Protecting Amy

Chapter 6

Chapter 6

~~~(Sarah's POV)

"Abug." I said quietly.

"Mommy." Amy whispered, and she looked up at me. Her eyes were filled with tears and her cheeks were flushed. She's about to break down. I ran toward her and picked her up. She cried into my shirt. Horrible, gut wrenching sobs came from her shaking body.

"Amy, it's alright. You're gonna be fine. Shhh baby. S'alright. Calm down." I whispered in her ear.

After a short period of time, her sobs quieted and she looked up at me. I didn't care that there was still pepolpe in the room. I looked at my sister with concern and fear. With this happening so fast, she is so weak. She is so young and innocent, but her childhood has been a sorrowful place.

I didn't realize I was crying until someone whiped my cheeks. I looked down at the small child in my lap and gaze a small smile. She did the same, before curling into my chest and closing her eyes. We sat like that for a few minutee, that is until I heard soft snores.

I looked down and saw my little angel asleep in my arms. I stood up slowly, being careful not to drop her, and turned around. Five boys were looking at us with pity, and....sorrow? I shrugged it off and looked at Zayn.

His brown eyes met mine and he smiled warmly. I did my best to return the gesture, but my smile was fake and he could tell. I turned and walked towards my room with Amy still sleeping in my hold. I kissed my sisters' cheek, before I pulled back the covers.

She curled into a ball once I put her down. She looked so peacefull and happy in her sleep. I walked over towards the door and stepped into the hallway. The living room was empty and Talia had gone to the store. Great.

I wonder where the boys are? Did they leave? He left me again? It can't beleive it. I tell him important news, he says he will always protect me, and then he leaves. Why did I think it would be different this time? I'm so vulnerable and weak. I hate it.

"Sarah? Are you alright?" A familiar voice asked.

I jumped. "You scared me. Umm, I forgot your name." I said and took a sudden interest in my feet.

"Sorry love. I didn't mean to frighen ya. Zayn told me to make ure you're alright." He said.

"Alright, but I still don't know your name." I replied looking up.

The blonde boy smiled at me, "I'm Niall Horan. Pleasure to meet ya!" He said excitedly, and extended his hand.

"Well Niall, I'm Sarah. It's a pleasure to meet you to!" I said with just as much enthusiasim, and shook his hand.

He grinned at me and pulled me into a hug. I was shocked at first, but quickly recovered and hugged him back. He's very forward isn't he? I hope the other guys are friendly like him. After a short moment, we pulled apart and his blue eyes twinkled a little in the light.

"So where did the rest of the guys go?" I broke the silence.

"They went out to party. Zayn wanted to get his mind off of things, and he said you don't drink." He answered and looked at me shyly.

"He's right. I don't drink for.......reasons. Anyway, why didn't you go with them?" I asked him. He shrugged.

"Didn't feel like it I guess.I don't want a hangover tomorrow." He told me truthfully.

I nodded and looked down at the ground. The air filled with a highly awkward silence and Niall shifted on his feet. I kept my gaze toward the ground and began fiddling with my thumbs. We stayed like that for what seemed like forever, but eventually Niall spoke up.

"Do ya want to watch a movie?" He asked quietly.

I looked up at him and smiled. "Sure! Which movie?"

"Umm. Do you have The Notebook?" He asked/

I thought for a moment and rummaged through the movie been saying, "I think so."

I found it underneath a bunch of horror movies and put it in the DVD player. Niall hit play and we sat on the couch watching the movie. About three hours later, I was feeling really tired. Amy will probably sleep the rest of the night. I know she hasn't been having the best of nights. She's exhausted, and frankly, so am I.

I looked at Niall and noticed he was asleep. He looked so peaceful and sweet. I smiled at the sleeping boy and got up from the couch. I bent down and took his shoes off, before walking off and returning with a blanket. He shuffled a little in his sleep when I covered him up, but didn't wake up. I moved his shoes to a place by the door, and walked to my bedroom.

Amy was curled up in the blankets, snoring softly. I decided against sleeping in the bed with her. It could wake her up, so I'l make a bed on the floor. I layed a few blankets down, and two pillows. After that was finished, I crawled under the top blanket and closed my eyes.

~~~4 Hours Later

My bedroom door opened slightly, and light from the hallway flooded in. I flinched at the sudden brightness, and opened my eyes. The door was half open and Zayn had his head peeked in. I smiled at him and he did the same to me. He motioned for me to come out of the room, so I stood up and walked over to the door.

He was in blue jeans and a red shirtt with his leather jacket on top. He pulled me into a bone crushing hug, and I returned it with just as much force. We pulled back and he spoke.

"Sarah? The boys don't, umm, know were to sleep." He said embarrassed.

I grinned and took his hand, leading him into the living room. Three boys were sat on the couch opposite of sleeping Niall. Despite the smell of alcohol, the only one that really LOOKED drunk was Harry. His eyes bloodshot and gaze distant. Like he was in his own world, but he snapped out of it when I walked in.

"Two boys can sleep in the other guest room. Zayn can sleep on my floor since he's not new here, and the last one can sleep on the other couch." I said smiling at them.

"Hazza and I get the room!" Louis yelled as he stood up and grabbed Harry's hand.

"Zayn will take you to your suite." I said in a posh voice. Zayn frowned at me, but led the two boys to their room anyway.

"I'll go grab a blanket and pillow for you Liam. Be right back." I said over my shoulder.

I came back a few minutes later with a white blanket and pillow. Liam was passed out on the couch. I took off his shos and put them next to Niall's. He turned onto his side and snuggled into the pillow I brought him. I draped the blanket over his slepeing form and turned to walk to my own room.

When I opened my door, Zayn was already in there. He was smiling at Amy and looked as if he was deep in thought. Probably thinking about the past. He shifted and turned to face me.

"Hey S." He whispered.

"Hey Z." I replied quietly.

"Lets get some sleep now, yeah?" He motioned to the floor bed.

I smiled and crawled back into my place. When he just stood there awkwardly, I patted the spot next to me, and he grinned again. That beautiful, toothy grin that I loved on him so much. It has always looked better than his frown. He snuggled under the blankets and spoke to me softly.

"Goodnight Sarah."
