Adopted By The Sidemen

|Chapter 7|All Gone Wrong|

Josh's POV-Two days later

She's been missing for two days, we were contemplating calling the police, but we knew she couldn't have left the house because after she tried to run, we all took extra precautions leaving and entering the house. The one thing I was worried about was her health. Ethan and Simon had told us what had happened after Jamie stormed out the door. I knew that she had nothing to hurt herself with, but she hadn't eaten in over three days, and knowing her past, I really didn't want her to fall into old habits.

Scarlett's POV

I was sat with a throbbing headache and my stomach was aching for food. I stood up, deciding that it was about time I crawled out of my pit of depression and walked towards the door, I stumbled into it and unlocked it. My vision was blurry and I felt like I could collapse at any time, I knew I wouldn't make it down the stairs so I wobbled to Simon's door, hoping he was in there. I shakily raised my hand and knocked against it. It swung open and he looked down at me, shock taking over his every feature.

"Scarlett?" I stumbled forward into his arms, and he held me close,

"Simon, please help me, please," I hurried out,

"Josh?!" He called out, no response, "JOSH, QUICK!" He shouted louder, heavy footsteps were then heard coming up the stairs, "Quick!" They got faster and he jogged into Simons room.

"Scarlett?" I heard him say,

"Josh, help please," I whined and fell further into Simon's arms,

"How can I help Scarlett you need to tell me,"

"My head and my stomach,"

"I'm gunna go get you some water okay, and some food," I nodded my head slowly and fell fully into Simon, he lifted me up and placed me on his bed, sat upright, he swept my hair away from my face, once again and I hummed,

"I'm glad you're okay," He said and kissed my forehead, I nodded again,

"Here," I heard Josh say and he handed Simon a water bottle,

"Head back Scarlett," He said and leant my head back slightly, he placed the bottle to my lips and I drank a small amount but had to push it away and started coughing, "Just a bit more," He whispered, so I did it once again. I gradually took more and more until I ended up finishing the bottle. Josh's face looked filled with even more concern as I sat back up.

"I'm sorry," I said, not directed at particularly anyone,

"Hey what are you apologising for? It's not your fault,"

"Yes it is, I over reacted and let my thoughts get the best of me, I shouldn't have hidden the way I did, I'm really sorry, don't get rid of me please, I don't wanna go back," I said welling up,

"Hey we would never, it's okay, you're here now that's all that matters," Josh said, moving my hair from my face

"Please don't hate me, I didn't mean to make you worry,"

"Hey, aren't you listening it's fine, honestly, it's okay," Josh reassured,

"Just listen to him don't stress yourself out, it's okay," Simon added,

I nodded my head, not really listening to a word that they were saying but not wanting to cause any more issues than I already have. Whilst I was in my the closet I could here them pacing, shouting and looking around the house but I really didn't feel like coming out from my hiding spot, scared that they would be angry and shout at me.

Simon brought his hand up to check my temperature, but I flinched away from his hand. I knew Simon would never hit me, but I was so used to something like that happening that I just naturally did it. He looked hurt by my actions, but then dropped his hand and spoke to Josh, "Go tell the others yeah?"

Josh nodded and walked out the room. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to move away, I'm just really used to stuff happening it happens naturally, I'm not scared of you or anything, I guess I just kinda forgot that you guys aren't my old foster parents," He nodded in response and then rested his forehead against mine,

"I'm not your old foster parents okay? I would never hurt you, ever, so don't be scare of me, or the other boys, I know that's difficult, especially after the incident with JJ, but I promise you none of the others, including me, would hurt you or touch you in that way," He said and then kissed me on the forehead, a few tears leaked out my eyes, but Simon wiped them away instantly.

The peaceful moment was ruined by a stampede of footsteps, racing up the stairs. I pulled away from Simon and sat next to him as 8 familiar faces appeared, and two unfamiliar. Josh, Freya, Vikk, Tobi, Harry, Ethan, Jamie and JJ. Behind them was a tall, short haired blonde and a short-ish haired brunette.

"Oh thank god," Ethan sighed and rushed over, he grabbed my face and instantly inspected me for injuries.

"I'm fine Ethan," I stated, "But I'm really sorry, I didn't mean anything I said, to either of you," I said, looking at Jamie and pulling a frowny face. I saw Jamie sigh and come over to join me and Ethan in a hug.

"You can't keep doing this to me, I'm sick to death of it," Jamie whispered in my ear, I pulled away and looked at him confused, he sat in front of me with the fakest smile I have ever seen on his face. I looked down, confused and upset, "Hey guys, is it okay if I have a private conversation with Scarlett?" He asked, I heard a few 'yeahs' and then everyone walked out. And for the first time ever with Jamie, I felt scared to be alone with him. When the door shut he locked it and walked back over to me.

"I'm so done with your bullshit," He yelled at me, "All I've ever done is try to help you, and all you do is throw it back in my face," He started pacing, I knew when he started doing this he was angry, 

"Jamie, calm down please," I said standing up and taking cautious steps towards him,

"Don't tell me to calm down Scarlett, you made me like this, you pushed me to this point, if I break out in anger it's on you!" He said gradually raising his voice more,

"Jamie please, before you do something you regret," I was now stood about a metre away from his pacing body, he let out an animalistic growl, and grabbed the glass that was on Simons desk, I knew what was coming, so I ducked, and as soon as I did, it came flying towards the wall next to me, I backed away from him and leaned against the bed, I held my knees to my chest and started to cry, "Jamie, please stop you're scaring me," I sobbed out, he stomped towards me, and I felt my heart rate go up to the point that I could here it in my ears, he lifted my chin and looked me dead in the eyes,

"You are pathetic," He growled and stormed out the room, then Ethan came rushing in, he spotted the smashed glass and my scared eyes and rushed over, yet again

"Did he have one of his episodes?" He asked,

I just nodded and buried my head in his shoulder, "He really scared me Ethan, usually we can calm each other down, but he wouldn't listen," I choked out, "It's all gone wrong Ethan, all of it."
