Chapter Three.

We heard a loud bang and I screamed and ran faster, up the stairs and to her room. I could tell Liam and Louis were still behind me but the others weren’t. They were still coming up the stairs. I ran into mum’s room and froze.

‘Someone call an ambulance’ I cried

I ran over to my mum who was just lying there with a gun in her hand and blood coming out of her head.

I looked behind me and saw Louis left standing there.

‘Louis can you please call my dad?’ he nodded and then walked out of the room dialling dad’s number

Niall, Harry and Zayn ran into the room and saw me crying next to mum. Niall ran over to me and hugged me; I got up and cried into his chest.

‘I made my mum kill herself’ I cried

‘No, you didn’t. She made the decision’ Niall whispered

Liam came back in ‘Ambulance is on his way’ he said

 I sat on the bed and Niall sat on one side and Liam sat on the other. I was in shock, this had never happened to me before. Never even thought about something like this. I wanted to call Jaimie but I couldn’t, I couldn’t do anything. I froze in shock.

Soon after the ambulance arrived, the paramedics ran in and saw mum. I was still on the bed crying, the police soon arrived as well. When Dad arrived everyone except for Liam went out to him. I asked Liam to stay with me while the paramedics were taking mum and while the police were doing whatever they were doing.

He put his arm around me and I leaned into his shoulders.

‘You are going to be okay Leyna’ he said rubbing my arm

‘I need to call Jaimie’ I whispered

‘Where’s your phone? I will call him’

I handed Liam my phone and he went through my contacts to find Jaimie’s number.

‘Hi this is Liam Payne, I am with Leyna Higgins. She would like you to come here; she is at her mum’s house. Yeah. She asked me to call you. Liam Payne. Yes, that’s me. Okay, thank you. Bye.’

‘He’s on his way’

‘Thank you’

‘All good’

Once everyone including Jaimie had left Dad, the boys and I all went home. I was still crying and had been for a couple of hours. Jaimie had comforted me a bit but I never stopped crying.

When we got home I went straight to my room. I sat on my bed and leaned against the wall and just cried. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and the message was still there because I had to show the police the text.

I threw it on the ground and the back of it fell off but I knew it wouldn’t be broken. I saw Liam walk into my room slowly.

‘Hey Leyna, mind if I come in and talk?’

I shook my head; he came and sat down next to me on the bed.

‘Your dad would but he said he’s not very good at this type of stuff’

I laughed but then I cried more.

‘Come here’ Liam said as he hugged me ‘they are doing whatever they can at the hospital’

‘She’s already dead, I know it. All they are doing at the hospital is seeing if she had any issues or whatever’

‘We can-‘

‘Liam just shut up please, leave me alone!’ I screamed

He stood up and walked out. I couldn’t believe it, it just came out. I started crying more but in anger because all Liam was doing was trying to help and I screamed at him. I calmed myself down then went down the hall to the lounge room.

‘Where’s Liam?’ I asked not seeing him on the couch

‘I thought he was with you’ Dad said

‘He was but yeah, I will go find him’

I walked to his room and he was lying on his bed staring at the roof.

‘Knock knock’ I said as I reached his door

He sat up and I walked over and sat on the bed next to him.

‘I’m sorry Liam, I just don’t know what to do right now and �"‘

In the middle of my sentence his lips crashed down on mine.

‘Does that mean you forgive me?’ I laughed

‘I guess it does’ he laughed back

‘Liam!’ dad shouted up the hallway

‘Let’s go, boss is calling’ Liam said standing up

We walked up and walked into the lounge room and sat on the couch.

‘Okay boys, here’s your tour schedule for America’ Dad said handing each of the boys a timetable

‘Looks fun’ Niall smiled

‘Leyna, you will be coming with us on tour’ Dad turned and smiled at me

‘Are you serious?’ I asked

He nodded ‘you will be home schooled’

‘Awh thought I would get out of school but sweet’

I only had one year left of school and then I graduate. Spending my year 12 year with One Direction on tour was the life. We weren’t throwing a funeral for mum because she had told me and Dad ages ago that she didn’t want one and she told me again last year.

My phone started ringing.

‘It’s the hospital’ I said nervously

I answered it and it was Dr. McKay.

‘Hello Leyna, we discovered that your mum had depression but she also had leukaemia.’

‘Okay, thank you’ I hung up and told the boys what he had said

‘We better start packing’ Harry said

‘Wait, when do we leave?’ I asked

‘Tomorrow night’

‘Mind if I catch up with Jaimie for one last time before we leave?’ I smiled

‘Of course’

I went up to my room and rang Jaimie.
