Chapter Eleven

I sit down in the middle of the carriage and hug my knees. "Annie what are you doing?" asks Liam sitting across from me. "I told you I'm scared!" I put my face in my knees. "Annie come on you can see all of London!" I shake my head. "Please, for me?" Niall says holding out his hand. I look up and take it. "Nothings going to happen." I stand up and look out the window. He holds my waist. "see." it stops and I get out of his grasp. I run to Zayn who is in the middle and hug him. "Annie," "I just want to get off." "fine we'll get off when we come back around." Zayn holds me arms length apart and looks at me. "See we're fine." I close my eyes. Liam comes and hugs me. "we will never take you on here again. We promise." we get back around and I run off and across the street. The boys run after me and catch up. "Stop running!" "I want to get away from that thing." Niall bends down and I get on his back and he gives me a piggy back ride down the street. "Now where are we going? And it better not be anywhere near spiderwebs or mountains." he gives a little chuckle. "no, it's a surprise." we walk down an old road and down an abandoned street. "Your not afraid of haunted houses are you?" "no I'm not." "good." he sets me down in front of an old worn down house. "let's go." he says locking his fingers with mine. The boys go in and we skip in after them. "Are you sure we can be in here?" "yes. So you ready for hide n seek?" "hell yeah!" "okay nose goes!" I smack my nose and so does everyone else. Liam is last so he has to count. We all run separate ways and hide. I run up the stairs and into a bedroom. I go into the closet and sit down. I look around and pick up a picture. A door behind me opens. I look out of the closet door to see if Liam was coming and go into the room. I crawl through different hallways and go into another room. I stand up and look around. There's pictures of people all over the walls. I pick up a book and wipe the dust off the cover. I open it and look through the pictures. It's in French so I can't understand the words. There's a creek behind me and I drop the book and gasp. I turn but there's no one there. I look around at all the pictures hanging. They're all the same pictures. There's a red x over an older women. There's a girl with blonde hair beside her. She has blue eyes like me. I look closer and see that the pictures are of me and my mom. I cover my mouth and tears escape my eyes. I grab one of the pictures and run back to the hallway. I run out of the closet and down another hallway. I run into Liam and we both fall down. Tears are running down my cheeks. "What happened?" I hand him the photo and he looks at it. "Is that you and your mum?" I nod my head. "Where did you get this?" "There's. a. whole. room. full. of. them." "Will you show me?" I nod and stand up. I lead him back to the bedroom I was in. I go through the closet and the other door. We crawl through the hallway and into the other room. "Oh My God." he says looking around. He picks up the book from the ground that I dropped. He looks through it. "Annie?" "Mhm?" "Do you know this person?" I look at the book that he was holding. It had a picture that looked like my mom. "She's my aunt." "She's a murder." I break into more tears. "She killed your mother, she didn't get in a plane crash." "Can we just go please." he takes the book and a picture and we go back through the hallway. We go down the stairs to the front door. "Niall! Louis! Harry! Zayn! We need to go! Now!" I'm still crying as the boys all come out of their hiding spots. Niall runs to me and hugs me. "What's wrong?" I can't talk at all so Liam answers. "I'll tell you later. Let's just get home." we get on the bus and go home. I go up to my room and cry into my pillow. The boys stay downstairs to talk. This has been the worst day ever.I check my phone and look through all the hate I'm getting on twitter. They call me horrible names, say I'm the ugliest person alive, and shouldn't even be alive. I can't take this anymore. I throw my phone at the wall just as Niall walks in. I completely break down. "I can't do this anymore! I just want to go back to Arizona. Forget everything that happened! I don't want to be called ugly and fat anymore. Those people are horrible! Today has been the worst day ever! I don't want this anymore. It's you! I get this hate because I'm dating you! I never asked for this! I just want to go home!" Niall remains silent and has tears in his eyes. "Annie I'm sorry today was hard. And I'm sorry your getting hate, but you are home and you are dating me." he says calmly. "Well I don't want this. You might, but I don't." "Annie please-" I cut him off. "No! Just leave me alone! I don't want you anymore!" Niall gets up and leaves with tears falling down his cheeks.
