Chapter Sixteen

------------------LUKE-------------------

"Delilah you can't see him that's final!" I yell trying to reason with my sister for the thousandth time today.

"WHY NOT LUKE? WHAT IF HE NEEDS ME AND IM NOT THERE FOR HIM?WHAT IF HE TRIES TO HURT HIMSELF?" she screams at me.

"Delilah he needs help okay? were just gonna wait until he's a bit more stable. at least that's what his dad says." I say going over to hug my crying sister.

"I'm just so worried." she says into my chest.

"I know baby I miss him too we just got to get through it and he'll be back to our Charlie in no time." I say pulling back from the hug.

I kiss her forehead and take her up to my room.

She hasn't slept by herself since the incident.

Michaels been staying over and so has that girl he met.

I knew something was up when he randomly showed up at our doorstep. but I never in my wildest dreams imagined so much hurt inside our little Charlie.

----------------CHARLIE---------------

"SHE IS MY GUEST CLIFFORD SHE CANT KEEP STAYING AT YOUR HOUSE I WANT TO SPEND TIME WITH HER TOO!"

What the fuck?

"WELL I JUST THOUGHT SHE COULD USE A FRIEND THAT ISNT BUSY ALL THE TIME AND LEAVES HER ALONE ALL DAY!"

"I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!"

"YEAH WELL THATS HARD TO BELIEVE WHEN YOU LET A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD WANDER AROUND TOWN AND LEAVE HIM AT HOME ALL THE TIME ALONE!"

I should go see what's going on.

I get up throw the covers off me and head down the stairs into the kitchen.

Niall and Michael stand there with a crying Kylee just flat out screaming at each other.

I just watch them. I can't really hear them, it feels like everything's in slow motion. like i'm at a zoo watching two bears attacking one another.

Kylee.

I run over to her and wrap my arms around her covering her ears from the screaming.

"GO FUCK YOURSELF!" Niall screams so loudly it makes me want to cry.

Michael smirks and get so close to Niall I bet he can feel his breath on his face.

"Don't worry she already doe-"

He stops when he sees us.

Me and Kylee are on the floor she's on my lap and hiding her face in my shirt, that's now soaked with tears.

I don't think I noticed I was crying until Niall turns his head and I sense tears on my neck.

They both run towards us. or try to.

"Please don't." I whisper.

The look of hurt that etched itself into his face was heart breaking. but there were more important things to take care of.

"Just go."

They both leave. and I'm left with the broken girl.

Well shit.

"Kylee honey they're gone okay? I won't let anything happen to you, I promise." I coax trying to stop the whimpers of the - wait how old is she? oh well - of the girl.

"Charlie it was terrible." she says looking up and wiping her eyes who are now puffy and bloodshot yet still that same blue green I remember from when she would pick me and Diana up from the park.

"I know it was. but for now we need to get you upstairs so you can get some rest. you can stay in my room and I'll sleep on the floor."

"No. I couldn't possibly. I am supposed to be the adult here and yet you're comforting me. I am not going to make a child sleep on the floor because of a little misunderstanding." she says with a huff.

"Okay. first of all, I am not a child. Second, I wouldn't mind sleeping on the floor and that was not just a little misunderstanding, And third, you have known me longer than anyone of these idiots. and that is something I value. I have lost everyone in my life, Kylee. If you leave I have nothing from my childhood. we are family Kylee you are my sister wether you like it or not." I say standing up and hugging her wiping the tears of her cheeks.

"I don't have anyone either Charlie, my mum kicked me out and I came to stay with Niall out of desperation, but I'm glad I did. I needed a family Charlie, will you be my family?"

"It would be my pleasure. as long as you know that no matter how many years older you are I will be the big brother of this relationship." I say as I lead her up the stairs.

"But I'm older." she says and sticks her tongue out at me.

"Oh but are you? are you really?"

I open the door to my room and go into the closet taking out as many spare duvets as I can find.

"yes! yes I am!" She says stomping her for like a five year old.

"Fine suit yourself but to everyone I introduce you to you're my little sister." I say spreading them out on the floor.

"But they will be able to tell! Charlie I'm three years older! I must look it at least a bit!" she says lying down on the bed.

"Well you don't and even if you did I'm such an amazing liar anyone would believe me I mean just this morning Harry-" I turn around to find her curled up in a ball on the Center of the mattress.

I pull the duvet over her and turn the lights out.

"Goodnight Kylee." I say as I leave the room.

Now where the fuck are all these idiots?
