~NIALL'S POV~

I didn't really catch a good look at her before she ran to the bathroom, but from what I saw, even though it was basically nothing; she was fucking perfect. I always knew she was insanely beautiful from when I saw her but seeing her body, even at a quick glance, proved my point further. I leaned back against the headboard on her bed and waited for her to emerge from the bathroom.

I love how I can take her mind off her problems for even a split second so she can smile and joke around and enjoy herself, before a 'certain psycho' does something. Like when he put the underwear, from the night/day he raped her, into the box of her parents things under her bed with a fucking note. I mean who the fuck does that?! You must be so fucking sick and twisted to even think of doing any of the many things he's done to her. I honestly wanted to go find him and kill him slowly and painfully from how destroyed Nelly was last night. It was dreadful seeing her like that. But I made her think of something else; I helped her let it go. It felt good to tell her about Dakota. I've told no one except the boys and Nelly about her; not even Perrie, Eleanor or Dani know. It's hard to talk about her with anyone. Well, seemingly everyone except Nelly, I feel like I can tell her anything.

"Yoohoo!" Nelly called and jumped on the bed in front of me with a smile on her face, pulling me out of my thoughts. Her happiness was just radiating off her at that moment and I laughed at how hyper she was. She jumped up again and gabbed a bag and put some things in.

Her hair was pulled up into a bun and she had almost no eye make up on and her lipstick was lighter, but she still looked stunning. She was wearing a white T-shirt and ripped denim shorts.

"Someone's excited for the beach!" I laughed. She climbed onto my lap with one leg either side of me.

"Hell yes! Its the perfect weather for it too! I haven't been for ages!" She squealed like a little child and grabbed my hands.

"I can't wait to throw you into the water, just a heads up." I warned.

"You can try but you won't catch me or be able to pick me up. But if you do, I will drag you down with me." Nelly winked back.

"Oh yeah?" I asked and picked her up bridal style while she clung on to me.

"I forgot you did this before...I take back what I said now put me down!" She laughed hysterically. Her laugh was musical.

"Nope." I said and grinned. I went to her door, opened it with her still in my arms and carried her downstairs where everyone was sitting around as usual. They all turned when they heard Nelly's repeated pleas for me to put her down.

"Right, who's gonna help me throw Nelly into the water at the beach?" I asked and they all smirked mischievously and raised their hands. Sean and Kayleigh were unsure of what to do and just copied everyone else; still sensing Nelly's annoyance at them though she wasn't looking at them.

"Good. You didn't say I couldn't use help if i need it." I said smartly to Nelly who was glaring at me. I put her down and backed away slowly.

"Yeah, you will walk slow. Watch when you turn your back." She said and pulled tongues. I glanced back over to Sean and Kayleigh who were obviously wanting to talk to Nelly. They looked to me with a pleading look and I nodded barely noticeably. Catching her off guard, I pulled Nelly to the kitchen and closed the door.

"Use protection!" Dani called.

"Fuck you!" Nelly called back.

"Okay!" Dani replied.

"What's up?" Nelly asked me with a curious smile.

"Sean and Kayleigh wanna talk to you." I said with a half smile unsure of what she'd say.

"I know. I'm giving them silent treatment." She shrugged.

"But I will break the silence at the beach." She added.

"They look really guilty." I said.

"I know but they both gave me silent treatment for two whole days once because I broke Kayleigh's Falling In Reverse wrist band. They literally accused me of cheating on you and I'm giving them silent treatment for like two hours. That's more than fair." She reasoned and folded her arms.

"True." I agreed. Seems fair.

"Okay, you do know we're going in like 15minutes." She said.

"Oh shit." I said and almost ran out of the kitchen and to my room. I put some shorts on under my jeans and got my ray bans. I checked how I looked and ran downstairs.

"Okay, we ready?" Liam asked.

"Yeah." We all said.

"Wait. We got towels right?" Perrie checked and we all groaned.

"Take that as a no." She said.

"I'll go get some." Dani said and jogged upstairs. A few minute's later she returned with a bag.

"Hope you don't mind, I didn't root; it was hanging on your door and it was empty." Dani said to Nelly.

"No its fine you can use my stuff whenever you want. We ready?" She replied with an eager grin and clapped her hands.

"Are you ready?" I returned to her and winked.

"Game on." She said and nudged me with a playful glare. We all streamed out onto the front but realized that there's no way we can all fit into a seven seater.

"Um..." Zayn mumbled and turned his mouth sideways.

"I have a car." Ally blurted out.

"Cool where?" El asked.

"At my house, if someone takes me there I can drive back and viola! Sorted." Ally said.

"Let's go then." Harry said before anyone got a chance and Louis tossed him the keys. They both climbed in and took off.

"Well then." Liam smiled noticing as well. Five minutes or so passed and we were getting bored.

"What can we do for ten minutes?" El thought out loud.

"Twin or Kayleigh can you do something gymnastic-y? You know, show off to us or something." Sean smirked at them.

"Not up for it." Nelly said but you could see she wanted to but was hiding it. I guess her silent treatment is over then.

"What exactly?" Kayleigh asked on both their behalves and Nelly rolled her eyes.

"Some flips, whatever." Sean elaborated.

"Like a cartwheel?" Nelly asked with a small smile.

"Yeah." He said.

Nelly made a small shrug at Kayleigh and they both stood up before going into a cartwheel and waiting for their next command.

"How do you do it so perfectly?" Perrie asked in awe.

"Years of practice." Nelly beamed, answering for them both.

"Wait, how long have you guys been doing it for?" I asked interestedly.

"I started gymnastics when I was 4 and stopped when I was coming up to 15. So about 11years." Nelly said. Wow almost her life time of it.

"I started with her and I stopped going on a routine basis when I was 16 because Nelly left. It was boring without her." Kayleigh said and rolled her eyes to Nelly.

"Aw, Beano! I'm flattered but you shouldn't have stopped going properly!" Nelly said and dragged her into a hug.

"You haven't called me that in ages! I'm guessing silent treatment is over too?" Kayleigh laughed.

"I know I just remembered it! And yeah I forgot all about the silent treatment..." Nelly giggled and after their moment they turned back to us.

"That was cute." El grinned.

"Ah so...next?" Kayleigh smiled.

"Back flip?" Louis threw out.

"Um...okay." Nelly said and did one.

"That was more of a backwards walk over, the ground isn't springy enough." She said.

"It was good enough. Great in fact." Zayn complimented with a thumbs up.

"Thanks." Nelly returned the thumbs up.

"What's that one and its like a cartwheel without using your hands? I forgot the name." Dani asked.

"Ariel?" Kayleigh asked and Dani nodded.

"You'll have to do it, you've had a years more practice than me." Nelly pulled tongues.

"I can't do it properly it goes all lopsided. You can do it best." Kayleigh argued. They stared eachother down for a moment.

"Fine. If I get injured or I die then your paying the funeral/ medical bills." Kayleigh said to Nelly and sighed before going forward into an awesome flip. I just don't get how its even possible to do do these things without cracking your head on the floor, its beyond me.

"Yay! No bills for me!" Nelly cheered and the corner of Kayleigh's mouth quirked up and she shook her head lightly.

"Can you do scorpion?" Dani asked and both nodded.

They grabbed one of their legs and pulled it up and behind their head.

"Crossbow...?" Kayleigh said to Nelly and glanced at her and she nodded.

They then slowly straightened their leg up, so it was very nearly ruler straight, and took one of their hands away and straightened it to their side.

"Awesome." Louis chuckled. They then dropped their legs and stood waiting for their next order.

"I don't know anything else." Dani shrugged with a smile and everyone hummed in agreement with her.

"Dani, do some dancing!" Perrie nudged her.

"No! No, no, no, no, no!" She said with wide eyes. She was never confident dancing/performing unless she was at a competition or rehearsing at the studio.

"It was worth a try." Perrie sighed with a smile and linked arms with Dani.

"Oh my fucking god!" Kayleigh exclaimed and we looked at her worried. She was grinning and she dragged Nelly to her and whispered something to her.

"Oh come on! I don't remember all that, it was like two years ago!" Nelly responded.

"Yes you do!" Kayleigh pressed and Nelly huffed.

"Even still...I don't have a dance partner...or the right ground to do it on...or-" Kayleigh interjected. So Kayleigh is trying to get Nelly to dance I'm guessing?

"Just do your parts then." She said.

"I can't because my shoes are in my room under my bed and its too much effort getting them. Let's just do something else." Nelly shrugged and Kayleigh nodded.

"Seven Nation Army?" She said and they looked at eachother for a moment.

"What's that one where Nelly gave that guy a bon-" Sean was cut off.

"Fuck you Sean!" Nelly exclaimed getting flustered. I only just caught on to what he meant and I smirked to myself but didn't say anything since the others hadn't yet.

"Situations. That's it!" Kayleigh said and Sean pretended to put it on his phone and Nelly panicked.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." Nelly muttered thinking he was going to.

"What did you do?" Liam asked her.

"Noth-" she was cut off.

"She gave her dance partner a boner by accident. He had a thing for her and she ended up having to change partners as well as some parts of the dance." Kayleigh explained suppressing her laughter and Nelly's eyes widened. Everyone stayed silent except for Sean and Kayleigh who were eager to make Nelly uncomfortable about the topic as your typical bestfriend would, and Nelly who was red as a tomato.

"It was so awkward I didn't know what to do. It was in front of the entire class too so everyone saw. It was traumatic." Nelly grimaced and covered her face.

"There was this part of the dance; as you can tell it's a kinda sexual song so some of the moves would be sexy...and poor Jeff couldn't control himself then...BAM...mini Jeff wanted to come out and play." Kayleigh began laughing hysterically along with Sean and Nelly looked like she was ready to go jump off a cliff.

"I felt so awful because I practically announced it to everyone in the studio. Not literally but I couldn't have made it more obvious that something was up." Nelly said.

"Literally..." Kayleigh grinned and Nelly elbowed her in the side.

"Shut up." She groaned.

"Everyone else was getting on with the routine and you and Jeff were just stood their like you just saw someone get shot in front of you or something." Sean laughed.

"It fucking jabbed me in the back what was I supposed to do?! One of the next moves was sitting on his damn lap forGodsake!" Nelly exclaimed. Everyone was still speechless, myself included.

"Maycie was jealous of you for turning him on without trying, you have to applaud yourself for that at least." Sean reasoned cheekily.

"He never turned up for dance for three weeks, I switched partners and we had to change parts of the dance. Gemma was in hysterics; she found it brilliant! Everyone did except me and Jeff; he looked like he was about to burst into tears of shame or something...I probably did too. Can we change the topic now please?" Nelly added uncomfortably. The guys, Perrie, El and Dani and I all piped up at the name Gemma.

"Who's Gemma?" Louis asked almost suspiciously.

"She was our dance teacher/coach/whatever. She was awesome; young too, about 20. Oh, and she was British!" Kayleigh exclaimed with a grin.

Harry's sister was called Gemma, she was obviously British and she's 21 this year. She always talked about becoming a dancer...we looked at eachother, all thinking the same thing.

"Cool! What was she like." I played along.

"Brown hair, I think she had green eyes or brown. She was really pretty too. Gemma was more like a friend than a teacher who tells you what to do. Always asking for our ideas and thoughts. She was into rock music and we did a lot of routines to it. I miss her." Nelly pouted.

"Did she have any siblings?" Perrie asked the question that was at the back of our minds.

"Um...I'm sure she said she had a brother, we didn't even get his name. It was a guarded topic which she didn't talk about much. Every now and then she'd tell us its his birthday and that she misses him. I think he might have gone missing, or he's in the armed forces or something. Why?" Kayleigh said. Suddenly, Nelly had a curious twinkle in her eye and she
looked at me, sensing that something was on all of our minds. Kayleigh and Sean were filling everyone in about dance memories while I called Nelly aside.

"Harry's sister was called Gemma wasn't she? Holy fuck! I didn't realize how much he resembles her." She gasped and clamped her hand over her mouth.

"Yeah, they're like twins. Do you have a picture of her so I can check?" I asked.

"No, I'm sure Kayleigh might." She said and turned back to the others.

"Kayleigh I'm stealing your phone for a moment." She said and Kayleigh nodded before getting back to their conversation. Nelly scrolled through countless group pictures and random images until she stopped near the top of the album.

"Here." She said and passed me the phone.

"That's her. Harry's sister." I said.

"Do we tell Harry?" Nelly bit her cheek.

"I-I don't know. He will flip out and go search for her. He won't stop until he finds her if he knows she's not far away." I said.

"Louis, Liam, Zayn! Come here." I called.

"Can't we come? We feel left out!" El pouted.

"Nope! Strictly guys talk!" Niall called back.

"Nelly's there!" Perrie pointed out. Nelly turned to me and nodded before passing the phone to me.

"Not anymore." Nelly grinned acting as of nothing up. I turned to the lads and showed them the image of Gemma.

"Holy fuck." Louis gasped, they all had wide eyes.

"Say Hello to Nelly's and Kayleigh's ex-dance teacher...Gemma Styles." I said to them. Our attention was drawn to car doors slamming simultaneously and a girl giggling.

"Isn't she a show off with her flashy car?" Harry announced motioning to Ally's white Audi.

"Isn't he jealous of my 'flashy' car?" Ally shot back and shoved him.

"Yeah, yeah." Harry rolled his eyes. Me, the lads and Nelly couldn't help the stare we gave him.

"What's that look for? You look like I crashed the car into a tree or something." He asked suspiciously.

"Nothing. You two have gotten close haven't you?" Nelly saved us.

"No closer than yesterday..." Ally said.

"Hey! I'm trying here!" Harry whined before they both began laughing. We cant tell him. He'll be so fucking destroyed.

"Forget this for now, we can't tell him yet." Liam almost whispered, reading my mind.

"Yeah, and we know Nelly's not gonna say anything." I assured them and we joined the others, acting as if we didn't just find out that Harry's sister, who he hasn't seen for years, is in mother fucking Brooklyn like 6 hours away from us, teaching dance in Nelly's old dance school.

"We ready then?" Zayn asked clasping his hands together.

"Yes!" Everyone replied in sync and separated into the two cars.

In our car was: me, Nelly, Sean, Kayleigh, Louis, El and Liam.
In Ally's car was: Ally, Harry, Zayn, Perrie and Dani.

I just hope that no one brings Gemma up, even the name alone would probably drop Harry's mood below sea level and have him asking questions.

Notes

I'm back! And I'm ecstatic! Vermont was shit, as you probably could have guessed it would be. My aunt Linda is fucking weird!
Anyway, I hope you liked the chappy; its not as long or good, I know and I'm sorry...the next one should make up for it though and its almost complete and it should be up in a couple of days! :D Whooo!<3

And, just to explain why some things are really random in my chapters: I don't actually plan them out or anything or draft. I literally just put myself in that characters position and type away, then read what I've put and fix any mistakes or parts that may not make sense, or add parts in to make it more exciting and interesting (That DOES NOT mean I don't put any effort in or try by the way; I put my a hell of a lot of time and effort into my work, or there would be no point in even doing this!).
Like the part with Gemma: that was a spare of the moment thing because it was getting really boring so I added in the coincidence of Harry's sister being in America...I don't know about you but I think being a little random sometimes is better than being repetitive and droning on.
I don't really think in the same way as some people do with these things, you know, the whole 'mind map-rough draft-re draft-type up-then-spell check' thing. I'm more of a 'go for it-see how it turns out-maybe tweak a little-then spell check' sort of girl haha.
Mini pointless rant complete! :)<3

Enjoy life people!

Okay...I will update soon, toodles!<3 xP
