Chapter 18

Alex's POV

It was New Years Eve and me and Perrie were just spending it us two, Matt and Georgie. Oh and potentially my sister if she bothered to come downstairs. Perrie had already started on the champagne and Georgie soon followed after. It was roughly 10 in the evening when my sister decided to make her presence known to the rest of them. She looked rough, something was definitely wrong, New Years was her favourite day of the year and she looked like she'd been crying. I'd investigate that one later, maybe with Perrie, she seems like she can open up to her more than she wants to me despite how close we are. Still around this lot she should be alright, she's known Matt practically her whole life. A few hours later and all the girls were drunk, I'd had a few and so had Matt. Normally I'd be telling Mads off for getting drunk when she's underage but she finally had a smile on her face to I really couldn't bring myself to, I just hope Mum and Dad don't find out, I'll never be able to look after her again if they do. Also might I add, Perrie drunk was the cutest thing ever, she was even more stupid and goofy. I just wish I could tell everyone about us but we made an agreement, not until after Christmas and then whenever we feel like it is fine. Maddie on the other hand was scaring me, I mean she was hilarious but I knew she was going to say something she regretted soon but still I'd enjoy it whilst I could. The evening's events were currently being broadcasted on my private snapchat, Christian was loving it, mainly the videos of a drunk Mads that he could use to bully her in the future.

After posing for New Years photos at around 3 in the morning we all decided it was probably time to go to bed. I carried a now exhausted Perrie upstairs into our room as it was now known. Matt and Georgie had the spare room but at this pint, they spent so much time round it may as well be their room. Mads went up the next flight of stairs to her room, I made a mental note to talk to her in the afternoon because I knew she wouldn't be up until after 2 in the afternoon now.

Perrie's POV

I woke with a banging headache, I looked over at the empty bed to the side of me before turning the other side and seeing a note, a glass of water and some tablets, "thought you might need these x" the note read, ahh what a sweetheart. I swallowed the tablets and dragged myself out of bed and downstairs. I was greeted by my boyfriend and moody looking Mads. I knew Alex wanted to speak to her but didn't know where to start, I could try but I don't know how far I'll get. I walked over to Alex and rested my head on his shoulder and rubbed his arm to try and calm him down. He gave me a weak smile in response and it wasn't because he had a hangover, he was a protective big brother and something had broken his little sister. Maddie finished her breakfast despite it being mid afternoon and walked back upstairs, barely saying a word. I let her go on before kissing Alex's cheek and running after Mads.

I knocked on the door and heard a faint 'come in', I pushed the door open to reveal her sat on her bed. I had been there, being a teenager was shit, everyone constantly put you down and made you feel like complete crap. I walked over to the bed and wrapped her in a hug. Before long I could hear sobs coming from her mouth, we stayed there for 10 seconds longer and I eventually pulled away. "What's up Mads, tell me honestly?" I looked at her, my blue eyes locking with her emerald green ones. "Truthfully, I feel like shit, I don't like the way I look, I can't do the things I always use to do as well as I did. It's like something is missing from my life but nothing has changed from when I was last happy. Nothing can seem to cheer me up especially now Christmas has been, that was the only thing I was looking forward to. I feel like a failure, my two brothers are professional footballers and I'm not. I don't know what I want to do with my life, it was always sport but I don't like the sport that I'm made to do. I try writing stories to get my emotions out but it never works. I'm broken and I don't know what to do about it, if anything, nobody would care if I wasn't here, nobody would even notice." The last statement broke my heart, and worst of all, I had no response to the broken girl in front of me but I had to come up with something and I only had one idea. "First of all, you're not a failure, people do care about you I promise, I care, Alex cares, Christian cares, everyone cares. Second, you like singing, so write your emotions into songs, sit at a piano and see where the music takes you, it's cheesy I know but it works. That's my only advice because that's what I would do. Thirdly, don't you ever think you're anything but stunning, who gives a shit if you've got small boobs, love them. Who cares what anyone else thinks. You're beautiful inside and out and I'm not going to stop saying it until you believe it." I told her, I been in this shitty situation and it was the worst. "Thank you, love you Pezza" she smiled, a real one. "Love you too M" I replied before hugging her again and taking her downstairs to see Alex. He gave me a questioning look with which I gave him a 'I'll tell you later look' in response. Still he looked more relaxed now he'd seen Mads smile. We walked into the lounge to watch whatever football was on. I didn't really care about it but it meant I could spend time with Alex so it was fine by me.
