"And..." I trail off, beginning to fidgit on Niall's lap. "She wants us to move to Australia with her." Explaining that my mum wasn't dead was hard enough. Telling them she wanted us to leave was easily torture.
"She what?" Louis' eyes widen.
"Don't make me say it again." I shake my head, refusing to make eye contact with any of them.
"So what are you saying, are you gonna go with her?" Niall asks while wrapping his arms around my waist.
"I don't know." I mumble. "I want things to be better for Danny and being here obviously isn't helping him. I don't want to leave but I can't let him go by himself. I read something that he should be somewhere where he doesn't know his surroundings."
"If you need to do what's best for him then go." Liam tells me.
"I don't know if I can leave you." I cover my face with my hands. Niall hugs me tighter. "But as I said I don't want him to be by himself."
"I can't believe you're actually thinking about leaving." Zayn croaks.
"Look, I don't want to! But what choice do I have?!" I cry. "He won't be the same until things are better and I want him to live his life. I don't want him to go through the s*** of a life I did. He deserves more than this." Harry taps the bell on the table lightly, trying to lighten the mood.
No one says anything, yet, they really didn't need to. We were all just trying to process the situation which I could tell. Ideas were being thrown around in our minds but got turned down. I had absolutely no idea what to do. So I run into my room before breaking down into tears. Almost immediately there is a knock on the door. Niall walks in, pulling me to his chest.
"Why can't my life be simple?!" I exclaim.
"Shhh." Niall hushes me, playing with my hair. "It's ok."
"No it's not! No one knows how to help and there is no way both of us are going to stay!" I shout.
"Calm down Ali. Everything will be alright. Things have a funny way of working themselves out. You don't need to worry. Things will be fixed. I promise." Niall says. I nod slowly.
=============================================================================
*Niall's POV*
There is a scream from down the hall. Oh no. I pull the duvets off of me and rush into Allison's room. She was lying in bed clutching her pillow while crying. "Al." I murmur walking over to her. I wrap my arms around her. She digs her head into my chest bawling. "Aww. Babe. What's wrong?"
"Danny was taken away." Al mutters. "They took him."
"Who?" I furrow my eyebrows together.
"Ugh. It doesn't even matter." Al replies, swiping away the tears on her face.
"Let's just get you back to bed love. You seem like you could really use some rest." I whisper. She nods. I scoop her up and put her back under her blankets.
"Stay." Allison catches my arm as I am about to leave. "Don't go." I smile then shift under the covers. I wrap my arms around her.
=============================================================================
*Allison's POV*
"Danny." I call out, walking into his room. He was sitting on the floor playing with legos. He looks up at me. "We need to talk." I close the door and sit beside him. "I know you probably won't say anything but I have to tell you something either way." I lean against his bed. "Do you remember when dad read you the letter from me when I left?" Danny nods. "And how I told you that your real mum had died?" Another nod. "It turns out that she is actually alive." His eyes brighten. "She came to visit yesterday and wants us to move away with her and your little sister." I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear. "But if we go we can't see the boys or girls anymore. We won't see or talk to them because it is so far away. Do you want to leave?" There is a slight pause before he nods his head. "Will you promise to talk to them and be yourself?" He nods again. "Will you talk to me?"
"Yeah." Dan tilts his head.
"There is something else you should know." I squeeze my eyes shut. "I've made a decision and I did it in about five minutes. A five minute choice that desides the next ten years for you. I know you want to leave hun," I open my eyes. "and that's good, it's good that you want to be somewhere new. But I can't leave. You obviously don't need me as much as I thought you did and there are people here that truly do need me. Danny what I'm saying is, if you leave I won't be going with you. I have to stay here."
"You're not coming?" Danny questions.
"No." I sigh. "Are you still going to go?"
"I wanna meet her." Danny looks down at his lap.
"They are leaving tonight. She is coming in an hour to talk to us and take you to the airport." I explain slightly.
"Will you help me pack?" Danny asks. I nod. Danny hugs me. My little brother was leaving.
=============================================================================
"Don't you have a bag to take?" Niall furrows his eyebrows together when Danny and I come back downstairs two hours later.
"No." I respond in a hushed voice, holding Danny's hand tighter. We go out the front door. We all said our goodbyes about five minutes ago. I didn't tell anyone I was staying.
"Allison, where's your bag?" Jenna questions.
"I don't have one." I try to smile. "I know you want me to go to Australia with you, but honestly, I don't want to go. I need to stay here. Here is where my boyfriend, dad, and mum are. I can't leave them. I'm sorry but home is where the heart is. This is home." After a minute more of talking and two hugs I watch them get into the car. They drive off.
"You aren't going?" Louis gapes out with his eyes wide when he walks out.
"Of course not. How could I leave my dad?" I raise an eyebrow.
"What about Danny?" Dad croaks.
"He needs a normal life to grow up right. I'm already quite messed up so I figured I could stay for a little while." I shrug. Dad smiles huge before hugging me tight. I tighten my grip on him. I finally had people I could truly call mine.
=============================================================================
I walk into Danny's practically empty room. All that was left was the the TV, matress, bed frame, and packed boxes stacked on top of each other. I let my fingers run across the blue paint on the walls. The white carpet had been vaccumed even though no one was in here anymore. No one liked to come in here.
It has been a week since he left and I'm starting to accept it. Last night I didn't even sleep on his bed. A lot of things have actually changed this week. It was quite a lot of stuff to be honest with you. A little overwhelming.
Perrie and Danielle were about to move in. Louis trusts Niall and I completely. We actually made a deal that if we could keep it in our pants around him that we could share a room. That has been getting discussed a lot. Louis and Eleanor have talked about having a baby. CUTE! The 2014 tour was going to begin soon so I was just happy that I wouldn't be home alone. The YouTube channel has over 8 million subscribers.
I notice something on top of the TV. It was a CD case. I snatch it off. Danny Memories was written across it. I put it in the DVD player. I drop onto the edge of his bed as it begins to play. Tears almost immediately start to fall from my eyes.
I always knew this day would come
We'd be standing one by one
With our future in our hands
So many dreams so many plans
Always knew after all these years
There'd be laughter there'd be tears
But never thought that I'd walk away
with so much joy but so much pain
And it's so hard to say goodbye
But yesterdays gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
Hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Nanananana
Another chapter in the book cant go back but you can look
And there we are on every page
Memories I'll always save
Up ahead on the open doors
Who knows what were heading towards?
I wish you love I wish you luck
For you the world just opens up
But it's so hard to say goodbye
Yesterdays gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
Hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Everyday that we had all the good all the bad
I'll keep them here inside
All the times that we shared every place everywhere
You touched my life
Yeah one day we'll look back we'll smile and we'll laugh
But right now we just cry
Cause it's so hard to say goodbye
Yesterdays gone we gotta keep moving on
I'm so thankful for the moments so glad I got to know ya
The times that we had I'll keep like a photograph
Hold you in my heart forever
I'll always remember you
Nananana
I'll always remember you
yeah
I'll always remember you
Ok, This is the 42nd chapter. That means there are only a few chapters left! I am going to put multiple epiloges after the final chapter. I have decided that there won't be a sequel. I think there will be three epiloges. Yeah, three. Have a good day! Or night! Or whatever time it is for you!
