Stand Up

Stand Up Chapter 2

Philippa's P.O.V

Thank god the doorbell rand I couldn't stand it anymore I had to get out good job she said she was going to throw me out. Don’t want to be her a minute longer.

I finished packing my last few bits when I heard her shouting at another girl voice but the voice sounds familiar. 

I know who it is, its Mollie oh god I don't want her to see me like this I don't want her to see this thing I have to call a room. 

Too late she was here and looked completely shocked. I had never let her come to mine before we would always stay at her's which was never due to the fact that Zoe wouldn't let me out because she wanted me here so I could do my chores. 

Anyway I looked around to see Mollie just stood mouth gaped open staring at my room for the first time. 

'OH MY GOD PHILIPPA WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?!?!?!' she kind of shouted at me. With tears in her eyes and my still in tears from my fight with Zoe.

'Because I didn't want you to get involved I didn't want you to get hurt' I reply trying to hold back another set of tears that were about to fall. 

'Come here' Mollie replied bringing me into a big Perrin hug.

'Thanks Mollie you’re a great friend' I replied with a bit of a smile on my face.

'And what do you think you’re going to do missy' Zoe said storming into my room.

'Leave like you told me to' I replied.

'Good now get out the pair of you' she shouted back.

With that Mollie and I grabbed my bags and then ran out of the house as fast as we could.

We were running for ages but with my asthma it didn’t last for long. We stopped and walked into the nearest Starbucks and ordered a caramel hot chocolate for me and a cup of tea for Mollie. We got our orders and sat down where we dumped my bags.

‘Mollie where am I going to stay now, I have nowhere to go?!?!’ I ask her trying to not cry again.

‘You can stay at mine till you can clear your head, mum will understand. Come on let’s get going before it gets too dark.’ Mollie replies trying to smile. But failing as well.

‘Thanks Mollie you don’t have to do this for me.’ I reply standing up and grabbing m.’ I reply standing up and grabbing my bags.

Living in London its always busy so carrying loads of bags in the middle of the day is the worst time to move around. But Mollie and I carry on walking to the nearest Underground Station. Whilst we are walking we remain silent. I was getting caught in a thought when I bumped into someone. Mollie didn’t notice and was still walking; I just burst out crying on the floor with all the mixed emotions still forgetting that the person I bumped into is still sat on the floor opposite me. I finally look up to see a blonde haired boy staring at me with so much concern.

‘You all right love?!?!’ he asks in his strong Irish accent.

‘No not really I am homeless and now I have lost my best friend.’ I reply trying to pick the few bags that I was carrying up from the floor and dusting myself off.

‘Well come on I will help you find your friend.’ He replies taking couple of my bags off me. Still looking really concerned at me.

‘Thanks I’m Philippa.’ I say trying to pull a smile from my sadness.

‘Its alright, I’m Niall.’ He replies smiling back. He then all of a sudden he wraps me in a big hug.

‘Philippa there you are, what happened, you worried me, who is this?!?!’ Mollie asked not letting me answer the first question. Looking really concerned as well as Niall.

‘I bumped into Niall. And Mollie, Niall, Niall Mollie.’ I reply introducing Mollie and Niall to each other.

'Nice to meet you Mollie.' Niall says, smiling at Mollie.

'Nice to meet you to Niall.' Mollie replies, smiling back at Niall.

'So, never asked whats with all the bags???' Niall asks.

'I've been thrown out of my home and I was going to Mollie's for a few days. But no offence there is no room for me as well. So  I dont know where else to go.' I reply, trying to hold back the tears.

'Come here let it all out.' Niall replies wrapping me in a Horan Hug.

'Philippa I told you we can make room for you, we are family, like you said when we were in school sisters for life.' Mollie replies hugging me as well.

'I know but I dont want to get in the way for everyone.' I reply crying even harder than before.

'I know we have only jst met but how about you come to mine and calm down and see how you feel in a few hours then see what you can do' Niall replies ending the best hug ever.

'Yeah lets do that then, can mollie come as well?!?!' I ask.

'Course she can.' Niall replys and with that he grabs some of my bags and we start to walk down the road to his flat.
