A Boy In The Shadow

Chapter 10

Harry was soon at the hospital and rushed into a room to be checked over. While the boys were waiting for news on Harry, Sadie, his social worker, came rushing in.

"He hasn't even been with you for a week and he's already in the hospital," she said scathingly.

"He's not well," said Louis sadly.

"How long has he been unwell?" Sadie asked.

"He was ill in the night and when he woke up this morning he said he felt fine, he appeared to be fine all day," Zayn said, "then when we came home he was like that."

"So you took a boy, who had been ill during the night, out for the day?" Sadie said with not amused what Zayn said.

"No," said Zayn, "he was at home while we went out." he tried to defend.

"So, what your saying is that you left a boy who had been ill during the night, who- apparently- seemed fine the next day, alone even though you knew his history of struggling on and hiding things. You still went out and let him get to the point that he needed to go to a hospital," said Sadie.

Before the boys had a chance to say anything the doctor came out.

"Family of Harry Styles." The doctor said.

Sadie glared at the boys before they even had the chance of responding to the doctors' call.

"He's back under my care now," Sadie said, "You have nothing more to do with him. You have already shown that you are incapable of properly taking care of him. You can't even look after him when he's ill. You obviously have no understanding that this child needs more care and attention than a normal child and you just aren't capable of giving that to him."

"You can't do that!" said Louis angrily.

"Of course I can," Sadie said, "you agreed that he would go into a home till I can find a more suitable place for him, now go before I call the police."

The boys left, upset that Harry was taken away from them.

They had made a mistake, they admit that, but they didn't feel like it was enough to get Harry taken away from them.

They didn't know they had to be perfect, even real parents made mistakes.

The boys went home and cleaned up the mess in the bathroom before sitting down and staring at the TV that they didn't even want to turn on.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, Sadie was with Harry when he woke up.

He looked at her confusedly.

"I'm sorry, honey," Sadie said, "the boys rang me and said they couldn't look after you anymore. Not with their very time-consuming job so, once you're released, you will be going into a group home till somewhere can be found for you."

Tears fell down Harry's face as Sadie told him this. He thought the boys liked him, but just like everyone else, they didn't. He knew he shouldn't have gotten ill and made a mess in the bathroom.

Why couldn't he ever be a good boy?

Sadie looked at Harry and smiled unpleasantly.

"You do know no-one will ever want a child like you?" she said cruelly, "You're too old for people to want you anyways. You had your chance and now you screwed it up." she said with hate in his voice.

Hey everyone.

I know everyone would want Sadie dead. Well me too. But lets say, there are further plans for her.

Anyways, if you would find Sadie in reality what would you do ?

What do you think what will boys do about this ???
