[Harry]

I am rudely woken up by some strange noises. I groan and turn the lamp on to see Louis still sleeping beside me. Then who the hell is still awake at... three in the morning?

I carefully untangle my body from Louis' and carefully get off of the bed. Picking up my pyjama bottom and slipping it up my legs, I walk out of the room without making a single noise. As I walk downstairs, the noises gets louder. They sound like some shuffling noises, like someone's snooping the house or a room. I follow the noises and end up in front of My parents' room.

As I stand right in front of my parents' bedroom door, the noise suddenly comes to a stop. Without thinking twice, I push the door open to see the room dimly lit by the lamp's light, proving that someone was actually there in the room.

"Who's there?" I say above whisper, but hear nothing. I walk in the room and notice the cupboard is open. Walking to it, I open the cupboard door wider revealing the locker that, my parents told me, had important files inside and find it half open as well. Someone was definitely snooping in my parents' important files.

"Who's there?" I hear a girly voice say from outside the door.

"It's me. Harry." I say as I pull out all the files from the locker so I could arrange them.

"What are you doing, Harry? Why are you up so late?" Asks Andy as she walks in the room.

"Arranging these files." I say, leaving the part about someone snooping the room.

"Alright, let me help." She offers and takes some files from my hand, from which one falls to the ground. She keeps the files on the bed and picks up the fallen one.

"Who's Gemma?" She asks, looking at the file title that reads Gemma Styles kidnap case.

"She was supposed to be my elder sister." I reply, feeling a knot in my throat. I can't help the immediate sadness that takes over me at Gemma's mention, she's a sensitive topic for me to talk about.

Andrea sits on the bed and opens the file and I, out out of pure curiosity, take a seat beside her and read the file from over her shoulder.

April 15, 1992, Holmes Chapel.

Gemma Styles, Sixteen months old, daughter of Desmond and Anne Styles, was kidnapped from her own house. Mr. And Mrs. Styles had been receiving several threats from unknown senders, claiming that they would have to payback for sending Stan Lucas, an underworld criminal, to jail. The threats started when Lucas was arrested from London. According to the sources, Lucas had strong connection with (and probably worked for) Underworld Mafia Mark Tomlinson.

June 26, 1992, London.

Stan Lucas, who was given a life sentence has broken out from London jail. Sources says, Lucas had a constant visitor, Yaser Malik, who can be the main culprit behind the jailbreak. Yaser Malik is a well known criminal and a gang member of Mark Tomlinson. (More details in 'Stan Lucas jailbreak case')

January 19, 1994

Yaser Malik was arrested in the charges of murdering Troy Austin, Drama Teacher. According to Malik, he got into a fight with Austin, where he shot him out of wrath. But according to the Styles couple, Malik had been stalking the Austin family for a while now. Malik also confessed that he was the one to abduct Gemma Styles, but he refused to reveal where she is now. Malik also congratulated Desmond Styles and Anne Styles for their second baby which will be born in a month approx. He also told Styles to take care of their second baby as he (Malik) is the second one going to jail. This can be a threat considering the fact that Gemma Styles is still missing after Stan Lucas was sent to jail. (More details in 'Troy Austin murder case')

Andrea closes the file and frowns at the floor, maybe thinking. And well, I couldn't stop myself from doing the same. We both are sat in deafening silence, trying to put two and two together. I already knew Gemma's story, but I didn't know who took her. Apparently it was Yaser Malik.. Malik, I've heard tha- shit! Zayn Malik! They could be related since Zayn works for Mark too. And Yaser also killed Troy Austin, Louis' real father, does Louis know? Why would Mark take in Louis and his family when his gang member killed his father? Gosh, this is so fucked up.

"So.." Andy's voice pulls me out of my mini shock.

"You weren't supposed to read that I guess?" I ask, already knowing that she wasn't..

"Yeah, I think, but I did anyway." She shrugs and gets up of the bed before taking all the files and putting them in the locker.

"Andy?" I call out timidly and she hums in response while arranging the files in the cupboard. "Do you..maybe know.. where.. Gem-"

"Just because I'm his daughter doesn't mean I'm supposed to know everything he does." She says instantly, turning around to look at me and I notice her clenched jaw and furrowed eyebrows.

Tears built up in my eyes and I look away. "I'm sorry." I apologise and her features softens as I bring my hand up to wipe at my tears.

"Oh, Harry.." She says as she sits beside me again. "I know it might be hard, but you gotta be strong, love." She says and pulls in her warmth. A motherly warmth. Okay, she's too young, maybe a sisterly warmth.

"I just wish I had a sister you know." I cry on her shoulder as she caresses my head.

"It's okay, baby, it's alright. I don't know the truth yet, but I promise you to find it out and when I do, Gemma will be standing right in front of you. She'll be telling you how much she loves you and hug you the tightest." She says and I feel her kissing my head as she rocks us back and forth.

"Thank you, Andy." I say kissing her cheek before pulling away from the hug. I blush at my own actions because well, this is only the second time I'm meeting her and I'm already feeling so close to her.

I had expected her to laugh at my action but she instead leans in and kisses my head.

"You're welcome, baby brother. Now come on, go back to bed or you'll be tired all day long." She smiles.

My heart swells at the words 'baby brother', no one's ever called me that before. I nod at her as we get out of the room and go towards our respective rooms.

"Where were you?" Louis asks as soon as I enter my room. He's still in bed, just popped himself up on his elbows and is looking at me with sleepy eyes.

"Went to see Niall. I was missing him so bad, couldn't get myself to sleep without kissing him goodnight." I say as I lay beside him, but he gets into a sitting position, very abruptly, I must add.

"What the hell, Harry?! How can you-" I cut him off by pecking his lips.

"Calm down, Daddy. Just went to drink some water." I lie and pull him back so I could lay my head on his chest.

"You were about to get your friend killed." He mumbles, tightly wrapping his arms around my body and I kiss his chest before closing my eyes.

"Good night again, boyfriend." I whisper.

"Night, baby."
