Simon's Daughter
Chapter 29
Niall’s POV:
“Dani…what…happened?” We were all standing up by now. All confused at what happened. Was Julia in danger? Before she answered she sighed, then looked at all of us.
“Well lately Julia’s been a little…odd lately. Yesterday she dropped me off here, and her hands started shaking. Then just today, she was stumbling to get to her dressing room.” I still didn’t know what was wrong, and I needed to know, quickly.
“Is that it?” Harry asked, really concerned.
“Unfortunately, no…” Dani sighed again. “When we were getting ready for the next hundred photos, I knocked on her door to see if she was ready. She didn’t answer, so I walked in…and she laid there on the floor…” She trailed off at the end. I could feel some tears threatening to spill over, but I held them back. “She passed out.” Dani finally finished.
“Oh my god…” That was all anybody could even say. I saw Zayn out o the corner of my eye, and saw him take his phone out.
“W-what are you doing?” I asked.
“Well if we don’t know what’s happening, I know someone who probably does. This is probably why she didn’t tell me the whole story…” Everyone’s eyes widened from realization.
Christa’s POV ( A/N: long time no see, right?):
I haven’t spoken to Julia in days, but I’m sure that’s what she wanted. I went back to the dorm the other day to get the rest of my belongings, and she was nowhere to be found. I ended up over at my mom’s house. I told her what happened but not about the whole ‘not eating’ thing with Julia. It would only make her call Uncle Simon, and Julia would hate me forever.Honestly, I just wanted to see her again. I’m sure she didn’t want to see me, though. I just really worried about her and I didn’t want her to be unhealthy. This is the last thing she needs right now. Breaking me away from my thoughts, my phone started to buzz next to me.
“Hello?” I answered, not bothering to look at the caller ID.
“Babe, we need to know what happened.” I heard Zayn’s voice through the other line. I knew what he was talking about, but I just couldn’t bring myself to telling the whole story.
“What are you talking about?” I asked trying to play it cool.
“You know what I’m talking about.” His voice was stern, like there was something worse going on.
“Is everything okay?” I asked nervously. I heard the rest of the boys in the background.
“No, this is serious. It’s about Julia…” He trailed off, and I quickly sat up.
“Oh my god…is she okay?” I asked, suddenly scared at what was going to come out of his mouth next.
“We don’t know. If you tell us what happened between you two, we might find out.” I sighed at his response. There was no way I could do this over the phone.
“Okay well come over here, I’ll text you the address…” I heard the line disconnect. I quickly texted Zayn the address, and sighed, leaning back against the couch.
No later than twenty minutes, the boys were here. I heard the doorbell, and quickly got up to answer it. I opened it, revealing the boys and Danielle. I gave Zayn a quick kiss on the cheek, and lead them over to the couch. They explained everything that happened. My tears started sliding down my cheek, when I heard that she passed out.
“Do you know why this is happening to her?” Niall asked. I sighed and nodded my head slowly. Everyone’s eyes widened and looked at me.
“Tell us, please. You’re our only hope.” Niall said again. I heard the pain in his voice. It was shaky, and I could tell he was nervous and scared. His face was red, showing that he was crying earlier.
“Julia…she’s um…” I could barely get the words out. I felt Zayn rubbing my back gently in circles trying to make me feel better. “She’s n-not eating. She’s starving herself.” I finally got out. I felt more tears starting to fall down my face, and I buried my face in my hands. I could hear someone stand up next to me, and I figured it was Niall. I heard little sniffles coming from the others, and nothing from Niall. I knew he was angry.
“This is all my fault…” I heard him say.
“Niall, mate...calm down. You didn’t know…” Liam said comfortingly.
“I should have known! She looks so weak and small and pale! How could I have possibly not known!? I’m the stupidest person ever!” He was yelling at this point but I wouldn’t blame him. This was all terrifying. Julia was sick and we all knew that. There was thunder coming from outside, and the rain was pouring down, heavily.
“Y-You guys can stay here for the night…” I said weakly. My face was read and my eyes were very puffy. Everyone nodded their heads, but stayed silent.
“Um…I’m going to go call Eleanor…and tell her what happened.” Danielle said softly. She stood up and went into the hallway. I never imagined that this would all happen to Julia. She seemed so happy back in London, and when she came here…her life sort of fell apart. And still is.

Julia’s POV:
I didn’t feel like catching a cab when I left the hotel. I figured I could find my way back before it was pitch black outside. The sun was setting, but I didn’t care. I should have, though. It was already morning now, and I was still walking. I was almost there so I couldn’t complain now. As I entered the familiar building to get to my dorm, I saw Matt at the corner of my eye. I smiled at him, and he weakly smiled back.
“Hey…” I said, rubbing my arm from the coldness.
“Uh, hi.” He said, nervously.
“What are you doing here?” I asked him biting my bottom lip, awkwardly.
“I was just coming to check on you. You know…to make sure you’re okay…” He shrugged his shoulders.
“That’s sweet of you…thank you.” I gave him a small smile and he nodded.
“Are you…alright?” He asked, as I looked down.
“I broke up with Niall?” It came out as more of a question, but it was because it felt unreal. I felt a few tears roll down my cheeks, and I wiped them away quickly.
“Oh…I’m sorry to hear that…if you ever need me, just…call me.” He smiled gently at me, and came closer to hug me. I felt so safe and protected in his arms, and I never wanted him to let go. Unfortunately he let go, and then started to walk away.
“W-wait!” I said, and he turned back around towards me. “Please stay…” I asked, and he nodded his head. I let him into my room, and I sat down on my bed. I’m surprised he even stayed. I knew he hated what I was doing to my body, yet he still comforted me. If Niall ever find out what I’m doing, he’ll probably never want to see me again…
