"To the band meeting..." Harry says with a 'duh' face.

"Oh, right... Hehe... Sorry. Forgot." Yeah, I forgot 'cause I was re-living hell a few minutes ago.

We get into Harry's car (cause uh... I kinda failed my driver's test... A few times... Maybe four... Or five...) and go over to Niall's house, since his house is the biggest.

Okay, so I'm not all that psyched to go to his place, I think you could understand why... I mean come on. Who would want to go to their ex-boyfriend's house where you could've gotten pregnant? Not me.

We make it to his house a few minutes later. "Everyone's in the basement," says his mom who gives me a slight smile. As we go down, I see Louis in the corner, Liam and Zayn on the sofa talking, and Niall in a chair making out with a reddish-brownish haired girl whose hair is curled. Looks a little more brown than red, but whatev- wait who the hell is that girl?!

Harry goes over to Liam and Zayn, fist bumping them both. I, on the other hand, say a slight hello and walk over to Louis, hugging him still scared and confused.

He puts his arms around me. "Hey." He kisses my head. "You okay? You didn't answer your phone."

I look up at him then at Niall and that girl. The girl is now sitting on his lap. I stare at her face. It can't be...

"Yeah... Uh. Niall and Rose are like a thing now..." Louis says so only I can hear. R-Rose? Did he just say ROSE?!

I look at Harry who doesn't seem to notice. Then, my attention goes to Rose.

She notices me staring. "What are you looking at, freak?!"

"Babe, calm down." Niall says.

"I don't want that, that THING staring at me! If she were pretty then maybe I'd be okay with it! But she's not! She's just a little ugly freak! Why is she even here?!"

"Because she's Harry's sister and my BEAUTIFUL girlfriend." Louis says, his arms around my waist.

"You deserve SO much better than her! She's a freakin' slut!" Rose screams across the room.

I know I shouldn't let her get to me. But she must've threatened them or something. She had to be a part of that. Didn't she? I feel tears start to form in my eyes.

"Oh, and I know about your parents going to prison! They're criminals! They beat up your innocent brother! I'm surprised they didn't beat you!"

"How do you know about that? Did you they said they did it for us too?! What the hell is your problem!?! Why are messing up my life?!?! What did I ever do to you!!!" I raise my voice.

"DON'T SCREAM AT ME! I DID YOU A FAVOR! I TOLD THEM TO BEAT YOU AND POSSIBLY KILL YOU TO GET THEM ARRESTED! I DID YOU A FAVOR!" She did it. She made them.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH!!!! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GOT THEM TAKEN AWAY!!!!!!!!" I snap at her.

"I DID YOU A FAVOR! I KNOW ABOUT HOW YOUR FATHER SLEPT WITH FIVE OTHER GIRLS! AND HOW ONE DAY YOU AND HARRY AND YOUR MOM WALKED IN ON HIM! I KNOW THAT YOUR MOM IS A SICK SICK DRUNK AND SO IS YOUR PATHETIC DAD!!!!"

That's it... I removed myself from Louis' arms and ran out the back door, tears pouring out of my eyes. I hear the faint voice of Louis calling my name. I just keep running. Then, it starts down pouring, so I find a close bench and sit down. I cry, letting the rain soak me. How does she know all that? Was she stalking me? Was she there? Whatever, all that matters now is that it was her. She was the one who made it all happen... It was all Rose...

Louis' POV:

What the hell was Rose and Amber talking about? Is all that true? Wait, where'd she go? I saw her run out, but I don't know where she went.

I should probably go find her. I mean she IS my girlfriend... Oh, look it's raining... "Hey, uh Niall? Do you have an umbrella?"

"Uh, yeah, man! It's right by the door!" He says with Rose still in his lap smirking.

"Oh..." Duh, I feel so stupid. I glare at Rose, then take the umbrella and grab my leather jacket putting it on.

I run out opening the umbrella. I have absolutely no idea where Amber is and she won't answer her phone.

A few hours or minutes later, hey, don't blame me for not paying attention to the time! I'm tryin' to find my girl! Anyway a few minutes, I guess, pass by. Ugh, where is she?

I start to hear soft, quiet sobs from a girl nearby. A girl with brunette hair is sitting there in a little ball crying.

I tap her shoulder. "Amber?" I say softly, not to startle her.

She looks up, her eyes wet, red, and puffy from crying. Her make up smeared on her cheeks. Her breath shaky. "L-L-Louis?" She manages to choke out.

"Oh my god." I hug her tightly. "Are you okay?" I ask with her still in my arms.

"Do I look okay, Louis?!" She snaps.

OFFENSIVE! "Wo-ah! Calm down! I'm just trying to be supportive!" I realized that I'm not sitting down, so I sit down next to her on the bench. There's no space between us at ALL. "I'm innocent I tell you! I'M INNOCENT!" I joke.

She giggles. Oh, how I've missed that. That and her smile... "Louis..." She nudges me playfully.

"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!" My childish, goofy self says.

She laughs again making me smile. Her smile fades slowly as she lifts her head to make her eyes meet mine.

I lean in and kiss her, completely forgetting about the umbrella that I ACCIDENTALLY wacked her in the head with. Hehe. Woops... "Heh..." I sigh. I put the umbrella down and hook it on the bench. Yes, it's like one of those old fashioned umbrellas that no one has used in a thousand and one years because now new and improved technology has taken over.

I place my hand on her cheek and kiss her again. She giggles, but then kisses back. I mumble the words 'I love you' against her soft, pink lips. She plasters a GORGEOUS smile on her face.

"I love you too, Louis." She says sweetly.
