~ALLY~

That was ace! We just bumped Niall, bless him. We all sprinted for the stairs as fast as we could, with Nelly still being a little cautious about hurting herself. She's really getting better fast. We made it to Nelly's room, which I love, and shut the door behind us before getting comfy on her bed with our snacks. Today we're having a girls day. Well, without all the pampering and shit.

"So, what's the first topic of discussion on?" El asked eating a Pringle. We put all our munchies in the center of Nelly's bed so we can all just take what we like whenever.

"Boys." Perrie said and they all looked knowingly at eachother before turning to me. I know what's going on, they are gonna talk about Harry. Sneaky bitches!

"So, Ally. We wanna know about you and Harry." Dani said smirking.

"Well. There is nothing. I like him but...I don't know, he is really hot. He's a player but you can see how he really is through that, he has a softer side when he is around all of us and I think its cute. I know that everyone says this, but I don't think he likes me in that way." I said and sighed opening one of the ice cream tubs and digging in.

"He will kill me for saying this but nothing we say here will leave this room, okay. Well, he said that he is working on it but it might take a bit of time." Nelly said smugly.

"Working on what? What might take a bit of time?" I asked rather clueless.

"Working on breaking the 'fuck and chuck' habit which might take a bit of time since he has done it this long. And just so you know, he is trying to stop so he doesn't end up hurting you on accident if you ever get together. I don't see why you shouldn't end up together, I mean you both like eachother, evidently quite a lot." Nelly explained and opened another tub of ice cream and Dani did the last one. I couldn't help the dumb smile that graced my face and the blush that crept up on my cheeks as she finished speaking.

"So, Harry does like me?" I asked meekly which is really not like me. I don't get shy!

"Yes! He does! Are you getting shy?" Perrie giggled sharing the ice cream tub with me.
"Shut up!" I whined.

"What's the new topic to talk about then?" Eleanor asked eagerly. Nelly looked like she wanted to say something but she wasn't sure.

"What's up?" I asked her.

"Um, you know when I was talking about what Joe did and you whispered to me that I'm not alone in what happened?" She asked Perrie.

"Yeah." Perrie said urging Nelly on.

"Well, what do you mean by it? If you don't mind me asking." Nelly finished.

"No, course not. Well, I was in this relationship, before Zayn and the boys. Things were going great, but Brad, the guy I was with, he had mild anger problems. He began with giving me the odd shove instead of asking me to move out of his way and he would shout. But I just took no notice of it, just got on with life because I loved him and he, well I thought he loved me. He got more aggressive though and began hitting me and mouthing over basically nothing like if didn't like what I was wearing or if I spilled my drink in his house and i was obviously gonna clean it up, he would go ballistic. Then he got even more aggressive and made me feel really shitty about myself; telling me im fat, ugly, worthless, garbage, pathetic. Then punches, kicks would be thrown. This was when I met Zayn, I was his partner in a physics project and he noticed a bruise on my cheek, I told him I tripped over my cat, but he knew I had no pets and seemed unconvinced but kept quiet about it. He mentioned it to me each time a new bruise stood out to him in each lesson. Eventually Brad got pissed that I was talking to Zayn, even though our conversations were purely friendly talks and decided he would use his own 'method' to show me I was his and no other boy could have me. He raped me. His method was to sexually abuse me into not talking to any other boys. And that was what I meant when I said your not alone in what happened to you because I have been through it too." Perrie finished and half hugged Nelly and we all dived on her in an attempt to comfort her even though she was okay.

"You would never think you had been through that. I'm fucking shocked to say the least." Nelly said shaking her head.

"You wouldn't think Nelly went through what she did either. You can't always tell what a person has been through from just looking. Sometimes people get so afraid of someone finding their secrets/problems out tha they become good at hiding it." Perrie pointed out.

"True, true. Does Brad The Bastard still go to our school? If he does he's good at hiding." I asked her.

"No, and only Zayn knows about what happened, the other lads don't know, these three didn't know, no me did. I don't know how I'd tell the boys I can't just go and say I was in an abusive relationship, that would be a bit weird. I got Zayn to keep it secret because I weren't as close to them as I am now and I wasn't ready for anyone to know. Anyway, Zayn threatened Brad to stay away from me, and let me tell you, you don't want to meet angry Zayn, as hot as he is he's scary when he's angry. Brad ended up switching schools because of Zayn and the boys. He got Harry, Liam, Louis and Niall to intimidate him into moving, and none of the four of them had any idea why but left it at 'he needs to go'." Perrie explained with a smile.

"I knew these be were trusty motherfuckers but I didn't know they were this reliable." I said with a sideways smile.

"I know! They are great wingmen/sidekicks whatever you call it." Nelly giggled nudging me in agreement.

"But anyway, I'm-we're glad your okay now about what happened. If I ever see that bastard I swear I will scoop his eyeballs out with a spoon. You will never forgive him but you can move on, as you know." She added and Perrie smiled gratefully while laughing.

"I know, he won't be around anytime soon, I'm sure of it." She said. My friends are the strongest people I know.

"I hope not for his sake." I said.

~HARRY'S POV~

I decided to go change into something more comfortable, its not as if I'm gong out so I might as well. I went to my room and rummaged through my drawers until I found some sweatpants and a t-shirt, these are the most comfy clothing items known to man, I swear to God. On rout back downstairs, I heard my name mentioned in Nelly's room. Why are they talking about me? I pressed my ear to her door and listened in.

"...but I don't think he likes me in that way..." That was Ally.

"He will kill me for saying this but nothing we say here will leave this room, okay. Well, he said that he is working on it but it might take a bit of time." Nelly said. She is right, I will kill her.
"Working on what? What might take a bit of time?" Ally asked.

"Working on breaking the 'fuck and chuck' habit which might take a bit of time since he has done it this long. And just so you know, he is trying to stop so he doesn't end up hurting you on accident if you ever get together. I don't see why you shouldn't end up together, I mean you both like eachother, evidently quite a lot." Nelly said. Oh god, she didn't say that.

"So, Harry does like me?" I asked timidly. She doesn't get shy!

"Yes! He does! Are you getting shy?" Perrie said and they giggled.

"Shut up!" Ally whined and I could tell she was blushing just by how she said it.

I walked away from the room smiling to myself, at least I got some useful information out of the embarrassment. I will kill Nelly though, even though she helped a shit of a lot.

"Why you smiling? You just found money lying around? Cos if you have it's mine." Niall asked me with his eyebrows raised. I slouched on the couch with him and kicked my legs up on the coffee table, still smirking to myself.

"No, and I just heard a small bit of the girls' conversation upstairs." I said.

"Good cos I didn't lose any anyway. What's so wonderful about what the girls were talking about?" Niall asked and slid down his seat so he was slouching further.

"Well, Ally does like me. And as a bonus she thinks I'm really hot." I said while smiling smugly and Niall just looked at me.

"Well no shit Sherlock we all told you more than once that she likes you, its not hard to tell by howm she looks at you as well. Even a blind person could see it cos its that fucking obvious. But anyway good on you for finding out, now you know and you can do something about it without worrying about her rejecting you." Niall commented.

"Who the fuck in the right mind set would reject me? I'm Harry fucking Styles." I remarked and sucked my teeth and Niall rolled his eyes.

"Well, I can name a fair few people who would reject the marvelous 'Harry fucking Styles'." He said sitting up.

"I was sort of taking the piss a bit but go ahead, try me." I smirked amused, now I think of it I don't think I've ever been rejected by a girl.

"Let's see: Nelly, Perrie, Dani, Eleanor-" He began but I cut him off rolling my eyes.

"Of course they would reject me I'm like a brother to them and they aren't even single. Where are the others?" I said in a duh tone and Niall it his hands up in defense.

"True, and they are in the game room. I couldn't be assed moving and I would rather watch TV." Niall shrugged.

"Hm." I hummed not knowing how to reply and silence took over us except for The Simpsons on the TV.

After about an hour it got so boring watching the gang of yellow assholes they call The Simpsons, so I decided to ditch a sleeping Niall and head upstairs to the girls to see what they were doing and ask if they wanted some cheesy nachos which I was planning on making.

"Knock knock." I said taping on Nelly's bedroom door.

"Come in?" She replied and I opened the door and leaned against the doorframe.

"What you guys up to? Whatever it is its more eventful than what I'm doing, I'm bored shitless." I sighed smiling at them all.

"Just gossiping. Why, what are the other guys doing?" Nelly asked.

"Well, Nialler is sleeping on the couch, Liam, Zayn and Louis are in the games room. I can't be assed watching TV or playing on the Xbox or anything so I'm probably gonna go sleep for a bit soon." I said aimlessly and looked around Nelly's room.

"Aw, bless his heart." She began sarcastically and rolled her eyes.

"What are you gonna do before you go to sleep for a bit?" Ally chirped in.

"That, my dears, is the original reason I came up here excluding the fact that I'm bored. I'm making some cheesy nachos and I was wondering if you wanted some?" I asked looking through Nelly's jewelry.

She kept it in a small heart shaped box on her dressing table next to her mirror and perfume bottles. She didn't seem to give a shit so I carried on.

"Yes!" They all agreed and followed me down the spiral stairs and came to a halt when the saw Niall flat out on the sofa, one leg over the back of it.

"Aw, he so cute when he sleeps." Nelly grinned and pulled her phone out and snapped a pic before tapping his head gently and pecking a quick kiss and joining us in the kitchen.

"You don't need to stay in the kitchen you now? I'm only putting grated cheese on plain Doritos then microwaving them." I stated.

"Oh well, we're here now." Perrie shrugged.

I got a bag of plain Doritos out of he cupboard and tipped them into six bowls.

"D'ya think Niall, Lam, Louis and Zayn will want some?" I turned and asked the girls.

" Probably." Ally said and i nodded grabbing another bag of Doritos and evening the two into ten bowls.

I took a few steps to the fridge and got the grated cheese then sprinkled it on each bowl of nachos.

"Who wants theirs first, Nelly?" I suggested glancing over my shoulder.

"Duh, course I do." She replied giggling and i smiled and put a bowl in the microwave and rubbed my hands together and leaned against the counter top facing the girls who were aimlessly looking around the kitchen.

"So..." I said dragging the 'o' out.

"So..." They all responded at slightly different times.

"Whatcha talk about upstairs? I kinda feel left out." I asked trying my best to seem unsuspecting.

"Nothing really, just laughing about those douche bags in school." Ally said which was true, just not he whole truth. I know they would never say they were talking about me, it was worth a shot though.

"Whats funny about it? They're really annoying, big headed and egotistical. And they tried to go after you when you've got boyfriends, most of you i mean." I pointed out and swiftly glanced to Ally who was already looking at me. If only she knew I heard what she said like one and a half hours ago.

"Well, that's whats so funny. The fact that they think they can get into any girls pants, single or not. And how full of themselves they are, like, its not bad to have self confidence but you can practically smell the self obsession on them." Nelly explained and the microwave pinged.

"I guess, but they have one of those faces that you just want to punch. Especially Hunter, don't you think?" Nelly said and I passed her her cheesy nachos and she took them gratefully and tucked in.

"Wait, which one is which?" Dani asked.
"Hunter is the one who was gonna say he wants Nelly to give him a blowjob but she cut him off, Jack is the one who asked where me and Louis were and Taylor is the one who said Nelly is feisty." I told them whilst putting another bowl of nachos in.

"Oh, yeah I'd totally run Hunter, and the other bellends over with a lawn mower, in a heartbeat. Only if he tries anything again, he might have gotten the picture, hopefully." El said.

"Trust me, they wont give up until one of us lads step in. They're just trying to provoke us, mainly me because i have the worst temper which I'm trying to get under control. These four know, especially Nelly." I explained to Ally since the other four knew what i'm talking about and she nodded understanding.

"Why especially Nelly?" She pressed. Oh shit what am i gonna say? 'I beat her unconscious because I'm an angry child who has issues?' fuck no.

"Nelly, explain." I said and Nelly raised an eyebrow and bit her lip for a sec.

"I said something last night i think it was which brought back memories of his mom and sister, i didn't realize this by the way, and i bugged him then he shouted at me." She explained purposely making me sound like a total dick. The girls all rose their eyebrows and pursed their lips at me.

"Thanks for explaining that tremendously well Nelly, you know how to make someone sound like a total prick don't you. How about i tell you in DETAIL." I suggested sassily.

"Well, remember when Nelly said I should make food for them because I can apparently cook? Well, that reminded me of when I used to cook for my mom and my sister and it just brought back memories that would rather keep on the down low which killed my mood. Then Nelly was going 'Haz. Haz. Haz. Harry. Harry. Harry. Harold. Harold. Harold. Harriet. Harriet. Harriet.' Which is super annoying." I said defending myself.

"Fine. You win. I'm gonna go wake Niall up for his cheesy nachos." Nelly rolled her eyes and slunk over to the living room.

~NELLY'S POV~

"Niall. Waka-fucking-wakey." I sung crouching over him and he stirred slightly.

I sat on his legs and leaned forward near his face and thought of what to say. I got close to his ear and chattered my teeth together so they made a weird biting sound and kept doing it until he woke up. I thought he was just taking a little nap! He stirred a bit more and his blue eyes opened.

"Hi there! Harry made you cheesy nachos. Come and get them while they're still hot!" I said smiling and he yawned.

"Did my ear taste nice?" He chuckled and i licked my lips.

"Yup, ears! My favorite!" I giggled and climbed off him and he followed me to the kitchen.

"Good afternoon, pick any." Harry said gesturing to the four spare bowls of nachos he made while I was waking Niall. He ended up picking the one with the most in.

"Cheers mate." Niall thanked Harry and I went to get Louis, Liam and Zayn.

I headed down the short flight of stairs to the games room, but no one was in their. I turned behind me hearing the sound of repetitive smacks and heavy breaths in the gym. I went in to find Louis on the cross-trainer, Liam beating the shit out of a punching bag and Zayn doing chin ups on the bar; all had earphones in. I walked a bit further seeing if they noticed me and Zayn smiled at me acknowledging my presence and landed on his feet pulling his earphones out so he can hear me.

"Harry made you cheesy nachos." I said.

"Okay, thanks." He said grabbing a towel out of nowhere and heading upstairs to the kitchen while I walked over to the cross-trainer to Louis.

"Louis." I said in a sing-song voice pulling his ear phones out.

"Hey! What's up?" He grinned a contagious smile which I returned.

"Hey! Nothing, Harry made cheesy nachos." I said and he got off the piece of equipment.

"Okay, thanks." He replied grabbing a towel from the floor heading to the kitchen.

Finally, I went to Liam and caught the punching bag right after he wacked it before it swung back for him to hit it again and he stopped in his place and pulled his earphones.

"Hey Liam, Harry made cheesy nachos." I said. I've said that sentence so many times its starting to sound weird.

"Oh great." He smiled and tried taking his boxing gloves off but struggled a bit and held his hand out for me to do it.

"Thanks." He said and I waited for him.

"Right, let's go get our food before Niall eats it." I smiled and we went to the kitchen. I can't believe I'm gonna say this but, I actually miss going to the gym. I'm gonna start again next week I think.

We got to the kitchen and I sat on the kitchen counter then turned the radio on and Liam had my old seat at the island and ate his nachos. I started playing with my hands out of boredom and looked at my nails which are a little chipped. This cannot be left like this, I need to sort this shit out. I went upstairs to my room and got my box of nail polishes that I packed away with my make up in a separate bag and took it downstairs.

"What's in the box?" Eleanor asked and came to sit next to me.

"Nail polishes!" I grinned, I love painting nails!

"Cool. What colors you got?" Perrie asked coming over with Ally at her side.

"Check yourself." I smirked and let them go through the box while I removed my current, chipped polish.

"Ooh, I like this one." Ally said looking me directly in the eye.

"Yeah, you can use it. Same with you two. Dani! Feel free to do your nails of you like!" I said to Perrie, Ally and Eleanor before informing Dani.

"Sure, be over in a sec!" She smiled back at me.

I finished taking off my nail polish and was stuck between five different ones; bright red, a matte turquoise, matte black, baby pink and bright purple. I'm also not sure if I should put glitter on too.

"I think you should dooo......matte turquoise." Perry said but El disagreed.

"I think matte black." She said, Dani joined us and also thought otherwise.

"In my opinion you should do bright red." She said.

"But black goes with everything! " Eleanor argued.

"Red goes with most things too!" Dani shot back.

"So does turquoise!" Perrie reasoned.

"As does purple!" Ally chirped in, we're going nowhere here. I slipped away and went to ask the boys who were having a more settled conversation about soccer, or as they call it, football.

"Hey, which color should I do my nails. I tried asking the girls but as you can see..." I said and nodded my head to the girls who are having a heated debate on which color still.

"Yeah..." I said and put my nail polishes on the table in front of them and leaned my head on Niall's shoulder.

"Nice color." Liam said picking up the purple.

"Yeah, this is a cool one." Niall said looking at the turquoise one.

"I think black, goes with everything. Know how you girls are with everything going together." Zayn said rolling his eyes playfully.

"Good point but you can always change them." I argued not wanting black anymore.

"Actually, minus the black one. I've changed my mind about it" I said and took the bottle back.

"I say the blueish one." Niall said and Louis nodded agreeing with him.

"I say red." Harry disagreed.

"Greeny blue I think." Zayn said.

"I think purple." Liam said.

" 'Greeny blueish one' it is." I chuckled and picked the bottles up from the table.

"Thank you go your help!" I said and went back to the girls who were now painting their nails in their own colors they were admiring previously while making small talk, the not awkward and not annoying small talk by the way.

"So apparently Jenifer is seeing Leon behind Carl's back." Dani said and we ball gasped. Holy shit.

"Wait, it goes better. Also, Carl is supposedly seeing Leon's sister behind Jenifer's back too." She added and I blew on my nails to help them dry.

"Hold up. So Jenifer is supposed to be with Carl but she is seeing Leon secretly and Carl is seeing Leon's sister as well as Jenifer? Holy crap!" I said breaking it down. Gang of hoes.

"They need to make their minds up." Perrie shook her head laughing.

We carried on talking about random shit as per usual and painting our nails. It seems as if I've known these girls my whole life, same with the lads too.
