Harry's POV
“Everyone down here, NOW!” Simons voice boomed, waking me up. I groaned into the Nialls irish flag pillow and opened my crusted eyes with heavy distaste. I didn’t want to wake up. My eyes opened just enough to peak at Nikki soundly sleeping not far from me. A tired smile slowly spread on my plump lips. I could never get enough of this girl. “Thats it!” Simon yelled and his loud footsteps could be heard stomping up the stairs.

I know that I should be at least trying to get up, but I didn’t. I just layed there, eyes half open and staring at Nikkis still, sleeping frame. I feel like a creeper. I mean, sure, people watch other people sleep, especially couples, but Nikki and I aren’t together and I’m way too happy as I watch her sleep. I feel like a creep for wanting to brush my hands across her sleeping body (not sexually) and hold her close to take in her scent.

I heard Simon march down the hall and bang on a door. Nikki rolled around and let out a heavy breath. I cringed at Simons loud knocking that could be heard for miles. I watched Nikki fidget, but not wake up before glancing at the clock on the nightstand next to me. Underneath the time it showed the date.

“10:30, monday” I whispered to myself, not thinking about it. But then, it clocked. “Shit, it’s monday.” I cursed. We have school today, and we obviously aren’t there.

“Ugh, WHAT!?” I heard Louis yell in his morning voice. Simon probably knocked the door down.

“Downstairs. Now.” I heard Simon demand. Nikki shifted and mumbled something in her sleep and that’s when I realized that all this noise was going to wake Nikki up, and I didn’t want that to happen. I scrambled out of the bed, now awake. I heard Simon stomp down the hall and pound on another door.

“I heard you the first time!” I heard Zayn loudly complained and I pulled my tangled curls in annoyance at all this noise.

“Then get up Malik!” Simon roared, followed by more stomps and I stumbled to the door, opening it just as Simon was about to knock. Simon looked surprised at first but quickly found his words.

“Downstairs” he said in a gruff voice with a deep frown and I flinched at how loud he continued to be loud.. I nodded, which was a stupid idea because my head throbbed at the action. It didn’t throb as bad, but enough to already frustrate me. Simon turned on his heel and stomped down the steps without another word. I glanced over my shoulder and surprisingly Nikki was still asleep. Maybe thats what a hangover does to her. I quietly closed the door behind me and let out a yawn.

“Hows Nikki?” Liam asked my in his rough morning voice, dragging his feet as he walked to me with Louis. I did this weird arm flop in attempt to wave at them. Why wave, I don’t really know.

“She’s still asle-”

“After all that noise Simon made?” Louis practically shouted and I shushed him.

“Shh, be quiet. Just let her sleep” I said in a quiet voice.

“She’s not going to wake up happy” Louis said and I nodded.

“Someone should watch her, you know so someones there with her when she wakes up” Liam said.

“But you heard what the old grinch said ‘everyone downstairs’” Louis sassed and scratched his bedhead. Zayn and Nick walked out of their bedroom, both looking tired. Nick was twisting a necklace that wasn’t around his neck before.

“Hey” I greeted them. Zayn didn’t acknowledge us he was too grumpy, but Nick gave me a small smile.

“Hi” he said.

“So, I’m guessing that’s your birthday present” I said, pointing to the necklace as we all walked down the stairs. Nick smiled and nodded.

“Yeah, he got me this necklace and he made a cool picture frame of him and I” Nick said, and just as he was about to show me his necklace, Simon yelled for us to hurry up. We quietly filled into the livingroom where Simon, Anjelica and Niall were. Anjelica and Niall looked awake and I could tell that Simon already gave them a talking.

“I can’t believe this” Simon said in a low tone and glared at us as we took seats. “What were you all thinking?!”

“Sorry Uncle” Louis said in a tired and annoyed voice. “We just wanted to have a little fun.”

“Fun?! Louis you drank all of my alcohol and the house is a mess” Simon said, swinging his arms around to the livingroom to the mess. Some alcohol stained the carpet, the table was sticky, the couch pillows were thrown everywhere and just more and more mess.

“Simon please” Louis whined, holding his head “You’re starting to make my head hurt more than it did earlier.”

“Well it should hurt!” Simon frowned. I bit my lip and rubbed my forehead, feeling the pain in my head increase. I didn’t get totally smashed, but I wasn’t totally sober last night either. Simon looked among all of us and realized someone was missing. “Where’s Nicole?” He asked in frustration.

“Up stairs” I said. Simons face started to contort.

“Why isn’t she down here?” he asked, clenching his jaw. Liam jumped up from the couch and whispered in his ear. Simons face seem to soften a bit, but you could tell that he was still upset. “Go keep an eye on her” Simon said to Liam. Liam slightly nodded and left the livingroom.

“We didn’t even plan to get drunk in the first place, Nick wanted to do it for his birthday” Louis sassed and Nick shrunk up next to Zayn on the couch across from me and Louis.

“Sorry..” Nick apologized, not looking at Simon. Simon sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration as he closed his eyes.

“Boys...”

“-And girl” Anjelica cut in.

“And girl” Simon said, eyes still closed. “You all need to be more responsible. Not only have you made a mess, Nikki got sick and you are missing school.” Simon said. Everyone seemed to care less about school, well, not everyone if Nikki was up. She would care a whole lot.
“Nikki got sick?” Anjelica seemed to panic and I was quick to correct Simon.

“She just isn’t feeling well, I mean, it’s her first time drinking” I said, and that seemed to calm her down.

“We’re teenagers, we make stupid mistakes” Zayn said as if he was older and more mature than the rest of us. Simon let his hand drop and opened his eyes.

“Yes, and in the end teenagers deal with the consequences” Simon said. “I want all of you to clean this house” Simon said.

“That’s not to bad..” Louis mumbled under his breath.

“Oh and don’t worry, that’s not all. Boys, you all are grounded and won’t be doing anything outside of school. As for the girls and Nick, I’m not in charge of them” Simon said, eyeing Anjelica.

“Grounded?” Zayn whined in protest. Even though Simon isn’t our father, we are still living under his house and have to abide by his rules and do what he says. But in some ways, I consider him as a father.

“Yes, grounded.” Simon said. “And Nick isn’t allowed to sleepover until you are ungrounded.” Simon added, and that was like the icing on the cake for the two boys. Zayn groaned and crossed his arms over his chest while Nick pouted. I could tell Nick was pouting to try and change Simons mind. I mean, c’mon, Nick looked adorable when he pouted and if I were Simon, I would have immediately changed my mind. Simon seemed unaffected though and turned to face me when I spoke.

“How long are we grounded for?” I asked.

“For as long as I say so” he said. Louis jumped up from next to me and looked like he was about to protest when Liam walked in.

“Nikki’s up” Liam said, walking into the living room. “And she’s not too chipper” Liam added.

“I wouldn’t be chipper either after what happened” Simon said.

“She won’t take the advil” Liam sighed.

“Someone go help him” Simon grunted and stalked off to his bedroom, but not without saying one last thing over his shoulder “And you all finish cleaning quick because you are all going back to school today!”

“Ugh!” everyone except myself and Liam groaned Louis and flopped down on the couch, his shoulder knocking mine. He threw his head back and hit the back of the couch. “Ow” He groaned, but didn’t move a muscle.

“I hate cleaning..” Niall complained and copied Louis action, except she didn’t hit his head as hard as Louis did.

“I hate school” Nick joined in with Anjelicas complaining.

“And I hate to leave you guys to do all of this” Anjelica said with sarcasm and stood up to leave.

“But I don’t want you to leave” Niall said with big blue eyes.

“Sorry babe, but I actually have to go. I have work soon” she said and gave him a quick peck before leaving.

“I’ll go help you ” I said to Liam since no one else answered or volunteered. I sat up from the couch and stretched my limbs quickly before I quietly followed Liam up the steps.

“Nikki..?” Liam softly called out, stepping into the room. Nikki groaned, curled up in a ball on his bed.

“Love..” I said, kneeling down next to the bed.

“Don’t talk..too much noise” she whined.

“Advil will make it feel better.” I said.

"No" Nikki said in a stern voice, tucking her head down into her chest with her eyes clenching shut.

"Love please" Liam asked, kneeling down next to me with a glass of water and the advil pill.

"I can't" Nikki whined and winced. Nikki, such a stubborn cutie with her strange fear of toothpicks and taking pills.

"It will help your head" Liam said, getting sitting next to her on his bed.

"You've done it before" I said.

"C'mon, it's not scary" Liam said, rubbing her back. Nikki groaned and rubbed her tired face. Her curly hair was in a messy ponytail that I made last night and my clothes pooled around her skinny frame. She slowly opened her eyes to slits and eyes were red and her delicate lips were in a sleepy pout.

"I’ll show you” I said and grabbed the bottle off the nightstand. I took the pill dry, having no problem doing it. “Easy” I flashed her my cheeky smile. The headache that was lightly throbbing turned into a very dull ache that was durable. She narrowed her eyes and slowly sat up.

“You got it” Liam said, handing her the glass and placing the advil pill in her palm with her fingers curled. She looked at it before shoving it in her mouth and gulping down water.

“There you g-” I cheered, but she spit the water and pill right in my face.

“Ugh I almost choked!” she shrieked and held her head. I lifted up my shirt and wiped the water off my face.

“Ah you almost had it” Liam said. Nikki grumbled as Liam took out another advil pill from the bottle. I know how ridiculous this is. Having to treat a teenage girl like a little girl because she’s afraid of a measly pill, but all you can do is just try. Nikki took the pill from Liam and stared down at it in her palm. After a solid minute of her just sitting there, I huffed and snatched the pill from her hand. She opened her mouth to protest, just what I wanted her to do. I stuck the pill in her mouth and pushed the glass up to her lips.

“Harry!” Liam gasped and Nikki glared at me before taking a sip from the glass. I pushed the glass into Liams hand and clasped my hand over her mouth before she could spit it back out at me. She clawed at my hand but I kept it firmly around her mouth. “What are you doing, stop” Liam said, looking at me. Nikki had nothing to do but to swallow, and thats what she did. She swallowed with a loud gulp and I pulled my hand back.

“See?” I smirked “Not that bad.”

“Jerk” she said.

“Are you okay?” Liam said, tilting her head to face him.

“Yeah, but my head still hurts” she said, side glancing at me.

“The pill doesn’t work immediately” Liam chuckled and Nikki layed back down on the bed while holding her head.

“Never, ever trick me into drinking” Nikki whined and both Liam and I chuckled. “Stop laughing it hurts buttfaces” she said, making her even more adorable. It’s kind of cute how she never curses. “I really hate you guys” she said.

“You love us” Liam said.

“Of course I do” she said sarcastically and buried her face into Liams fluffy pillow. “what time is it?” she randomly asked.

“Almost 11” Liam said, leaning back a bit to check the clock on the nightstand.

“Ugh, later than usual on a sund-Wait!” She shot up but immediately flopped back down on the bed with a pained groan.

“Woah, easy there” Liam said.

“It’s monday” she gasped, one hand on her stomach and the other on her head.

“Yes” I said, standing up and looking down at her.

“That means there’s school. I’m late for school” she said. See, I told you she cared about school.

“We have to go back today after we clean the house” I said.

“But I have to go now!” Nikki complained and sat up. AGAIN.

“First, you should eat something” Liam said, slowly helping her stand up. Her skin, which already looked pale, seemed to turn a sickening color.

“I don’t think I can eat something” she said.

“GUYS HURRY UP! AND COME EAT BEFORE YOU LEAVE!” Simon yelled from downstairs. Nikki winced and silently protested as we walked with her downstairs to the kitchen. I looked in the living room as we passed and it wasn’t even a stitch cleaner. As a matter of fact it might of looked even worse.

“Why isn’t the living room clean?” I asked Simon as we walked into the kitchen.

“Since you kids can’t clean properly” Simon said, glaring at Louis, Nick, Zayn, and Niall. “I’m just gonna clean it up myself and you guys will have to organize the garage instead.”

“I tried to tell him that we were better off cleaning half-arse than organizing the garage, but he didn’t listen” Louis said. Simon was quick to make us sandwiches and we dug in, satisfying our stomachs, all except Nikki.

“I can’t no no” she said, shaking her head. Good to know that her head doesn’t hurt anymore.

“It’s just like the advil pill, after you took it you felt better. The food will make you feel better.”

“Nope, no way” Nikki protest and Zayn stepped in.

“Trust me, I’ve gone through this too. You will feel ten thousand times better” Zayn said and that’s all it took for her to take a bite into the sandwich.

“Why is it only you she listens to?” Liam and I complained.

“It took forever to get her to believe us about taking the pill” I groaned.

“Harry eventually just forced her to take it” Liam said.

“Wow, you’re right Zayn” Nikki said through a mouthful of sandwich. “I feel better already, can I have more?” she asked.

“That sounds like something Niall would ask” Simon joked, just briefly out of his strict fatherly mode and Niall smiled goofily.

“Alright then, I guess we better go” Louis said, looking for his keys.

“Looking for this?” Simon said, holding up Louis keys.

“Ah yes, thanks Uncle” Louis said, reaching for his keys, but Simon held it out of reach.

“Yeah right. You’re not allowed to drive as long as you’re grounded” Simon said and Louis deflated like a balloon.

“Why?” Louis asked devastated.

“Because I said so, and you can’t go yet until you all change.”

“But I so need to take a shower” Nick said, looking down at himself.

“Too bad. Spray cologne on you” Simon said. “Be done in 5 minutes or there will be more punishments” Simon said. We scrambled around and barely got changed in time. Nikki wore her clothes from yesterday since they got washed and everyone else quickly threw something on.

“I look a mess” Nick said, walking out to the car.

“You’ve got to be kidding. I look like I’ve been hit by a truck” Nikki said, tugging on her backpack that Anjelica dropped off before while we were changing. Nikki was so lying, because even with a hangover, she still was beautiful.

“Nick, don't even lie. We both know that you look amazing no matter what. At least you did your hair, I didn’t even do my hair” Zayn huffed, but in reality, his hair looked just fine. Nicks blushed and looked down at his shoes.

Simon drove us to school and made up some lie so that we were excused for being tardy. I don’t understand why we ended up going to school when we only had 2 and a half classes left, and sadly, none of those classes I have with Nikki, so when she said goodbye and went off to her class, the was the last time I saw her today. I know that sounds dramatic but it’s true.

I zoned out during all of my classes and didn’t keep up a conversation with anyone. Not only was I feeling the best, but I can’t even see Nikki and asked how she’s doing. She’s probably having the hardest time out of all of us. Maybe I’ll actually text her tonight for once.

Notes

Please don't hate me!
The day I was going to update, my internet decided to hate me! I had no internet and I was so worried that you all would be mad!
And then yesterday, it wouldn't let me onto my account! I tried so hard to figure out what was going on.
And then today my mom just decided to breathe down my neck every 5 seconds, so I couldn't update with her bothering me.
All I was thinking was "they hate me, they so hate me! I promised!" I mean, why did the internet have to go out? Why did my account not work? WHY DID MY MOM WANT MY ATTENTION!?
*sigh* and all my work that I wrote erased so I had to write this chapter all over again, and of course its not as amazing as the first one I wrote and it's boring. SO this was just a boring filler chapter.
The next chapter has to at least have some more spice, so uh..hint hint..there will be upcoming drammmmmaaaa! And Nirry fluff :) Does anyone still ship them? Does anyone still ship Liam and Nikki? Ya'll still love Zick and Niall with Anjelica?
Thought my loves, thoughts. Give them to me! I will listen :) Message me or comment and I love you all so very much!
