Sister Payne (n.h.)

Chapter Eight

Liam's P.O.V.

        It had been a good thirty minutes since Sky left for her walk. Personally, I was extremely worried. I thought that it would be a quick walk, she said she didn't feel well, so why would she go out for a half hour walk?

        "I think we should go try to find her. She does't feel well and she's been gone for a long time." Niall said. Okay, good I'm not the only one who's worried.

        "Yeah, let's go. Louis, Zayn, Harry are you guys coming with us?" I asked as I got my car keys.

        The three nodded and we all went out of the house and into the car. I'm not sure where I should drive to, but I hope we find her.

        "I think I'm going to go drive around where our mum lives. She might be somewhere around there." Everyone just nodded.

        Everyone was silent. I looked beside me to the passenger's seat where Zayn sat, he was looking all around, alleys, driveways, anywhere. I looked in the rear view mirror at the three other boys. Harry looked quite nervous, while Niall sat nervously biting his nails, Louis was doing the same as Zayn and was frantically looking around. I was just about to pass my mum's house, when all of a sudden Louis started to scream.

        "LIAM. LIAM! STOP! SOMETHING IS GOING ON IN THAT ALLEY! LOOK!" I looked over in the alley to see what Louis was shouting about. Sure enough, there were three males all surrounding a girl.

        "Liam, I think that's Sky! Look you can see her hair in the bun! And that's her jumper! C'mon we gotta go help her!" Harry shouted while getting out of the car. I quickly put the car in park and followed him, along with the rest of the boys.

        The scene that was unfolding in front of me was absolutely terrifying. The three guys were grabbing at my sister, and the one directly in front of her was forcing her to kiss him. I was about to knock the guy kissing her right off of her, but Niall beat me to it. He tackled the guy to the ground and started to punch him. Harry grabbed one of the guys and Louis got the other. Zayn was on the phone with the police I assumed. I quickly rushed up to Skyler, as she dropped to the ground. I pulled her up into my arms and took her back to the car along with Zayn.

Niall's P.O.V.

        Once I saw the guy kissing her, I lost it. I rushed out of the car and tackled him to the ground. I started to punch the shit out of him. He tried to hit me back, but I avoided all of his punches. I was only focused on him at that moment, I had no idea of anything else going on around me. The guy who I was punching all of a sudden gave me a sinister smile.

        "She liked it. You know she did. She's such a little tease. She's just using you for whatever she can get from you. Like she does me. She uses me so she can get weed. Why do you think she came out here to meet me? The little bitch got what she deserved." he said to me. I wiped that smile right off his face. I punched him square in the jaw.

        "SHUT THE HELL UP!" I kept punching him. I didn't even realize the police arrived. I could faintly hear Liam screaming from the car for Harry, Louis, and I. I got one more punch in. I hit him straight in the nose. He's not smiling now.

        When we got back to the car, Zayn had Skyler on his lap with his arms around her. I would probably be jealous if this situation hadn't just happened. I was too consumed in my thoughts to even hear what Liam and Sky were saying to each other. Why was she meeting that guy for weed? Why did she even need it?

        I looked down at my bloody knuckles for the rest of the ride home. There was nothing but silence. Upon arriving at the house, I quickly jumped out. I just need to have some space to think about all of this. I feel like it's my fault that it all happened. I should've just went with her. Damn it why didn't I go? Or follow her? I'm such an idiot.

        I ran straight up to my room. I have to talk to Sky later about the whole thing. I need to understand why she was going to do that.

Skyler's P.O.V.

        Liam took me off Zayn's lap and carried me into the house and to my room. He laid me down on my bed and sat beside me. The boys all came into my room, except Niall. Where was Niall? I was kind of hoping Niall would come in to comfort me.

        "Boys, can I have time with my sister please?" Liam asked. The three of them all nodded and left the room, closing the door behind them.

        "Listen, Sky, I know that you just went through a lot, but why? Why did you go meet those boys there?"

        "Because I knew I could get a hit from him. Please don't be mad at me. I really really want to quit. I was just so confused and stressed and I didn't know how to deal with it. I didn't know the guy, Alex, was going to bring any friends. Liam, I'm so sorry. I'll never do it again. I swear. Please don't hate me." I was full on sobbing during my confession to Liam. He quickly pulled me into a hug. He was silently crying into my shoulder.

        "Skyler, I could never hate you. I love you so much. Please just never do that again. There are other ways to deal with stress. You can always come and talk to me. Or any of the boys. I know Zayn thinks of you as a little sister, and the rest of the boys love and care for you so much. Please just never, ever, do that again." Liam said while looking me in the eyes. We were both still crying.

        "Li, can I tell you something?"

        "Of course, Sky."

        I pulled apart from the embrace. I was getting myself ready for my confession to Liam. I was finally going to tell my brother why I had started going down this path.

        "I've always felt like the shit child compared to you, Liam. That's why I started to drink and smoke. You always had such great success. With sports, singing, and just seemed like the perfect child. I felt like I was such a disappointment to mum. But now I totally regret everything. From basically disowning you to all the trouble I've gotten into. I'm so sorry Liam." Liam started to sob at my confession.

        "Skyler. You aren't a disappointment, you just were led down a bad path. Mum and I love you so much, it's unreal. Please if you ever need anything, just come talk to me. You aren't a shit child, and I am far from perfect. I think you should get some rest, yeah? It's only six, but I think you should rest. So, goodnight. I love you so much." he hugged me one more time and got up from my bed.

        "Okay, goodnight. I love you too LiLi." I fell asleep almost instantly.

I liked having some of the boy's P.O.V.'s when the whole alley thing happened.
