~NIALL'S POV~

Shit. Nelly almost caught me out. It feels terrible lying to her, but i think its for the best. If she knew she'd feel defeated. Especially considering what he did. It was disgusting, just like him. I couldn't tell her, seeing how overjoyed she was believeing that he didn't bother us last night. And i feel even worse giving her false hope for today. If she finds out, i wonder if she would forgive me.

After Nelly left my room, i jumped ot of bed and went to shower and washed the rough feeling of last night away; drinking and lying. Ive never lied to her before and as far as i know, im certain she's never lied to me...and for that i feel horrible. I got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my lower half, before i went to my room.
I stopped in my place, startled to see Nelly sat on the side of my bed looking confused, worried and annoyed. She had something in her hand but i couldnt make out what it was.

"Hey, whats wrong?" I asked her and stepped forward to her but she put her hand up to tell me to wait.

"What happened last night?" She asked me. Oh...

"What do you mean?" I asked her to give me a moment to think of what to say.

"Don't play dumb, Niall. Something happened here last night. What aren't you telling me?" She asked again and i sighed. That moment didn't help.

"I don't know what your talking about, Nelly." I said. She raised a small stack of photos to me. The photos from last night which i clearly forgot to get rid of. How am i gonna get out of this now? Im fucking gonna have to tell her. I huffed and went to sit on the edge of the bed with a small distance between us.

"I found these in my room before. Only Joe could have done this. Please don't lie to me." She said and I ran a hand through my hair.

"I'm sorry, i didnt want you to find out because it would have spoiled your mood and i didnt want you to be upset or anything." I started and Nelly shuffled closer to me a bit, calming down a little.

"Tell me." She said calmly.

"Last night when i was getting in to the car to come here, there was a note on the windscreen-from Joe. It said something like 'I know how to have fun too' and when we got back everything seemed normal. I put you in here before i went to check your room." I continued and she urged me on, looking slightly defeated as i guessed she would.

"Um-well...your room was tidy and looked fine; but-but there was-uh animal's blood all on your bed. With those pictures scattered over it." I struggled to say it and paused to scope her expression. She was mortified.

"What. The. Fuck. Like a-like an actual animals blood?" She gasped and i nodded.
"Liam said it was probably pigs' blood." I muttered and she looked like she wanted to cry. This is not what i wanted.

"Liam knew? Did all the others?" She asked me.

"No, just Liam and Dani. I wasn't sure what the hell i was supposed to do so i waited for Liam to come home. We took the sheets off and scrubbed your matress as well as we could. He took the sheets down but Dani saw and was freaking out. I told them not to tell you because you It would upset you and all you wanted was one day without him. I'm sorry I lied to you." I apologized and a couple of tears fell from her eyes but i swiped them away.

"How naive can i be; believing he wouldn't do something to ruin our day as usual. It's inevitable that he's gonna do something...he always does." She mumbled and i pulled her to my chest and wrapped my arms around her. This is why i didnt tell her. I dont want her to be upset, i hate it.

"Your not naive." I said and kissed her head.

"Niall, when will this all stop?" She asked me.

"I dont know babe, hopefully soon. But i promise you, it will stop." I swore to her.

"I'm just sick of him." She said frustratedly.

"Me too. He deserves to rot alone over and over again for what he's done to you." I said and kissed her head again.

~NELLY'S POV~

After a couple of minutes, i let Niall get dressed and returned to my room with the horrifying pictures. I feel bad for getting angry at Niall, he only thought he was doing the right thing by not telling me. I got to my room and stopped for a moment when i saw the bed. How can i sleep in that bed when an innocent pig was slaughtered and drained of its blood which was then tipped over it? I know its been cleaned but it just doesn't sit comfortably with me. I put the pictures on the desk and sighed before leaving my room to head back downstairs. Hopefully everyone will be able to take my mind off this shit.

"Nelly! I need some clothes." Kayleigh said to me and i smiled. Perfect distraction. Well, for now.

"Come with me then." I said and we headed back to my room.

"Do you have any band tees? And can i borrow your black skinnies?" She asked and i laughed.

"Yes and yes. Take your pick of my shoes too. They're under my bed." I said to her and she looked, immediately taking my black Vans. Typical. I got her an Asking Alexandria tshirt and my black skinny jeans and passed them to her.

"Im having a shower, okay? Good." She said without waiting for a response and i laughed before disapearing downstairs. Again.

"So, Kayleigh still in her 'bands' phase?" I asked Sean.

"Yep. It doesnt seem like its gonna be a phase anymore. Its not ending soon by the looks of
it." He snickered.

"Thought so. Her eyes glowed when she saw my band tees." I smiled.

"How'd you sleep?" I asked him.

"Good, you?" He replied.

"Yeah, great." I said.

"With Niall, right?" He asked.

"Yeah, why?" I asked him.

"No wonder you slept good." Sean winked and i smacked his arm.

"Why is everything you say somehow linked to sex?" I asked in disbelief.

"I just state what i know." He shrugged.

"Well, you might want to brush up on your facts." I stated.

"Sure." He rolled his eyes.

"Who gave you the clothes?" I changed the subject.

"Harry. We're the same size. The jeans are a little long though so i just turned them up." Sean chuckled.

"Yeah, he has gigantic legs." I agreed.

Soon after our conversation, Kayleigh emerged from the stairs. She had done her make up and hair too and i couldnt help but smile. http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=135269305

"I helped myself to your make up, hair dryer and curlers, hope you dont mind!" She grinned.

"No, course not. You look good." I complimented with a laugh.

"Thank you!" She said.

"I see you helped yourself to my Killer Queen and jewelry too?" I smirked.

"Yup." She confirmed.

"I had no idea you kept SOOO many band tees! And you kept your 'Partners In Crime' wristband too! And your rock CD's and posters in your bottom draw!" She said. I heard feet coming down the stairs indicating that Niall was down now! Woohoo!

"You went rooting? Really? You couldnt have just asked me about it?" I asked her with an eyebrow raised and a smirk. I turned my head to Niall and smiled with a wave, which he returned.

"Your so nosey!" Sean commented.

"Its way more easy to just go look yourself. And you have really pretty bra's and panties too! Where do you get them from?" She continued and i sighed.

"Really, Kayleigh?" Sean chipped in.

"Depends what ones your talking about. Mostly from Victoria's Secret... why was you looking in my underwear draw?" I asked.

"So i can guess what your like in bed and tease you about it. Neither of us are lesbians and your draw was ajar so i just went for it." She said and my jaw dropped and Niall spat his drink out on his way into the living room then burst out laughing.

"Oh hey Niall." Kayleigh waved.

"Why would you want to know?! And your underwear doesnt define what your like in bed, Kayleigh." I said shocked.

"Yes it does! Silk is sexy and your more likely to be the dominant one, lace is just sexy and nice, if you wear mesh/sheer your probably a stripper in bed, leather...haha your definately into the whole chans and whips thing. What else is there? Oh, cotton means your probably just a normal person." Kayleigh rambled and we all just sat there mortified.

"Um... well...i dont have leather or mesh/sheer before anyone makes assumptions." I assured.
"Yeah...but you do have this really, and i mean, REALLY lacy set. It's ridiculous! I mean, lace is pretty but this is impossible. It's literally just lace." She commented putting extra emphasis on the 'just' and I sat confused for a moment.

"Oh yeah. Is it bright red with chain straps?" I asked and laughed. She nodded.

"Well, long story short: the girls swapped my supposed to be normal, pretty, underwear set for that as a joke. So calm yo tits." I informed her.

"Good. If she bites, Niall, buy her a collar to go with that set." Kayleigh said and laughed her ass off with Sean while i sat there with the exact same expression as Niall; jaw dropped, eyes wide and speechless.

"Not funny. You can have that set if you want, by the way. I'm sure it will be of way more use to you than me." I said to her and she gasped.

"And before you ask, no i haven't wore it. Not even tried it out for size and i dont plan to." I added.

"At least i have a sex life." She defended.

"So your not denying that it will be more useful to you than me?" I said.

"Your not denying the fact that you dont have a sex life?" Kayleigh shot back. I narrowed my
eyes at her.

"I'd rather not have a sex life than to have one like yours. I wonder how many guys you will sleep with tonight...maybe at the same time too?" I put out suggestively. Yes, Kayleigh is quite the slut on the sly but no where near as much as Carina or the other one. She has her reasons and she still has her dignity.

"At least i will probably get some action." She defended. I guessed Niall knew what i was gonna say next.

"How do you know i wont?" I shot back they looked to Niall who shrugged. I raised my eyebrows. Kayleigh stayed quiet after that unsure of what to say.

"So...the ten points go to Nelly. Sorry Kayls." Sean shrugged.

"Well...I'm just gonna put this out there...that is the first time i've ever seen you under pressure in an argument before." Niall pointed out with a smirk.

"She's quite the mouthy bitch when she wants to be. Always on her toes." Sean agreed.

"Why thank you, i take that as a compliment." I smiled sarcastically.

"Wait, where's everyone?" I asked after a moment realizing we were the only ones down here.

"Oh, they went shopping then to take the girls home." Sean answered and i gave them then Niall a funny look.

"Them lot...shoppimg?" I asked slowly.

"Yeah, weird isnt it?" Kayleigh commented. Ive never actually thought of them shopping, like for food. I never thought about where it all comes from.

"Liam food shops online and it gets delivered before you ask. We're too lazy to go buy it ourselves." Niall answered my thoughts.

"Can you do that? Thats fucking awesome!" I gasped.

"Your kidding me, right?" Kayleigh said.

"I know! I thought you could only buy clothes and things like that and furniture online...not groceries and stuff!" I agreed and Niall laughed at my excitement.

"No i mean, you never knew that?" Kayleigh put my fire out and they laughed.

"You couldnt have just gone along with my excitement for the sake of it? No?" I groaned at her.

"Nope." She said nonchalantly and i rolled my eyes.

"Ah well...what can we do to kill time?" Sean sighed and clapped his hands together.

"Well...depends if you want to stay in here or go out?" Niall replied.

"Out?" Kayleigh answered.

"There's a park like 15 minutes away...?" Niall suggested with a shrug.

"Is there swings?" Kayleigh asked.

"Do you know any parks that dont have swings?" Niall raised an eyebrow.

"Now who looks stupid? Bitch." I laughed at her and pointed in her face.

"Fuck you hoe." She groaned.

"So...park?" Niall asked and we all nodded. I ran up stairs to put my shoes on, touch up my
perfume and fix my hair a little. When i finished that i grabbed my phone and some money
and went downstairs where Niall was waiting for the others to put theire shoes on and Sean was fixing his hair in the mirror.

"Hey." I smiled at Niall who pulled tongues at me.

"That wasn't very nice." I faked offended.

"Aw I'm sorry." He rolled his eyes and i opened my arms for a hug. He pulled me down to his lap and put his arms aroung my waist. He was typing away something on his phone with his head on my shoulder.

"My mom said 'Hi'." Niall said and i was really confused.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm texting my mom and she said 'Hi' to you." He elaborated and i couldnt help the giggle i let go.

"Tell her I said 'hi' back. And make sure you put a smiley face!" I said and he laughed and shook his head.

"Why a smiely face?" He asked me.

"If you dont she might think i'm a miserable bitch." I shrugged.

"Oh she definately doesn't." Niall assured me. Has he talked to his mom about me?

"How?" I asked him.

"I told her about you. We talk a lot and she asked about you. She said you sound lovely and fun; which fits you great by the way." Niall grinned and i smilled wide.

"Your mom sounds fabulous." I commented.

"Pfft she is." He said and dusted his shoulder.

"Jeez, i was on about your mom not you." I furrowed my eyebrows and supressed my smile.

"Well...I will remember that." Niall warned me and we stood up when we saw the other two were ready.

"You do that." I winked at him.

"Ready then?" I asked Kayleigh and Sean.

"Yup!" They said in sync with a nod and we left the house. We walked slowly down the same route i took yesterday morning.

"Nelly-Bean...Would you rather inject or pill push?" Kayleigh asked me out of the blue and i was confused for a moment.

"Um...what do you mean? Like inject heroin or do pills?" I asked her.

"Yeah...but it doesnt have to be heroin and the pills dont have to be like ecstasy." She elaborated.

"Okay...i would pop Skittles. They are my happy pills." I smirked.

"You cant have that!" She shook her head.

"You said it doesnt have to be ecstasy." I reasoned.

"Fine." She rolled her eyes and i 'whoop'ed.

"Nialler...would you rather be ugly and rich or poor and good looking?" I asked him.

"Ooh um...poor and good looking because looks can get you almost anywhere so i could get a really good job." He said unsurely.

"Good idea." I agreed.

"Sean. would you rather...spend two days straight in a public restroom or spend the next two months taking only public transport?" Niall asked.

"Public transort because i might find someone cute within the two months." Sean said and we all laughed with him.

"Kayleigh would you rather...give up music or not have a reflection." Sean asked and Kayleigh stopped walking.

"Forfeit." She demanded.

"Go ask one of those guys for their number." Sean smirked and subtly motioned to a goup of guys who are without a doubt popular in their school.

"By myself? Are you fucking kidding me? Nelly come with me." She demanded and dragged me by the arm. I mimed a sorry to Niall and made my way over with Kayleigh.

"Shit they're all hot!" She whispered to me and i rolled my eyes. They were all good looking but Niall is way hotter.

"Who you going for?" I asked her.

"Um i dont know." She replied. We finally got to the boys who all turned their headsin our direction when we got to them.

"Well hello there ladies." The one who is likely to be the 'leader' of the group grinned at us.

"Um hi." Kayleigh muttered suddenly going shy and i shook my head knowing id have to speak for her or we'd both look like complete idiots.

"What can we do to- i mean for you?" He deliberately slipped up i rolled my eyes.

"Look, we kinda need one of your guys numbers." I said getting straight to the point.

"Ooooh!" They all clapped their hands at my up frontness and the main guy nodded his head approvingly.

"Why?" He asked.

"Dare." Kayleigh replied.

"It will come at a price." He teased and i groaned.

"What kind of price?" Kayleigh asked and he licked his lips suggestively.

"Uh no. Not from me anyway." I said straight away.

"Why not?" Another guy asked.

"I have a boyfriend." I said.

"Pity." He said.

"For you."I responded.

"Fine." Kayleigh said.

"I'll get the number. You do...whatever." I said and she nodded. He got his phone out and i got Kayleigh's to put the number in.

"732-757-2923" He read out and i nodded.

"Thanks." I said with a small smile and began my walk back when he grabbed my arm and turned me to him.

"You sure that was just a dare?"He raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah and i promise i will delete the number in a minute. We could have pretended but Kayleigh needed it because she forfeited." I rolled my eyes.

"She's Kayleigh?" He asked and pointed to Kayleigh, who was in the middle of snogging one of the guys, and i laughed and nodded.

"You have a pretty laugh." He complimented.

"Thank you." I replied.

"Welcome. And, you dont play dares with just two people." He pressed.

"There is four of us. My boyfriend included and were not playing Dares; Would You Rather actually." I explained and put emphasis on 'boyfriend'.

"Right." He said and layed off with the flirting with a smirk.

"So i better be getting back." I nodded and tried to leave again but he pulled me back...again.

"I dont see your boyfriend around." He stated and i groaned.

"You dont know her boyfriend." Kayleigh stuck up for me and wiped her mouth.

"And you are a terrible kisser." She stated and pointed to one of the guys she had to kiss then grabbed my hand while i laughed and we ran half way.

"Was he really that bad?" I asked between laughs.

"Yeah! The other two werent bad and i didnt get to the one who was trying to flirt with you. Ugh it was all sloppy!" She shuddered and i laughed again.

"Did you get it?" Niall asked as he and Sean stood up from the metal bollards they were sat on and we began walking again.

"Yeah and Kayleigh got plenty more than just a number." Sean winked and Kayleigh rolled her eyes.

"I had to do double because of her and one of them was terrible!" She said.

"Perks of not being single; you dont have to kiss random guys." I hinted at Kayleigh.

"Well, im not much of a 'stick to the one guy' sort of girl." She shrugged.

"We're here!" Niall announced.

"Race ya!" I pulled tongues at him and we began racing to the swings. He was a little ahead of me most of it but he let me win.

"Where's the fun in that?" I asked him as i sat on on of the swings and he got on the one beside me.

"Well i couldnt win you!" Niall said.

"Why not? You were in the lead anyway!" I giggled and Niall shrugged dramatically. He smiled and leaned in close, pulling me closer by my waist. I mimicked his actions then leaned up and closed the gap.

"PDA! PDA! PDA!" We heard from behind us along with a camera click. Me and Niall looked at eachother with the same expression before laughing lightly.

"As if you took a picture of that." I said to them both as they came and sat either side of me and Niall.

"We did. It was cute and the others, like back at Brooklyn, they dont believe you have a boyfriend for some reason." Sean shrugged with a smile.

"And they said hey to you and Niall." He added.

"Tell them Nelly's side bitch hollered." I laughed and Sean began typing away on his phone with a sidewards smile.

"I will let that slide." Niall narrowed his eyes at me playfully.

"Oh my god they sent us a video!" Sean announced with an excited little dance and we all crowded around his phone. This will be the first time in like two years i will have seen them except for on a photo.

*IN THE VIDEO (3rd PERSON)*

Lee, was setting the camera up with Ray, Lisa, Danny, Katie, Lilly, Ellie, Clarissa, Jess, Sophie, Kyle and Faye all waiting impatiently in the background in a huddle.

"Ugh hurry up Lee! For godsake how long does it take! I wanna talk to Nelly and her 'Side Bitch'!" Katie whined.

"Shut up Katie! We all want to talk to her; me the most!" Lee responded.

"If you hurry up we will be able to talk to her sooner! Move, i will do it." Lisa groaned and pushed Lee out of the way. Lisa balanced the phone infront of the TV quickly and returned to the group.

"Easy peasy lemon squeezy." She said.

"Well...what do we say...?" Ray said and took a puff of his joint.

"I will start then shall i? HELLO NELLY WE MISS YOU SO MUCH!!! OH MY JEEEEZUSS!!! YOU HAVE MISSED OUT ON SO MUCH WE CANT WAIT TO FILL YOU IN ON EVERYTHING!" Clarissa announced and they all laughed.

"She's not deaf. Anyway, we hope you've stayed out of trouble, no parties, no drinking, no sex on the beach and no fun. If you have gotten arrested again i will personally slap the shit out of you." Kyle said sounding all parental then laughed.

"Im kidding, but we hope you have stayed safe and your doing good." He added with a grin.

"So, we're gonna go around in a circle...sort of, and fill you in on everything one thing at a time. We wrote these little card-thingies with what we're meant to say. We figured it out earlier." Jess grinned.

"Who has number one?" Faye asked and they all looked on the back of their cards to see.

"Me." Ray said.

"Well, I got a girlfriend, her name is Hollie. She is very nice and kind and we have a lot in common. She's cool but she did not want to be in the video because shes kinda camera shy. She is chilling in the kitchen right now eating fruit and healthy stuff. That last sentence wasn't on the card but i said it anyway." Ray laughed hysterically feeling the effects of his joint.

"Im number two! My parents got married! WHOO! We sent you an invitation but you didnt return it! You little bitch!! Nah im kidding! I took a picture of us all looking smart and in our outfits its so weird! Ray is in a suit and Kayleigh is in a proper bridesmaids dress!" Clarissa giggled and got the picture up then held it to the camera.

"I hate you so much Liss." Ray groaned and nudged her.

"Whatever. Number three go!" Clarissa rolled her eyes with a victorious smile.

"Im going to be an uncle...how fucking weird is that?! Chelsea is pregnant and engaged. Everyone is getting married! Four go!" Danny announced.

"I got a boyfriend like you did! Except it's obviously not the same guy...that would be super
fucked up. His name is Brad! He is super sweet and kind and you would so approve...even if you didnt i'd obviously still date him! Five go!" Jess giggled.

"I have had to take your place and go with Kayleigh to the Falling In Reverse concerts as well as the Black Veil Brides, Asking Alexandria, Escape The Fate and Paramour ones and you will be happy to know i have a new found interest in them. I hope your applauding me on the other side of this camera right now. Six go!" Sophie chuckled.

"I don't know if you heard, but Ian Watkins the lead singer of Lostprophets...he was jailed for sexual assault. I swear, if your still a Lostprophets fan...we will disown you. No kidding. Seven go!" Lee said with a serious expression.

"The Tornadoes (your old dance/cheer group) have put all the videos, like competition entries and practices of their page and the website so if your feeling sentimental you can find them all and stuff! I think they might have put the parties we had there too because sometimes the caretaker forgot to turn the CCTV off...but Gemma never cared." Faye laughed.

"Eight go!" She added.

"I was excluded from school because I beat the shit out of Markus, you know, your freak of an ex. We still never figured out what you saw in him and i hope it rattles your brain of a night, but anyway, he said he put a hex on us all including you because you left him and we're all doomed. I took it literally because it's him, you know, no one would ever know if he is just overly fucked up or if he is being serious. And i kinda threw him through a closed window and it smashed and he went through it... Nine go!" Kyle said nonchalantly.

"The creepy janitor who always winked at us got arrested for apparantly groping Kerris Johnson when she was walking out of school. FREEDOM!" Katie cheered.

"Ten go!" She added.

"Guess who kissed Andy Biersack at a meet and greet? I FUCKING DID! You better be jealous!" Lilly said matter of factly.

"Eleven go!" She said.

"Best 'til last huh? You got that right. Well, I learned how to run in seven inch heels, yup, learned that from you! And I've also had a slight alteration to my relashionship status. His name is Tyson and he's cute. You'd like him." Lisa grinned.

"Well, thats it from us until you reply to us! And you better had you little biach or we will hunt you down and poke you to death. WE MISS YOU! We don't miss Kayleigh or Sean though, they can stay over there as long as they like." Ray said.

"SEE YA!" They all shouted and the camera went off.

*END OF VIDEO*

That was literally the best thing that has happened to me for a long ass time. I didnt realize just how much i actually really do miss them. I giggled to myself and looked up from the phone.

"Ah wow, that was the most organized thing they've ever done." I laughed.

"They sound brilliant!" Niall laughed.

"They really are! So much has happened i cant believe i missed it all." I pouted.

"Aw child. We forgive you." Sean patted my head.

"Do they have Skype?" Niall asked.

"Yeah, we all do." Kayleigh said and Niall made a 'really' face.

"Oh my GOD! You are Skyping them. Right now. No 'ifs' no 'buts'." Sean stated and gave
me no say in the matter.

"I don't have Skype." I tried to back out of it. I don't know why but i feel really uneasy about speaking to them after all this time.

"We do. Now getcha ass here. And you Niall, don't think you can just sit out of this, your meeting the gang personally whether you like it or not." Kayleigh said finally and Sean loaded it all up on his phone.

This is gonna be so weird. I mean, i dont look the same, i dont have all the same interests as i used to. Even my favourite color has changed since the last time i spoke to them. What are they gonna think now?

Notes

Ahh this chapter is so random...don't ask...<3

Did you like it? Do you like the sound of Nelly, Kayleigh and Sean's friends in Brooklyn?
I think they sound pretty cool :)<3
