I Don't Need Superman, I Need You

Chapter 7: Finding Answers

"What do you mean we're not related?" I shakily ask Liam still rubbing his back.

He looked up and stated into my eyes. We had to be related. The eyes..The eyes can't lie can't they? They are a similar shade of brown...But not the same? What about the gold in our hair? Was his...Highlights?

"Sophie...Sophie I'm not his son." This time I freeze and I can't move. What? That's impossible..Yeah they don't look alike but maybe he got his mom's looks? I'm not sure what to think anymore...This couldn't be happening.

"Sophie..You're still his daughter and I'm betting Joey was too." He sadly looked down. "I should have known though..The different features. Nothing alike. My hair has highlights. I don't know what I'm going to do now Soph. Imagine how this scandal is going to go on fire? I can't ruin the boys lives. I just c-can't. " he started sobbing again in my neck. We just laid there for maybe minutes,could've been hours silently thinking over what he just told me when the boys came through the door with Eleanor close on Louis's arm even though he looked miserable.

Zayn saw us cuddled with tears on our cheeks and ran over to us and sat next to Liam. I couldn't bear to hear the news again so I ran up to my room and hid in the closet. I just shut the door quietly and sat against the shoe rack. I closed my eyes and leaned back and started to let the tears flow. I wanted to be strong for Liam and tell him it'll work out...But I'm not so sure that'll happen.

I was full out snot crying when I heard the sound of a sliding door. I looked up and cleared my eyes. Niall was standing there with a cupcake.

"Hi Ni.." I whisper and bury my face in my arms. He sits next to me and cradles me and I let him. After I cried my lungs out, he tilted my chin up to make me look at him.

"This doesn't change anything. You are still family to us all. No matter what. You are my sister now okay?" He smiles and I nod and he kisses my forehead. We lay there for a while before the door opens again and Louis comes in. His eyebrow furrows when he sees us together and he turns red.

"So..Are you playing us all? First you kiss me. Then Harry. And now you're moving on to Niall? Are none of us good enough or are just trying us all out? Why are yo-" Niall cut off his words quickly.

"How dare you?! She just found out her brother isn't her brother and she is heartbroken. Anyone can see that Lou! You're just too blind to see you cunt! Yeah I went there. Oi! You just keep pissing me off more and more lately. Can't you see you're hurting two spectacular girls? " Niall crossed his arms and stared at Lou,who was doing a Eleanor, while I just sat there and shook my head. Niall was more observant than I thought he was.

"You know what? Just talk it out and get over it. I'm honestly tired of our lives always ending up like a movie." He sighed and walked out of the closet and shut the door leaving Louis and I alone.

He sighed and sat next to me. I looked up and saw his face contorted and his eyes shut.

He opened them suddenly and stared at me.

"I'm sorry! I really am a fool sometimes aren't I? I was hurting you and no realizing it. I'm sorry. I felt so bad after jumping to conclusions. Harry told me you kissed..And honestly..I was filled with rage. I don't want to lose Harry going for the same girl but I don't want to let a wonderful girl go." He stared at me waiting for a reaction. I just shook my head and started laughing. He looked at me bewildered and I kept laughing.

"My l-life is so fucked up." I manage to choke out between laughs. He smiles at me.

"So..Is there a future for us?" he asked me with hope clear in his eyes. I sigh and shake my head.

"Lou..I can't right now okay?" He nods like he understands but I know I may have hurt him a little. I feel like I need something to make me happy so I jump up. Louis looks confused but stands up too.

"I'm going to Starbuck's. Bye Lou!" I say quickly and ran out the closet and out of the room. I ran to Zayn's room and saw him laying down. I ran in and jump on his bed.

"Zayn! I need to get my spirit up. Take me to Starbuck's. " I smile and he sits up and smirks.

"Leggo." He sighs and we sneak out his balcony to avoid anyone. We start walking quickly once we hit the sidewalk to avoid any fans. Once we reach the door, I walk in and order the drink with the most sugar and Zayn does the same. We need to think beyond the bad stuff right now so what other way than drinking pure sugar? We grab a sit by the window and put our hoods up. I was stirring my drink when someone came up to our table. I looks up to see a very pretty blonde with bright blue eyes. She reminded me of Niall.

"Hello Zayn!" She chirped in an Irish accent.

He looked up and smiled slightly,"Hello Perrie."

She looked at me and her grin faltered a bit and looked back to Zayn. "On a date?" She asked nervously.

"Nope. I'm Sophie. Liam's sister." I smile slightly. I don't care if we don't share blood. To me. He will still be family. Perrie smiles and looks at Zayn again. Zayn looks a bit tense when I look back at him.

"Well I have to go meet up with the girls! Have a lovely day!" She smiled one last time at me and walked away. Once she was gone I looked at Zayn.

"Who was she?" I ask. He sighs.

"Perrie Edwards from Little Mix. Ex. " He shrugs and takes a sip of the drink,avoiding my gaze.

"Oh." Not sure what else to say.

"Yeah. It ended on good terms. We just tend to be a bit awkward sometimes." He chuckles.

I smile and we drink our drinks quickly and head back to the flats to be greeted with a door swinging open to reveal that jackass that gave me life.
