(Niall's POV)

       Why on earth do we keep screwing things up? First her journal. Then her birthday and now we make her feel out numbered, weak, and try to fix it by telling her she's going to school, that blows up so we go to the beach! The f***ing BEACH!! We have been given so many chances but one day we're going to blow the last one and lose her.... Forever. That is the worst thing I have ever thought about and when we were in the X-Factor we had a serious conversation about kicking Zayn out of the band.

Zayn is one of my best mates but Ali's my sister/daughter. Why am I even thinking about this right now? I need to stop thinking about random s**t and think about today as in the day we take Ali to the beach. For the first time.... In her entire life. I grab my swimming trunks, a towel, the sunscreen, and some flip-flops. I put this on along with a blue shirt and walk down stairs expecting to see Ali setting the last plate of God knows what on the table ready to shout something about food being ready but insteasd I see a small note and a broken window. Oh f***ing sh**. I thought as I grabbed Liam's baseball bat signed by Babe Ruth that he won at an auction two months ago. I walk over to the note and grab it. What I read on it will stay in my mind forever.

Hey Faggot,

Watch your back. I'm back and Ali is coming with us one way or another. Hope you aren't to close to her yet. Yet, I know you are. Which is why I'll make sure to let you see every last bit of the Hell that my wife and I are going to put her through. I hope she's ready for some fun.

-Your worst nightmare....

I know for a fact that this was Ali's father. It has to be. I through away the letter and grab a baseball to make it look like it flew through the window. Wait...... Where in the Hell is Ali?! I check all the rooms and anywhere she could be hiding. No sign of her anywhere. I wake the boys and tell them about everything that has happened. We start to call her on her cell, we look up and down streets, there's nothing. Nothing. That is the worst thing ever.

(Ali's POV)

Why in the Hell did I wake up so damn early? It's like 4:30 in the morning and now I can't go to sleep. I can't start making breakfast because it would be done by 5:30 and I ain't waking the boys that early. They'd flip and then eat it. Then they'd flip again. I guess Angel and Shasta need to take a walk. Ha! For once I won't take them on a walk while crying. I grab the leashes and my phone and walk out the door with some white walking shoes on and black leggings with a white V-neck that says 'Nothing is hotter than Harry Potter...' and I have never agreed with something so much before. And to explain I may or may not have watched the entire series Saturday night with Harry. Afterwards I kept asking him where he hid his wand and if he could take me to meet Hermione. It was very funny.

After awhile of walking I decided to call Simone. You remember her, right? I met her the day that the boys forgot my birthday and I ran out of the house crying with the dogs then I met her at a park and yadda, yadda, yadda. You remember her, right? Yes? No? Maybe so? Well, anyway I called her up and asked if I could bring the dogs to her house and they could get some rest while her and I hung out a bit. She said yes and text me her address. It was only a block away from the park that I was at so it only took me like a 5 minutes. I rang the doorbell and Simone opened the door and let me in. She lead me to her room and we set up a little bed for the dogs with one of her blankets and two pillows.

"So, how have you been? I mean I haven't seen you in a week!" I said dramatically.

"Well, I've been eating more and I stopped cutting. I still get bullied but I did make one friend at school. Her name's Faith Rosen, she actually just moved here so I am her first and only friend right now." She informed me about the past week of her life as I did with her.

"OMG! I am so sorry! Why didn't you call me after you got out of the hospital?!" She shouts at me.

"Sorry. I just didn't think about it." I told her.

"Never do it again. Anyway I can't believe Louis did that to you! You would think that he would have some common sense. And then telling you you have to go to school not even an hour after." She said shaking her head in disapproval.

"Well, what school are you going to?" She said after a minute of silence scarring me slightly.

"Um.... Johnson Middle School and High School." I tell her the 'wonderful' news the boys told me last night.

"That's great! That's my school!" She screams and hugs me.

"Well, at least I'll have two friends there. Oh! That reminds me. I'm going to the beach today at noon. Do you want to come?" I ask her hopefully.

"Of course I'll come! What time is it?" She asks looking at me. I grab my phone and see that I have 20 missed calls and 15 unread texts from the boys.

"Oh s**t. I have to get going. I left my phone on silent and now the boys are probably worried sick. I'll come back at 11:30 to pick you up. It's 10 now so I'll see you soon. Angel! Shasta! C'mon!" I shout a good bye and run out of her house with the dogs behind me. I trained them to follow me without their leashes. It takes me 10 minutes to run all the way home usually but I make it there at 10:30 cause I ended up having to chase Shasta for 5 minutes because she was chasing a squirrel. But I made it there. I open the door to be tackled in a huge hug by five boys.

"Where the Hell have you been?!" Niall shouts at me after they all let me go.

"I woke up at 4:30 so I went for a walk with the dogs and ended up hanging out with Simone for a while. I left my phone on silent- why is the window broken?" I ask as I turn my head to the shattered pieces of glass in the kitchen hoping to change the subject.

"A baseball flew threw the window and we haven't gotten a chase to clean it up. Hey, don't change the subject young lady." Liam says to me with a stern voice.

"It was worth a try. Why are you bugging over it though? It's not like my parents are back or something." I said with a dry laugh at the end because of the humourless joke about my dad. I saw their eyes widen and their bodies tense before they quickly recovered it.

"My dad isn't back...... R-right?" I asked nervously.

"Listen, we need to get going to the beach. Does Simone want to come? It would be lovely to meet her finally." Zayn pipes up.

"Yeah. I told her we would pick her up at 11:30. Is my dad back?" I ask after informing them.

"Well it's 11 now so we should start getting ready." Zayn says while heading to the stairs with the others following behind. I step infront of the stairs causing them to stop quickly.

"Ali." Liam warns.

"Shut the Hell up you bastard!" I scream in frustration.

"Language!" Louis screams while throughing up his arms as if giving up.

"Whatever!" I scream.

"Ali, lets just drop it." Niall says and I nod my head in defeat.

"For now." I say while climbing the stairs slowly. Just to freak them out.

I get my bathing suit and grab a towel. I put it on and then put some shot-shorts on and my ripped up Harry Potter V-neck. I am soooo obsessed. I walk down stairs and see that everyone else is still getting ready. I walk over to the kitchen watching my step because of the uncleaned glass and grab an apple and some caramel. I slice up the apple and put the caramel in a small bowl. After I finish my apple and put it in the sink only Zayn is left to get down here. We are going to the beach do you really need to make your hair loo-

"Zayn! We are going to the beach your hair can wait!" Liam screams up the staircase. Thank you.

"God, he did this the day we got Ali, too. Because of him we almost didn't get the chance to adopt her." I hear Louis whisper to the others.

"It's not like we actually cared though. We didn't want to adopt a kid. Well, Niall did." What the f**k did Liam just say?

"I know. Hell sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if he had made us late. Would we be happier?" Louis replied. Okay. What. The. HELL?

"Louis." Liam warns him.

"We would be so unhappy without her Louis. Harry and I are super close to her you just keep on messing up with her. She's scared to let you in. Trusting you is scary to her." Niall tells him while slapping him upside the head.

"Why?" He asks.

"Well, you made her feel out numbered twice. You screamed at her for trying to feel safe in this house. You-" Louis cut him off before he could finish.

"Niall I get it." Louis says.

"Sorry I took so long guys." Zayn says while walking, well, running, down the stairs. We get into the car and drive to Simone house. I get out of the car and knock on her door. I wait for a while until I hear I loud crash and a scream. I open the door in time to see her running down the stairs and her mom running after her. I didn't need to be a mind-reader to know what was going on, it has happened to me before. She's being abused. I grab her hand and run to the car. I let her in and jump in myself.

"What's goin-" I interupt Liam.

"Drive. Now." They don't question, they drive.

"Hey. What happened?" I ask Simone while rubbing her arm.

"She c-came into m-my room. And sh-she st-started to y-yell at me. I-I was able t-to sm-smell the b-beer." She hicupped before bursting into tears. I was able to calm her down before I asked if I could call the police and see what happens from then.

"No! You can't! I would go to and orphan home or something! I don't have any family." She screams at me.

"You could stay with us right guys?" I ask desperstly.

"Of course she can. It would be our pleasure." Louis replies.

"O-okay." She says wearily. I grab my phone and call. i give them the address and wait for them to call back. When they did they had said that they were going to take him away and that she could get her stuff whenever. Soon after we got to the beach and Simone and I decided to try and forget about everything by talking.

"Thank you, Ali." She says after she got over everything, well as much as she could.

"Of course." I tell her while giving her a hug.

"Okay, I'll be right back." She told me while getting up. I nodded my head and sat there enjoying the sun. After awhile someone came up behind me and started to drag me away.

"Hey! What are you doing?" I asked.

"Shut up." He said.

"No! Not until you tell me who you are." I tell him and stop walking.

"Ugh! Why are you being so stubburn?" He asks me as he turns around. He had blonde hair and dark brown eyes. He looked about 15 or so. He looked pretty fit too.

"Well, you're trying to kidnap me." I say.

"And your not screaming." He tells me with a smirk.

"Cause I can take you down." I say crossing my arms.

"Yeah right." He says rolling his eyes.

"Well I was able to pin a 22 year-old man." I say smiling at the memory of the time Louis through water on me. Ahhhh good times, good times. :) 

"Whatever now c'mon." He said and grabbed me again. I pulled him back and flipped him on his back. I bent down so I was face to face with him.

"Now that that's clear, what's your name?" I ask with a smirk.

"Reese.*groan* Reese Riker." He tells me while getting up again.

"Now, why are you kidnapping me?" I ask.

"Your dad's back and he was willing to pay big bucks for me to take you to him. I'm homeless and needed the money at first I didn't want to but then he told me that I would be dead if I didn't." He tells me in one breath. Well, that's great.

"Why didn't you call the police?" I aks in a 'duh' tone.

"He didn't tell me and address to meet him at because he gave me his number, well actually he gave me a fake one." He said. Well that's great.

"Wonderful. Well do you what to live with me and my family? It's me, Simone, Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall, Zayn, Perrie, Dani, Eleanor, Jesy, Jade, and Leigh-Anne. Simone is my sister, Louis is my dad, all the girls are my mom/sisters, and the boys are all my dad/brothers." I say simply. He looks confused but doesn't ask. Thankfully.

I walk over to the guys and ask. They say sure as long as there's nothing going on between us. After another hour and a half we go home home. I show Reese to his room that is right next to mine and I show Simone to hers that is across from mine and then we leave to get her stuff. It take us an hour but we manage. By the time we get back it's 9 pm. I help her put her stuff away and then we fall asleep. Well, she fell asleep I was up thinking about how my dad was out there and looking for me. Planning his revenge.

*FLASHBACK*

I sit there crying as I watch the police men drag my dad out of the house.

"I'll get you for this! I'll make you pay! I'll torture you and make you wish I had killed you!" He screams at me. All I do is cry. The next morning I'm at an orphanage alone and unhappy.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

After that I fall asleep silently crying.
