Dark Corner

it was the last song, and our fans would be freaking out. because One Direction would pop up. many fans of us were fans of them too. so they would like that.

"are you in for something new?" Sam asked, I kept quiet, because my show was already done, I had to sing one song which we never practiced before, so I would only sing that and then I would be done. the fans started to scream louder and I guess they were on stage.

"Hello New York, we're so happy you would have us here." One of then said. "we're going to perfrom a song with our lovely Samantha." I could only imagine her blushing right now.

the first tunes of Best Song Ever started to play and I sang the song with them, there was one point where Sam screamed something in the crowd and I just kept on singing, but no one
noticed. not even the boys who were one stage with her. The crowd loved seeing them perform together. It made me smile, because Sam had a huge smile on her face.

"That was amazing," she breathed heavily, I laughed at her. "The fans loved seeing us perform together, did you see them scream when the boys ran out. I wonder what our ships will be." she said excitedly.

"ahw, that's so nice. I heard them scream too and I think the fans will love your ships and ship it all over the world." I winked, she just started at me blankly, then she broke out in a smile.

"Harry." she pushed me to the side, I looked behind me, there he was walking towards us.

"Harry." I grumbled, not so happy he was here. You can't really blame me, all he did to me was hurt me. So no, he wasn't my favorite person in the world.

"that's mr. Styles for you, waitress." he said eyeing me, and then beeming a smile at Samantha. She didn't defend me and I don't blame her really, she really liked him, I could tell. Maybe I should try and be nice to him.

"alright, sir." I gave him my sweetest smile. and turned my back at them and walked away. I heard quiet sobs coming from my left. I quickly followed the sound and I finally stood in front of a door.

I opened it quietly. "Hello?" I asked unsure if I was hallucinating because the crying stopped. "Go away!" someone screamed.

"no, it's alright, I won't harm you or anything. I'm as powerless as a fly how bad that comparison even was, I mean it." I heard a giggle from the corner of the room.

"that's the worst comparison I've ever heard really." the boy sniffled.

"care to tell me what really happened, or do you just want to talk about flies, your choise." I said and the boy giggled again.

"well there was this guy and he was really mean to my mum. So I told him to stop and he did, but then he came after me and I fled, and I haven't seen my mum since that happened which feels like it happened hours ago."

"alright, well do you know where it happened, we can go look for your mum there and see if she's still there." I proposed he came out of the dark, he had brown hair and he seemed so helpless.

"so what's your name?" I asked taking his hand in mine, he looked up and cringed, the reaction I get most times.

"My name is Alex, and my mum told me not to judge by looks." he seemed so proud of his mum, like she was his world maybe she was.

"my name is Scarlett, and I think your mum is very wise and more mums should tell their children that." he beamed me a smile and we walked out the building which was still crowded with fans. funny how they loved a person, but didn't know I was the actual voice.

"here this way." he pulled my hand and pulled me towards a dark part of this area. "and how old are you Alex?" I asked, he started walking faster, eager to go to his mother.

"I'm nine and an half." he said, then he stopped death in his track, looking at the figure lying on the gound. "Mother!" he screamed, running to the figure. I quickly ran after him.

"oh, mama, what did they do to you, was it that man, that mean man." he cried, lying next to his mother. he cuddled into her chest.

his mother didn't look good, she had her face smeared with blood, her hands were shaking and her hair was all over the place, she was covered in dirt and breathed heavily. But the smile she wore when Alex cuddled into her, was a smile that said how she would miss him, how she was proud of him.

"oh Alex, I'm so happy I could see you before..." she trailed off, I had tears in my eyes from looking at the scene.

"ma'am, it's not to late you know, we could get you to a hospital and all fixed up." I said, this was the first time she noticed my presence, she looked up with bright blue teary eyes.

"I'm sorry, but... but I can't really. I could never afford going to the hospital." she flinched in pain and a tear rolled down my cheek.

"I'll pay for it, no strings attached, you don't have to pay me back, just please let me get my car and help you." and before she could response I was gone, running as fast as I could to get my car.

when I came back, I got out quickly and ran towards them. "now Alex, you need me to help your mother get up." I told him. "just follow my lead." I said, Alex had tears streaming down his face but did as he was told.

"put your arm under her's and then at the count of three we lift her." I told him sternly, he nodded and then wrapped his arm around his mother, I did the same and I counted.

"one... two... three." we lifted her up and we started walking towards my car. I held his mother tightly and lifted her up as much as I could, so she woud barley have to walk.

"now open that door and I'll lift her up so she can get in the car." Alex nodded again and opened the door and I lifted his mother inside. we made sure she was well and I quickly took a place in the driver's seat.

"now, we're going to the hospital, ma'm you need to hold on for a little bit longer, just think about your son alright." I told her and started the car and then drove to the local hospital.

they took her with them and Alex and I stayed behind. "thank you so much mrs. Scarlett." he said and his big blue eyes looked so much like his mother's

"I'll wait until you can get to your mother again, then I'll have to leave alright? here's my number call it if you need anything." I said and I quickly scribbled my number down handing it to Alex, he gave me a hug and I hugged him back.

we were both startled when someone called my name. I looked up and met the eyes of Harry, he looked down at the child.

"what are you doing here." he spat at me, I raised my eyes brows, Alex hid behind my legs, and really I don't blame him.

"Sorry, mr. Styles, if I made your tour wait, but was an emergency sir, I hope you don't mind." he laughed shaking his head, looking down on me, like he was better then me.

"Yes, actually I do mind, and what's with the kid? and we would drive away without you and no one would care, really. I even heard them consider that."

"I highly doubt that, mr. Styles. I'm pretty important to the crew, this kid's mother just went into surgery just don't talk about him with such disgust. Why are you even here?" I asked eyeing him up and down giving him a scowl.

"Yeah, like the crew would even give a sh.it about you, please they adore Sam, and you're the total opposite. And I'm here because a close family friend of mine just went into surgery."

"the crew aren't very fond of Sam to be honest, and she isn't really fond of them either." I said honestly, I can't really stand this guy, and I'm trying to be decent for Alex, or Sam, and maybe Harry.

"yeah, like I should believe that. But really are you such a sl.ut that you're a teen mum?" he pointed to Alex who was still holding onto me. he was rather small so he fitted behind my legs.

"how can you say something like, besides, that you aren't a virgin anymore, doesn't mean everyone around you is supposed to have lost their virginity." I snap at him. How can he, Alex is right behind me.

"Yeah, you probably gave your virginity to someone at a random bar telling you he's madly in love with you, the next morning you're on the street because you're so ugly." I crossed my arms and huffed.

"are you deaf, I just told you I'm a virgin, or are you just stupid. Come on Alex, we don't need to be in the same room as this low lifer." I said and Harry rolled his eyes at me. I took Alex' hand and pulled him towards the reception.

"is there anywhere I can get a tab open for money, so the family Parker can get as much money as they want," I asked the lady shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but we can't do that. But you can leave your bank number and say how much money we can use." she told me, I nodded.

"how much do you think they need, you know to get the mother healed and such things." I asked. "and count food within that." I quickly added.

"uhm... I think it should be around the four thousand dollar, depends how bad his mother is hit, but what I've seen when she came in, you should pay four thousand dollar." she said, and I nodded.

"then I would like to leave five thousand dollar here, plus my phone number, but that's only for mrs. Parker herself, Alex Parker, and anyone related to them, or close family friends." I told her as she wrote this down. I made sure she had my bank number and phone number.

"do you want anything to eat little one?" I pinched his nose and he giggled and nodded his head eagerly.

"I want chocolate, can we get that here?" he asked.

"I've seen a vending machine so we're sure about that one, but maybe they have something in the cafetaria from the hospital." I ruffled his hair and he jumped up and ran away.

I quickly followed him and found him at this little bar with all different kinds of snacks, he looked at everything like it was heaven. "Pick one." I whispered and he pointed at something and the man grabbed it for him.

"here's my card." I said but it was snatched out of my hand. "please take mine," an all to familiar voice said from behind me.

"no please it's alright, you don't have to be a gentlemen.'' I got my card back and gave it to the man, he nodded and got the right amount of money from it.

"Sorry, but Alex is my responsibility now, Scarlett." he said my name with so much disgust, I don't even get why millions of fans loved him.

"no sorry but you aren't, what would make you say that?" I looked at Alex trying to find answers. Harry grinned.

"since his mother is my friend and not yours, I'll take care of him until she's released out of the hospital." I scoffed.

"you don't even know his mum, and I don't think you're friends with her either, Alex do you know mr. Styles?" I asked turning my attention to Alex.

"uhm... I might recognize him, but I rather stay with Scar then with him, you seem really mean." He took my hand and I smiled at Alex.

"what you can't do that, sorry Alex but you really need to go with me and not with some stranger, your mother would have wanted it." He said, and Alex believed him.

"But I rather stay with Scar, she's nice, I don't like you mr. Styles, but everything for my mum." he let go of my hand and walked towards Harry.

"just call me Harry, and I'll take good care of you. Scarlett is the one who isn't nice from the two of us really." Alex nodded sadly but walked away with Harry leaving me alone.

I ordered a chocolate bar and was about to eat it when a girl started crying. "but I wanted that one mum, You knew I wanted the other one." the tears rolled down the girl's cheeks.

the mother looked lost. "I'm sorry hun, but we're already short on money and now with dad in the hospital..." she trailed off.

"here take mine." I said handing her my chocolate bar, the girl took it eagerly. "no you don't have to really, she has to learn she can't get anything." she wanted to take the bar out of her daughter's hand but I stopped her.

"nah it's alright, in a hospital things can get to your head, I wasn't really planing on eating it either way. Have a nice night." I told her and the mother beamed me a smile.

"thank you, have a good night yourself. you're a fine young lady." I waved it off and blushed, I walked away but I heard her mum say to her daughter.

"that's the reason we shouldn't judge by looks."

Notes

first of all I want to say thank you for reading. Harry's being really stupid isn't he? Alex was a character who I added for you guys to see Scarlett was actually a good person. but he has actually become a really important character, without him things wouldn't have gone they way they will go.

confusing I know. I'm sorry
