Bullies To Brothers *{{*ON HOLD*}}*

~NELLY'S POV~

I woke up at 9am feeling as shitty as I did going asleep. Who wouldn't? I just found out that the person I love likes someone else and is planning on asking her out!

I released myself from under Niall's arm and went to the kitchen and boiled the kettle. Hmmm, what to have for breakfast? I opened each cupboard one after the other and I finally found a not very well hidden jar of heaven. Fucking Nutella. Those bastards hid the Nutella! They can take that breakfast I was gonna make them and shove it up their arses. The girls can get breakfast though, not the boys.

I got the big toaster out and put five slices of bread in. I got out five cups and put the things in to make my granny's special tea and poured the water in. I popped the toast up and spread some Nutella on them and loaded the toaster up with new bread and waited for it to cook. I decided to wake the girls up for their breakfast.

"Eleanor." I whispered shaking her. She groaned and actually woke up. Well, that was easy!

"What?" She asked groggily.

"I made breakfast! Wakey wakey!" I sad smiling and ripped the blanket from her so she'd get up. Aren't I nice! Onto Ally.

"Ally. Wake up!" I shook her but she wouldn't move. She looked dead.. I checked her pulse on her neck and I couldn't feel one!

"Eleanor! Get the fuck over here!" I demanded quietly.

"What's up?" She asked eating a piece of toast.

"I can't find a pulse! She isn't moving either!"I panicked and Eleanor seemed calm. Dafuq?!

"Have out checked to see if she's actually breathing first?" She's probably just a heavy sleeper and her pulse might be on the other side of her neck or on her wrist." Eleanor explained. She's actually a lot smarter than she seems.

"Nope..." I said.

"What are you muttering about?!" Dani groaned pissed off and got up out of bed.

Strangely, she then seemed happy and began drinking her tea and taking I a bite of her toast. Jeez, its only Nutella on toast and a cup of tea, nothing exciting.

"I made breakfast and I thought Ally was dead." I explained casually and began to wake Perrie up, giving up on Ally.

"Perrie. Get up. I made breakfast!" I said and shook her and she woke up easily as well.

"Yay. Thank you Nelly." How is she happy in the morning?

"Your welcome. And its on the island and you have tea as
well." I smiled and proceeded to mission impossible: waking Ally.

I went over to her and pinched her nose and covered her mouth. A few seconds later her eyes opened wide and she gasped. He he he.

"What the fuck?!!" She exclaimed.

"You wouldn't wake up and I made you breakfast. At first I thought you was dead cos I couldn't feel a pulse and you wasn't moving." I defended myself.

"Oh, thank you! And I can only find a pulse on my left wrist and I'm a heavy sleeper." She said surprisingly happy and went to get her food. Why are these girls so happy? I joined them at the island and ate my now cold toast and medium temperature tea. Yum.

I heard a few deep, raspy groans. Some, maybe all of the boys are up. Fabulous!

"Why didn't you wake us for breakfast too? We like to eat as well!" Harry pouted.

"Fuck you and your shitty hiding places." I snapped at him and continued eating. They all seemed shocked.

"What's up with you?" Louis asked.

"Well, I woke up and was about to make everyone breakfast, but then I opened he fourth cupboard and found a terribly hid jar of Nutella. Why the fuck didn't anyone say there was Nutella?!" I exclaimed and realized that four of them are possibly innocent here and put four slices of bread in the toaster for them.

"I'm sorry to four of you, I will make you breakfast. One of you can make your own whoever it was who hid it. Well, unless you own up now of course." I bribed.

"Sorry Nelly." I heard a muttered apology from someone with an accent. It wasn't an Irish one though.

"Forgiven, who hid it?" I asked.

"Me." Zayn said with an innocent look on his face. Fuck him and his puppy eyes!

"Its alright, just don't keep these things from me next time, it really hurts my feelings. And my tummy." I smiled and popped the toaster up and spread the Nutella on them and put another piece in. I heard another groan and saw a mess of blonde hair.

"Where's my food too?" Niall asked cutely and couldn't help the smile that tugged at my lips and I handed him a plate with Nutella toast.

"There's tea on the side too." I said. It still hurt that he likes someone else.

"Today's the day mate!" Harry patted Niall's back and he gave a nervous smile. So he's asking that girl today? Grrr.

I'm gonna miss cuddling with scary movies and waking up with his arms around me. Well fuck the bitch who is trying to steal I'm from me. This means war you slut.

"I'm just going to get a shower." I excused myself with a smile so they didn't ask questions.

I got my clothes for the day; a floral flowing vest top, a black skater skirt and my tiny black shorts i wear underneath and my white Nike Air Force low tops. After sorting my outfit, I grabbed my towel and got in the shower. I washed myself then shaved my legs and let my mind wonder some more. I tend to do this a lot don't I? Anyway.

Yesterday, I found out that Niall likes another girl. How could i be so stupid to believe Zayn when he said that Niall likes me. He was obviously just said it to give me false hope that I would be with him one day. It is pretty obvious it would never happen though isn't it? There's Niall, amazing in every way, luscious soft lips, beautiful bright blue eyes and perfectly styled blonde hair, adorable laugh, attractive accent, brilliant sense of humor balanced out with an equally brilliant personality. Compare that to me. I'm bland. My eyes are a boring version of Niall's blue ones, my lips are just average, my hair is dull, I'm a total bitch with anger issues who has an abusive uncle, no family and a bad past. We're opposites except for the fact that we both love food. We will never be together.

At that second I just couldn't take I anymore and i broke down crying. Call me weak but if you have ever been in this situation you'd understand. How am I gonna live here and see him every day. Is that girl he's gonna ask out even pretty? Is she a whore? Is she nice? I hope she is for Niall's sake, and my own. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if he brought a train wreck home with him one day.

I stood up and turned the shower off then stepped out of it then wrapped my towel around me and entered my room.

Speak of the devil.

"You have a habit of appearing on my bed when I get out of the shower don't you?" I asked Niall and grabbed my clothes off my bed.

"I guess I do. Was you crying in there?" He asked worried.

"No, why?" I played dumb and absentmindedly rubbed my eye.

"Don't lie to me. What's up? Are you hurt?" He asked me again. Funny question.

Am I hurt? You have no fucking idea. I fell for you and now your gonna go and ask some walking vagina out and weren't even gonna tell me. I laughed bitterly to myself and replied to his dumb questions.

"No I'm fine, really. Did you want something?" I asked.

"I was just seeing if you was okay. You seemed annoyed about something downstairs and i came up here to ask whats up." He said. I'm not annoyed; I'm fucking heartbroken you asshole.

"I'm not annoyed about anything, I've just never bunked off school before." I saved myself and laughed to make it more believable. Niall smiled an stood up.

"Good, I'll let you get dressed then. See you downstairs." He said and left the room.

I sighed and flopped on my bed with my towel still wrapped around me. What am I gonna do? I sighed again and dried my body then my hair. I applied deodorant then moisturizer to my body and legs then i tugged my top on and my skirt and tucked my top into it. I sat at my mirror and looked at myself. Of course he knew I had been crying. My eyes were blood shot and red. Thank god he let it go, well why wouldn't he. I mean its not as of he likes me, right. Anyway, I applied my eyeliner, mascara and lip balm. I didn't need concealer anymore since my bruises and cuts had healed and disappeared! Yay! Some good news today. I did a braided headband and secured it with a few bobby pins then i put my shoes on.

Finally, I think I'm done. I look in the mirror and check my appearance. Good. I took a few minutes to debate going downstairs. I might as well, if i don't go down then someone's bound to come up and see what I'm doing. I grabbed my phone which I put on charge before my shower and headed downstairs and went straight to the kitchen to avoid having to talk to Niall. Childish, I know. Sue me.

"Little black skirt just walked into the room, making heads turn, Nelly will you make us a brew..." Harry sung Little Black Dress but alternated a few words and I laughed. Even in my shittiest moods, Harry still can manage to make me laugh.

"What's a brew?" I asked him.

"Its another word for a cup of tea. English people say it." He chuckled and I boiled the kettle.

"Oh, okay. Who wants a brew?!" I shouted into the living room causing Harry to laugh.

"No thanks!" They all called out.

"What's so funny? Can't an American use British vocabulary?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Just the way you say it. It's weird, but not in a bad way." Harry explained and I poured him a 'brew' and passed it to him. Then an idea passed my mind.

Can I ask Harry who Niall is gonna ask out? Can I trust him? I'm not sure. I think I'm better asking Zayn. Yeah. I think I will do that.

I walked into the living room and Niall eyes snapped up to my face then went straight down to my bare legs. Aw c'mon. He's seen them before! I wear shorts all the time, what's so different? Cos I'm wearing a skirt, duh. Why am I talking to myself? Shh.

"Ready for the mall?" Ally asked me. What? Since when?

"Since when did we decide to go to the mall? Why wasn't i told this?" I asked confused.

"Niall, you were supposed to tell her when you went up." Liam rolled his eyes.

"Well she just got out the shower and was in her towel! What do you expect?" Niall defended himself and blushed, I followed suit. The girls eyes went wide and the boys burst out laughing.

"Way to go Niall!" Louis cheered and I glared at him.

"Its not like that. She was in the shower and I decided to wait for her to get out so I could ask her if she was coming to town or not, then she came out in her towel and I wanted to give her some privacy to get dried." Niall explained and I nodded n agreement, even though that's not completely true.

"Sure..." Ally giggled.

"Anyway, are you ready?" Liam asked.

"Yeah, let me just grab my bag and that. Zayn, can I talk to you a moment in private?" I asked him.

"Yeah sure." He said and followed me.

We got to my room and I shut the door behind me and locked the door.

"What's up?" He asked and sat on my bed and I copied.

"Well, I last night I heard a tiny part of your conversation. It was unintentional." I paused.

"What part did you hear?" Zayn asked me.

"When someone said, 'Just tell her. I'm 99.99% sure she won't say no.' And then Niall said, 'Fine, when? How? Where? How do you know she won't just laugh in my face or something?' Or something like that. Who is it? Who is he asking?" I asked and I felt tears coming on and tried blinking them away. Zayn seemed shocked and unsure of how to answer.

"All I want to know is her name, is she pretty and if she is a nice person and of she is a whore. As much as it hurts that Niall likes someone else, I can live with it if she is decent and pretty and has self respect." I helped him answer.

"I can't give a name, she is beautiful, an amazing person and is totally not a whore." Zayn said. So he is really asking this girl out. At least she is decent.

"Why can't I have a name? Please Zayn!" I begged and a tear escaped. I hate crying front of people believe it or not. Zayn sighed.

"Niall's not gonna be happy at all but I can see it hurts you. Her name is... Nelly." He sighed again and pursed his lips.

Woah, hold the fuck up. Nelly as in me? Or someone else? It can't be me. No way.

"So this bitch is some sort of imposter or something?" I asked getting even more angry.

"No, its not an imposter, Nelly." Zayn said looking me dead in the eye.

"So, Niall is planning on asking a girl out who's called Nelly? Nelly as in...me?" I asked and had to restrain the smile that tried to show.

"Yeah, Nelly. But don't say anything or make it obvious I said anything or Niall will flip at me. But he still might be shy and back out because he doesn't believe you like him so don't be too disappointed of he doesn't ask, okay? Eventually, he will ask you, he just isn't the most confident with these things." Zayn explained and I was smiling like an idiot. My perception of all of this was wrong.

Niall likes me! I think the sun just got brighter or something because my day just got 1000 times better!

"Are you being serious with me Zayn? So Niall really does like me?" I asked to make sure.

"I promise! He does like you. You will say yes won't you?" He asked me.

"No." I said.

"What?!" Zayn asked completely confused.

"I'm gonna jump on him and tackle him to the floor and kiss him then say yes." I smirked and we both laughed and heard something outside the door.

"What was that?" I asked worried and got up to open the door.

"Thank god its just the girls!" I sighed.

"Where's Niall?" I asked worriedly.

"He's watching the TV downstairs with the others, we just came up to see what's taking so long then we heard something about you jumping on someone and kissing them. Fill us in?" Perrie ordered with a smile.

"I told Nelly about Niall's plans to ask her out." Zayn said.

"Woah, why?" Dani asked.

"She thought he was gonna ask someone else out. She heard part of the conversation last night." He answered for me.

"He asked me if I would say yes to him of he asked me and I said, I will jump on him, kiss him then say yes. Cheesy, but its better and funner than just saying 'Yeah. Ok' Isn't it?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, its cute!" The girls said smiling.

"Anyway, i'm not gonna get my hopes up. He might change his mind and I will have just wasted my time. Are we going shopping or what?" I asked changing the subject.

"When you are ready!" Eleanor said.

I grabbed my bag and put my money in it then gave myself a once over in the mirror and I was ready to go.

"Let's go!"

We went downstairs and rounded the boys up to tell them we were ready to go.

"We ready?!" Ally asked excited and Harry smiled her. They need to get together, seriously!

***AT THE MALL***

~NIALL'S POV~

Oh my God. I don't know how to ask her. Or when. We were in KFC for a change and the girls got a table while we ordered the food.

"I don't know how or when to ask her out! What should I do, you know I'm no good with these things."I said to them.

"We can all split off and leave you two alone to talk. Just tell her that you have liked her a while and she will tell you how she feels, then boom. Baby Niall's and Nelly's running around." Louis said. Way to being serious.

"But where? I can't do it here or in the middle of a shop." I asked them.

"I know, after you've ate here, take her for a walk to the fountain or the park and talk to her. That way y will be more calm and there will be less noise so you can think." Liam suggested.

"Okay, so after we eat, we go for a walk and I tell her I like her. Either something great or something terrible can happen." I said to myself.

"Exactly, no need to be nervous Ni, it will go well, I swear. You can't back out now. Its now or never." Zayn said seriously.

"Here's your order. Enjoy!" The guy behind the counter said and handed us our food and we took it to the table.

Oh my fucking sweet Jesus. I just realized that we have about thirty minutes until I tell Nelly how I feel about her and then maybe ask her if I can take her out. I haven't even figured out what I'm gonna say exactly. I know I need to tell her I like her, well love her, then she will either tell me she likes me as more or as just a friend. No biggy, I'm just gonna make a twat show of myself if she doesn't like me, right? Urgh, the effort!

"You good, Ni?" Nelly asked me confused.

Then I realized I've just been stood there looking out of the window while everyone is eating their food. And to make it better, they're like halfway through theirs which means I don't have a lot of time. And weirdly, I've lost my appetite too. I have a whole box of sexy KFC sat in front of me and I'm suddenly not hungry, everyone's gonna think, well know that something's up. Ah well, I've got bigger things on my mind right now.

"Guys, who wants more food? I'm not that hungry to be
honest." I asked them trying to sound calm.

"I will have some!" Nelly said. Thank god, more time to spare.

I passed the box over so she could help herself and she took some fries. That's it? Fucking fries! That's only like five or ten minutes to think of what to say.

"I'll be right back." I said and went to the toilets.

I need to calm the fuck down. I'm only saying a sentence or two. The truth will set you free. What the fuck am I doing? Confessing to murder? And why am I having a fucking inner monolog? I am stressing the shit out!

Right. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. I need to think if what to say.
Make small talk to calm down. Tell her I like her but work it into a conversation some how. If she likes me tell her I really, really like her. If she really, really likes me too, tell her I love her. If by a miraculous chance she loves me too, I will just die of happiness. The whole talking her out thing doesn't need to be done right this second. As long as she knows how I feel abut her. That's the main thing, right? Then things will work themselves out. Good. I know what to do. It still doesn't mean I'm fucking ready though. Anyway, shit must be done.
I walk out of the bathrooms and head to our table where everyone is putting their rubbish in the bins and getting their things together.

"There you are, I was just on my way to get you." Liam said and nodded his head in Nelly's direction. She was currently talking to Dani and the girls about anything that happened on Pretty Little Liars or something.

"Wish me luck." I sigh ad roll my eyes at him.

"Good look mate." Liam said and patted my back.

"I wasn't being serious, but thanks. Let's just get this over and done with. I'm gonna end up backing out."

"How do you know he's not a rubbish boyfriend, eye?" Nelly asked Perrie raising an eyebrow at her. Who is she talking about? Oh god, I bet she's already with someone or likes another guy. For fucksake!

~NELLY'S POV~

I wonder if he will tell/ask me. I really hope he does, but if he doesn't, then he must not be ready. Like Zayn said.

"Do you think he's gonna do it?" I asked the girls who are stood front of me. We were just talking about Pretty Little Liars.

"I'm sure he will. He might just be stalling or something or thinking of what to say. Don't sweat it." Ally said smiling.

"Yeah, he's probably just nervous. He's not too used to these things. That doesn't mean he's gonna be a rubbish boyfriend by the way, he just doesn't know what to say." Perrie said swirling her straw around her cup.

"How do you know he's not a rubbish boyfriend, eye?" I asked Perrie.

"Who's not a rubbish boyfriend?" Zayn said and wrapped his arm around Perrie's shoulder.

"Certainly not you babe." Perrie giggled.

"We're just seeing who's be the better boyfriend out of Channing Tatum and Liam Hemsworth. But they can go fuck themselves, can't they Zayn?" I smiled at him.

They were really random names and it was on the spot. But I don't think it was too hard to believe because I think I heard a sigh of relief from someone in the group but I don't know.

"They sure can." Zayn winked.

"Um, Nelly? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Niall asks and I looked at the girls who were grinning.

Aw snap! I wonder of he's gonna ask me now! I hope he does!
A/N: Cliffhanger! Sorry guys. Do you hate me for it? Fine. Read on I guess. ;) x
Hehehehehe...
"Yeah sure. What's up?" I asked him with a small smile so it doesn't seem as if I'm on drugs or something.

"Come walk with me." He said with a smile.

Aw, I want to kiss him. He's adorable when he's nervous! He has no need to be nervous, i'm not gonna say no! But it might not even be for that. Ugh, i need to chill! I can't get my hopes up.

"Where are we going?" I asked him.

"Just for a walk, to the fountain maybe. Or to the park. I don't know." He laughed.

"Well that helps!" I laughed with him.

We made small talk while we walked. Just random things, favorite singers, colors, songs, until we reached the fountain. There weren't my people there today, probably because its a school day and its not busy during school hours.

"So, what did you wanna talk about? I would have forgotten by now." I said with a laugh and took a slurp of my ice cold coke that I got at KFC.

"Um, well, I don't really know how to say it." He said nervously and his cheeks tinted slightly.

"Say what? Whatever it is, you can just say it, you can tell me anything. Its only me." I said with a small smile and he shrugged his jacket off and placed it beside him on the bench.

"Right. Um-well. I really like you Nelly. I have since that day when we brought you back the house, after the...incident.
And I just can't keep it locked away anymore. I understand if you don't don't feel the same way and I'm totally cool if you just wanna stay frie-" I cut him off by placing my hand over his mouth to stop him.

"Sorry, but its the only way to stop you chatting that bullshit you was about to say. I mean he second part, the first part was perfect. And that sounded super bitchy, sorry. Anyway, I really like you too Niall. More than you think, to be honest. And strangely, I have since the day when you brought me back to the house as well. Sorry for stealing your thunder, I just needed to stop you right there and tell you that!
Anyways, back to you..." I said and blushed. I could feel him smile under my hands, and I saw it when I removed them.

"No worries! And its me who should be saying I like you more than you think. I-um-I love you Nelly..." Niall said looking at his hands blushing. He said it. He fucking said it. Woohoo!

I placed my hand under his chin and lifted his head so he was looking at me.

"Guess what idiot?" I asked him while suppressing my smile and I stood up as if I was gonna leave.

"What?" He asked quietly, insure of what I was abut to say.

"I love you too." I smiled then pulled tongues at him and ran around the fountain giggling

Niall began laughing a bit and came from the other side of the fountain and narrowed his eyes playfully. I really do love him I just don't want to say it properly yet in case he doesn't love me as much. You know what I mean?

"Catch me if you can!" I shouted to him and ran then hid behind the corner. He was right behind me so I couldn't really hide.

"Where do you think your going princess?" Niall asked me. He called me princess! I just melted inside.

"I don't know. It was fun though, right, prince?" I said and raised an eyebrow when I said 'prince'.

"I have one more question..." Niall said and bit his lip. Oh god, the things this boy does!

"What is it?" I asked him. I genuinely do not know what he's about to say.

"Be my girlfriend?" He asked. Now, time to run, jump, kiss and tell.

I walked back a bit and Niall looked as if he just got hit by a bus and sighed then looked at the floor. I jogged and jumped at him, knocking him to the floor but but my hands under his back to break the fall a bit so it didn't hurt him. Then I looked at his confused face and giggled. I looked onto his brilliant blue eyes and kissed him passionately. I pulled away after a few minutes and said it.

"Yes, silly, of course I will!" And we both laughed.

"When you walked back I thought you was saying no. I'm gonna kill you one of these days Nelly." Niall smiled and leaned in again. I leaned forward and pressed my lips to his.

"Eeew! Nelly and Niall lying on a side street, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" Louis and Eleanor sung childishly and mine and my boyfriend's...

Yeah, you heard it right, boyfriend's heads snapped up and we blushed and glared at them but then started laughing and I stood up. I stuck a hand out for Niall to grab and I helped him up.

"So, I take it by the scene going on it went well?" Zayn smirked.

"No shit Sherlock, what do you think, boyfriend?" I asked Niall smiling.

"Couldn't agree more, girlfriend." He said and put an arm around me with a grin.

"Woohoo!!!" Ally cheered and jumped up and down and we all looked at her emotionlessly and she stopped.

"What? I'm happy. Deal with it. Or you could stop being boring and just join the fuck in!" She said and Perrie, Eleanor and Dani joined in with her.

"Oh what the heck? GET SOME NIALLER!" Louis cheered as if he was at a soccer game even though we were stood like a meter away from him.

The other lads joined in with the girls cheering and shouting random shit and we were beginning to get funny looks from people walking by.

"Okay, calm down, we are in a street you know? There are people walking by and we are getting dodgy looks from
them..."

~NIALL'S POV~

Woohoo! Nelly is my girlfriend. She's all mine! Muhahaha. I'm over the moon!

"What should we do now? We did what we came for. The lovebirds are together." Zayn stated.

"I don't know. Should we just look around some shops? We might as well while we're here." Eleanor hinted.

"Yeah, might as well." We all agreed and headed towards the shopping center.

"Can I get some things for my room?" Nelly asked us shyly.

"Yeah, course." I said and took her hand in mine.

I don't think this day can get any better!
