Horror film

Kendall's POV

We smiled at how adorable Liam and Skyler looked while watching Toy Story and said hello. They jumped a little and broke apart blushing. I laughed at them and sat on Harry's lap, who sat on the sofa.

"So you two dating or what?" Skyler casually asked as I made my way to the couch.

Kendall came and sat down beside me. Harry then put his arm around my waist and pulled me to him. He started paying with my hair; he has this weird ass obsession with my hair. He says it's soft and smells nice. Oh and the weirdest part? That the curls remind him of noodles, and are fun to play with. Like I said weird ass obsession.

"Yep" I smiled looking at the ground.

She smiled widely and leaned back on the couch looking back at the playing movie.

"I'm hungry, what time is it?" Skyler asked. Good question...what time is it.

Scarlett who was sitting on the floor next to where I was sitting checked her watch.

"Six" She mumbled. We all nodded and watched the movie. We soon got bored of toy story so they put on a new one. A horror film.

Halfway through the movie I remembered something. It was horrible, one of those times when mom beat us up. The movie was in the part where the mom is burning her kid. I remember the time Skyler was burnt by mother.

Skyler started crying hard.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Liam stood up, you could tell he was concerned as hell. But, aww , he called her babe.

I was just silently crying, remembering all those times mom almost killed us. My mommy... I miss her. Her old self.

I realized I was crying really hard now, and that harry was holding me sideways like a baby. I controlled my sobs and just buried body on his embrace. I felt safe in his arms.

I saw Niall doing the same with scar, but Skyler was having a complete breakdown.

Damn you mother.

Liam had tears in his eyes and was trying to get her to talk.

He then reached to hug her, oh shit. No! Don't touch her, she's going think you're going hit her. I tried to warn him but I was still in shock. I couldn't bring myself to speak.

The second he touched her arm she let out a scream, a very loud and high pitched one, and crumbled to the floor in tears. She crunched up in a ball and started crying. She was shaking violently, and couldn't breathe steadily.

Louis and Zayn were just staring in shock as we all had a break down, while Liam silently cried. I guess Zayn woke up when he heard the commotion.

I got off Harry's lap and crawled over to where Skyler was still in a ball.

Sky really did have it way worse than us; I don't know how she's still alive. And I don't care, I'm glad she's still alive.

I was careful not to touch her. I just sat there; I know she could feel me. Feel my presence, and I knew she knew it was me. Call it twin empathy or shit like that, I just call it 'we've been through a bull load of shit together, we feel better around each other'.

After about a minute of this scar made her way over to us, and the boys just huddled together looking worriedly at us.

We sat there in silence for about 5 more minutes until Skyler slowly stopped crying... She carefully and with fear looked up. Me and Scarlett had stopped crying, we were just waiting. Skyler just needed time. I told this to the boys, and they all seemed to relax a bit except Liam.

My eyes started to water at the sight of her face. She looked so sad, and scared and helpless. She looked so damn vulnerable and broken. How can you cause someone so much pain?

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! WHAT'S WRONG WITH SKYLER? What happened?" Liam screamed, whispering the last part with a broken voice; clearly losing it. He wasn't used to this...

We didn't even move, much less look at them.

"Please let us in, let us help you. We just want to help you" Lou pleaded.

We looked up at them and the sight of their sad faces only made Skyler cry harder. She stood up and ran into Liam's arms. He caught her and picked her up like a little kid. She wrapped her legs around his torso and buried her face on his neck. They were crying hard, I don't know if with sadness. Or happiness that they had each other. It's not like they are going out, but they clearly fancy each other.

I looked at harry and he was already looking at me. He had such a sad expression, as if he couldn't stand the thought of me being sad.

"Come here you, I need a hug" I said and attempted a smile.

He quickly came over to me and picked me up bridal style. He sat on the couch with me on his lap and started rocking me back and forward.

Scar was still on the floor, all rolled up in a little ball. Louis and Niall slowly approached her. She looked up and gave him a weak smile. He dropped to the floor and hugged her tight. He stayed like that for about five minutes. His chin on top of her head, his finger playing with her beautiful curls.

He let go of her, and Niall took his place. She laid her head on his chest and he pulled her close. He was murmuring something I couldn't hear to her. She nodded weakly and put her head on his lap.

I don't know how long we stayed like this, but I slowly drifted to sleep.

The last conscious thought I had before passing out was I'm glad we have the boys...
