Chapter 6-

 

James POV:

 

 “No one would want a little slut like you” mum yells her eyes blazing as they glare at Kasey. Kasey steps back slightly but I could see the fury behind them. Please don't so this. “If I was a slut I would be like you or Amalee! Isn't that why you leave once a month or have you stopped that sense I was last here?” she retorts stepping towards mum. I stand up and go forward planting myself between them. I can't take this anymore. Is Kasey telling the truth? “Both of you stop” I exclaim as mum opens her mouth. “Stop it” I yell as mum ignores me and starts cursing Kasey. “She called me a slut and she should pay for it” Kasey exclaims trying to get past me. “Kase stop this” I tell her firmly as I grab her. She jerks out of my grip. “Why should I listen to you? You're as bad as them. After all this I don't even know why I am still here. You all revolt me! Its disgusting what you are all doing and I am sick of this. I haven't even been here for 24 hours yet” she says angrily. I could tell she was having a hard time controlling her anger. “I was stupid to think things were different. I hate all of you! You're ruining my life! Its all you've ever done. I should of never came back! I was stupid to think you have changed. I need to get out of here” she says shaking her head. She pushes past me and I hear the door slam. I felt guilt flood through me. She is my sister and I haven't done anything to help her. When she needs me I just stand here. What happened to us? I used to be there for her. I used to be the person she always talked to and relied on. We were inseparable. She has changed so much. Growing up she was always pushed away. She didn't get as much from our parents as Amalee and I. Dad tried but he always stood aside because of our mum. She had to be independent. She only relied on herself and none of us. I know its not my fault but sometimes I wish I could of done something. I hate that she is more independent now. She is more separated from our family, more than she always has been. “She is such a drama queen” Amalee mutters looking at her nails. I was tempted to snap at her but I try to restrain myself. You're as bad as them. Is she right? Am I really as bad as them? I never meant to be. This marriage could tear our family apart worse than it already is. Our already broken family. “I'll find her” dad speaks up. “No. I think she needs time” I speak up. All I could see is the betrayed look in her eyes. She is my little sister. I wish I could have been there for her more than I have been. I knew she was miserable I knew she wanted to leave but I blamed her and held it against her. She is right. She could of never lived here with us like this. She would of never been happy. We just made that unhappiness worse. “I need to find her” dad says standing up. “She needs to have time to think and calm down. You are forcing something on her and she needs to vent for gods sake” I exclaim. “She needs me” he says. “Needs you? Of course she needs you but sense when have you ever tried to be there for her? Just because she wasn't perfect you pushed her away and only now you realize how much you messed up?” I demand letting my anger out on him but every word I said was true. My dad looks at me regret and hurt all over his face. I almost wanted to take back my words. Could this get any worse?

                                                     

Original POV (Kasey):

 

 I sink to the ground gripping my head in my hands. This is stupid. So stupid. I keep telling myself this is just a  dream but its not. I keep waiting to hear its all a joke or something. I promise myself I will hear them out but the more I hear the less I want to. I am not their object. They can't make me do this right? It has to be some joke or something. It can't be true. I grab a rock and chuck it into the lake, watching it skip along the water. I should of stayed there but my temper got the best of me. They are changing my whole life and it is like I have no say. I should have a say, I mean I am the one having to live with the decision. Most girls would love the idea of marrying a guy from One Direction but its different when you are doing it because of force. I have always wanted to marry someone I loved. My dad always used to say to me that I should marry only if I truly love a person. Not because of money or fame or anything of a sort. “Its been a while” I recognize the voice vaguely making me spin around. “Dave?” I ask. “How have you been?” he asks. “I've been better, you?” I ask turning back and looking at the lake. “I've been good”. “How is Brie?” he asks when I don't respond. “She is fine. She and Cole broke up if thats what your really asking” I reply. “She deserves better than him” he says immediately. “Your a good brother, Dave. You wouldn't lie or back-stab her. You protect her” I tell him. I wish James would do the same with me. “Are you okay?” he asks concern in his eyes. Dave and I grew up together. Sense he is Brie's brother I have seen a lot of him. He and James have always been good friends and we have always found it ironic how they are as close as Brie and I. “Things have just been a little complicated” I admit pulling some grass from the ground. “Why are you back in Ireland? You left almost three years ago not looking back, so why are you here now?” he asks sitting down. “My mother called” I didn't need to explain anymore. He knew well enough. “Oh. What does she want this time?” he asks softly. “She sold me off” I whisper. I will not cry. I will not be weak. She is not worth the tears. She never was. I think Dave understood what I meant because he gasped. “She always swore she would but-” he trails off unable to say more.  “I know”. We just sit there, nothing could really be said. There was nothing he could say to make it better. Nothing could be said to make it okay. We both knew it. “Does Brie know?” he asks. “I told her this morning”.  He just hugs me not saying anything. What was he suppose to say? I just kept thinking how I shouldn't of come. I shouldn't of answered the phone.

  We hadn't talked the whole time. It felt weird walking into my flat. I didn't like knowing I wouldn't be here anymore. It had become my home. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Niall looking around but I don't acknowledge any of his actions. I blamed him. I blame him for this misfortune. I couldn't help it. I just couldn't stop myself from blaming him even though deep down I knew it was not his fault. I was blaming him because it was easier than blaming my family or myself. I make way to my room and pull out one of my bags. I start throwing a bunch of clothes into it. I don't bother packing all of it because I knew I would be sneaking back here and I would be letting Brie stay here. I put my favourite snap backs and beanies in it too. Then I grab the satchel I use for college and put my laptop, ipad, ipod and books into it. Lastly I grab my football bag. I sigh spinning around and taking in my room. “I'll miss you” I mumble. I go to my kitchen and find paper. I quickly pull out a pen to write a note to Brie.

Brie:

Hey babe, sorry I missed you. You are still at college and I have to do this now. I made it back from Ireland safe in case your wondering. I saw Dave too!! He says Hi and behave! Haha he should know us better than that by now. Silly boy! Things are a little complicated. I can't believe they were serious saying I have to move in with him! I don't know the guy. Other than he's famous which doesn't mean shit. Nada. It is completely insane and irrational. I have not spoke to any of them sense! Anywhore I'll see you tomorrow! I'll meet you at college, yes I will be there. I swear!! I need some girl time! I miss you! Don't let anyone in and be careful. You know where everything is. Oh and tell Nick I'm fine and to stop worrying. He needs to keep his pants on. Silly worry wart. I sound American! Haha. At least this situation hasn't made me lose my sense of humor!!  Try and behave! Don't do anything irrational! Oh and we have practice tomorrow night! Be prepared! Love you!
