Niall

Penelope was still sleeping when I carried her to the couch, I looked down on the little girl in my arms. The tear stains were very noticeable and for some reason her freckles were more noticeable now then ever before. Her little band-aid on her chin was completely soaked from her tears.

Completely ridiculous. I don't understand why a person would do that to a little girl like her. She deserves so much more. Even though I don't really know the whole story, it is still mad that someone who called himself a dad would do such a thing.

I laid her down on the couch before wrapping her in a white fluffy blanket, witch made her stir, but her eyes kept closed. Harry came over to her and laid Elliot where her arm was. We all sat down on the couch and just looked at each other waiting for someone to say something.

"So I think we should decide on a way we can talk about this with Penelope without it getting too traumatizing for her" Liam finally spoke up.

"Yeah, but I don't think there is a way of talking to her without it being traumatizing" I sighed.

"Your probably right Niall. But do you really think we should discuss about this now? I mean Miss Clarkson said that we should talk about it when she feels comfortable enough with us" Harry chimed in.

"I do actually think we should. Just because now when it have become a whole thing we can't just say that we don't care and then bring it up later, then we would have to do this thing one more time. It's better to have it done with. Just like pulling away a band-aid" I explained as I stuffed my mouth with a handful of chips.

What? I eat when I get stressed.

"Yeah maybe your right Niall" Harry agreed.

"So if we're going to talk about this with her, how should we really do it?" Louis asked.

"Maybe we should just ask her about it and let her speak. Not ask too many questions" Zayn suggested.

"Yeah might be a good plan" Liam smiled.

"Should we just wait until she wakes up?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, might be good. She maybe needed some sleep" Louis sighed.

"Should we eat dinner now or should we wait?" I asked.

"We could eat now and if she wakes up she can just join us and talk after dinner" Liam explained as he stood up from the sofa.

"Okay well then I have a surprise for you" Zayn smiled while grasping his hands together before we begun walking into the kitchen.

"What surprise?" I asked.

"Ta-da!" Zayn sang as he took off a kitchen towel from some sort of pie tin.

"No way!" Harry bursted out when he saw what it was.

I got quite happy when I saw it as well. Who doesn't like Malik's meat pie? I mean come on.

"And guess who made it?" Zayn asked.

"Yeah Zayn we know you made it, whatever let's eat" Louis went on, almost taking a piece out of no patient.

"Yeah that's true but one more person helped" Zayn chuckled, stopping Louis before he could even touch it.

"Did you invite a girl or something?" Louis wondered, smiling.

"You guys are impossible. I can give you some hints though. She-"
